Maybe if your community doesn't have reliable power. Most of us would prefer a few extra dollars in our retirement accounts than we would an extra hour of power per decade.
Batteries scale pretty linearly. There's no reason to start with large scale commercial and "scale down". In this context, the scale you're looking for is widespread deployment, so that battery manufacturers get into a competition frenzy.
Why should homeowners be forced to sell the energy they generate at below market rates? Would the coal plant operator accept a law forcing them to sell at wholesale?
Dunno why my solar array should subsidize coal plants. That's a problem for them to solve. If they think batteries are necessary, they can install them at the coal plant.
You know the laws were changed after Enron, right? I live in CA and I never set the clock on my stove; I haven't had a power interruption in over 5 years.
But like you say, we don't cure meat for food safety reasons anymore. We cure meat because the curing process makes delicious animals even more delicious.
No one's going to ban smoked salmon, so what's the endgame here besides whining about health?
Is there an alternative to curing the meat with nitrites? Because if there isn't, this is just an academic conversation. We're not going to ban cured meats, and everyone already knows meat causes cancer. No one cares. Pigs are fucking delicious. Cows are fucking delicious. We've already decided it's worth it.
Yeah, I'd say Docker might one day be a useful tool for production, but it's still a ways off. And some other shiny thing will probably appear before that happens.
Why do you think software should be innovative? Software is largely the translation of human-focused business processes into machine-readable code. If you are spending time "innovating" in this space, you aren't servicing your employer.
Some people get to work on innovative shit, but you shouldn't expect that to be the norm.
It's a balancing act, but if the devs can't work with the ops tools, the ops tools should be reworked until they can. Devs are generally smart. If you can't build tools they can use, then you probably aren't managing your ops issues well enough. You're probably reacting to problems instead of fixing them.
The complicated interconnected nature of this sort of thing means issues land initially in one expert's lap, only to be delegated to another expert. The key is to be flexible and responsive to issues and not worry so much about who is responsible for what, but who is responsible now as an issue progresses. The hand-off of responsibility is more important than defining the responsibility.
Think of it this way: either party can insist on cash remuneration unless both parties agree to waive that right before the transaction. The ordering is important because it proves both parties waived the right to use cash. The assumption is always cash unless another option is explicitly chosen.
This sounds like maybe a Mac only issue? I've always noticed Mac colors look washed out and low contrast at the high intensity end. Something about the gamma difference, like it's higher than on Windows/Linux.
You are essentially describing tho American healthcare system under "Obamacare". So, it would suggest the cost differential has less to do with the healthcare systems and more to do with all the other things you mention. That means there's little reason we would expect single payor to be any cheaper.
The Testament of Loki by Joanne Harris. It's a sequel to The Gospel of Loki, a fantasy novel describing Norse myth from Loki's perspective, but goes pretty wildly off the rails, with Loki, Odin, Freya, and Thor inhabiting an awkward teenage girl, a wheelchair bound computer geek, a popular cheerleader, and a cocker spaniel, respectively.
The Silk Roads: A New History of the World by Peter Frankopan. It's a world history from the view point of central Asia, book-ended by the rise of Persia and the important role Iran now plays in world events. Especially fascinating is how Europe barely registers until the mid 20th century, and how British adventurism in Asia had major repercussions for the Americas. The Muslims, Mongols, and Han are the dominant players.

You're a moron. Just because one company lets you pay with cash, doesn't mean every other company is required to.

Yeah, try that with your phone bill.

Apple is based on Unix, not Linux. And as someone who spends a lot of time writing shell scripts, I assure you they are quite different.
Sysadmins mostly work at Amazon and Google and Microsoft now. So, devops is largely now the process of automating cloud services.

That's a fascinatingly weird law.
And without a tip.

Bloated crapware that doesn't properly integrate with your desktop? No thanks...

Try taking a pair of headphones and plug them into a receiver from the 60s. Works just fine.
Looks like Apple found a software workaround for the Qualcomm patents.
