Another interesting element is AQI data. Right now, I'm pulling hourly data from the major AirNow stations in the US. Getting more detailed data would be interesting, especially outside the US. PurpleAir is one data source I'm loo

https://porchweather.com/ - free app for notifying you when the weather is right for opening your windows. The idea is to save you a few bucks on using air conditioning as well as simply enjoying some fresh air. Tracks temp

I've been working on a website that tells you when it's time to open or close the windows. You register with a location, your preferred method of notification, and the rules for what you consider open-windows weather to be. Range

Well voyager depended on a solar system alignment that only happens every 175 years(?) so it'd be a while before we get that same advantage again. The longer it takes the further of a head start voyager gets?

What would change if you wanted to do something like this but for an EV? You already have a large battery, you can make decisions like "I need to be full for my road trip tomorrow, so fill from the grid", but you can just trickle

Rooftop solar doesn't require additional land to be purchased, reduces the need for more transmission lines, and reduces transmission losses. I don't know how big these all are but it seems plausible they make it a better deal tha

Very well put together. If you are curious about the weighted version, I tried to explain it some here: https://gregable.com/2007/10/reservoir-sampling.html There's also a distributed version, easy with a map

I worked on AMP and AMP email for a while at Google, but these are just my thoughts. HN always pulled out the pitchforks on this topic, I'm not surprised to see the same again. I disagree with a number of things this article claims: &g

So in the limit, buying POW coins is using that money to consume energy. Selling the coins is taking that money away from energy consumption.

It slips both ways though. I suspect banning incandescent bulbs is probably a good change, even though there were people who obviously wanted them.

I sometimes am not clear on what the goal is. The article seems to argue that the goal is very narrowly to reduce the amount of plastic bags created/consumed and then claims a study shows that the bans do indeed achieve that goal. It&#

I think the suggestion is that it's a battery with low long term storage costs, not that it's 100% efficient round trip.
