> If you're generating the power at the "last mile" and sending it to your neighbor, that power doesn't travel through a substation, it doesn't travel through long transmission lines that need to be maintained, it's just generated (roughly) where it needs to be, saving you a lot of infrastructure. So it certainly seems "fair" to offset that infrastructure cost at least somewhat - you are providing value to the utility in terms of infrastructure they don't have to build themselves.

This is true if you're not connected to the grid. However if you use power on those cold winter cloudy days you need all that infrastructure still. The difference is when you used the grid's power every day that cost was spread over the year. If you only use grid power 20 days a year that grid infrastructure is very inefficient and costly.

Net metering is an anachronism. You should pay and receive the current spot price which is near zero on Spring/Fall sunny days and super high in Summer evenings and Winter nights.
The most efficient way to solve climate change is to provide every user in the planet the exact amount of goods/services that solves a user's need at the exact time.

This eliminates all the redundant transportation, housing, waste (food, cloths, electronics, equipment)

And the only way to provide is that through tracking (both history and intent).
Mandates are being used in many different ways depending on the country. But even if it were limited to work, the right to work is also recognized as a human right so the analogy to driving still fails.
That's not really accurate. I've lost power 4 times total in 30 years here. Usually big Texas thunderstorms, never heat.

The 100 year winter freeze I lost power for two days, that was the longest ever.

Haven't lost power since then, didn't lose power for a couple years before that.

Pandemic has been really hard. I am a very social person who likes working with other people around me. I have been semi-depressed and now it is just way too long. So yea, it frikin sucks and I hate it. Not to mention I am a bootstrapped solo founder so loneliness is anyway a part of things for me. We are social animals by design (degree can vary).

I am angry (mostly at myself). Some of it due to the Pandemic itself. Some of it due to my inability to do better because of it and not in spite of it. I donno. It is hard. I try to be respectful online as much as possible but may be it shows sometimes.

You should throw a meter on it and actually check. My recent-ish Ryzen 2600 desktop, 1070 GPU, and 27" monitor use <100W when not doing something like intense gaming. Even then, under intense gaming its often between 300-500W of usage. YMMV, obviously.
And 100A isn't unusual, particularly for anything built more than 20 years ago.
Legit, mostly. I’ve recently purchased the game and it is stunning and rather awe-inspiring, with some solid gameplay loops. But, the bugs are heartbreaking. I’m not prepared to invest 100s of hours learning/playing the game with immersion breaking bugs. So I’ve shelved it for now.

The scam IMO is continuing to work on anything other than fixing the bugs.

I guess you didn't read the rest. The fact that European drivers also don't care about living quarters was another big reason.

It is very disengenous (and Americentric) to suggest we should revise our language just because of one event. That's simply giving more ground to the wrongdoers. Slave owners only used the word because of its existing connotations, after all.

Its ok to have a master copy, it is desirable to master your soul, someone might be of high station and therefore a master. Etc. It is a useful word. We shouldn't aim to limit the range of expression or accuracy of our words.
It seems like what is getting lost here is that the reason PG&E only charges for usage and not a fixed connection fee is that that's what the state wanted. They wanted heavy users to pay a disproportionate share of costs to encourage lower usage. In fact, they even put in a "climate credit", which is a fixed rebate users get that effectively makes the connection fee be negative.
Truck drivers often drive many thousands of kilometers on a haul, and I don’t mean in a loop. They might have a job to drive from LA to Memphis (almost 3000 kilometers), then they will pick up a load in Memphis and drive it to Miami. It might be many months before they are back in the LA area. Cheaper to sleep in the truck than in a hotel. Plus, time is money. Pull off the road, sleep for 8 hours, wake up and hop back on the road immediately.

Just to add one note, really the biggest issue I have with the oncologist's actions is that they seemed to mindlessly follow a playbook. If x fails, apply y. With very little information gathering, and very little researching on newest therapies. And being a terribly rare cancer, it's likely this was the first time in their career they were even encountering it. But they just went with "approximate to cancer I know, now follow outdated pancreatic cancer playbook".

I pre order board games. I’m looking forward to ISS vanguard and have been doing so for over a year. I wouldn’t do so with video games.

Board games are easier to understand the whole system from early design docs. Video games are more like “wouldn’t it be cool if you could do X”? And sometimes the answer turns out to be “no” when it’s actually implemented, or the actual implementation is just way watered down from your imagination. Backing something like star citizen seems like it’s begging for disappointment.
HN becomes mainstream. It used to be those in the media would hide HN and stop direct linking. But then you cant hide it when decent information are coming out of it. I now have the habit of checking account's date, there has been lots of new account since 2018. My old account was 2010, and even then I waited two years before I registered because I was worry I will dilute down the overall quality. These days people seems to jump straight in.

