Or, they subtracted a digital elevation model from a digital surface model, ran a point-in-polygon match against an existing building dataset, and labelled the difference as the height of the building. No ML needed.
LinkedIn allows you to write a recomendation, after submission it goes to the other person to approve. If you want to risk a little of your reputation to support another (and your employer doesn't prevent you from doing this) then its an easy way to help someone out
Yup simple laptop sleeve with a good zip and a reliable handle works well for me. In case of inclement weather there's a ziplock bag inside big enough for the laptop.
That goes inside another thin bag for safe carry. If I'm visiting somewhere new and carrying other things, bag-in-bag works well; leave the day bag in the conference room, the thin bag with the laptop comes with me.
I stayed in a house in Rome that kept out the fierce summer heat, because of thick walls. AC would be redundant. In other places, like Hong Kong, the thin walls of the apartments need AC to remain liveable in summer. I've read about the lack of shade in many built environments. Seen TV shows where someone builds floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows in a location that would be below 0 for much of the year. Unsustainable construction drives AC use and greenhouse gas emission that makes the problem worse.
You maybe stayed in that house in Rome but didn’t live in it. I grew up in a 100+ year old stone and mortar house with almost 1.5m thick walls and relatively good window insulation. The problem is the thermal capacity of those walls. When they heat up during a hot summer spell it’s like living in an oven. You cannot sleep most nights during the summer. Something similar happens in the winter too, if you go on a vacation. The house gets so cold you need couple of days to warm it up again. When my parents installed AC it was heaven during summer.
you won't when the thick walls and all objects are radiating 30C heat at you
Most (not all) old euro cities don't get a good breeze unless they're built on the windward side of a hill because (generalizing here): the streets aren't a grid and everything is built to the same height.
plus the humidity is still there without aircon. 20C humid != 20C dry.
Glass windows can be surprisingly efficient insulators. Have you seen
multilayered argon-filled glazing? Or vacuum glazing? The best are as efficient as a triple-brick wall.
To a degree this is sensible, if someone is tailgating you and you need to perform an emergency stop there's more likely to be a collision, so you need to increase the space in front of you for more gradual braking.
