And if you’re in the UK, wire them up to Axle Energy

(plug-in batteries aren’t actually legal here yet, but likely to become so next year!)

Well, some did. I was surprised to see so many anonymous signatories.

Axle Energy // axle.energy // Onsite London, UK

We build software to run decarbonized electricity grids. Our platform controls vehicle charging, heating systems, and home batteries, adjusting their usage in line with the needs of the grid.

We control hundreds of thousands of energy assets across the UK, monetizing the demand flexibility we create in electricity markets. We're growing rapidly, backed by Accel, and looking for data scientists and engineers looking to make a dent in climate change.

Lovely landing page, appreciate the care over the icons!

I've just moved back to Bristol (grew up here) and delighted to see this on HN.

Since this post is likely to be a good honeypot: can anybody recommend any good tech meetups here? I run an energy tech company and looking to meet like-minded folk

Axle Energy | London, UK (Onsite 2 days/week)| Full Stack Engineers

We're building software to adapt electricity usage to the vagaries of renewable energy: using more energy when we have lots of cheap, green electrons and less when the grid is fossil-fuel heavy and costly.

We're B2B, building tooling for companies to optimize EV charging, heat pumps, and batteries.

Very curious to hear from users - definitely addresses a real pain point, does it do so successfully?

This is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for, thanks!

Workflow I've used previously:

1. Render html (easy with a templating language e.g. Jinja for Python)

2. Turn the html into a pdf (e.g. wkhtmltopdf in Python)

Love this. Bought a couple of books similar to "Midnight's Children' - author should definitely think about adding affiliate links!

I thought the OP was great, and am also a fan of Refactoring UI.

What's the "next level" from these handy rules of thumb? I'm looking for a UI 201

For the brave!

But seriously (author of article here) I think that agile tariffs and more demand flexibility are probably a big part of the solution

Sorry about that! I gave up on RSS with the death of Google Reader. A Twitter follow is your best bet :)

Author of the article here

Electricity prices in the UK (and most other places) are set by the marginal unit, which is the most expensive unit that needs to be turned on to meet demand. All other generation for that time period gets paid the same price. The marginal unit in the UK is usually gas, hence the sensitivity to gas prices

Are the musical ratios right here? 25/12 is not approximately 4/3... I struggled to wrap my head around that one

Otherwise, excellent!

I've been using this for a week since reading this post and I'm enjoying it.

The quick capture is the killer feature for me, although it'd be even better if there was a shortcut which automatically captures context too (e.g. URL, email)- maybe there is and I'm missing it.

Mobile capture is a bit of a nuisance but sure you're aware of this. I think a WhatsApp bot would be the best way to give reliable offline or online capture without an app but I haven't seen anybody executing on that so perhaps there are issues with the idea.

Agree with the other comments about the calendly-lite features being unecessary for me, and add complexity to a fairly busy UI.

I heard that Sweden's high income tax actually incentivised startups, because the only way to get _seriously_ wealthy was through capital gains.

Does anybody know whether that's true?

If so, it really undermines the narrative that is somewhat dominant in Britain, that high income tax will disincentivize entrepreneurship and innovation etc etc

Such an interesting topic but the typography of the article makes my eyes hurt...

I think the popularity of this notion comes from the fact that it's one of the few effects upon happiness that doesn't wash out over time. People adapt to changes in circumstance remarkably quickly, adjusting their expectations to the new normal and ceasing to derive any pleasure from it (the "hedonic treadmill"). A long commute seems particularly hard to adjust to, and thus the negative utility of a long commute often outlasts the positive utility of e.g. the higher salary you attain by the commute.

Edit: typo

Very useful piece.

To the authors: there's a dangling TK ADD LINK comment that should have been removed before publication, I think.

The links in this piece are broken for me, DOI not found (in case the author is lurking)

Slightly off topic, but I think some version of this idea appears in Jonathan Franzen's `The Corrections` - it's the startup that makes Brian's millions and allows him to fund The Generator?
