Only if you’re failing to build enough solar. There is zero reason to ramp up storage rather than reduce the need for it. Over production is cheaper than any other option and reduces the need for longer term storage as daily solar output never drops to zero.

Solar is cheap enough it’s still cost competitive if you assume significant power production is wasted. Further, battery systems are designed to avoid full discharge, design for 99.5% of the time and you have spare capacity for the last 0.5%.

Where does he live? Some states are surprisingly anti-progressive. California actually has measures to help people install solar (since 1979!). Things like HOAs can't deny your installation based on aesthetics, and anything under 10KW is allowed with very little oversight.
What is always overlooked is that Person A was also compensated for their dollars. Person A put in 100k and was compensated for those dollars. They didn't trade their 100k for nothing, they traded it for 100k of something of equal value - Person B's time.

Obviously works for hire do not always imply joint ownership. The reason for the discussion is that we are talking about startups built with implied joint ownership. We are trying to infer the equitable joint split for the reward in building something that is implied, often overtly, to be owned by both parties. Both parties in the two person startup are investors.

Most of the things we purchase with money (we spend time to acquire someone else's effort), are sold as someone else's time. If you pay someone to build a house, it's because they were offering that time for sale. This is why software consultants at most startups never get any equity, because their time was already on sale, and was being auctioned off.

So we invented a query language (GraphQL) to solve an orchestration problem?

Sorry but I don't buy this reason. Especially not to the question: "Why we don't use SQL as a query language?" especially because REST was around way earlier than GraphQL.

Your reasoning could be great to answer the question: "Why we like GraphQL where there are a lot of microservices?"

BTW, there is nothing inherent in the language in itself, if each microservices would be speaking SQL, you would simply need to optmize your SQL query, decompose your optimized SQL query creating simpler queries one for each microservice, send each of those queries to the relative microservices, compute back the final result.

If you replace "microservices" with "table" here you get the standard way an SQL engine works :)

Please, it is not that I am against GraphQL, but it honestly seems like some engineer at facebook was annoyed by SQL, and decide to re-invent it. And that we are all following him or she just because they worked at facebook, which seems unwise.

Maybe the use of types? But what is the difference between a type and something that belong to a table?

Yup. A particularly egregious case:

https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20190909/12232742945/ninth...

The Ninth Circuit:

"We recognize that the allegation of any theft by police officers - most certainly the theft of over $225,000 - is deeply disturbing. Whether that conduct violates the Fourth Amendment's prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures, however, would not "be 'clear to a reasonable officer.'""

Note: Theft! Not asset forfeiture, but actual theft!
"Strict Liability As Applied to Criminal Law

In criminal law, strict liability is generally limited to minor offenses. Criminal law classifies strict liability as one of five possible mentes reae (mental states) that a defendant may have in pursuit of the crime. The other four are "acting knowingly," "acting purposely," "acting with recklessness," and "acting with negligence." The mens rea of strict liability typically results in more lenient punishments than the other four mentes reae. Typically in criminal law, the defendant's awareness of what he is doing would not negate a strict liability mens rea (for example, being in possession of drugs will typically result in criminal liability, regardless of whether the defendant knows that he is in possession of the drugs)."

The only fossil fuel generators that ramp up and down quickly are the ones burning natural gas powering turbines. The rest is rather sluggish. And Nuclear is terrible at this too, especially at load shedding, which can cause a plant to be shut down after which it will take up to 72 hours to power back up.
> In 1984 the writer Stewart Brand observed that "Information wants to be free. Information also wants to be expensive. Information wants to be free because it has become so cheap to distribute, copy, and recombine -- too cheap to meter. It wants to be expensive because it can be immeasurably valuable to the recipient." The result, he said, is a tension that "will not go away."

Information is so incredibly cheap to distribute and copy today that I forget it was still very cheap to do so even before the Internet.

I feel sorry for all of us who believe that money is the only thing of value that was traded in the exchange. Which essentially is your same point, I know.

All those who say, "yeah, but they got paid, the investor risked their money" completely see no value in the time that was traded for the money, which, almost by definition, cannot be the case. The money invested was done so in order to be traded for something of equal value - time. But most people do not see this, and consider themselves lucky if the person with the money was "generous" enough to let them have some of the spoils of their joint effort.

Natural gas ramps as quickly as it can. But let's assume that's true, that's not a point against me, it's a point against solar because then it means that solar is completely unworkable.

