Various climate / energy / policy topics. A focus towards slightly more in depth research than typically seen


It might help to have some context. I pulled up the NH Net Metering rules and see that they charge the following:

Transmission fees (FERC/federal fees): $12.92/625kWh = $0.02

Distribution fees (PUC/local fees): $25.88/625kWh = $0.04

Compared to this ship: 1000 miles: $41.5 / 1000kWh = $0.04

A full comparison would require knowing what distances NH moves power over, and what other transmission would need to be coupled with one payload from the ship. But I think that this shows the costs may be in the right ballpark. And - having this as an option where lines are not possible (NIMBYism, etc), or in the face of natural disasters, is a huge win.

Now.. is that ship electric?


> having this as an option where lines are not possible (NIMBYism, etc)

Not a lot of nimbys have a backyard in the middle of an ocean, I'll grant you that.

> or in the face of natural disasters

If you really mind transporting a few generators on a plain cargo ship, this could be an alternative, I guess.


ah thanks, but sadly that's not the one


"For a week or two" became "For a week"

Looking forward to using this. A lot. :-)


Damn, I'm itching for pressure-sensitive arrow keys.


New in this release:

0.3.0 (accessories release) - Copy to clipboard, link to this plugin, in a lightly styled menu - Now supports gTalk with "Pictures in chat" labs extension turned off - Donate button, toggle switch, and fork banner on options page - Google analytics for click events - Sexy new icon.

Thanks :)


Yup, you can see right in the manifest file that it can only access mail.google.com: - https://github.com/pehrlich/GTalkSyntax/blob/master/manifest...

And view all the source code, right here: https://github.com/pehrlich/GTalkSyntax/blob/master/javascri... (This is the one file that does almost all the work)

I really would like to make it as safe and constrained as possible, but by nature this is working with personal data. I think the best thing I can do is to keep it all open source, think about privacy, and encourage people to read the code as much as possible.

Anyway, thanks for having a look!


As stated below, I miss read. I'll have another look then.


wow, that is very nice. Does anyone else think they notice that primes are near to highly divisible numbers?


That does make a certain amount of intuitive sense, in rough terms. In a certain "region" of the integral number line, based on the magnitude of the contained numbers, we expect a certain total number of prime factors. It makes sense that highly composite numbers might be near by primes in order to "balance out".

None of this is rigorous, but I think contains some intuition with a kernel of truth.


I recall a successful 'highest prime' search using a system that checked numbers of the form 2^n - 1 (or something like that)


Those are called Mersenne Primes, and are in the form 2^p - 1, where p is a prime number.


I read that as the "shared struggle and purpose" being the softball team..


Then what is 'play time' if softball qualifies as 'struggle and purpose'?
