My company operates two Jupiter Power owned LFP batteries in the MISO market. Each of them draws .5 - 2MW constantly for the HVAC system. If the cost for sodium batteries is simila…

Not too long after Parler was kicked off AWS, I was on a call with hundreds of representatives from power utilities about a modeling tool we were transitioning to. It was mentioned…

Actually, it seems like a great time to get involved with the grid (at least in the US). In order to comply with FERC Order 881, all transmission operators need to adjust their lin…

> I suspect most grids are extremely easy to hack I’d expect the opposite. All companies controlling equipment that is part of the “Bulk Electric System” have to be NERC CIP compli…

Same link confirms that only 11% of undergrads are international students.

The era of Twitter/X status pages needs to come to an end given how unusable it is if you aren't logged in.

Cantina Royale’s Tomasa hot sauce (more of a chili oil) is my favorite for eggs or potatoes. It has a nice smoky chili flavor and decent heat level. https://cantinaroyalhotsauce.co…

I'm really curious how this would've looked if he'd taken a mid-range budget approach to vision instead of being able to throw (tens of?) thousands of dollars of industrial motion …

Similar website for those in the US: https://www.gridstatus.io/home Shows fuel mix, load, and price data for all of the ISOs. It's been really exciting to watch lately because you …

I have a Google Photos album (shared with a few close family members) that automatically adds photos of my daughter and syncs them with the Aura frames her grandparents have. We've…

You're dead on about rigid mounts for the pedals. One of the first issues many sim racers run into with regular cheap pedals and a desk mounted wheel is that they pedals slide once…

This is the route I wish Apple had taken with the Mac Pro.

I highly recommend the Dell UltraSharp U4919, of which I currently have four (two at home and two at work). Almost my entire department switch to them as soon as they came out. My …

I really love the concept of NEVs but the speed is just a bit too limited to be useful for me. Almost every place I go regularly (work, grocery store, etc.) requires that I briefly…

Many products are released on a yearly basis, but very few people are upgrading every year.

Worth considering in many places (especially due to the additional hassle of having a car in some cities) but not viable in others, at least without considerable hardship.

I used to use this feature all the time when I was in school. When I lived in the dorms they limited our external connection speed to 8Mbps but all of the department servers I had …

The difference is that cocaine use is only really harmful to the user whereas murder obviously involves a third party. You also have to consider the impact of the policies themselv…

That was the point. Despite London being a much larger population center with much higher cost of living, engineers are still paid more in Detroit.

You sure? I just did a quick search for EE salaries in London[1] compared to Detroit[2] (the closest large city to me) and Detroit comes out ahead by a lot. And I'm sure rent is ch…

The time scales it operates in are usually quite a bit larger than systems that would typically be discussed here, but I don't see how "online" would be a descriptor than "real-tim…

And Isle Royale which is currently closed for the winter. The park is free to enter two days a season but that wouldn't include the $136 ferry ticket (unless you take your own boat…

I used to order candy boxes occasionally when I was in college. My weekly food "budget" was $80-$120, so spending $30 a month on candy just meant skipping takeout a few times.

This was my experience throughout my K-12 education and I graduated in 2010. Every time I was sick or injured the nurse was at different school, so they'd just send me home. The on…

I'm currently teaching an electronics class and have used this site heavily for in-class demonstrations. Some of the concepts (like a Push-Pull amplifier) are much easier to unders…
