Megawatt-hour level home-battery installs? Show us a picture. That's literally a room full of batteries. The actual reality is having ten or so kilowatt-hours to balance rooftop solar.

There's a mix of miscommunication and wat. I'm using approximate floor area values here, not perimeter walls. 0.1 W/m2/K for a WALL is definitely not a "passive" house, that's barely A++.

> I'm talking 25cm+ of rockwool in the walls, 40cm on the roof and triple pane windows,

Yep, this gets you something like 0.5 realistic, maaaaybe up to 0.3 in the models.

A "properly insulated" house still requires something around 0,5 W/m2/K. Modeling a moderate 120 m2 house in the coldest months when the temperatures hit 15-20 negative you still need 2,5 kW of heat with domestic hot water on top. Put in the efficiency of a heat pump and you are still easily looking at half a mega watt-hour per month. ~1MWh for a whole house is very reasonable number during winter months, sans electric mobility.

That's entirely unrealistic to cover with batteries with current battery technologies alone, electricity generation is absolutely REQUIRED. Windmills can help soften the blow and storage needs substantially, but the TFA is about solar, which is effectively absent during the winter.

Is it? In my (EU) country there is basically a list of things the invoice must show, without any strict template, even if they converge on very similar designs in the end. Basically to allow branding and alleviate physical -> digital transition struggles.

In the beginning the most popular "invoicing" software was Excel :D

Nothing is a golden goose, however semver is designed to limit the scope of incoming changes so you have a chance of staying on top.

There are literally three ways to deal with these supply chain issues:

1. Allocate the bandwidth yourself

2. Buy that bandwidth

3. Yolo

First day with javascript?

When solar OVERproduces you have to literally pay someone to consume that energy, most probably wind farms, which could be producing energy instead. So you pay actually twice. When the solar underproduces, you need to bring in alternative sources, but those now have to cover all their fixed costs and generate return on investment over this limited timeframe, which means the actual backup prices hit stratospheric levels.

What's the actual cost of solar with actual net-billing?

So it's a spam issue. And normally, while annoying it's possible to fight spam, however on these topics we have built structures that disable the very mechanisms allowing us to fight spam. That's worrying.

The fact that someone can instruct their computer to astroturf their flight tracking app on some forum for nerds is irrelevant - people have been instructing "marketing agencies" to astroturf their brand of caffeinated sugar water on tv, radio and press for decades and centuries. For a very long time the "traditional media" was aware that their ability to sell astroturfing capacity was hanging on their general trustworthiness. Then the internets rose to prominence, traditional media followed by selling more and more of their capacity to astroturfers. Now we have a worrying situation that the internets might be spammed by astroturfers a bit too much, but the backup is broken already. Now that's truly frightening.

Welcome to the post-truth world, where objective references outside of your own village cannot exist.

Coincidentally, bringing your own address that can be migrates away is somewhere between impossible and expensive.

Yet, this thread is full of people defending this pre-alpha quality thing.

Most information you can access publicly, including Wikipedia, is a result of astroturfing fight. Most information online had not been trustable for double digit number of years now.

> we already experience misleading articles today

Again, had been happening for decades.

> footage of some incident somewhere may have been entirely fabricated by AI

Not like we did not already have doctored footage plaguing the public.

> Money will have to be wasted on unnecessary flights to see stuff or meet people in-person instead of video

Necessity to inspect the supply chain for snake oil has been a thing since at least EA (the Nasir one).

We may be dealing with the problem of spam, but the problems have already been there.

Going back to a map view from an airport view resets the map, so exploration for fun is again borderline unusable.
