Imagine if the walls were thin resonant panels and every time the Captain says "make it so" it will reverberate and sound like a commandment from God !
I am such a masochist that I actually click those buttons. If it's good, great, if it's shit, I have time to adjust before they foist it upon me anyway
Life is a series of lotteries. Where you're born, how wealthy your parents are, what genetic endowment you receive, what environment you grow up in. You have to win enough times and then you get a shot at a happy life.
Is it fair? Not really. Most people lose. I also lost. But, such is the reality we live in.
Realistically, policy is the outcome of the political process. There is no single optimal policy because what's considered 'optimal' depends on what you want to achieve, and these goals will vary across individuals or groups.
Some people don't want anybody to come in, others want just the brain drain but nobody else, others want cheap unskilled workers, others want open borders. And this is just a small sample.
1. We want to do brain drain to remain a leader in science and technology.
2. We don't want immigration and we don't like immigrants.
3. We can't discriminate based on where you come from, that's racist.
So let's have H1B (satisfies 1), but put a cap on it (satisfies 2), and have a lottery if the cap is exceeded (satisfies 3).
There could be a better solution for reaching these goals, you could switch priorities, cancel H1B altogether, or lift the cap, or have stricter requirements, or separate caps per country of origin, or per sector, there are a lot of options.
I agree - we need a large example not the toy examples of NeoPixels chained together.
Also, in the Github module library, I found only ESP32-C3 modules but the hobbyists use ESP8266 and ESP32 and ESP12-E as well as STM dev modules...I suppose its one of those things where contributors will help populate the library but I don't see instructions on how to build all the artifacts I see in the library - there are atleast 12 artifacts for each module...
Tesla panels and total price after installation is too high to be competitive- only the Powerwall enthusiasts buy panels+powerwalls from tesla.
Other panels are so cheap these days and EG4 makes excellent power storage options.
You can do this if you use an approved third party installer. I just installed a large solar array with non-Tesla panels but using two of the latest Powerwalls as inverter and storage
Interestingly enough, Powerwall is the only product I know and heard of, which can do grid disconnect and reconnect out of the box.
Unfortunate for this particular product (i do not like tesla anymore), i also never heard anything about it after that one Musk presentation infront of a house with tesla roof.
But if your ecosystem is Tesla (before Musk), the synergy would definitly be very nice.
'Just because' lucky enough some people do not mind investing money into beauty.
Powerwalls have been a huge disappointment for me so far. It gets pretty cold where we live but the Powerwalls are installed in a somewhat insulated garage. However in winter it gets cold enough in there that they need to use their own power to keep themselves warm, so they drain themselves that way in just a few days if there's no solar charging. Similarly, when the solar generation is high they need to cool themselves and that uses power. Our utility doesn't allow grid charging of storage. So all together I have relatively hope we'd actually have much backup power in an outage.
