To some extent drying clothes is generating heat (evaporation heat). If you're clever about it you might be able to avoid heating the (wet) clothes and rest of the contents of the dryer (or the outside!) too much. However evaporating water requires an incredible amount of energy, even if you just boil water away then most of the energy is still spent evaporating the water rather than heating the water, so it's not really too clear-cut that running a dryer hot is massively inefficient.

Edit: Also it's not that using lower-temperature water to convey heat is somehow more efficient, the thing with heat pumps is that they are more efficient at heating things to a lower temperature. If you're burning gas it doesn't really matter either way, you just get the energy out you put in.

There might also be a difference between a) You will be in pain for an hour, remembering the whole thing, and at the end of that hour, your memory will be wiped; and b) You will be in pain for an hour, but you will not form any memory of any part of that hour in the first place. It's the difference between saving data to a huge file and then deleting it, versus piping the data to /dev/null as it comes in. AFAIK amnestic drugs are intended to be closer to the second method.

Do not trust Foxconn. I strongly believe they're playing a long-term game here.

For example, the Foxconn plant is on a particular tract of land only partially within the Lake Michigan watershed. Anyone living within the watershed must return their water, and it must be cleaned up first. My understanding of the Great Lakes Compact is that Foxconn's land is one of legal ambiguity, that they may draw from Lake Michigan but not return it. I sure hope it doesn't mean they can bottle up Lake Michigan water and ship it elsewhere, but water is set to be more valuable than oil, so I bet they're playing it strategically.

I am thinking to adopt a SOM standard like Qseven or COMExpress etc. in the (a bit more far) future. What do you think about that?

And: are there any SBCs you would like to use except for the Raspberry Pi?

I feel the project outline is very idealised, without any much regard to how manufacturing will be done.

Massive component shortages are a life, and death matter for small companies now, and it's not only about IC shortage.

What we had in the industry for last 5-6 year is a chronic shortages, and interruptions of supplies of passives for example.

Redesigning entire power supply circuit, and re-layouting the PCB because one can't find a high spec capacitor? Happened many times on my watch.

Doing design is only like 10% of time one spends to manufacture anything, and because of that it's not rational to obsess over it.

For an enthusiast team, just getting anything, even a prototype run coming out of a factory is where 9 out of 10 projects stall.

People run out of the financial runway thinking the factory gate being the finish point... and then they get an email like "Please redesign all your design, and do it 1 week or loose the manufacturing time slot"
Water desalination and green hydrogen production using clean energy are already real applications and growing markets. The cost of the water is a function of electricity cost, investment needed to build the plants. So, being able to use cheap clean energy for that would reduce cost and make that more attractive.

With water, you tend to use the cheapest option. If you are in the middle east on the coast, far from rivers or other sources of drinking water, desalinating is pretty much the only option. Which is why that has been common for decades. With green hydrogen, what matters is the cost relative to hydrogen produced from natural gas. Both are dominated by the variable cost of the energy rather than construction cost.

Bitcoin as a green, or rather less hopelessly planet destroying thing, does not make sense because it removes energy that could be used for actually doing something more worthwhile.

I'll have to pay attention.

Veterinarians don't seem to have any color code, that I know of. Many don't use crosses (they tend to have cutsey animals).

The hospital near where I live has a blue cross at its emergency entrance, and a nearby urgent care clinic also has a blue cross, however, another nearby urgent care facility has a red cross.

I don't know of any pharmacies that have any prominent cross displays. They tend to have their own branding (which may or may not have a cross integrated).

Emoji existed since late 90s[1], just it was completely domestic to Japanese carrier intranets and gatekeeped hard that there aren't a lot of records remaining in the public Internet.

Japanese feature phone market was weaponizing lack of emoji support in modern smartphones to chase them out, but iPhone happened anyway and Apple started incorporating their own fragmenting SoftBank-iPhone-specific implementation into iOS so Google pushed it all to Unicode to fix them all up. They wanted to capture user emails into Gmail, and all emojis sent from featurephones being replaced with = by gateways was problematic.

That's a great point.

I guess I'd say that while we export a lot, we import even more. We have a trade deficit with all of our largest trading partners.

https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/us-trade-...

This is possible only because of the general demand for dollars. If the demand for trade with the US was based only on our goods and services, then we couldn't import as much as we do. If demand for dollars dried up, then our spending would be constrained and our quality of life would drop. So I think, anyway.
Could this technique be used to index images for search? e.g. intuitively, the triangles and their layout seem to preseve more unique information about the image than a grid would, kind of like Vornoi partitions, or an entropy preserving sample.

This isn't my area of expertise at all, but intuitively it seems like if you treated the triangles as a graph, you could sample a minimal subgraph from an image and then search for other files that have a similar subgraph. It's conceptually like "geometric hash."

Is that what this technique is for, as it seems to have more applicaitons than just an image filter.
Unfortunately, where it does present "key concepts and terms", that presentation is often flawed. I think it would be more useful as a guide to the field of software engineering if that's the only thing it tried to be, setting out a well-considered structure but then referring to other reliable sources for details. It could be a lot shorter and more accessible, and it wouldn't keep saying things that are misleading or incorrect.

I can tell you about a startup I worked in(EU)

So the CFO was the son of a guy that knew the guy that eventual became the angel investor.

So this angel investor invested 5 million, initially. Then he made us join his incubator with his other 6 startups. There he had other friends investing in these startups. So let's say 6 friends invest 30 million in 6 startups. And each startup gets 5x6 = 30 million.

