I naively sent the Docker developers a PR[1] to add this functionality into mainline Docker back in 2015. I was rapidly redirected into helping out in other areas - not having to use a registry undermined their business model too much I guess.
Wow. Did you read the next three paragraphs to the end of the article:
| Policymakers are now attempting to come up with solutions. “You can make solar play nice with the grids,” ...
| Yet the best solution would be for energy firms to respond to the competition and sort themselves out.
The article is talking about:
* how solar is disrupting the traditional utility model
* in countries where the utilities provide a poor service wealthy people are doing there own thing producing their own power with PV
* how this leads to less customers for the utility leading to more expensive power for people who cannot afford to generate their own power
* that solutions like grid-tied home PV instead of independent systems provides a better outcome for everyone in the area.
I don't think it it to much of a stretch to say that the article is advocating for, as you say, "a hybrid centralized baseline + local generation and storage."
You are reading that very narrowly. The paragraph is simply pointing out that solar power is cheaper when built out in a centralised way because of:
* economies of scale for construction and maintenance
* higher utilisation. They don't spell it out exactly, but it is pretty clear fro m the context that, "lots of self-generated power will ultimately be wasted", is eluding to a wider geographic area needing more panels to satisfy all demand when each house has an independent system, rather than being grid tied.
Sounds like as well as mandating limited on-duty time government needs to mandate pay for waiting time is same as pay for driving. This would reduce the incentive for drivers to drive more hours.
This is not so straightforward when drivers are paid by the kilometer. In such cases government could mandate minimum waiting pay rate is average equivalent hourly pay rate of driving hours from same shift, or such like.
