In utility scale solar tesla product is vapor ware or under development to the point a 50 MW project is having major difficulties

The electric motor is not 100% efficient so some heat must be available for cabin. Large synchronous generators are 97% efficient not sure about 100 kw e vehicle Motors

Whistler Victoria is about that long too

My time series are from PLC in hydro electric power stations. Usually about 1000 series per turbine and another 1000 for general plant or river stuff. So it is just timestamp and bool, 16 or 32 bit u/int, or 32 bit float. Will just use grafana as front end. Seems to replace industry heavyweight offerings such as Osisoft Pi.

Did you consider Victoria metrics at all? It is based on clickhouse design. I am considering it for time series type historian so different Application but I think it could work where clickhouse works too.

Victoria metrics can store data at local node and forward to central when network is functioning

If the expense of the solar panels is not Bourne by the beneficiary of the increased water supply then there was no incentive other than the solar power.

Mobile device management (MDM)

A side effect of having so many calls for drug users in distress is that those services aren’t available to immediately respond to other types of medical emergencies that are life threatening, such as a heart attack for example.

I agree the reserve mechanisms provide the incentive to pay generators to exist with an entire gas turbine, generator, switchgear, operations staff, health and safety staff, maintenance staff, transformer, interconnection, land, environmental permits, hr and accounting departments to be “available” but not generate except in the time that renewables can’t. The only difference in cost for the plant to exist and not run but be ready and to run is the cost of the fuel.

So we still have to pay for dispatchable generation if we want to have power on a calm cloudy day week. We can add that cost to the cost of the storage and overbuilding of capacity that allows solar or wind to deliver rated power overnight. Or live with blackouts

How do you make it worthwhile for someone to have a natural gas peaker plant ready to run at any time for only 1% of hours in a year? Where does that cost figure in the tradeoff between renewables + batteries vs nuclear?

What stocks are you buying and how much of your retirement fund are you betting?

Has a government never prevented a merger that would have created a monopoly?

Maybe that’s why the wrong version of one note opened the other day and I had to go hunting for onenote 2010

I still use office 2010. They are deprecating it how?

30 year fixed rate mortgages aren’t available in Canada. Most have the interest rate adjusted every 3-5 years

Some industrial equipment requires flash or Java for the web based configuration UI. Even Ethernet switches

It’s a huge pain to find the right version of browser, Java, flash, to be able to change a setting

Canadian research of returning diplomats and their families found it was likely due to aggressive spraying of pesticides for mosquitos due to Zika virus concern

I need a laser printer that prints 11x17

Any suggestions ?

Which is great until the users blame the tool because they can’t finish their work

Nothing would ever happen if there wasn’t a deadline

Then what?

If they become worth zero do you not have a capital loss to deduct from future income? So you would gradually recover the tax paid when you got the now worthless shares in the form of future taxes you don’t have to pay.

Only if all taxpayers get an equal settlement. And even then perhaps that money would have been spent on another group: “sorry no fighter jets this year money went privacy lawsuits”. So some taxpayers could come out ahead in the event of privacy lawsuits.

Isn’t it pretty stabdars to make 100k plus as a plumber ?

Has demand risen faster than supply?

I’m not surprised Spokane real estate market popped. Expect that in every small town surrounded by beautiful mountains …

Excel is still pretty good

Influx Db, Victoria metrics, clickhouse, some postgres add ons?

Interesting they are using tsdb for storing the time series. I thought it was out of favor and fashion. Clearly it is serviceable.
