The real long term idea with smart metering isn't so much demand savings (though I think it was billed as that; and I agree the results are very underwhelming from everything I've seen), it's to start allowing dynamic energy tariffs and getting people incentivized to move load to cheaper times.

We have some of them in the UK and you can see the price differences quite clearly: https://agileprices.co.uk/

I think the idea of having one (or maybe a crude day/night) tariff is really antiquated now when wholesale prices swing so much because of renewables. We are getting to a place where electricity is going to be free/negative a lot of the time and very much more expensive for other time slots.

However, I don't know how much consumers can do about this apart from buying batteries (which is a good thing). I don't think many people will start eating their dinner 3 hours earlier or later or do washing in the middle of the night to save a few dollars here and there. I suppose AC/heating would use enough that it would be worth turning it down at certain times of day.

Really where all the money to be made here is being able to get cheap industrial processes that consumer a load of electricity that can be switched on and off, so only working 25% of the time. This is hard though because there is a lot of capex (and opex) to having equipment and people sitting around doing nothing when the price is too high. But I think the energy savings will be so great there will be something that comes along for this - potentially hydrogen electrolysis.
While trying to skim the data, I kept wishing for a 3D or pseudo-3D "skyscraper" visualization, where height represents consumption.
Off-grid does not mean renewable-only.

You can run a generator to charge batteries or provide additional capacity when needed.

It would be ideal to have full coverage with "renewables" (isn't oil and gas a renewable just on a longer timeline?) but don't let perfect be the enemy of good if you want to move off-grid.

One step we have taken is to build an auth system that requires you as the developer to explicitly specify the security of an endpoint using a decorator. If no decorator is provided, then the endpoint is completely locked down even to admins (effectively disabled).

If an endpoint is decorated with something that is considered dangerous (i.e. public access), that triggers additional review steps. In addition, the authentication forbids certain combinations of decorators and access patterns.

It's not perfect, but it has saved us a few times from securing endpoints incorrectly in code.
> Absolutely and categorically it is not. That is complete nonsense. Why should an employee care?

They don't have to care, they are just there to do a job. If your company values a release now more than a more stable one later, it's not on you to refuse to do that.
Few notes:

- fear and polemics about connected meters was not about "surveillance" by some giant but more about ability to disconnect or throttle a customer from remote and third party monitoring to elicit family habits for instance to organize a burglary;

- reading the meter without the need to get inside the home was already a solved problem with "telereport", a small local dedicated bus with wires going in some public places (like the hall of a condo, a small box near the portal of a home etc) who allow local reading, this could be used to send data remotely WITHOUT adding extra abilities like throttling or disconnecting;

- polemics exists for similar reasons for IVRE norms (BEV domestic charging) where the norms demand a kind of "remote control" to allow disconnecting the load from the grid when needed by the grid, without considering the few but not so few with domestic p.v. in self consumption that might get disconnected as well because there is no analysis of the grid absorption load just a "run this if the grid is strained";

- `Enedis website is nice` is well... debatable...

Beside this small notes NOT intended to diminish the author creation, IMVHO monitoring is useful only if you can act, for instance with p.v. and controllable appliances it's a good thing, and unfortunately there is next to none appliance really designed to run on p.v. when available, even 99% of those who claim the contrary. The first are domestic water heaters who actually could be piloted to shift load with HA/Shelly/* sometimes just abruptly cutting the power and giving it back when there is enough p.v. but not much more, secondary running dishwashers and washing machines left loaded and ready in a "run before 'given date and time' preferably on p.v. power" and so on. Technically such automation are damn simple and cheap if designed as part of every appliance but so far next to no one seems to be doing so, while mandatory monitoring and published monitoring solutions are more and more pushed. Personally having p.v. I do my best to shift loads and it's damn hard, mostly limited to smart switches connected to HA, because there is not much more to do. I can "hack" my dishwasher or washing machines, are dumb and basic enough to be easy just seeing their small controls and replicate them with a some GPIO on a raspizero and alike but that's a long uncomfy process since every machines have it's own controls and you have to redo when you change it. There is no standard.

It's a common problem. On a previous job, I'd found one unauthenticated endpoint just because I want to add some integration tests on it and my tests failed! After that, I'd created a script which lists all endpoints and curl each one with invalid credentials and expecting them to return 401.

Not quite every socket, but iotawatt can monitor each circuit at the breaker panel, and from there, it's generally not too hard to figure out what's going on, and it's really nice to be able to get a concrete sense of where your electricity is going (for most people with a heat pump, it's mostly the heat pump, it swamps even our EV). It's local-only, no cloudiness, and it's been rock-solid for us.

