One house can be run on just 1 or 2 EV battery and 5KVA inverter for most houses.

Once EV batteries become cheap, I'll charge my batteries when grid price is low.

We can also argue that saliors who went on such expedition were not average people, they probably had funding and had resources which they could trade with others for sex.

Also, once they've reached the shore, they wouldn't want to bath after such a long voyage?

You are saying if sailors didn't bath out of habit not because of necessity.

what has half life to be with energy density?

You can see it in the current political party in power in India.

It never acknowledges any problem with their policies or nation or even its people. Atleast that's what comes from their supreme leader.

As a result lots of people have developed blind faith in this particular supreme leader and any criticism is met with "anti national" tag.

Untill now I had believed those were paid trolls and IT cell employs but my own relatives are not tolerating any word said against the political party so it seems all have been colored in the faith and belief of this party.

I wonder why there isn't a tinder like app where there are no photos but you ask for a price to meet and when you pay that price, then it opens a conversation channel where photos can be exchanged with single click and it's on you to see if you wish to accept or decline the proposal.

There are tons of fake people on tinder, who never show up. Payment will act as deterrent for these con people.

And dating app makes money as % of the transaction that occurs on the app.

And it never charges you without actually getting a "meeting" out of the app so experience is fair.

And if women are looking to meet man, they can also initiate and offer to pay.

Tinder sucks you can pay for Tinder Gold but it doesn't guarantee even a single date.

Judiciary has been captured by the part in power. Opposition can't do much other than being harassed by center agencies like CBI, tax departments and others.

>. According to article some government organizations deducted percentage of salary towards this fund by default. After some protests this default was reversed.

As we speak, the banner for PM Care fund can still be seen on the bank login page of Public Banks.

>Do you know a lot of civil service officers?

Not saying most are corrupt but my experience with customs department, tax department etc... made me realize how corrupt they are.

Which does not refute the point I am making because a few corrupt people are enough to take down the system.

According to reports, 1crore 70lakh jobs in organized sectors have been lost.

Middle-class is in no way lucky, they are overburdened by toll taxes, income tax officers harassing them, local goons not letting them carry on business, politicians and public servants asking for money.

$100 isn't going to do much. You think these people have no money but it's not the case - these people did have money, they lost it because the system is corrupt.

Many farmers have lands which they sold to pay for engineering degrees for their daughters and sons. Now there is no job for them! Your land is lost and the degree is worthless which you traded the land for.

The system is actually very insensitive towards such people and guess what? When these people struggle hard, clear all test - they go for robbing the nation with corruption and their justification for that has always been "when I was struggling and poor, no one came to my rescue now it's my turn and I deserve all the money accured through corruption" and it creates more poverty.

Poor people don't study to join Google or Facebook in India. They study for government jobs like customs officer, railway officer, Indian adminstrative service, Indian Police Service etc... all jobs where you can accure vast sums of money.

The amount of money these officers make offrecord is going to eyewater even westerners. In some cases, the wealth they posses rival even high end executives at Google and Facebook.

Most people understand and acknowledge this system. They know the only way to out is through it, they stay in system - stay hard, make connections then proceed to benefit from corrupt system.

Indians actually donated a lot of money from their salaries specially PSU sector workers but somehow the donated money is now a private fund.

For anyone interested read "PM cares fund"

Some people are also more attractive and they are able to capitalize on it easily, they are treated better etc..

You are just targeting one thing it's called inheritance, what about other things like "social network and connections which are passed to the new heirs in the family", beauty/atheletic abilities and other talent?

ah, yes i did. thanks :)

If you've a small load dynamo spins faster as there is much less force required to make it spin.

So frequency should go up, not down.

As the spin is directly proportional to the frequency

I use granite slab as my bed.

In winters I heat it from below using silicone temperature controlled mats.

Am I the only one who prefers flat and hard bed?

Granite is my bed and mattress.

They failed because the efficiency was theoretical and never tested before in practical terms on real cargo sea routes.

There is zero benefit of setting manufacturing unit in India.

Afaik, most of the manufacturing that happens here is assembly.

Unless your product is one of those mass market, multi million dollar revenue makers you'll be eaten alive by adminstrative costs.

I thought kbg archiver solved it eons ago.

Auto bed leveling sensor if it already doesn't come with one. Mine didn't come with one.

As for the printer, ender3 and ender5 are good budget buys, if you add a ABL sensor it's as good as prusa if not better while I'd argue my ender5 prints better than my prusa.

Here is the filament extruder I built:

You might find this interesting as many people end up spending thousands of dollars in filament and lots of wasted printed parts as getting accurate part takes several attempts.

I believe this is why Casanova survived to very old age. He was good at building relationships e even if he went from rags to riches to rags again.

