Testing a computer system running on solar power you can see a live web-cam, connected to the 12v computer - power supplied from a 18v solar-panel. This is a newly constructed prototype running long-term test. More information can be found in the above live webcam menu.
There you can also find some information about local measurement of the efficiency of the solar panel - which depend very much of the placement of the solar-panel.
The 'surplus society' has a
surplus
of similar companies,
employing similar people,
with similar educational
backgrounds, coming up
with similar ideas,
producing similar things,
with similar prices
and similar quality.

Leveraging Diversity
Diverse groups of problem solvers - groups of people with diverse tools - consistently outperformed groups of the best and the brightest.
If I formed two groups, one random (and therefore diverse) and one consisting of the best individual performers, the first group almost always did better. … Diversity trumped ability
