Are you sure / do you have specific Japanese knowledge?

My gut assumption, not having Japanese knowledge, was always that the production needs of WWII incentivized their mixed commercial -residential system.

It does seem that a mixed commercial -residential system would work better with a conscientious of neighbors society, but the zoning itself is also key

It's a fun exercise in which I think you'll find polling to be fine for many Arduino cases. Not as much for raspi and higher level in my limited experience for various hardware reasons and overhead. And quickly when you do other stuff, especially blocking high level communication, polling does suffer. But interrupts exist and are a reasonable level 2 for people to learn.

https://www.mikrocontroller.net/articles/Drehgeber is an excellent article (in German, Google translate is fine afaik. Check the interrupt section


Randomly grabbed some soil strength (it varies alot), but a reasonable number seems 3000 pounds per square foot.

That puts your number at. (3k4010) / (16k*2.2) (estimating width of the 40 foot at 10 feet),

Uhh.. 34 containers. I think that's enough.

In reality you would be able to drive helicoil foundations or any number of things to change the dynamic. I agree the foundations would be secondary to the rest of the system cost in general though


I told my [family member] this for years she should edit her digital photos. She said, no, my 40k pictures are a retirement project. Then I said <<you'll be overwhelmed by that many photos>> and actually I was wrong.

AI photo stuff massively improved, and all her bad photos were very easy to sort in Picasa and bring down to a reasonable 5k or so photos to put into albums over few years of retirement.


Of course Picasa is one of Google abandoned projects...


I'm still sore about Picasa. while it was great to use, it lost a few years of photos that I hadn't backed up outside the service. Figured it was online and safe.


> Figured it was online and safe.

That’s a contradiction in terms.


Always been frustrated that this abstraction became so commonplace. It's not even like there's ever been a time in history where 'online' meant 'safe and reliable'. Marketing always wins out, I guess.


The cloud is just someone else's computer.


No, kvass and other 'fizzy drinks' are not kombucha

They get their fermentation from the air, ferment much lower, and do not rely on the skoby to keep it all working. On some level there is similarities, but its not the same


It's still "shroom in a jar". Kvass is made with yeast, which are fungi.


I don't think that is the same, because the ad is clearly not the video, as opposed to seeing the video while thinking it was the video forst


From my perspective since the ad cannot be skipped the ad is not separate from the video runtime experience behind the thumbnail - except in your reception of it.

Also another notable indicator of the coupled relationship between ad and video, being demonetized hurts the videos exposure.


I'm not sure, is Autodesk a good answer? Wouldn't they be in the business of design and perhaps not a standard company that shouldn't do custom? Maybe I misunderstood the point though!


I think it's an argument for adding just the number you need to compensate for the power loses

Otoh I think people are forgetting there's a point where the maintenance gets to be more


Old plants were often designed such that at peak production, they would saturate the grid connection.

If you re-power that plant with more efficient panels, your production will sometimes be capped by the grid connection. But it’s fine because you will have significantly higher production in the morning and evening hours.

This can make financial sense.

I hope they put the used panels on the second hand market, such that users with different economics ( home installs, countries with lower labour and land costs) can buy and use them.


Given that over 40 years they changed everything but the panels themselves, what maintenance?


Presumably "infrastructure around to maintain the farm" has some costs.

Land. Property tax. inspections. That sort of thing...


100% agree, but have never had $1k to drop like that on a backup dedicated to my PC ;p.


I have an Eaton 5P1150i that was about half that. It has plenty of capacity to run my NAS, webserver, router, switch and one access point for about half an hour. IIRC I paid around €450 for it.