>If so, as a society do we not see value in the fine arts?

Yes but most people are complaining that they have this degree and not making enough, so what's the solution? Make government/tax payers pay for these degrees who the salaries match that of guys in STEM?

>. The sad part of being in US (and other places) is that the depth is not valued. Trying college fees to ability to earn is an incorrect optimization.

Lots of people who studied with me didn't like STEM but they did it just because it will give them better salary and life. These people made scarifices, it's rediculous to assume that all people study STEM are studying because of some passion or enjoyment which they don't get from studying music or acting.

>When everyone needs to fight for survival, that reflects poorly on the state of things and it is more of a dog eat dog world.

There is no solution, we can't have our cake and eat it too. If you offer same salaries in both music and engineering, lot more people will go to music and other art subjects. Then who will survive market demand for STEM.

>Easy answer: because expenses are higher for poor people

As a person who mentors poor people, it's not always this..

Don't get me wrong, there are some poor people who are poor by choice. They usually don't feel like victim and aren't stressed about them being poor. They are pleasant to deal with as they understand the trade off they are making. They are very small % of poor people.

Here is the difference I see:

1. Reasonable well off people (many of HN crowds are this) are usually willing to listen and discuss the ways some project or work can be done better.

2. I've gone to offer same suggestions to poor people, a lot of them listen to me absent minded. They complain "I am too tired", "I am losing hope" while a few of them go back to doing drugs and drinking.

3. Poor people don't want to lose their "immediate" freedom. While well off people understand it's a temporary scarifice they are making, later situation will change.

4. Optimism, all the guys who came up with ideas and plans are now doing well.

6. Ability to form relationships and acquire new friends. I consistently saw the poor people who I was mentoring would abuse their friends (without realising), they'd call them "dumb, stupid" while having all evidence like "success, wealth, education qualification" which clearly showed the person giving them advise they are asking for is just trying to help them.

7. Coming from poor household, I used to think rich people are evil and all but I really figured out that a high proportion of rich people were just more attentive and good are forging connections which often continued life long and the benefits compound when you are connected to so many good people for so long this is what most poor people do not realize.

>Isn't a government bond basically equivalent to inflation? That would mean you have a risk-free way to get "inflation" returns, with the caveat that you can't access the money for a period of time

It's not risk free, there is nothing that stops government from creating inflation so they can pay off the debt for in inflated dollars.

Today, central bank alone doesn't have power to make create money out of thin air. Government guaranteeing loans from banks to corporate players and projects is creating inflation. It's good for politicians as they can pay off their expensive mistakes in cheap money.

Bank also makes money on transaction fees (both merchant and account holder side) which is something bank account owners don't make.

>80% this, 20% that" talk, while citing no sources yourself, is not a becoming way to argue your point.

That's normal distribution which is abundant in nature.

If you go interview few collage age girls, they'll will tell you:

1. I want to study

2. Get a job

3. Date between the education/career

4. Travel the world (she will not say travel with her boyfriend or partner)

5. Marry and have kid (most will not talk about kid or marriage at all) but a few will.

But realistically it takes a 20 year old girl atleast 15 years to achieve all that she listed. Most of the times it's not even possible for many of them.

That gives you age of 35 when they start thinking about marriage or kids. From there fertility doesn't cooperate with you and sometimes it even gets hard to find a commited partner.

But marriage and kid is the last thing on their list and the things that come before it are not easy, not feasible for everyone to travel world.

> $5k a month income would get you living like a king here (with in house nanny)

Comparing just dollar value of services is not of much use across countries.

It's like saying, interest rate in India is 6% while in US it's 1% why Americans are not putting their money in India. The info you are missing is inflation.

5k is not a lot in mega US cities and these guys will not move to some cheap city because they'll not find a job that pays that well and gives them ability to support such a high quality of life in smaller/cheaper cities.

I was discussing it with a friend who is pretty wealthy and entirely self made and I learned that...

The reason my friend is not having kid has nothing to do with economics of having kid.

He has plenty of money to support 10 or even 15kids based on the numbers some people posted on this thread.

Reasons why he does not want to have kids:

1. He dated like 5 different women, most of them confessed their love to him. But they were always busy at education/career, he lost interest in them and decided to shift focus to his career. After years, he found himself to be alone but successful.

2. After having achieved success, he didn't want to take deals where he could lose half of my income like alimony. It took a decade to build this much wealth, why risk losing it with marriage.

3. He needed love/support/care the most when he was younger. Now that he is much older, what's the purpose of all of that even if it comes to him now?

4. He told me that all the women who rejected him when he was young are now confessing that they always were interested in him. He told me that what people are attracted to do doesn't change, later in life they start supressing what they are truly attracted to for things that they logically want from others.

Not sure how many people can relate to it.
