Perhaps the same reason people get upset when a gold medalist is discovered using enhancers. The goal isn't just to publish a great story.

And the S stands for security.

We have RIoTS already... two more letters and we get a Scrabble.

If we'd had RIoTS this stuff might've already been fixed.

I feel like a lot of the problems in our world would be fixed by RIoTS.

I'm not saying it's not bad in the USA (because it is) but if you think there's no corruption or bribing in EU politics then I don't know what to say.

Although both continents are presently losing themselves to fascism, quantity still has a quality all its own.

You're on the right track but instead of losing themselves to fascism what you should more accurately be pointing out, in my opinion, is that in general societies are becoming a lot more open to authoritarian ideologies, whether that's communism, fascism, or similar.

> How long do you sit in a bath?

The entire point of a bath is to relax and soak in it. Otherwise I'd just take a far more economical shower.


Interesting that that's a feature of the water heater and not the tub. It has to travel through the plumbing all the way round-trip to the heater? You must have isolated recirculation plumbing to deal with the grey water, yeah?


Typically Japanese homes are laid out economically so the bath is right where the hot water heater is. In our house from the 70's it's probably not more than meter through the wall to the water heater. Even in apartment buildings, typically each apartment has it's own tankless gas water heater on the outside wall of the building so it's easy to meter usage separately.


That is what I always see in wet saunas/bathrooms around me. The bathing room is a main feature so things like main plumbing and water heaters are all placed around that to keep it simple. Recirculation additions after that would then be two simple connections off the back of the tub, probably near where the faucet goes.


Technically, you could also just pull refrigerant lines from the heat pump to the bath tub - you probably already run those to the indoor AC units you have in different rooms anyway - or connect the bath tub to the hot water lines you run to the radiators. Both imply a grey water heat exchanger built into the tub.

Depends on setup, of course. If there's a central AC blowing hot/cold air through ducts, you're stuck using a grey water loop. But it is the least attractive setup...


Every time they try and do this, it fails. The math is very much against you with converting energy this way and obviously they haven't solved that.

This seems to be a huge investment to make just to try and market the same technology but better this time.


If future jobs are simply reduced to liability scape goats (or more appropriately reverse centaurs) for management to pin things on then I'm taking up goose farming.


I'm afraid you will be pushed out of the goose farming market by these new ultra-efficient farming bots.


That's more-or-less what you are now, especially if you work at a company like Meta where 1) the guy at the top holds majority control of the company's shares and 2) keeps making massive, expensive mistakes either by accident or design.


I hope you're right, but forgive me if I don't party yet. I thought the same thing two years ago.


> Selling devices with GrapheneOS is planned but the details and timeline aren't worked out.

I hope they get worked out in short order. I'd love to buy one preconfigured if for no other reason then I'd like to show my support.

It also shows more of a commitment by Motorola. Harder to suddenly forget about providing you with what you need if they're selling gOS preinstalled.
