I don't know enough about importing capacity in that other grid since they're hooked up to the western half supposedly but I agree with your points. TX being hooked up to the rest of the US could have saved them and this other re

Texas had blackouts due to extreme cold as recently as 2011. The findings from the investigation after that event were ignored and we are now seeing a repeat of it exactly 10 years later. It has not worked "just fine" for decade

The regional grid above TX is also instituting rolling blackouts due to this weather.

The latter. They do not want federal regulation. For the pedantic TX does have connections to other grids but the capacity is so low that it wouldn't have mitigated this event and is under whatever threshold is set for federal oversig

As a programmer in state government this approach is not feasible for many reasons the chief of which is that at almost every level of government we lack technocrats. In the very unlikely event that one is appointed or hired that has Audre

I failed my interview with Amazon and I blame them. They tried to rush me to an onsite after passing my online coding assessment. 4 different recruiters were in contact with me about the same position. Review materials were sent 5 days b

PG&E is a monopoly. In the vast majority of cases you can't shop around for electricity or gas service, the only alternative is to go without electricity and/or gas service. In the event that a competitor tries to enter the

You can, they're just not marketed to consumers. Search electronics retailers like B&H, Newegg, etc for "commercial displays" or "digital signage" and you'll see a lot of familiar looking units that don&#x

One big thing that's changed since you graduated is that the program is going to Python as its language of choice starting this fall. C will only be taught in one or two classes. IMO this is a mistake but one rationale coming down fr

Pine Street Market in Portland is a lot like what you envision. In typically Portland fashion it is a little on the fancy side and priced somewhere between fast food and pub fare but still reasonable in my book. Food cart culture in PDX s

This may sound ridiculous but what I really want to try is an Almost Impossible burger. The flavor and texture of a regular Impossible burg was a bit off from a regular burger but still tasty and close to an all beef experience. I wonder

Coastal cities have other advantages too. Better weather, favorable access to trade, better access to travel. Software could arguably be made anywhere but that severely discounts the importance of face to face communication. It's &q

Exactly. The article doesn't expand on this point but this is capable of charging multiple vehicles in motion. More charging points at stations, shopping centers, etc would still require people to stop and wait.
