Central timezone, actually. Perth is not part of the NEM, and pretty sure the plan for this is coming out of the Northern Territory

From a competitive point of view, yes. The conversion hardware is common in both cases, the difference is one side needs more storage than the other. As others have stated, with the propagation of EV voltage conversion equipment, that'

Yes, but will it wipe out the advantage of solar by adding cost to the generation capacity? As I said, batteries still aren't cheap, and their replacement lifetime is still not good. We could rely on future technology, but is that a so

I keep seeing stuff about the viability of the cable being laid. The thing that gets me though, is the timezone shift around peak solar generation is the wrong way around. In Australia at least, peak demand is in the evening, when people ge

Note that he says estimate of human survival. It could well be lower. Also some people are going to have lower thresholds than others.

The premise is contingent that all mosquitoes are bad. Turns out there are non blood sucking mosquitos that are eaten by other things, as explained in the article. So basically: blood suckers, yes, other mosquitoes no.

These are starting to catch on, as someone else said Heat Exchanger, but that's a more general concept and this is the thing you'd actually want https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_recovery_ventilation

Would definitely be interested to hear how he got in this mental state. It's a matter of frustrating and predictable reality that people who are poor and non-influential easily end up in a suicidal spiral. The same cannot be easily sai

I think you should have put (2015) in the title to give this even more context, because there's probably a lot of people thinking, oh this article is probably from after SARS-CoV-2 got out.

I'm going to guess Paul Graham, who wrote the tweet. One of the founders of YCombinator and HN (just in case people who read this don't know).

40 acres. 16 hectares. A 400m x 400m block (equivalent). Not sure that's really enough for a city. A very small town perhaps. The big thing here, is that it's a way for Corporations to basically not be bound by all the laws of the

When you have the population density and city pollution levels they have in big Indian cities, I don't blame them for trying to discourage the use of petrol. Even if you don't believe in climate change, there's real haze over

If we read into this article as pushing an agenda, then the agenda is probably written here. https://blogs.imf.org/2019/02/05/cashing-in-how-to-make-nega...

My own thinking around this is quite simple. We want to keep secrets from people who are sufficiently close in our social circles so that the consequences of them knowing and spreading it to the people with the most obvious power over our l

What is this impaired glucose metabolism you refer to? What are it's causes?

They'd probably respond "But what about that big f off dish transmitting brain control waves" completely oblivious to the fact it is receive only.

Interesting idea. I find that it's pretty hard to modify the end of a password though, I'm likely to press enter rather than add anything else. Probably a good idea to change the first character, so you have the rest of the passwo

Because evolution doesn't work to produce good solutions, just good enough ones. For example, your body works out it is in a low oxygen environment by sensing an elevated amount of carbon dioxide, not measuring oxygen levels. As such,

Interesting point. I guess it's confirmation bias. Say something people want to believe about themselves, and the rest follows.

Interesting perspective, and one I imagine will have a lot of criticism. Honestly I find the perspective too interesting to start picking holes in it. I do wonder how many criticisms will come from idealised notions of intellectualism. Whic

Why did they fail to communicate anything? What a good way to destroy trust. I'm now observing one channel who previously supported lee, and am curious if the stance will change, now that they have to jump through hoops to get their ch

Can mining cards be used for something other than crypto mining? eg rendering? Could they still be used in VMs and then route virtual display outputs via network?
