Alas, on the path to greater things achieved, quarrels of mankind see no relief; to build a house of time and stone, requires an ounce of flesh and bone.

“Life is mostly froth and bubble, Two things stand like stone. Kindness in another's trouble, Courage in your own.” - Adam Lindsay Gordon

That’s a beautiful stoic+ thought

That is a beautiful quote. Thank you.

You are most welcome.

Take a bit of time to walk; Look, wonder, have a talk. There is no journey without the ´jour´; All should at least once be a flaneur.

An original poem? Lovely :)

Yea, its original. Thanks. Ive been a long time lurker here on HN, and thought i might contribute by putting my on topic thoughts into rhyme.

MacKay's work makes a complex subject simple, is certainly effective at unit harmonization in a domain (energy) where an array of units can be thrown around without any regards for ease of comparison.

Given technological trends, maybe it makes sense for the next version of this work to be some sort of 'living' document/website, where calculations with changing variables (like efficiency of commercially deployed PV cells) change over time?
