It seems like the "connections" aspect is spot on, especially if you are considering founding a startup (and also seeking funding). That said I've certainly met and worked with engineers with degrees from prestigious institut

Batteries have different discharge curves, influenced by many factors such as chemistry, age, etc. Often "packs" of cells are balanced in an attempt to minimize variance. Something tells me your 10kW "wall" may not perfo

If the presence of the word "female" in the title prevents males from reading it then, in my opinion those males are being dismissive based on gender. I believe that's a bit sexist. I also believe it is a ridiculous generaliz

It is laughable to assert "half of the viewership" would be male when they make up the majority of the workforce in engineering roles.

Yes. This. Most of my career was in electrical engineering and electronics design. Until one month ago, after finally transitioning into a 100% software role with a 100% software shop after 15 years in tech, I work with a female engineer. 1

How silly! I love the tinfoil hat account of office thermostats. When you retrofit a controls system, based on my experience, it's not uncommon to leave existing fixtures and wiring in place...disconnected. It's not a conspiracy,
