I suspect that your clock (or one with the same result) is the future... Right now we have 2 clocks; Universal Time and time zone time. Even today, there is no real practical reason to have such small time zones. It would make sense to expa

The real interesting thing about that use is that it makes it impossible for the NSA and the like to strong arm someone else for the keys. With what we know about the current environment, being your own CA is actually the most secure approa

Pedantic twitch. You wouldn't need the "I"(integral) in PID as we can only drive the system one way. You hardly need the "P"(proportional) either, if you are just trying to figure out when to shut off the power. Tha

There is almost no use of incandescent lighting in commercial applications these days so I think your estimate might be on the high side. From your numbers I get that 4.4% of US electrical consumption is residential lighting. So switching o
