I'd love to take credit, but Kickstarter was actually started by CEO Perry Chen, along with cofounders Yancey Strickler and Charles Adler. I joined the board about eight months before launch, and later came on board as CTO.

Andy,

I think you were right to be put off for every reason listed and then some. The purchase button clearly asks for donations and that is breach of ethics unless every penny is donated to the cause (no matter how many disclaimers are tossed up).

Fifty percent also flies in the face of an acceptable administrative cost. It is very literary stealing money out of programs that need it.

Best,
Rich

IPC’s new MDM system will enable IPC to analyze hourly data that will also improve the company’s direct load control during prolonged, hot summers.

While coincident agricultural irrigation and residential air conditioning lead the summer peak load, residential air conditioning is causing the peak to increase faster than the base load.

The move to AMI and MDM will enable IPC to use dynamic time- and price-variant energy pricing based on hourly consumption data to create advanced pricing programs. It will be able to raise its rates during peak-usage times so that rates can remain lower in general. Today, IPC spreads energy price spikes over the entire year and bases price adjustments partly on last year’s costs. As a result, no timely price signaling or direct motivation to conserve during peak-cost periods exists.

It is quite sad to see such disasters. Just think of the plight of the passengers and those trapped inside. I really feel pity for them. May god bless them.
