Oh, I've had my house inspected, air loss calculated, the small 30 square inch loss was reduced as much as it could be, insulation is as good as it get (triple pane glass with dual refraction covers), window covering in use in winter, energy efficient light bulbs, dimmers, very high quality and efficiency thermal pump for heating the house in the winter, yet I still manage to use over 62MWh a year. If natural gaz had been available it would have been my heating choice, alas it isn't available in my area. Oh, I also use an high efficiency wood furnace for the days the thermal pump switch to electric heating due to the temperature dropping lower than -15F (-27C)
Luckily, electricity pricing in Quebec is relatively low, so I end up paying less than USD 4000 a year for this energy. I live in a forested area (think coniferous trees higher than the house all around), and we spend at least 3 months with the roof covered in snow even with the high grade slopes. Anyway, the sun would not make it out much through the woods and the angle might not be best either.
When I built the house (2008) I checked for any kind of solar solution to have some kind of supportive capacity since I knew the area lose power 2-3 times a month. I ended up going with a generator; cost was less than a grand, and if using at full power it uses about 5$ of gasoline an hour. We average about 20$ of gasoline a year, except when Irene came and we had it running for 3 days (anyway, in this specific case the insurance covered it, along with the damage due to the flood and winds / tree felled).
If it could be efficient to run solar panel, I would. We don`t even have to keep a large battery as Hydro-Quebec runs a program where we sell our electricity for credits of equivalent kwh for when we need it. Produce a lot in the summer (up to 50kw of credit can be accumulated per hour), use in the night & winter, switch to the generator if the small battery doens`t cut it.
When it was initially annouced, at a cost comparable to a new roof, I would have teared down my current roof completely to replace it with their solution. But not for 10x-15x the cost.
No, they are not. They are only warranted for 30 years against water leakage, which is the reason roof tile are replaced in the first place. Which places them at a lower warranty point than my current roof tiles (35 years), at a much higher price. 9 years ago I paid 5K CAD, and Tesla is quoting a similarly sized roof at 43K USD, not including the powerwall & ondulator. They aren't providing the information about how much energy their tiles deliver anywhere I could find either, but I was also under the impression that we were told the roof tiles cost would be equivalent or lower than current roofs. Nowhere can I save that amount of money from the energy saved:\
Or take jobs that are not declared... end up making more than folks who work regular jobs due to not paying taxes plus getting free money! Wow that will work so well:(
I have a hard time understanding how it cost more. Those nurse should be taking a 25% pay cut, which should directly be applied to the replacement. Holidays / sick leave cost would also be proportionnally reduced, only the fixed cost not being affected (employer provided clothing / training ?). How did they manage to fuck it up ?
You certainly have your budget priorities backward. 11K for the video part and 5-10K for installing stuff, with only 4K for the audio part ? (2K for receiver is not set on either side). I'd go with a large OLED screen before any kind of projector, sorry. Lets start with the 65" LG C7P (yes, it's big enough. Just get closer, beside your rear speakers will have better results) at only 5K. Get 2 SVS subs for another 5K, then that 2K receiver should be able to balance out the issues with 3K worth of speakers for your atmos setup. Maybe a few hundred bucks of cables / adapter, and less than.5k on the blu ray player will give you a much better experience than at the cinema (I'm considering you already have better seating options)
'it looks like someone has been using your broadband connection to share copyrighted material' is what the ISP said; and it's far from being bad. We don't have the wording that the ISP received, but the information that the notice would have provided to the ISP should already have been known by that ISP, thus I find it hard to believe it would have any kind of effect on your reputation.
I'm pretty sure we could find somewhere in AWS data how much they are making a month with S3. They lost 10% of it just due to the SLA. That`s not counting all the engineers which had to fix things, improve system, move stuff around, prevent further failures, etc, at quite a lot of companies.
As S3 was down for more than 44 minutes but less than 7h18 (about 5 hours total), a monthly rebate of 10% is supposed to be applied to everyone`s S3 related fees for February. That engineer which pressed the DELETE button has caused quite a bill..
well, that`s also why they could not even mark their own services as down: the caching layer still had the latest version available, but it could no longer update.
Humm, indeed my friends and family is no longer representative of the kids building cheap system, and they tend to go with at least 1 GTX1080, or used to have 2 980ti, purchase large 4K tv or high quality monitor, or in my case I`m running multiple high resolution monitors. 1 or 2 1TB SSDs, one of them being m2 NVMe 4x, along with a large platter disk (or 2 for raid redundancy), 200$ on keyboard & mouse is a minimum.
Albeit one thing I`ll give you is that the price I was referring to was in CAD, but the +% should still match.
A lot of people are comparing the CPU price; if I drop +50% on the CPU I barely get +10% better performances! But they fail to take into account the fact that they are dropping 3 grand on the system, so that 200 extra bucks only represent a 6% premium for 10% better performances. I expect that`s what you did too.
Was this really a thing ? Years ago in college (~18y ago) we were asked to get up to infinity with only 2 4s and math ops. Having 4 just adds 4/4 * in front of the solution to make it to infinity
4/4 * log(4)/log(4) = 1
Then you add sqrt operators in front of the bottom 4.
I do believe that watching something you are not entitled to might be listed under copyright infrigement, but if you streamed a pirated video, you yourself didn't commit something illegal if my understanding is good (at least in Canada). So, 69% are wrong ?
If only, we would be paying our electricity way cheaper in that case... Since we export most of our production at a low cost, we end up paying 400% that price for our own usage. Way to go!
Don't forget that you have to stand straight for the glasses to work. If one of the viewer likes watching the movies lying on it's side, it's game over for the 3d effect. Then, there's the 50% brightness issue. Focus control and movement control isn't that bad and isn't something you have either on 2d movies.
Here you can pay 0.5$ less per gallon ( total savings of ~$8 for my car) if you are willing to queue up at Costco. Queue time routinely reach 15 minutes, and the fill rate is about 3 gallon per minute. Usually will only go if my wife is at Costco while 1 or 2 of the kids nap in the car. If we had a model X, it would always be recharging back at home, and the charge would be enough for every day except twice a year where we would have to charge it near our destination.. but then we could take the grand caravan for those days..

