It is an uncomfortable risk for many, to back a likely long term winner over a sure current cash cow. Even if their own estimates say they should go for it. See it all the time. An…

> a group of aligned people in the same physical working space will just dominate a similar group spread apart Hard numbers from 20+ projects over 20+ years say the exact opposite.…

> I think it is a joke that Standards change greatly with time and it is a joke to believe that applying the same standards to everyone will get a good outcome. Anecdata: I would h…

Somehow we collectively forget/ignore that coal power releases many times the radioactivity of nuclear power, and that is just dumped directly into the air. The numbers are not dir…

As long as the checklist catches more costly errors than the time to use it and the (very likely) negative secondary effects to critical thinking and innovation. Love tools that he…

I wonder about the actual numbers here, and how they vary between cultures, regions, age groups, etc. From what I see from my single female friends 20% is waaay too high. Not tryin…

> does not pencil out to replace the original windows Depends on the cost of energy and the interior comfort level you want.

I prototype in python or whatever, then, if the project survives into market and has legs I either buy more hardware or rewrite the expensive parts in C++. Reduces calendar time, r…

Do you have numbers of the percentage of people who do get motion sickness from vr? Perhaps 50% of the population not going vomity is a large enough market? Perhaps 10%? As devices…

Even in super socialized Sweden the first child costs around 180 000 USD (2021) [1] for the median example family. Second child is probably less expensive. [1] https://seb.se/priva…

Example of how much you'd have to "overbuild". Look at example temperature and incoming solar radiation around january - february. Graphs 1 and 3 [1]. And that's for Vantaa in the …

I know zero about twitter, but I have inspected plenty of organisations where strong engineering teams are drowned by management bullshit. even found places where most of the indiv…

> for doing nothing nope. plenty of stress, long hours, tons of work. just very little product output. often even negative output.

ymmv: if "the cause" has technical or scientific elements and you are a skilled engineer or scientist your contribution of 1000h/y work on target is significantly larger than donat…

Profiling code optimisation in joules is a fun and somewhat unusual task. Surprisingly it has come up both for the high end in a supercomputing project and at the very low end embe…

The "embodied energy" calculation is always going to be somewhat arbitrary based on what one wants to include. With more or less relevance. E.g: human rest power is ca 100W at ca 2…
