Portable generators about half as efficient as power plants | Setty's notebook

Portable generators about half as efficient as power plants | Setty's notebook: "I happened across a spec sheet for Honda portable generators up to 6 kilowatts. According to my math, they convert between 13% and 18% of the power in gasoline into electrical energy, when running at their “rated load,” usually about 10% lower than their maximum load.

This is a little better than half as efficient as fixed power plants.

The gasoline-powered generators produce at best 6.13 kilowatt-hours per gallon of fuel, at worst 4.42, and a median of 5.7."

Driving’s Long Decline in Oregon | Streetsblog.net

Driving’s Long Decline in Oregon | Streetsblog.net: "Call it peak driving, or the end of an era: Americans are driving less.

For 10 years now, Oregon motorists have been driving less. No one is quite sure why. The slump that began before the recession has continued into the period of economic and job growth, and no one seems to know exactly what’s causing it.

It may not surprise you that the state of Oregon was a bit precocious in this arena. Residents of the Beaver State changed their driving behavior before the rest of the nation and don’t seem poised to return to their old ways anytime soon"

The Patent Protection Racket - Joel on Software

The Patent Protection Racket - Joel on Software: "The fastest growing industry in the US right now, even during this time of slow economic growth, is probably the patent troll protection racket industry. Lawsuits surrounding software patents have more than tripled since 1999.

First principle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

First principle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Profoundly influenced by Euclid, Descartes was a rationalist who invented the foundationalist system of philosophy. He used the method of doubt, now called Cartesian doubt, to systematically doubt everything he could possibly doubt, until he was left with what he saw as purely indubitable truths. Using these self-evident propositions as his axioms, or foundations, he went on to deduce his entire body of knowledge from them. The foundations are also called a priori truths. His most famous proposition is I think, therefore I am, or Cogito ergo sum."
