I thought the original post was satire - list all of the privacy issues, then throw in "Privacy <3" at the end. Seriously, almost every one of those points has a potential privacy issue.

Guess I was being too generous.

A watt is a joule per second - they are not directly convertable.

Good on you for including a written description of the image but... "picture of the actor Tony Stark"?

Edit: or are these descriptions automatically generated?

This is not correct. All commercial electrolyzers need very pure water as a feed to the system. PEM and SOEC electrolyzers use the ultrapure (industry term) water directly, while alkaline electrolyzers combine it with potassium hydroxide. Using sea water will very quickly result in non-functional equipment.

Which is great, but I'm sure your plant deionizes the water before using it in the electrolyzers, right? So the water is still being purified, just not by a public water plant.

I can't tell if these crypto people (comparing the energy use of banking to Bitcoin) are dumb, or if they think everyone else is.

Does your client allow sorting by controversial/score/down votes? I haven't seen that option, which on one hand I'm happy for (one of my self-destructive reddit habits) but is also sometimes is so satisfying.

Fair enough - thanks

If you're measuring the temperature in the room currently, you could try trending it yourself. Start the heater, and see how quickly the temperature rises (e.g., degrees per hour). Call this Rate 1.

Then turn off the heat and see how quickly the temperature drops. Call this Rate 2. For the formula below, make it a positive number.

Assuming the weather conditions are similar and the room temperature doesn't change too much during data collection:

Rate of heat loss = Heater power * Rate 2 / (Rate 1 + Rate 2)

This number could be impacted by the weather: temperature, wind and insolation (affected by time of day, time of year, latitude, and cloud cover). It's also impacted by room conditions (temperature, slade position, how many times the door is opened), so you'd need to do a few trials to get a sense for thr impact of different variables.

You've probably already thought of this, but your strategy is going to result in noticeable swings in temperature in the room, because ypure going to do a lot of heating at once when prices are cheap, then turn off the heating and let the room cool. Compare that to a thermostat that tries to maintain a constant temperature.

Sounds like a fun project - good luck! I'd love to hear updates here as you go.

It's not even close. Passenger cars crash so much more frequently than planes (and other forms of transportation) that the rates of death are much higher.

I'm not judging you, but to offer another perspective to anyone reading this thread: I am a parent of two young children, and have never not returned a shopping cart. I take the kids with me when I return it.

As a parent, I realizes that it's harder to do things with kids than without, but I go out of my way to not pass that burden onto others.

There are many ways our situations could be different that would make it harder for you to do this than me - your reasons are completely your business.