No. Because we know we can power an economy with fossil fuels, and do it in any weather, day or night.

Yes. Natural gas isn't great.

Right. That's why we need to get off fossil fuels. But you can't do that with solar or wind.

> daily solar output never drops to zero

True, but it is also almost never 'rated power'. Typically a solar installation will deliver somewhere between 30 and 50% of rated power on average, depending on your latitude it might be even lower. The times when solar panels work at their best is during clear winter days and when they are capable of two axis adjustment. Because of the cost of such an installation the typical choice is to install more panels running at lower efficiency.

And you'd need to size your batteries for those worst case scenarios of obscured sub in which case your panels might only output between 5 and 10% of their nominal capacity.

For reference, my 1600W array is outputting 15.9 Watts right now, earlier, at the best time of the day it was making about 300W due to the sky being overcast. If I had to rely on battery power to make up the difference I would not be able to make it on solar alone.

A healthy mix uses both solar and windpower, hydro if you have access to it (it is by far the most stable of the three and capable of providing baseline power without any tricks).

Solar is a solved problem. Anything that wants to displace regular panels has to do so by improving on them.
Well the idea that a single point can provide the correct response for every part of a nation is a failure. The problem with this thought is that the US federal government is made up of representatives from the states. States with less people have dramatically more say than states with more people simply because there was an arbitrary limit put in place for the number of representatives. Our federal government therefore gives dramatically more power to places that no one wants to live. The best solution is a hub and spoke solution. This doesn't suffer from the local knowledge problem.

Perhaps it's time to divide the United States up into regions as well as states. Similar to how the federal court system already does it. Then the backwards southern states could fail on their own and eat themselves, in a way that allows the sane parts of the country to continue getting along just fine. Then we would put a giant border wall around those regions, especially Florida and turn them into giant penal colonies. Can you imagine the threat of being forced into Florida? Texas would become nothing more than giant flags and slices of bread.

GIFs are short, silent looping videos that work nothing like videos in consumer appliances have ever worked: they don't have pause, rewind or fast-forward controls; part of the effect is that on the first run they tend to run in slow-mo as they progressively download and subsequently run snappy, at times startlingly so.

No technical committee or even loose-consensus-running-code working group would ever come up with anything like that. The mode of pop-culture remixing that GIFs epitomize could never have been anticipated; the value that defaulting to silence delivers has still not gotten through to news sites (good ones, too!) that autoplay talking video over your headphones or god forbid the open plan office; it's even been reported[0] that porn works better for women in GIF mode.

That's because GIFs were never conceived for video. Consumer computer video was never conceived for pop culture remixing (despite having the experience of turntables to pick from). Porn was never conceived for women, for that matter.

GIFs are legacy left for us from a time between the fall of the Berlin Wall and the erection of the EU castle when everyone expected planning and bureaucracy to lose out to spontaneity bordering on anarchy. Many important HN recurring themes are here: privacy vs. normalized surveillance, free speech x hate speech x rogue counter-establishment right-wing speech, the freaking Mac App Store. Every "hacker" that defaults to the safe repressive position is someone who would rather that GIF looked that those barely-working WebM or whatever embeds found on Wikipedia, with little transport controls, bureaucratic efficiency and that wrongthink GIF memes were somehow blocked by "good DRM, DRM that prevents Putin from attacking the system".

They oppose utility-scale solar anywhere except existing industrial land, in favor of the "low hanging fruit" of rooftop solar.

>PEC is an advocate for solar energy, especially distributed solar power generation - small scale solar (usually rooftop) primarily designed to meet the immediate demands of the property in which it is located. In comparison, the size and nature of USS Facilities create challenges for any locality to protect important resources and the public health, safety, and welfare of the community. Virginia has thousands of acres of rooftops, parking lots, and landfills devoid of solar panels in areas of moderate to high energy demand, in addition to contaminated and/or underutilized industrial sites. It is PEC’s belief that we should be looking to these developed areas as the low hanging fruit of future solar sites.

>Utility-Scale Solar (USS) Facilities are industrial facilities and should not be allowed by-right on

>● Subject to a Conditional or Special Use Permit in agriculturally zoned areas with maximum acreage allowed per project and possibly per the entire County; and/or

>● Limited to existing industrial zoned areas.

> ○ Agricultural land should not be spot zoned to create additional industrial zoned areas for USS Facilities.
