The first reference (for the definition) also links directly to a blog post created by OP. Edit: Actually 4 of the references on that wiki page link to either OPs blog, YouTube, or projects. I can see why this article was declined, however

While this has clearly been written by / with help from an LLM, the general info is correct and matches what I have heard from those suppliers (although $0.21/W future pricing is far higher than the estimates I've seen)

> The prices are still dropping per watt. FYI if you look into what has happened in the wholesale solar market since the end of 2025, this is no longer true. Prices are now 20% higher than they were in Nov/Dec, and were even higher

You could try fermented drinks like Kefir or Kombucha? Otherwise I quite enjoy sparkling water with some enhancements like lime, or cucumber mint flavour drops

Thanks for the NZ link - just bought that bell as that's a pretty reasonable price & includes free shipping :)

This comment gives astroturfing vibes, like an LLM optimised version of masonhensley's comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47587834

The entire country of New Zealand would disagree with you there - air heat pumps are our primary source of heating.

> Reddit is not centered on user profiles and followers and yet This is not entirely correct anymore, many of the new features added to Reddit over the last 5 years have focussed on expanding precisely this aspect of the site.

Not sure where that 150ml came from - our metric country (New Zealand) 1 cup is 250 ml.

That split can also be recognised by the change in naming- social networks vs social media.

I've been using Mylio on my laptop which might suit you? My main requirement was that I organise photos using my file structure for maximum portability, and this works well with that.

That's not the only version control through - if you use Excel connected to Onedrive or Sharepoint (like most major orgs in my country), then you have version history built-in tracking every edit going back months.

It be worth looking up the I-V curves of solar modules on a datasheet - a key factor is that the maximum power point of a solar module (for a given set of environmental conditions) is really dependent on the voltage that it is running at (w

> A solar panel's VoC should be its maximum possible output in ideal conditions (open circuit) I think this is where the confusion arises - what do you mean by ideal conditions? Ideal conditions for solar generation are not necessar

This is information is generally stated on the module datasheets, which specify the Open Circuit Voltage (V_OC) at Standard Test Conditions (STC), and then provide a temperature coefficient for how that voltage changes with temperature. &#x

by Chilko 1y ago
But that's not true - V_OC for PV modules is nearly always spec'd at STC or NOCT, which is clearly stated on module datasheets along with the temperature coefficient of that voltage. E.g. choosing a random Jinko datasheet: https:

As an outside observer of US culture I disagree, the normalisation and glorification of violence has always seemed to be a distinctly American value to me.

This really depends on the pricing mechanisms & contracts that large industrial users have with their energy provider. Many users may contract out of wholesale spot prices in favour for a more predictable contracted price - and demand r

That sentence structure of the first example ('subject, long tangent, conclusion') is very common in the German language (and a major annoyance for me when reading German), so perhaps the author has that background?

It's crazy to me how different it is across the Tasman - in NZ you can get 2 or 4 Gbps symmetrical for $150-180/m NZD in major cities.

I get where you're coming from, but let me correct some of your numbers for other readers: > you replace bricks every couple hundred years, but solar panels every 10–20, right? Old panels perhaps, but modern solar panels come with p

Thanks for the work you've done with ShadeMap - I used this extensively when I we were looking for somewhere to rent, as living in hilly city some areas lose the sun quite quickly. Happy to say we are now living in a place that gets pl
