  • There are two main inverter approaches. One big inverter that takes the DC from a bunch of panels and converts it into AC and micro inverters where each panel gets it's own small one placed directly under the panel.

    The micro inverters cost around $150 each. So you need around 10 panels before the single inverter becomes a good choice.

    Installers love the micro because the install is easier. However as a owner with say 30 panels you now have 30 points of possible failure instead of the 1.

  • It's either a signal filter or more likely a power stabilizer to handle fast load spikes when the device suddenly changes power usage levels.

    I've learned the hard way that every ttl chip gets it's own cap between vcc and ground.

  • For my state congressman during the primaries a guy knocked on my door and was ruining in the Democratic primary. Young guy who claimed progressive values. Creepy vibe.

    I looked him up after and he had a failed bid as a republican congressman one state over. Republicans are trying to sneak in their own into democratic primaries and it's working.

  • I'll do the occasional 72 hour fast. A 24 hour fast once a month. These days I change the 72 hour to a 48 hour then blood test every hour or two until I see a blood sugar rise. That's when the body starts to cannibalize muscle tissue so I stop.

  • So yeah the bird was me. But back in the day there was linux with a bunch of config files and windows with the registry.

    It could be a pain to deal with config files but it was nowhere near as bad a dealing with the gigantic mess that was the windows registry. So someone trying to move linux away from one of the things that made it better then windows to a windows like system seemed like a horrible idea.

    Combine that with the main systemd guy coming off as a bit of a jerk online and the resistance is understandable.

  • One grandmother died the day before her 102nd birthday.

  • I was in a swing district that had been republican. A conservative democrat took the seat for two terms. Then my are got packed into a democratic strong hold.

    I now have one of the most progressive representatives in the house. I like him a lot better then my old rep but would rather have the 2 democratic votes in the house like before.

  • I was so pleasantly suprised by how good Prodigy season 1 was. Session 2 was meh...

  • Nope patents protect replication and use. Doesn't matter if it's sold, given away, or used internally by a company.

  • Garland was a republican and a compromise supreme court pick. The hope was republicans would hedge their bets and confirm him. Getting a guaranteed pick they liked in place of a possible Trump pick.

    After Trump won Democrats should have dropped Garland like a ton of bricks. Instead they did what they usually do and went all on one their failed compromises position after Republicans failed to compromise.

  • The everybody is a perfect logician part means no one gets it wrong and no one make a guess.

    They also don't say the color of their eyes when they leave. They can just use logic to figure it out.

    There are some other problems with this versions wording though. Usually you need to specify that the speaker doesn't lie.

  • Fun trivia. It's called a second because it's the second division of an hour after minutes. You can keep going with thirds and fourths for sub second time.

  • Yup he was big on killing the advanced us nuclear power program during the clinton admin. Just because the republicans were pro nuclear. That did more damage to our carbon footprint than any good that came from the IRA.

  • Human speech has a fairly consistent information density. It's right about what the human brain can comfortably process.

    Languages that sound fast and rapid fire have more sounds per information on average. So it's less that some cultures speak quickly and more that the speed of that language for normal human information exchange.

  • I held my nose and voted for her. She would have been so much better then Trump but she was still a bad candidate.

    Critiquing the unpopular policies she ran under and lost with might help the Democratic party get it's shit together next time.

  • As an engineer you learn to be very careful about what you say to non engineers.

    A trivial example.

    What if we make change x?

    It'll make some things harder and some things easier.

    One week later.

    Why are you having problems? You said doing x would make things easier.

    More complicated example.

    Can this be used for real time control?

    Define real time.

    Just answer the question.

    I can't it's a bad question. I need to know what you are trying to control.

  • Cells make too many of them to not have a purpose. There is a large energy cost to manufacturing 10k-100k per cell. That's enough for selection to remove them if they were useless.

    What's probably going on is they have an important but uncommon purpose. Like a fire extinguisher. They are in most buildings but a lot of people will never see a situation where one is needed.

  • In this case the class action would be youtubers and other content creators not users of Honey.
