Where waste of any type matters (Lean, Toyota).

Pity about Toyota's code, which we know to be trash after the code reviews (not NASA's worthless one, but the good one from the Barr Group) revealed that they not only don't follow industry best practices, they don't even follow their own documented guidelines.

Those with a Tesla solar+storage system and a VPP contract will be getting paid for providing this service and for the energy they provide to the grid. That means "the people" will be footing the bill in some manner, they don't get a VPP for nothing.

That is of course a typically worthless and therefore on-brand take, since I was obviously talking about its creation, and we always have to pay for power.

Comment Re:So Android, then (Score 1) 24

I am sympathetic to both the just-want-it-to-work view and the want-to-customize-all-the-things view.

I just built new kernels for my Devuan systems (one on daedalus, the other on excalibur) so clearly I like to customize. But I would rather have someone else do it and I'm only doing it because even excalibur's kernel is too old to have the features I want at the moment. I had a boot error with Debian which I couldn't conveniently troubleshoot because of systemd, which is the only reason I even installed Devuan. Working early boot logging, what a concept.

I don't see any reason you couldn't make deep system changes on a system with an A/B setup though, and in fact it should make it less risky to do so.

Maybe you could even set up an A/B/C system... where C was testing

the takeaway: many states do enforce such prohibitions. some really, really don't.

They do recognize outages automatically

PGE is shit at it, though. I've reported a night time outage that went longer than 15 minutes before my report and they told me I was first, and it wasn't on the outage map before I reported it either. So I have no personal knowledge of SCE, but I do know PGE can't find their ass with assistance.

I'm not an American, but I was always under the impression that the USA was run like other democracies

The USA cannot be run by "other" democracies because The USA is not and never has been a Democracy.

I guess I'm wondering why nobody seemed to notice this before?

Lots and lots of people have noticed before that the USA is not a democracy, but there are lots and lots of people who profit from it not being one, and surprise! Some of those people own the majority of news media in this nation.

Comment So what's the license say? (Score 1, Insightful) 102

Gaggle's CEO, Jeff Patterson, said in an interview that the school system did not use Gaggle the way it is intended. The purpose is to find early warning signs and intervene before problems escalate to law enforcement, he said. "I wish that was treated as a teachable moment, not a law enforcement moment," said Patterson.

If the license doesn't prohibit leaping to law enforcement when the alleged purpose is to "intervene before problems escalate to law enforcement" then fuck you Jeff Patterson, you lying fuck.

There is a huge TMC factory in Arizona because of Trump.

What does Transitional Medi-Cal have to do with this? Besides, the republicants are cutting Medicaid.

TSMC had two facilities in AZ which had nothing to do with Trump, then he took credit for a third facility on the same campus as if corporations don't expand to fill anticipated demand.

TSMC built in the US not because of tariffs, but because of China.
