On a hot summer day my power company has to make a decision. Fire up their diesel generators to supply peak power at some cost to them, or buy from someone else who has either surplus power or cheaper sources of extra power that can be turned on. They track the spot prices for electricity constantly. Maybe they even sell power sometimes to other utilities because the price is sweet enough.
Net metering, as someone else said, is the simplest scheme.
With 'old-fashioned' meters, you get net metering for free. The spinners spin forward when you use electricity and they spin backwards when you generate electricity, leaving the meter to show you the net amount of power you used. simple.
To do other than this requires the fancy smart meters that can tell whether or not you are consuming or generating electricity, and can meter them separately.
The 'blogger' complains that the authors predict things that have not yet been observed, but that is exactly the point. A proposal that only explained things that are known is awfully convenient and cannot be confirmed or disproven by new observations.
Every time I touch my daughter's Win 10 laptop I find more things wrong with it. MS still can't get simple shit right. In the middle of working on something a pop up shows up about "Updates". Totally modal, can't switch away, has only one button "Schedule". No indication about what piece of software this box belongs to.
How can this crap ship? My kids know better than to click on strange unexpected pop ups. Apparently MS still doesn't truly understanding multi-tasking OSes.
Windows 7 habit of having a half dozen different "Updaters" pop up indistinguishable nondescript "Update now?" dialogs is one of the most frustrating defects in Win7. You'd think that several OSes later Redmond would have fixed this.
Windows 10 will have a larger need to support legacy hardware than any prior release of windows. There is no next release of Windows (supposedly), everything that Win 10 runs on today must still run Win 10 30 years from now. Or do you think that some day after an update you will see on your computer screen "Windows 10 no longer supports this hardware. Buh bye!"
It's this amazing piece of technology...
It's called a scrollbar.
Since many pages load all the images into memory anyway, why force me to click and click and only let me look through a peep hole at one image at a time?
I hate photo galleries. In general they are not necessary.
You have thousands of images that you need to actually navigate in? Then you need a solution. You want to show me 32 images? Just show them to me damn it.
Last time I worked for a Fortune 500 company you could not get a PO for anything that cost less than a certain dollar amount (limit depended upon the type of purchase, i.e. software versus hardware, capital vs non-capital expense). Everything under the limit needed to be handled as a reimbursement.
When they came out I tried the feature. Put my tabs into a group (might have been by accident). There was no way to Ungroup my tabs. There was no way to reopen a closed Group or to identify what tabs were in the group after it was closed.
I lost all my tabs and immediately disabled the feature because undo is always a requirement.
By that logic, every for-profit company is suspect, as are their products. That stance works equally well against electronics, clothing, cars, pocket knives, wine, and coffee, all produced by corporations
That's because it's true.
Corporate motives are always suspect. They have no other concern than making money as has been demonstrated over and over and over.
Earlier you quoted someone out of context to imply that "science was wrong". The reality is that the scientific evaluation of novel items is merely biased. The corporations that pay for the research are looking for benefits first and foremost. Safety testing is only important to the extent that it is necessary for approvals. This has been demonstrated repeatedly.
Corporations often take a "Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil" approach to hazards as can be seen with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTBE_controversy . The hazards of adding MTBE to gasoline were entirely predictable.
Perhaps you should be a little more skeptical of corporations bearing 'gifts'.
So... if you walk up to a one hundred sided die, and the face of the die shows 31. Your position is that means the die is lying because there's only a 1% chance of that happening?... interesting.
Parameter optimization is always a difficult problem. Even if the engine parameters change with varying conditions, the "operational envelope" is not going to be uniform under all conditions.
If you have to choose between optimizing "road" emissions or "test" emissions, which one do you think is going to ship?
.. or just maybe it's because you have to eat veggies when they are ripe, and they don't store that well, at least not until you understand how to can food without poisoning yourself. Whereas certain other crops can get you through the long cold winter even though by Spring you'll be sick of shriveled potatoes for dinner.
... it can't be Mayonnaise unless it meets the criteria for being Mayonnaise. It's been this way for decades, practically a century. Just look at a jar of Miracle Whip. It is NOT called mayonnaise because it doesn't have enough oil to be called mayonnaise, and it has been that way since 1933.

And when some court in some majority Muslim country demand's that all Google results world wide be purged of results that reference Charlie Hebdo will France be okay with that? or does Google just need to obey EU courts and can ignore the courts everywhere else?

It's actually a trans planet. Trans-neptunian that is.
If this was true, then MS is screwed, because everything on Win 10 works differently than it ever has before.
Just changing a network from Public to Private requires googling up a damn tutorial.

or a big one either apparently.

How else are you supposed to prepare them for the real world?
Let them see all this stuff on the 6 o'clock news?
And this is exactly why I never used Tab Groups.

and here I thought they did it by having a very extensive and expensive schedule of fees.

Similarly: Kraft Singles aren't cheese. California Sparkling Wine isn't Champagne. Gardenburger Veggie Burgers aren't hamburgers. Margarine isn't butter.
Maybe they should have gone with "I can't believe it's not Mayo!"

Perhaps you might want to read _Fukushima: The Story of a Nuclear Disaster_ and find out just how well their accident modelling works.
Many "can't happen" failures happened one after another. Entire failure modes totally ignored for not being "realistic" but that actually happened.
Failure analysis needs to be done by pessimists. The nuclear industry apparently doesn't like pessimists.
Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.