We used to have very strict rules with jokes and puns, and try to limit it to the bare minimum. But those are on the rise as well.

Politics and Tech. There has never been an era where the two are so intertwined. Our everyday life has become digital. It is hard to ignore Google, Facebook, Amazon or Apple. And just like every aspect of politics, it gets ugly in a hurry. And that is just politics on Tech alone, not politics in general.

And unlike Engineering or Science, where we can discuss to death and get a decent consensus or conclusion. Such thing is rare in politics, especially on an online discussion forums.

Unpopular opinion, balance views and contrarian takes are harder to come by. And because it HN has becomes mainstream, these tends to get squashed and downvoted more than previous era.

If you look at it as a big pile, there will never be "enough". Someone will always have/make more. CEOs are probably more susceptible to "keeping up" than most and executive compensation is out of control as a result.

You are truly rich as long as you make more than you spend and save. That does not need to come with any kind of 7 figure rider attached if you are happy and live within your means.

Put another way, I know people who make 300k a year and feel miserable and poor. I'm sure there are people who have multi-million dollar portfolios who look at real-estate prices in many places and feel poor.

On the other hand, I have relatives who make 50k a year and live happy lives surrounded by great friends and family doing what they love to do.

Who is richer in the end?
Me too. I'm slow and it's stressful.

Hah, that is a great description.

I would agree that more people seem to break the general decorum in the past few years than I’ve seen since I joined in 2013.

I can tell that I’ve become a little more bitter. I’ve been commenting much less, too. Spending time off of Twitter has helped immensely with my mood and quality of social interactions (I used Twitter for a spell back in the 10’s, mostly didn’t use it, then got back on in ‘19). My media diet generally seems to impact my mood to a great degree so by limiting my recreational media to HN + Geminispace + books + music (and TV/movies with family) I am much happier. I still use the Web for tasks, and having to block ads everywhere is a bummer but better than looking at them.

I suspect many other HN users are also subscribed to other forms of social media, like Twitter, that are overstimulating our amygdalas and giving us too much chaos to process while making progress in our own lives. These companies can’t keep growing in engagement without more people spending more time consuming stress-inducing content.

Hopefully the current mental health trend is more than a fad, we will see people start to take care of themselves, and maybe start to swing back the other way. I’m very excited about Gemini, actually, since the format and its current population encourage a calmer consumption experience. I hope more people check it out!
Yeah, I totally get that it works out differently for different people. Maybe I'm just getting old enough that I can smell when I'm looking at something that's gonna become an excuse to spend money, more than anything else ("well now that I have an X, if I just had an Y...")

Right - but this is different that everyone expects it to work. People expect to sell power to the grid when the sun shines, then get the same power from the grid at night and offset them to be net zero cost. It is not sustainable pricing.
Fair enough, that was sloppy terminology of me!
It’s too bad they didn’t share their final costs, there’s very little public info on how much custom builds like this really cost. I think people are a little embarrassed by how much they spent and so they don’t want to reveal it.

> This is true if you're not connected to the grid. However if you use power on those cold winter cloudy days you need all that infrastructure still.

Cold winter days don't represent peak consumption for the grid, there is no capacity being built specifically for cold winter days. In contrast there is capacity being built to offset everyone turning on the A/C during summer heatwaves, and solar has high power output during those periods.

Your argument is specifically called out as being a misuse of the "duck curve" concept.

> Common misconceptions

> One misconception related to the duck curve is that solar photovoltaic power does not help supply peak demand and therefore cannot replace other power plants. For example, in California, solar output is low at 7 pm when daily demand usually peaks.[19] This fact leads some to believe that solar power cannot reduce the need for other power plants, as they will still be needed at 7 pm when solar power output is low. However, California's annual demand peaks usually occur around 3 pm to 5 pm,[20] when solar power output is still substantial.[19] The reason that California's annual peak tends to be earlier than the daily peak is that California's annual peak usually occurs on hot days with large air conditioning loads, which tend to run more during midday.[21] As a result, solar power does in fact help supply peak demand and therefore can substitute for other sources of power.
This is incredible to see all in one place. I’m preaching SQL to my Org. and it’s only getting preachier over the years, as I see new technologies come and go (OLAP, NoSQL and it’s many variations including Hadoop, Azure Cosmos DB).

For an Org. of our size, I’m not sure if these new fads make it any easier. Even if they helped with data streaming, we still are having to move it to a SQL warehouse where we can combine it with other Org. data to answer business questions. Not sure if anyone has built out a fully operational reporting architecture without using SQL on HN. Long live SQL!