Our total invst. capital reached 35 mill.

Here is my point:
One the Christmas party we had, we were having the investors there and they got drunk.

So you would think that investing this kind of money is a risk? Not when they mentioned they they make over 100 million each year. That is every year.

So for them risking %5 of their annual income, is not really a risk. Actually make their money back already there and then, since less income taxes + more write off tax.

So instead of pay double tax because they have more money the actually pay 1/2 tax.

I noticed a huge difference in how long my clothing lasts once I switched to hang-drying most things. It's not that huge of a hassle and saves energy and I don't have to buy clothes as often. I started doing a lot more hang drying after I bought a bunch of merino wool base layers I use for skiing (which can't really be machine dried).
Every state isn't doing this. Karnataka/Kerala are better in this regard than Gujarat/UP. These are among the states where I am directly aware of the information collection. It isn't just BJP vs non-BJP either, Karnataka is a BJP state. Some states have better infrastructure and better reporting, e.g. Kerala, which ironically makes things look worse because their numbers are more honest. Ironically, on a per capita basis, the best performing state is Bihar, followed by UP. For anyone familiar with India, you can draw your own conclusions.

I was a subpar non-engineering student at college, never exceleed in any academic pursuit.

Didnt know what i wanted to do with my life for career, ended up wasting 4 years of my life working dead end jobs, then transitioned into software engineering, much happier now.

I would reccomend you write down a timeline, how many years are you willing to study/attempt to become a X, or get X job, before you would be okay giving up with that goal and doing plan B instead. Work your butt off until that timeline expires, and then, if you gave your best effort, you can be proud of your attempt but it simply wasnt in the cards for you.

Sounds like you've already been able to get some interviews for the positions you desire.

if i were you i would set a goal to apply to many more desirable positions, consider widening the scope of what a desirable position is to you. I would set a goal of applying to ten internships/jobs a day, even if these roles arent the ideal positions, your interview skills will improve and maybe youll be able to set up a job/internship to train you/pay you while you attempt to improve your skills in non-work hours.

Sounds like you have a confidence problem as well, dont check IQ tests online.

I beleive russias economy isnt doing so great. I would attempt to plan venturing into EU, USA, or some other better job market post-uni, lots of people do that after uni because their home countries lacked opportunities! Both my parents did.

Best of luck!
I think you're placing too much emphasis on IQ / personality traits. For the most part, you can't trust that stuff You got an error of +-2std on your tests; that's not your fault, it's the test's fault. And failing a few interviews doesn't mean you're not "smart", I'm pretty sure everyone goes through like 10 or 20 before they find a job.

> The additional energy to create that heat doesn't have to equal the time saved.

Right, it doesn't have to, but it's also possible that more heat makes it take proportionally less time (or close enough, with negligible decrease in efficiency).

Obviously, yes, using a heat pump will use less energy than a resistive heating element. But the question is more about how much and how quickly heat is input (regardless of how it was generated) and how that affects drying times.
> I watched multiple fellow Googlers rush project work and cut corners in order to be able to "ship" and put the project in their promo package (and be frustrated when they missed promo)

This kind of confirms my point -- the committee isn't looking for "created a disaster area a month before promo packets were due". They want a consistent track record of success at the next level.

> They are not at all. Governments and financial institutions can lock funds, do 'hair cuts', as they did in the European financial crisis, and engage in other such shenanigans. They can debank or otherwise exclude people and companies from the payment system, or refuse them banking services at all.

All that is signed off and approved by the popultion. In the beginning the nascent financial system which today is labled "legacy" was the wild west as well. Then it was an organic growth of scrutiny because it was demanded by the population.
Every megasocial system such as US, EU, China...even North Korea organizes itself based on the population desires.

All those things aren't imposed from above by an omniscent and evil dictator or done in the dark, the Patriot Act is supported by the majority of the population, so it's all the rest.

People accept and embrace the government playing the role of policeman in the financial and capital markets.

You are the fringe minority, and frankly people in the cryptospace lack the pragmatism to understand that they are a fringe minority.

People who are the fringe minority should hide and find holes in the power of the controlling authority and USE THEM AND KEEP THEM TO THEMSELVES opposed to creating mega structures to invite and pursue those who sign off and approve the aforementioned authority. Such attempts will fail because the target demographics is totally onboard with the authority.

It might, but does it actually? Or does it use 2.05x energy to dry twice as fast, making the energy use difference negligible?

Edit: Consider also that the shorter you run the dryer for, the shorter you are running the (substantial) motor and fan, as well as less time spent heating the shell of the dryer and the air surrounding it.
So would microwaves be the way to go?

Yeah, I'd just say that tortoise and the hare comparison is flat out inapplicable here. In the allegory the hare gives up after an initial burst of energy and is eventually overtaken by the slow and steady tortoise. That is not remotely what is happening with SpaceX -- far from giving up, they're doing the opposite, and becoming even faster and more ambitious over time.

I think a different comparison is more apt here -- slow racers lose to fast ones.

If you have dryer it nearly strilizes everything you just washed with hot air.

I'm washing t-shirts in 40 deg and drying them in my washing machine with built-in dryer.

They come out a bit damp to avoid creasing too much. I never had them smell even though I was just unloading dryer into a huge pile of damp clothes and leaving them like that for a day or two to dry out completely. I even forgot to take them out of the washing mashine and found out few days later. They were still damp but didn't smell. I washed and dried them again though to be on the safe side.
