Yes, it has a lot of nice features, but the monthly subscription price is simply way to high for me.

Because the cultural ignorance you are showing is annoying. There are vastly more people speaking english in the world than there are US Americans. On top of that: Most of the Americans are speaking spanish and portuguese. America != US Ame

Actually no. Saying the internet needs to make money is just as wrong as saying the roads need to make money. The net is just an infrastructure that has to be maintained and paiyd for. "Making money" is absolutely not a neccessety

Those who are missing issue tracking with this approach might want to consider using Fossil ( https://www.fossil-scm.org/ ) which includes a wiki and issue tracking in one simple DSCM system.

Well, yes and no. If it leads to you using more secure passwords than without, then in theory you'll have higher security.

With the temperature level of a datacenter you can easily operate a heat pump with a COP of 5 to 6. Or mix in the CHP to raise temperature level to motor exhaust levels. Use the electricity for the datacenter. Lot of potential.

Why dissipate the residual heat into the environment when you could use it for residential heating and/or heating of green houses. This concept seems to be a design for waste of resources to me.

Node-red also has a lot of connectors, from messaging eco systems to databases and is very flexible. If you hit a wall to the available node then you can always hand code Javascript in a function node. The Raspbian Distro comes with Node-re

The book "A pattern language" by Christopher Alexander might give some good ideas to achieve this.

Yes! I would love to have a research greenhouse fitted with this tech. Thumbs up!

Does light in other wavelengths pass through with little transmission losses? Then it might be an elegant way to cool green houses in the summer. Yes, they can simply be vented, but it makes sense to keep them closed in order to keep CO2 fe

Saving money for future investments can be done with a so called Ansparabschreibung. This is a depreciation for an investment in the future. If later you decide not to invest you have to dissolve the Ansparabschreibung and then you have to

Maybe I missed it skimming the Kickstarter project site, but is this going to be based on some self coded platform or is he going to use a well established platform like StatusNet/GnuSocial ( https://gnu.io/social/

Totally agreed. Calories from the fields and acres and variety, vitamins and other nutrients from CEA production. BTW: I'm following your BA media streams and I'm curious about the coolbar lights. Do you have distribution in Europ

Unfortunately aquaponics and vertical farming are often advertised as "the future of food" with bloated claims of yield increase. While controlled environment agriculture (CEA aka greenhouse farming) does have increased yields and

Ok, I was not aware that there has been a lot of progress on reducing transport losses in the electricity grid over the last decades. Thanks for the heads up! But even taking this into account area efficiency of direct sunlight compared to

Tomato production in greenhouses is already vertical if you consider that the plants are grown up to 6m (20ft) high. The plant length at the end of the growing period is roundabout 15m-20m (50-65ft), since the plants are treated in a way th

by jsilence 10y ago
Except what you say is not exactly true. Transportation losses for electricity are roundabout 25% - 30%. For a good comparison it makes sense to compare area efficiency. Plants in green houses can use 95% - 97% of direct sunlight depending

And the cars are anything but boring golf carts. A stigma electric cars have had for a long time. These might even get you laid.

The german term "Stromgestehungskosten" is a well defined standing term for the price you have to pay for power generation. This price has come down to 5ct/kWh and the estimation is that these costs will be undercut in the up

Depending on the type of cell and on the type/severity of overcast, power generation might even be better than that of bright unhindered sunshine.

Totally OT: I read "Einsteins graffitti" and could watch my own brain trying to make sense of the sentence. And fail.
