In 2022 I would have accepted $10 per sq ft if it ticked all the boxes. There's been a few spaces I kicked myself over not signing soon enough ($6 per sq ft, 3200 sq ft, large with ample power 480v with 600 amp service, concrete roof, dock door)

If you look on loopnet, the cost of office versus warehouse per sq ft is staggering. It's a large visual indicator of a bubble.

I've been looking for 1500-3000 sq ft for a light manufacturing space for around two years. In my area warehouse $/sqft is $5-7 a year. Office space is $13 for old and dated layouts. I have no use for that dotcom era conference room. I need 10 ft dock doors, tall ceilings, and reliable 3 phase power.

Buying land outside my metro area and building new is becoming the only option for me until this crash actually happens. Sprawling out of the metro would only bite me down the line because the labor market is even tighter in rural areas.

I've not been successful trying this with HPE servers. Most server fans (Foxconn/Delta) run 2.8 amp or higher. Not aware of any "silent" gaming grade fans that use more than 0.38 amps. That's not even considering the CFM.

This makes sense. Most of the Jetson/Xavier/Nano boards already use a Carmel ARMv8 chip. I just hope this spurs more development in ARMv8. Currently the majority of ARM is ARMv7 (smartphones and Raspi).

Currently anything Li-ion is around $1.50 per pound (Midwest US prices) to be accepted for hazardous waste recycling. This means it costs you the consumer to have your laptop battery recycled.

I work with a company that recycles older hybrid batteries from Toyota, Honda, Ford. Most of these are NiMH and pay $0.40-$0.80 per pound for the Nickel value alone.

So a NiMH hybrid battery is worth $50 for the core from a Prius, but a lithium battery from a Nissan Leaf would cost you ~$700 to recycle.

I think the repeaters would block out any of the mobile radios. So you could see the dispatchers easily, but the individual mobile operators (EMS, Fire, Police) would be hard to distinguish.

If the mesh was every Digital TV tuner inside a municipality, then maybe the mesh could triangulate position.

I've been setting up old GPUs for folding@home and recently acquired a Nvidia Jetson AGX Xavier for machine vision.

Currently I'm building a 6 camera rig using Raspberry Pi IMX219 or IMX477 cameras to create an ultra high FPS rolling shutter.

Applicant does not present live performances of a prurient sexual nature or derive directly or indirectly more than de minimis gross revenue through the sale of products or services, or the presentation of any depictions or displays, of a prurient sexual nature.

That's a strange way to exclude sex workers.

My biggest issue with the PH1 was the lack of cases. I work in an industrial environment where I need an otterbox or bulky protective case. The PH1 only lasted for a month before I dropped it on a concrete floor and cracked the screen.

Have you given any thought to encryption over bluetooth?

I'm thinking specifically about the DOD/ITAR material traceability market. They would eat this product up at $1 per label.

So the top of the line specs get you:

* 2.4GHz 8‑core 9th‑generation Intel Core i9 processor, Turbo Boost up to 5.0GHz

* 64GB 2666MHz DDR4 memory

* AMD Radeon Pro 5500M with 8GB of GDDR6 memory

* 8TB SSD storage

for $6099USD. I wonder how it will handle the thermals.
