Most people who charge at home, charge at night. So, without storage, solar panels don't help.
But it's not "some storage", it's lots of storage. The largest residential Powerwall is 10kWh, so you would need 2 1/2 of these to fully charge a Leaf. A Tesla with the smallest 60 kWh battery would require 10 of them.
If you charge every night and drive an average commute (30-40 miles/day), then I suppose one Powerwall would be sufficient.
Those who exhibit heightened emotional intelligence excel at their jobs and stand out to employers.
I can believe the latter, but the former? That's going to depend a lot on what your job is. There are lots of jobs where EQ isn't particularly important and other forms of intelligence are more important.
Let's be clear, all these fees exist as a way to hide the true cost of the service.
One that irritated me a lot was paying a property tax fee for a rental car at DFW airport. Why is this so bad? Because, had I not rented the car, the company would have still been required to pay that property tax. In other words, the tax wasn't directly tied to my rental of the vehicle. Why not charge a fee for the property taxes on their HQ? Or charge a fee for the salaries of the employee who checked me in and gave me the car keys?
Taken further, every service is going to cost 1 cent and the rest will be "fees and taxes". Perhaps at that point the FTC might step in?
Brits seldom bother to learn foreign languages, after all, even in another country the foreigners are everybody else.
The problem isn't restricted to the UK. I don't think that the USA is much better at educating people in foreign languages (does Spanish count as foreign?).
The "problem" is that English is spoken as a first or second language in such a large part of the world that few English speakers need to be able to communicate in other languages.
If you are in your twenties or early thirties, you can get a good individual plan for about $250/month, even in the most expensive part of the USA, I know, because that's how much my daughter pays.
However, for myself and my wife, my employer pays almost $2000/month for a high deductible plan.
The one time we saw some numbers, the insurance company paid less than 10% of the total bill, and we paid nothing. It was the hospital charges for a standard room.
I choose to have a high deductible/out of pocket limit ($5k deductible), but most of that amount is covered by contributions to my HSA by my employer. Under every scenario for use of medical services (from no use of medical services, to hitting the out out of pocket limit), I am better off with the high deductible.
If you read the e-mails as proof it was rigged, then you read what you wanted to read and would have believed anyway
Perhaps not the convention. In California, the night before the primary election, there was an announcement on the news that Clinton had won. Guess what, turnout of Democratic electors was lower than expected. And the claim that Clinton had already won: false. Was that false claim an accident? I don't think so.
The one-sided nature of the leaks suggests that either Wikieaks has an agenda, or it is the willing accomplice of someone who has an agenda.
In any case, the failure to redact phone numbers and other personal information suggests that Wikileaks cannot really be regarded as a reasonable way to leak data.
Finally, I suspect that the one-sided nature of the leaks is upsetting many people who would otherwise support Wikileaks.
And the UK court's response would be like: "You are in the USA, working for a US subsidiary? LOL. Get out of here and, by the way, pay your former employer's legal costs on the way out."
Yeah, but it's easy to do all that when your country profited massively from various wars and to this day has billions (trillions?) of deposits in bank accounts that the banks know are very unlikely ever to be repaid.
in-car systems use the vehicle speed sensor and a gyro for the main navigation input, with GPS being used to find an approximate position only.
Are you sure about that? I have always assumed that, while certainly possible, it was not actually true and was just a BS reason to get people to buy the over-priced in-car system.
It's much cheaper for an auto manufacturer to buy the technology from a vendor of stand-alone systems, than engineer a new system, relying on different inputs.

Whoops, not 10, but, obviously 6! A P100 model would require 10 for a full charge.
What's the point of this?

I am reasonably confident that the mime would care.
Oh, yes, my favourite: "Yes, I'll get ", or "Hold on, there's someone at the door". Then I see how long before they realize and hang up.
Some idiots even call back, at which time I usually explain that I was purposefully wasting their time.
Sometimes I click on the links, and put fake, abusive usernames and passwords into the fields on the resulting web page.
If he were smart, he would have been much more careful with what he said while wearing a mic.

The problem is that electing Trump in place of Clinton because of this would be a boneheaded move.
Or, to simplify my statement above: The problem is that electing Trump would be a boneheaded move.
FTFY. The only thing that has changed is that MS doesn't currently see a way to do the extinguish part.

I did not realize that Toyota had sold enough Mirai fuel-cell cars to make a botnet.

Perhaps. My information came from asking a Japanese person while in Tokyo what those devices were for.
I don't think you realize how cost-sensitive auto manufacturing is. How much would it have cost for GM to fix the ignition switches?

I think that it is common for horse meat to be eaten in many countries in Europe.

Cars in Japan have a little antenna mounted to the front bumper. I believe that this is for GPS reception.
