That's where grid-scale energy storage comes in then. Or at least a less volatile battery chemistry. Not every solution has to be individual unit sized

I honestly loved driving in France...once I realized that parking somewhere near transit (usually at the end of a tram line) was a heck of a lot better than driving my car around in the centre. Outside of the cities, intersections were grea

We (at a public research university in the US) designed a rudimentary CPU, wrote mips assembly, and understood computer architecture for our CS degree. I graduated 6 years ago Edit: we also did formal methods and proofs as part of core curr

Yeah, I have an old Panasonic Sport that I'll take out with some older fellas who live near me in rural Kentucky. They have nice carbon bikes with all the bells and whistles. It's night and day how much harder I have to work to ke

Very off-topic by now, but I have Organic Maps as a backup on Android. Downloaded the entire Eastern US and that works surprisingly well in a pinch. It's hard to beat Google Maps for POI discovery though

So should Google be regulated as a public utility? I am leaning towards search being a natural monopoly due to the huge resources required to build an index/algorithms/etc

It would be more politically palatable to pick a Senator Joe Manchin or Governor Andy Beshear. In other words, a Democrat so moderate that they can win in the reddest of states

I have an M1 Air and I test drove a friend's recent M3 Air. It's not very different performance-wise for what I do (programming, watching video, editing small memory-constrained GIS models, etc)

The main factor that's been an issue for me using an electric scooter was road surface quality. Even small potholes and cracks in tarmac make a scooter dangerous. A bike, electric or acoustic, can go just as fast and be less particular

I know households who are poor and don't have financial education. They own a fully paid-off house, but can't afford to switch from space heaters to heat pump (or gas or anything more efficient). One of them was desperately trying

It's pretty normal in other cities to drive around the city center to get to outlying suburbs on the other side. The Verrazano Narrows Bridge (I-278) and George Washington Bridge (I-95) are far better suited to cross-region travel than

No reason. Countries like Japan have reasonable zoning, meaning industrial uses are separate, but commercial and residential is largely interspersed. Which is great!

Is this really true that software is getting slower? I've been using a budget Windows 10 desktop lately, and I'm shocked by how fast everything is running: ESRI ArcGIS, Firefox, code editors, etc. I remember having a budget deskto

Hertz charges for an "empty" battery. I highly doubt they're losing money on recharges.

Why did the transmission line require replacing the vehicle? I've replaced them on a cargo van...it was cheaper and easier than a pair of rear drum brakes, a normal piece of routine maintenance

There are other big tech companies that could acquire Figma without decreasing competition. I could see Microsoft buying it for example. They don't have a play in the graphic design space, and could potentially benefit from the acquisi

I've been to a restaurant that already does this: pay $X a head, with that dollar amount applied to your bill. I want to say one of the big restaurant POS providers (maybe Toast) provided the infrastructure behind it.
