OK, yes, building larger-molecule more-useful-stuff will take more energy, and I'll go with the first approximation that it's a similar quantity of energy re-input (some useful things less, some more). And yes, all that product w

Excellent points about visiblity, as long as you can keep it in that domain. But this always lurks in the near shadows: >>I’ve never thought of it being used maliciously, it’s for visibility. It would be a shitty manager that would us

Much smaller-scale, but I worked at a company with a mini-mainframe-type computer (VAX-11/780, iirc) that had a 'motor-generator' to run it (really a motor-flywheel-generator). The computer, storage, etc. ran off the generato

What you wrote didn’t really refute my point either. If management allocates time and resources only for a quick-&-dirty prototype not for public use, then releases it to the public with bad consequences, they will definitely ask the en

Isn't the point what level of safety? If management intends expected use to be a low-load-quick-and-dirty-temporary-use prototype to be delivered in days, it seems the engineers are not doing their job if they calibrate their safet

The other good thing about Option#2 is that visitors do not have to give you their mobile phone number (which they are doing by sending the text). Just because they are at your door for some reason does not mean they want to give up what ha
