Yes, my grid-tied system is like this. The panels are ~410W and each one has a microinverter with ~390W maximum or something. The more expensive inverters were not worth capturing the peak. You’re better off putting that money into more panels.
Re:Distributed SQL engine for ultra-wide tables

Scuba could handle 100,000 columns, probably more. But yes, the model is that you have one table and you can only do self-joins and it’s more or less append only and you were only accessing maybe dozens of columns in a single query.
Feel free to email if you want to chat more.

ClickHouse and Scuba address this. The core idea is the data layout on disk only requires the scan to open files or otherwise access data for the columns referenced in that query.
In Google Photos shared albums there is a tab that I can only describe as a chatroom.

I think it’s medicalized because often this set of symptoms is associated with inability to function and it can be treated medically with eg therapy.

Yes this sort of tolerance building is the norm. There’s somewhat reduced cross-tolerance so you might alternate lsd and psilocybin.

Interesting. I didn’t read the study. I wonder if that favors smaller animals? Are large mammals a larger fraction water?

They specify wild mammals. Humans are like 600 megatons I think.
