More countries where there's a surplus, are advising people to charge or use electricity during the day.

> The Australian government is floating a scheme that would share the benefits of solar power with everyone on the grid, offering totally free electricity to ratepayers in the middle of the day, when the sun is shining the strongest.

> Australia proposes letting everyone benefit from negative wholesale rates

I know more countries have this now, so that's a good initiative that hopefully will spread to other countries (with negative rates).

As an extra FYI, they also have other nice episodes about science and mathematics.

Very cool!

Obviously, people know, but for the others: occassionally someone posts the actual locations to compare to the game. Here are some amazing examples:

First of all, this looks very impressive (besides that it will be used for memes, haha), but can someone explain why the faces and movements look almost cartoon-like?

But wouldn't it be the same when Google translate is actively replacing nodes?

I once saw a rat trying to open a wheelie-bin and when it looked up to me, I could see it think: shit, I'm busted; they know we are smart.

Isn't the original repo linking to this one? The only thing I notice, is that this one is notarized by Apple.

Also reminds me of that old website where people could send text messages to (before Twitter existed).

There was this story of a person who could ping a machine and he knew it was in his house, but for the love of God couldn't find the machine. It's a very short story, but he ends up looking at the pings not knowing where this machine is runnning.

They're electric cars, so I assume they don't need to be juiced up in between rides.
