All great points, and you're right. Storage is definitely the next hurdle and one that will be difficult to overcome. But we have to start somewhere. It wasn't all that long ago when driving ~250 miles on a battery was considered impossible -- or cost prohibitive at best. It's not acceptable to just throw our collective arms in the air and keep doing what we're doing just because the numbers don't work out today. What SCE and other utilities are doing in this area is important, even if the overall impact seems insignificant right now.
And that means the top-line numbers of installed solar capacity don't have much bearing on how much conventional capacity they're actually displacing in operation.
Right. That's why system operators like California ISO aren't counting each and every megawatt generated by renewables.
Also, SoCal Edison has been bringing online some incredible advances in energy storage technology. Systems like these will begin taking hold across the country over the course of the next decade, changing the dynamics of solar energy availability and reliability.

Are we spoofing GPS here, or are we spoofing AIS? Just so we're clear... GPS is obviously GPS, but the summary seems to conflate GPS and AIS. AIS is a terrestrial based VHF system which takes GPS data from individual ships adds identifiers and transmits it to anyone who cares to listen, which usually means other ships and shore-side receivers. It sounds to me like it is AIS that is being spoofed -- which would be trivial compared to GPS.
Keep in mind that AIS is just one of several redundant systems which ships use to navigate waterways and track positions of nearby vessels.
No investigation has indicated suspicions that Russia did anything. The only one who suspects Russia is one captain of a tanker ship.
Apparently what we're dealing with here is a simplistic (and frankly, rather haphazard in this respect at least) string-matching algorithm that could have come right out of the early 1970s...!
You lost me at 'a' but had me back at 'b' -- I love watches, personally, and a phone does not replace them. I'm not strapped with a Rolex, but rather a modest collect of Citizen and Seiko.
That video, though, contained probably the largest man bun I've ever seen. Good lord...
30+ years without "net neutrality" regulations, 2 years with. Who here really thinks that the internet is more free today than it was just a few years ago, before Facebook, Google and Twitter flexed the muscle that their de facto monopolies gave them?
Sorry Woz, you need to get back to your real talents - building hardware. Outside of your realm, you can't resist the temptation to speak as if your personal politics are universal truths.
Not sure why this is modded Troll. Agree or disagree with the his point, sure. But This is a perfect example of "Troll is not a replacement for "I disagree".
I have used Linux as my primary desktop since ~1997. As a software developer it is a power platform. The shell is critical. However, as a conventional desktop it is just not competitive with Windows. And OSX isn't either. Both Linux and OSX are below 4% market share. Vertical integration is very weak. Windows has an identity management system that allows transparent filesharing, advanced group based access control, sophisticated business applications. Getting stuff like that to work on Linux is too difficult or simply not possible. So software venders focus on the Windows platform. And rightly so. I just tried and application that recently released a Beta for Linux and it was a total fail. I occasionally dabble in engineering related stuff and I have to have a Windows machine for all of the various programs for cad, PCB design, simulation. Yeah, programs like that exist for Linux but they're just not good. And I know people agree with me that the GNOME desktop has actually regressed. It used to be much more usable. But they dumbed it down for reasons that where not entirely clear. My guess would be that when new developers come along, they have a tendency to want to re-write everything from scratch. I'm not diametrically opposed to this strategy but you better come up with something that was at least as good as what you're dumping. And that didn't happen. There are other integration related issues as well. For example, for as long as I can recall there has always been a fight between X and the desktop over who should remember the positions of windows. X says applications should save that information and recall it when re-launching an app. Desktop people think it should be handled by lower level facilities. Now, whenever logout and back in, all of my terminal windows have to be re-launced and repositioned (I run 6-8 terms on 4-5 workspaces). That is something that actually used to work somewhat in GNOME. It worked in WindowMaker IIRC. The Linux desktop has been dumbed way down to the point where it's not nearly as useful as it used to be. At least not for people doing more than surfing the web and email. Might as well just get a Chomebook for that.

Also worth noting here that reportedly the dude set the fire alarm off in his room, which led to him being located.
Also Trump WH staff, former Chief of Staff; six in total, so far.
