I created a space for people to make connections and learn from each other. I call it Grok.Town and plan to start up a Lemmy instance at that domain, but for now it's a space on Matrix with a few rooms to chat and get to know one another. Check it out @ https://matrix.to/#/#groktown:matrix.org

  • You're Being Lied To. The EV Market Hasn't 'Stalled'

    Jump

  • Absolutely. Not enough people know people who have experience with EVs. Toyota and Honda built their reputation over decades.And for most people, it really doesn't make a lot of sense to get an EV if they just see it as transportation.

  • You're Being Lied To. The EV Market Hasn't 'Stalled'

    Jump

  • Yup. In the current market, EVs are for people living in single family homes in the suburbs and commute a significant distance daily or people who want to spend money on a status symbol.

  • People want communities. They want healthy communities. Protectionism can facilitate healthy communities.

    Innovation at all costs is not what society in general wants. This is abundantly clear throughout history and modern society.

  • Correct, unlike that.

    Worse than that, actually.

  • You're probably cheering on the outsourcing of techworkers too, right? Who cares about the safety of the people building the things we want to buy cheaply, right?

    Protectionism can go too far and often does, but it isn't unnecessary for healthy societies. Free, unregulated trade isn't always the right answer.

  • If people in townhomes, condos, and apartments can conveniently charge while sleeping, they'll switch eventually if it saves them money.

  • More expensive upfront, negating all of the benefit of lower power costs for years. And huge expense on the horizon with an uncertain timing for battery replacement that negates secondary market value at some point.

  • harness it,

    Getting more efficient and cost effective at a rapid pace. Still some environmental concerns over manufacturing, raw materials acquisition, and disposal of old equipment.

    store it,

    Getting more efficient and cost effective at a less rapid pace. Still significant environmental concerns over manufacturing, raw materials acquisition, and disposal of old equipment.

    then distribute it.

    Lots of effort and resources needed for this part. Need to subsidize consumer appliance conversion better.

  • When Scientific Citations Go Rogue: Uncovering ‘Sneaked References’

    Jump

  • Citation count has been and continues to be the defacto measure of research importance.

  • This type of analysis and process needs to be carried out before I, an I assume others, will be comfortable participating.

  • Capturing CO2 With Copper, Scientists Generate 'Green Methane'

    Jump

  • We don't need Shell to install solar arrays. Thinking that the companies that are causing the problem will fix it for us is what will delay indefinitely any solution. Being able to synthesize methane or not has no influence on whether or not a carbon tax is appropriate. Greenhouse gass emission taxes are appropriate under either circumstance.

  • Capturing CO2 With Copper, Scientists Generate 'Green Methane'

    Jump

  • If it can't be cost effective it won't happen. It won't slow down solar or other green house gas emission neutral options. I'm not rooting for that scenario.

  • Capturing CO2 With Copper, Scientists Generate 'Green Methane'

    Jump

  • If it can be done cheaper this way than extracted via drilling (fracking) wells, then it's a pure win because it will displace the activity that increases CO2 and the vast majority of Methane leaks while the transition to other technologies occurs. It would be a tremendous benefit in terms of eliminating the acceleration of greenhouse effects.

  • This project utilised 50 ACT government-owned Nissan LEAF electric vehicles and chargers across Canberra.

    the results also highlight the need to be smarter about how all electric vehicles charge, especially during such emergencies.

    In February, once the vehicles had discharged power for ten minutes, nine vehicles started charging. This is because their default behaviour is to charge when their batteries are below a certain level. It’s the last thing the power system needs while trying to stabilise.

    The six vehicles that switched to an idle state after ten minutes must have still had enough energy in their batteries. That one vehicle kept discharging for ten more minutes was due to a software bug. What’s more, when we looked at data from other ACT government vehicles parked in these properties, we found 23 were charging throughout the event. Again this directly obstructs power system recovery.

    There would have been absolutely no inconvenience or cost for the vehicles to delay charging for an hour or two.

    electric hot water heaters could also make a big contribution without causing inconvenience.

    This is great for short term outages, but they aren't considering multi-day outages. I lost power in NJ for 11 and 13 days on separate occasions in one year. I wouldn't want my vehicle to be drained of energy as an event like those started. But shutting off hot water heaters is a pure win.

    Also, has anyone figured out good uses for old wind turbine blades? Seems that the current popular solution is to bury them.

  • There was a whole season of The Wire that was dedicated to the theme of news publications demanding that more be done with less as budgets were cut. Craigslist was a major factor in the trend as it cut revenue severely for local publications.

  • The biggest thing that PieFed has done is get up and running on public data with new accounts open to the public. This trial by fire will make it fail fast or become much improved. It seems that the main developer is quite experienced and has thought about architecture and improvements that have already been implemented. I think it's promising for all of these reasons.

    My biggest potential concern is that moderation tools have not been implimented yet (unless the were very recently).

    As far as Python being difficult in larger systems, this can be mitigated by experience and good practice. But I tend to agree that Python is typically not the ideal choice for a large project.
