Yet still jam packed with people

Raspberry shake is ok for seeing if there was a quake, but there are in fact several improvements I've wanted to make if I had the time.

Starting with adding a long range wireless or cellular connection so it can be away from human activity, also I've wanted to improve the timestamp accuracy to well beyond +-10ms and I'm pretty sure it can be done with a tcxo and a GPS receiver.

I also think an actual raspberry pi isn't strictly needed and so the power consumption can be reduced a bit by sticking to microcontrollers

> I would tend to trust an Arduino more than an ESP in critical infrastructure.

Arduino has always come across to me as being for hobbyist/beginner/learning, and critical infra would use things more like, for example, STMicro or Texas Instruments microcontrollers

The uk grid is not synchronized with the european grid, it is just HVDC interconnected.

You are right about the european grid, it is synchronized

I always enjoy seeing the university I went to pop up on hackernews

Complaining that fire safety is bad for the economy. Wow, now that's a take I don't think you'll see in many places other than hackernews

>If they don't employ writers, then who is going to be writing the magazine?

Well there is always chatGPT

Levels above 1000ppm are shown to cause cognitive impairment. 3000ppm is absolutely harmful.

>our lungs are constantly dealing with much higher concentrations

After gas exchange. Not with inhaled air.

Just wanted to say, as someone who works in the industry, wind FPNs are sometimes incorrect.

Grid have access to "power available" signals, but this is not public data.

Sheffield solar are your guys. Maybe the best publicly available one.

So, as someone who works in the energy industry, what is "base load generation" to you?

It is an "always on" source?

Why does a particular fuel type need to be always on?

I've heard that some species of crab get dazzled by the magnetic field around DC cables

Well surely conifer forests will be fine as they are wind pollinated

> we aren't supposed to question or otherwise so much as discuss something if it goes against or strays from any established narratives

I guesss you are referring to vaccine scepticism.

Comparing anti-vaxxers to galileo is ridiculous.

Won't bot/troll farms just buy "verified human" accounts?
