Curious about your setup. Which nVidia box do you have? It’s been a while since I touched Kodi. Last time I played with it, I found that the addon ecosystem was hit and miss. Any suggestions there?
I had a company that went from nothing to marketleader and then back to nothing; the stress made me end up in hospital several times, the last time impacted my health enough to retire at 32. It was 10 years journey so I easily can write a book about it.
HCF was a great show, and one of the only shows that goes as far back as the BBS days before the Web “caught on”. The cast is pretty good. Highly recommend watching.
I'm curious about HN banking specialist opinions on this one. There isn't much information on this situation beyond the standard doom-and-gloom headlines.
From my limited understanding of the situation, this is mainly driven by TD's First Horizon imminent acquisition and its exposure to the forecasted hosing crisis (via Charles Schwab for the US housing market, and TD Canada for the Canadian housing market).
I enjoyed attending ALA events in the past. I met a few interesting folks and always learned something at each event.
It’s sad to see it come to a close but all things have their cycles, and I suppose ALA events are no different.
PS. Over the years, I purchased many of their books on topics like information architecture, accessibility, customer research, etc. The content is usually written with a practical lens and I found the advice easy to action.
It’s curious to see this topic on HN as I just came across an article about the impeding energy crisis in Ontario that sheds light on how the province is leveraging underground compressed air storage[1] as a tactic in their energy storage mitigation strategy.
[1] “Beyond the sprawling nuclear plants and waterfalls that generate most of the province’s electricity sit the batteries, the underground caverns storing compressed air to generate electricity, and the spinning flywheels waiting to store energy at times of low demand and inject it back into the system when needed.”

Given how ludicrous the rest of the article is, I have trouble trusting anything else that they wrote.
Using electric vehicles and reverse chargers to stabilize the grid will never be economically viable; it will always be cheaper to buy dedicated batteries for that purpose because vehicle batteries are limited by charge/discharge cycles, not age.
> vehicle batteries are limited by charge/discharge cycles, not age.
LFP batteries from the last few years are not limited by cycles. If you're charging every few days to weekly, it would take 50 years to hit the 3000-5000 cycle limits. Thermal degradation will happen a lot faster.
Just a name for the effects of temperature and time. Heavy use contributes, but is mostly accounted for under the 'cycle count at high charge/discharge rate' heading.
It's very hard to wear a new LFP battery with a controller that keeps it in the 20-80% range out now unless you cycle it several times a day or use it in harsh conditions.
We'll probably start seeing manufacturers cost cut and increase cycle depth or decrease cooling.
I've been curious lately about living off grid where I'd have a reasonable amount of land. One concern I had was with battery lifetime and this seems like a way to have a long lived system, at the cost of some efficiency. So I found this article and decided to share.
The content is great, but am I the only one that’s annoyed by those gnarly red image overlays on the mobile website breakpoint that (accidentally) activate as you scroll down?
