I think Renewables (especially solar) tend to be fairly easy to cutail (stop generating) and can probably avoid generating much during negative prices. I'd guess the negative price…

Gas plants can't really change how much they are generating in seconds. What they actually do is use the inertia of the spinning machinery, when the grid frequency drops (which is …

There are a few active in the US already (though it does look like the US is lagging) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HVDC_projects

I like that analogy. Batteries are kind of the RAM/cache in the system: - Big merchant batteries like Hornsdale are kind of like more distant ram RAM - Batteries co-located with re…

The nice thing is as long as these markets stay reasonably competitive, economics can figure out what to do with excess renewables. When renewables are in excess, the spot (instant…

Glad to see this finally happening. This goal was definitely part of the appeal when I was working on the Autobidder team at Tesla! The regulations have some work to do catch up to…

Sorry it took me a few days to see this. Right now we have trust per person, and a separate "preference" by topic. Our end goal is to do trust per person per topic.

Sift ( https://sift.quest/ ) is working hard on doing exactly that. We don't have enough users to actually show it off yet, but at our core we're building around a user reputation/…

We don't have a community yet, but sift ( https://sift.quest/ ) is aiming to be a comprehensive alternative. We've got some new ideas around dealing with cross posts: * posts can h…

Thanks the feedback! * Yes, we are working on comments sections for posts. Hoping to deploy this week. * Usernames on posts are coming soon. They interact a bit with some things we…

We're still pretty alpha, but Sift is aiming to hit what you are looking for https://sift.quest/about We ended up launching sooner than we really planned after a reddit post last f…

Light actually has momentum but not mass. Calling it effective mass isn't far off, but sometimes my pedantic physicist kicks in.

Writing the 100 page thesis is not the hard work part of a PhD. Doing the research to have the results to write that thesis is the hard work. Unless you are uncommonly lucky, you w…

I use spacemacs and want to play with the vim part more, but I type dvorak, so I wanted to do a similar remapping and remap hjkl to htns so I would also be curious to hear if anyon…

Bayesian Logical Data Analysis for physical scientists by Phil Gregory is pretty good, particularly if you are some kind of scientist. source: I TA'd a course in Data analysis, pri…

Looks like pypy for python 3 is back on track. This ameliorates one of my concerns about migrating to python 3 since I think/hope that pypy is going to be an important part of futu…

I have been thinking about building something to implement something fairly similar to what you described there. If you want to chat more, my email is in my profile.

The work is being done by my labmates, so I can answer questions. The killer application here is color e-ink displays, since these structures are purely reflective, they should let…

HuffPo definitely has original reporters, my friend is one of them: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/betsy-isaacson/ She writes good articles for the general public about tech in gene…

Yes, we do have some pretty good theories for designing metamaterials. From what I can remember (and quickly look up on the net), one of the leading theories is called transformati…

Yes, I would be more likely to play in Python, though I guess I do need to bite the bullet and learn javascript at some point. If you can integrate haste or fay and let people play…

You might also think about putting it on the arXiv (arxiv.org). I think they take articles that haven't been submitted to journals, and it is a bit of a recognized source of articl…

Awesome!. As a, alibet very small, mailgun customer, I am happy to see them pushing a big chunk of their code open source.
