Carmack told Romero it was a pity he did not join him at QuakeCon this year. Romero replied he will definitely go to QuakeCon sometimes in the future because he loves QuakeCon and the community.
To me it sounded as if Carmack was talking about their relationship and Romero evading this topic. If that is the case, I really hope they will find a way to reestablish what might have been a friendship once.
There are many other tracking devices available. This is the only one that notifies the target. If one of those other devices had been used then this lady would have never known she was being tracked.
Modern heat pumps provide a lot more than 100% efficiency. I'd stick to the heating system unless those containers are doing something profitable (mining?)
Literally nothing provides 100% efficiency. You're conflating coefficient of performance with efficiency. They're not even close to the same thing, modern heat pumps reach their CoP because they don't actually generate heat, they simply move it around, which provides more heat indoors than if you had converted an equivalent amount of electricity directly into 100% heat.
Thermodynamics would not take kindly to you having a >99.999...% efficient anything.
> because they don't actually generate heat
Heatpumps still do use electricity(or other power), and all that electricity also ends up as heat. It's why heatpumps have higher CoP than the same system as a refrigeration cycle.

Well the cogen gas powerplants here can produce 50kWh of electricity from burning 100kWh of natural gas. I can use 50kWh of electricity to put 200kWh of heat into my house with a heatpump.
Seems like a good deal to me, and I think carnot would be fine with that.
Apparently there's a problem with the Guardian transmitter that causes the multiple calibration requests. Minimed is taking orders for free replacements: https://info.medtronicdiabetes.com/bgcheck
I switched to the Dexcom G6 though. It's amazing. I'm using it with open source closed loop pump software for iOS called Loop. There's also a Linux based solution called OpenAPS.
