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 th…

Sure, but that how many is a critical factor in the overall cost of energy delivered

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 goo…

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 Austr…

We've already got Identify and Disrupt, what do they want next?

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: bl…

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/Energ…

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…

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…

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).

> People still give a shit about this title thing? I mean, yes. That's pretty much the case anywhere, I don't see how China is an exception. Especially anywhere where there's a lot…

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 Corporation…

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 beli…

Opportunities for young people have been getting worse perhaps?

This was addressed by your parent post > There are other things that are important aside from customer purchasing power.

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 sprea…

Oh so basically somewhere between normal and type 2 diabeties

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 f…

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…
