Either HN re-organizes the whole system so that "nothing can be lost" to the careful user - maybe in an encyclopedic txonomical tree -, or threads will be lost. This Solar powered etc. initiative is new to me, for example.
I don't care how often it's reposted (within limits), this is a really cool site. Stuff like this needs more exposure.
The funny thing is that every time it's reaches the frontpage, the HN rush will probably cause it to burn through the battery quite quickly.

Thankfully it's very sunny right now in Spain.

Still puts a smile on my face every time I see it posted.

I'm one of today's lucky 10000, so I really don't understand why people are complaining for something they last saw 7 months ago.
I believe it has also come up a few times in other forms. There was a post about the use of dithering, then another post in response to that, and so on.
