I feel like there'd need to be some behavioral analysis done before implementing this. If someone is illegally trawling, seems like they'd have no qualms with abandoning shredded nets overboard then becoming an uncontrolled &quo

This reminds me of this interview I watched 20 or 30 years ago. It was a guy (Canadian maybe?) who was developing a super cheap powered hang glider (for lack of better words) with machine guns on it. The idea was to make something so chea

Considering that heat pumps have a coefficient of performance of greater than 1 (meaning they are moving more than 2.6 kw of heat), no. You'd probably need 3 to 5 GPUs to get comparable levels of warmth.

I was in the HVAC industry throughout the 2000's. Metal thieves generated quite a bit of business for us. Thieves irreparably saw up condenser units to take the heat exchangers (copper tubing + aluminum fins). I can only imagine how

I think the concept of OCP is pretty cool, however I struggle to see how it rolls out beyond the hyperscalers of the world. I'm interested in how you could build a business around it.
