There is aftermarket batteries to put life back in a Nissan leaf.

> can our grid handle that?

Not in the few hours of peak though there are charges that understand the time of day costs and will only charge in certain times when the grid is cheaper.

Some electric vehicles such as the Nissan leaf also have V2G which will help the grid in times of need.

> cannot see how it would be cheaper than gas

It already is.

> I just see this hurting low-income people.

You are right it will as people transition off gas it will no longer have economies of scale so the price of gas will rise.

jupyterhub addresses some of these concerns.
It would have been a great time for pilots to be training on the the 737 Max as a different aircraft. The mistake with the 737 Max is that it is a simulator for pilots flying like it was a regular 737. The selling point to not have to train the pilots was the big mistake with the design.

Good news. I'm hopeful that this ambitious timeline makes Sun Cable project between Australia's Northern Territory and Singapore more likely.

They just needs the right incentives to be plugged in like being rewarded for being able to provide frequency response while plugged in. The following link supports my argument https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40565-015-0124-0

I've wanted to do something similar to test webhooks in the past.

There are a few Australian farmers onto what seems to me a similar approach including farmer turn author Charles Massy who published "Call of the Reed Warbler".

In the early chapters of the book Charles explains his story of going to university for a science degree though coming back to the farm soon after when his father passes. He listened to the experts selling the products on what to do for years before deciding it was no longer working and decided on another approach.

I don't think we can blame the farmers directly though instead big agriculture and how they manipulate the farmers and lobby the government to sell more product.

Re:Postgres 11 – A First Look on Saturday September 22, 2018 @03:52AM (#18045003)
Postgres 9.4.0 was released 2014-12-18

The version convention has changed with v10.0 so it should be trivial to change from 10.x to 11.x . In your position I'd be updating 9.4.x -> 9.5.x -> 9.6.x -> 10.x