Yeah... That requires a standard way to communicate the energy price to the fridge. You won't get that with municipal regulation.

> it would show humans at the time had the capacity for abstract thinking

This was 50,000 years ago, they were Homo Sapiens, we are 200,000 years old. We can see abstract thinking through the advancement of our early tools and through linguistic studies that trace lineage of abstract language patterns to points in time using archeological knowledge of migration periods. So this confirms it further I guess.

Wow some of these practices were in place in the Netherlands in the 50s when the country was still very traditional (also, women in a government job were forced to resign when they married) but I'm so glad they are no longer the case. Like not being allowed to live together without being married.

And of course now the whole gender thing is not as black and white anymore anyway. E.g. gender neutral toilets, there's no longer just 2 categories. So this kind of thing wouldn't make sense anymore.

I have many colleagues in India and especially the ones from rural areas are experiencing extreme pressure from their families to get married in their early 20s. If they don't hurry up finding a partner their families find one for them, and if they refuse they get discommunicated completely.

I find it really sad because most of them are living modern lives in Bangalore. They seem a bit torn between two worlds, one really modern like ours (Bangalore) and one very traditional where they come from. I know several of them have partners without their families knowing, and they drink and party also without them knowing etc. One of them did tell her parents about her partner and wanted to marry him but her parents objected because he was not from the 'correct' caste (they didn't even meet him). It seems to be a country deeply struggling with this transition and forcing young people into a way of life they don't want.

I'm really happy I didn't have to deal with that when I was young and I could explore the world as I pleased. I'm in my late 40s now and never got married (though I did have one very long-term relationship). Personally I strongly believe in the right of the individual to live their life as they choose free from social pressures.
Precisely. They usually come to you with misbelief and intentional miscomprehension. I don’t think it is worth convincing someone of the truth if they insist on finding a way to believe a falsehood. Let them believe.

Getting ready for a machine learning interview at a big tech company or startup? It can feel overwhelming with all the different rounds, from testing your broad knowledge to diving deep into specific problems, system design, and coding challenges.

That’s why I’m writing this article – to share the resources that helped me, so you don’t have to struggle through the similar confusion and can confidently navigate your Machine Learning interviews.

Exhaustive data has nerd appeal, but in practice, you'd add power, circuitry, and RF noise overhead to mostly see signals that maintain very stable patterns for as long as the same thing is plugged into it and used in mostly the same way (i.e. for months or years).

All you really need is snapshot understanding of what a device really consumes, and only then if it's non-negligible and some alternative might make sense.

For outlets and receptacles, you can achieve that by just inserting a meter where you want. Per-circuit metering in the distribution/circuit breaker panel would be nice though.

That’s what they rolled out with them, but insufficient change to habits.

> I suppose AC/heating would use enough that it would be worth turning it down at certain times of day.

This is generally the big win, and why they’ve had to still create a program to subsidize smart thermostats and payments to enable the back off features.

Mass installing smart meters to incentivize the public at large to buy+install smarter thermostats is a less effective and more expensive strategy than giving the thermostats away and writing users a guaranteed cheque in exchange for remotely controlling it.

(There are other dynamics at play: electricity here is generally cheap and I pay more in fixed charges than consumption and the heating side is almost universally fossil fuel/wood but that’s achangin)
That’s the goal though. Eliminate everyone competent and then leave the gutted institutions for the next series of Presidents to deal with.

Anvil | Developer Advocate | Cambridge, UK | ONSITE, VISA | Full-time/part-time/flexible | https://anvil.works/jobs

We make an open-source web framework, an online code editor, a GUI builder, and a PaaS hosting platform. Together, you can build and host a full-stack web application - and all you need is a little Python. (Yes, even the client-side code - we compile Python to JS and provide a GUI framework!)

We’re looking for developers with great communication skills, to show people how to build awesome things with Anvil. You’ll be building example apps; writing how-to guides, blog posts and tutorials; presenting Anvil at conferences; and helping our users – from individual developers to huge tech companies – build their applications. And then you’ll help us work out how to improve Anvil for them.

It's rewarding work – developers love being introduced to Anvil (our stand is always crowded[0] at conferences!). Plus, there are all the advantages of a small startup: lots of autonomy and huge impact. You'll be working directly with the founders as well as some seriously talented colleagues.

We're bootstrapped and profitable, with customers ranging from tiny (one-person startups) to enormous (HSBC, Bayer, Deloitte, etc). For a full job description, to hear what it's like working here, and to apply, go to https://anvil.works/jobs.

We work hybrid (in the office Tue-Thu, wherever you like Mon/Fri), and we're not looking for fully-remote colleagues right now, but we can sponsor your UK visa. If you have questions, I'm a founder and my email's in my profile.
