We're there always this many dead accounts? It seems like I see dead accounts on almost every thread these days. Most of which are for good reason...

This isn't for regular people, this is telling third parties what they need, in order for them to try to sell something to the nsa.

Install the lastpass binary in addition to the browser plugin. It re-adds that functionality back.

Paying for certs will pale in comparison to paying for inefficient infrastructure costs.

That's the exact reason I stopped using that stuff. Nothing is worse than the roommate complaining about being unable to watch tv while the raid 5 rebuilds.

You probably should have figured out most of these things before you started. Can you leverage your network to get you going?
jdubs | 7 years ago | on: California to become first U.S. state mandating solar on new homes
From June till September last year(pre solar) my energy bill was near 200. My financing is about 70 dollars a month for the next 20 years... I'm expecting my solar production to cover probably 70% of my bill. Since I'm paying financing plus utility hookup(mandatory $10), plus what ever I use after solar; I will likely not recoup my investment. Imho, it's more feelgood and a hedge against future energy price increases.
I have also noticed that I pay attention more to my consumption. I've debated on buying an energy consumption device like sense, but it seems like a toy...

The -20 bill was the result of having pleasant weather and not running the AC as frequently in April, plus it was a very sunny April... I'm pretty sure I will not have a negative utility bill in August.

My system cost about $15,000 via solar city for a 6kwh system. Austin utility paid me about 3000 and I got a 4000 tax credit. Last month my bill was -20 dollars. Looking back on solar, probably not the best financial decision but I think it's pretty cool and I will be able to run the AC this summer at 70 for a reasonable bill.

jdubs | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: How much do you sleep?
I'm pretty useless if I get less than 5 hours of sleep. Anymore than that and I'm good to go. I shoot for about 9ish hours of sleep a night, I typically have a sleepless night every 10 days where I'm up at 330 until the next sleep.
