You are the one making zero sense since any euro invested can only support that one activity you're talking about. You can't invest the same resource into multiple activities.
In economy, you always start with the activity that has the highest marginal product. That way you maximize your output for a given amount of inputs. If you're serious about environment, you start with the worst offenders. Even if Europe paid for the cleaning up Asia or Africa, that would probably be still the most beneficial scenario.
What if the NN (presumably with proper tools) helps you find those variables more quickly? It could still be worth to use it if it saves you some thinking time.
chances are any human directive will be treated as that by the neural network - another signal that is larger/more salient because it is input by a human.
So you're basically saying the system will be unable to detect the explicitly fed-in bias.
The different moods -- surprised, sad, antipathy, angry, happy, afraid, neutral -- are recorded and averaged during each class. A display screen, only visible to the teacher, shows the data in real-time.
I would have thought that the students' faces themselves show the data in real time; does this mean that even Chinese teachers can't recognize Chinese faces?
So far, the answer has been, China, and that is in large part because of the Chinese monopoly on highly concentrated rare earth ores
No it hasn't; rare earths have absolutely nothing to do with solar panels, period. (I might have heard that maybe some solar panel glass manufacturers use trace amounts of cerium to improve the glass quality, but that's not strictly necessary.)
If I wanted to get a PV system, I could get a 5kW system for $5k now, but I've done the sums and even at that price it's still not worth it considering our usage profile - the sun isn't shining at the times of year when we use the air-conditioner most: in the summer evenings when we come home and in the early mornings and evenings during winter. We only use it for a few months of the year as well.
It would be awesome in the future to have a heat storage option for AC units. In one cycle, you remove heat from a buffer when there's cheap electricity, in another cycle, you cool a room (by using its heat to warm the buffer) when you need it.
Also, don't even mention batteries. Tesla has the best pricing, but it's still way too expensive.
Considering lifetime costs, I keep wondering if the assorted NiFe battery manufacturers actually don't have the best pricing.
Despite the belief of some, the US is not "the rest of the planet" after the UK.:-p Meanwhile, even in Central Europe, prices around $0.55/W post-tax are not unheard of. Hardware costs are not really an issue anymore.
It's been concrete knowledge for longer than there's even been concrete.
Since the oldest concrete I'm aware of dates back to 5600 BCE (McNeil, An Encyclopaedia of the History of Technology), this would mean that this knowledge is probably older than residential buildings in stone.
what's the average temperature during the summer where you live?
Does it matter above 30C when the health recommendation is that the temperature difference should be around 7C max? The heat flux ought to be a function of temperature difference, not of absolute temperature.
Cities tend to have large apartment buildings, large apartment buildings have a greater volume-to-surface ratio than individual houses, greater volume-to-surface ratio decreases thermal management energy expenditures per inhabitant.
A 10m x 10m room x 2m ceiling requires 12KW to cool it.
Seriously? Where, on Venus? Or using American "insulation"?
As of January 2018, the average cost of solar in the U.S. is $3.14 per watt ($37,680 for a 12 kilowatt system).
Get lost. This is not about the mind-bogglingly ovepriced US residential solar. Even in Europe, you're somewhere around $1.2/W today. In the developing world, you're practically talking about hardware costs, which are below $1/W for both panels and an inverter (or perhaps just $0.4/W for the panels, plus structures and labor, if you happen to have DC equipment).
That would buy 437,500 KWh of electricity in India
Except for the time when everyone's AC turns on and the notoriously unreliable Indian grid breaks down. So basically it isn't there when you need it most. Not to mention that the utilities can build a large system and then have you pay for it in those $0.08/kWh. Seriously, it's their cheapest option by now anyway.
The highest prices I can find are in the $7 range.
Did you adjust for purchasing power parity? For example, in Croatia, relative to the average income, gasoline is about nine times more expensive than in the US. In Poland, about seven times. In the Czech Republic, about five times. So the worst gasoline prices in Europe feel to the natives very much like $20 gas would to an American.

I am saying no such thing and you should learn to read.
I'm not talking about heating, though, only about cooling.

They'll just eat like Comporellonians do, with disposable gloves. ;)

So maybe recalibrating the whole thing so that the predictions exhibit minimal error compared to the outcomes is perhaps an option?

Larry, maybe you should have a talk with your overly aggressive salesmen instead.
The US military spends $20bn a year on air-con. This is more than NASA costs to run.
That kind of thing tends to happen when you run your air conditioners with $200+/US gal convoy-delivered fuel.

But he's right, people with Red Hat or Debian are superior to people with Microsoft.
or some sort of natural means of cooling the home.
Architecture can be pretty cool!
That is obvious, but it is not the claim I was responding to.
Thank Go weaning me off ruby's eval().
That's because Google's motto is "Do no eval".
As for "manufacturer to the world", I'm not sure what this is.
He probably means how baby boomers moved the manufacturing to China...
Baby boomers: The transistor
Amazing! They did such an amazing invention even while still being toddlers!
