Kind of reminds me of Pleasant Green who scambaits, but also makes attempts to get to know the scammers and actually makes an effort to help them turn their lives around.
That was a great watch. I love how the next step in competitive Tetris means the player will need to learn which moves won’t crash it so you can get to the final level. How cool.
Honestly, for me, the best part about this, is how excited the person they were competing against was for them. They didn’t care that they didn’t get it, they were happy for their competitor. That was awesome.
Australia has a lot of distributed grid capacity. Some of the highest rooftop solar numbers (to the point where curtailment is an issue). And this stuff with vehicle-to-load/vehicle-to-grid capacity is a possible way to continue doubling down on that stuff.
It's a weird market. If they play their cards right, Australia -- particularly because of its mineral resources -- will become a huge part of a green energy transition. Though they'll have to commit quite seriously to make it happen.
Decentralizing the grid is a great way to build resilience. It saves lives. But it's tough when you have private capital natural monopolies, especially vertically-integrated ones (as is the norm in the US), in charge of operation. You have to align incentives towards lowering cost, improving resiliency, and meeting growth. Rather than incentivizing giant, absurd capital investment, discouraging maintenance and infrastructure, and pitting the utilities against consumers.
I can't help but smell an orphan crushing machine somewhere in this story. Or maybe just a regular old BEV ad. But this kind of stuff really does need to be the future if we want our species to survive.
I would not be surprised if EVs will be an integral part of the future power grid, though it would be better to have static power pods with batteries distributed in neighbourhoods.
some pretty cool stuff, especially the one about unfreezing of rat kidneys in a way that doesn’t damage the organ.
I’m passionate about the idea of space exploration, and there are two things we desperately need to figure out before we can make real manned space exploration possible. one is cold fusion so as to power long haul flights, and also the ability to freeze ourselves without dying. If they can freeze a rat kidney, unfreeze it, and have it still work like it should is incredible. We’re closer and closer to a manned mission to mars and beyond.