If they worked 25% less for the same yearly pay, then it's a 33% pay rise. Going back to 8 hours a day is even better!

That battery has been dead for years. I need to set back the time, hard drive type & cylinders on every boot sequences. Now, get off my lawn!
End to end land + boat transportation should take less than 20 days from Nevada to the South Africa location with the best shippers.

It's not damaging if it wasn't done publicly, which the letter you received wasn't. Unless you shared it on slashdot, but then you did the damage.

you insensitive clod!
that recipe is a good way to clean a drain, if that. Trying to pull that one out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?... ?
For infinity ? 2 4s is enough to make an infinite number of numbers, but not each of them.
It's not as if concatenations were needed. Logarithmic operation, Square root & divisions is all I need.
Was this really a thing ? Years ago in college (~18y ago) we were asked to get up to infinity with only 2 4s and math ops. Having 4 just adds 4/4 * in front of the solution to make it to infinity
4/4 * log(4)/log(4) = 1
Then you add sqrt operators in front of the bottom 4.
4/4 * log(4)/log(sqrt(4)) = 2
4/4 * log(4)/log(sqrt(sqrt(4))) = 4
Now, if you want to get 'any number' in between, use the same trick and the extra 4s to change the basis of the whole thing
log in base sqrt(4) / 4 of (log base 4 of sqrt(4))
log( log(sqrt(4)) / log(4) ) / log ( sqrt(4) / 4) = 1
log( log(sqrt(sqrt(4))) / log(4) ) / log ( sqrt(4) / 4) = 2
log( log(sqrt(sqrt(sqrt(4)))) / log(4) ) / log ( sqrt(4) / 4) = 3
just add as many square root operators as you wish. Not difficult, no ?
