Re: The End Of Net Metering May Be Good For Community Resilience & Nat’l Security

Net metering and battery storage are not mutually exclusive. You should spend your time advocating for grid scale utility battery systems instead of writing this drivel.

Can I just have native Android UI without breaking all the Samsung bloat? Thanks

Re: Electric-car charging stations rated: what's best, what's cheapest, what to avoid?

Yep definitely does not include Bolts, BMW, Tesla, etc :-). My Leaf maxes out at 3.3 kW on Level 2 chargers, I assume the other now sub-$10k (i-MiEV, etc.) models are similar.

We have different definitions of affordable. But I just installed the DuraStation - the 40A circuit is optional. An included jumper allows it to be installed on as little as a 15A circuit.

Home Depot sells the GE DuraStation for $397. It supports up to 7.2 kW, 40 amp charging - not that affordable EVs can take advantage of that yet. It also doesn't have wifi but it's a great price for something fairly future proof.

Some inaccuracies: the anti-tax commish still passed a new
tax, thereby making him now a pro-tax commish. Had 72-year-old Tarbell won, the
pace most assuredly would have been the opposite of refreshing - yet another
Cincinnati political retiree on the Board. If anything it would have been a
throwback to what the Board was for most of the 20th century.

Ohio already has electronic tolling in the North East. Kentucky, as owner of the bridge, would be responsible for all tolling on it.

Re: Half of $1T in federal student loan debt unpaid

SeanFromIT — Fri, 06 Sep 2013 09:53:08 -0000

Have you looked into what they consider discretionary income? Basically all of your income over poverty level, which is already an arbitrarily low number to keep millions off of welfare rolls. For middle class families, this means the 10% figure is more expensive per month than the longer term graduated repayment plan. IBR and the more expensive ICR is only effective if you stay in the lower class or stay unemployed.

Re: When school clothes lead to suspension

Tough to learn about accepting differences when you force your students to all look the same and not display their religious symbols and you try and outlaw bracelets. The last two lines really sum up the fallacy of these school principals.

Re: The Secrets Of Generation Flux

SeanFromIT — Tue, 06 Nov 2012 16:19:35 -0000

Some of this sounds like the author should remember Jim Collins work as it covers The Power of And. It's nothing new. Successful companies have embraced the duality for decades.

Also, Intuit is a terrible choice for inclusion. Mint deserves more than a few sentences at the end. It's a case in point why Intuit's existing management is not part of Generation Flux and that leading by acquisition doesn't make you part of this new generation unless you actually embrace the start-up mentality.

Re: A $100,000 factory job. What's uncool about that? - Feb. 27, 2012

SeanFromIT — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 11:38:23 -0000

As a young, skilled factory worker, I agree with most of the other posts here. Only management and above get 100k+. I work with people who have been here in skilled positions for 20 years who don't make that figure. And yes, I'm in one of those fancy we-want-manufacturing Right-to-Work states in the rust belt. The reality is I wouldn't be making half of what I do now if I hadn't went to a top notch college to get that (mostly unrelated) skilled training, and what I do make means next to nothing because I'm indentured due to the modest amount of student loans required just to attain the degree. If we want jobs where the pay means anything, we need to step up and deal with the education problems in America.

Re: Editorial: Debate Questions About Tech and the Internet Still #Unasked

SeanFromIT — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 16:21:39 -0000

1) Yes. Depending on state laws, any candidate can know your name, address and primary voting history. Not who you voted for specifically, but what party primary you participated in.
2) Of course we should sell them routers hopefully enabling them to become a part of the global Internet in the hopes that it will democratize their citizenry (Arab Spring, anyone?). This of course opens the door to cyber espionage, but so long as we're always a step ahead it's not a threat to us.
3) High unemployment? Directly employ citizens to run fiber optic line across the country. The telecoms have been doing a terrible job of this, even with federal and state incentives for rural roll-out. Time to step up and do it right. The program could eventually be self-sufficient, charging the telecoms carrier fees like they do each other for use of the infrastructure.

If you want a Tech President, start small. Donate to my campaign and the campaigns of other young politicians. My generation, Gen Y or Millennials or what have you, will be the majority soon enough.

A social network can be thrown together pretty easily - what is Gateway Ireland waiting for, other than government support? What are they trying to do that is so revolutionary?
