Hi,

Can this algorithm scale smaller? I have an interest in small PV/Storage systems where the storage capacity is a considerable factor in both weight, space and cost, and PV is limited, but by all accounts from other people "pretty big".

I would like to know how exact this is possible given precise measurements of consumption over time for kilowatt sized systems.

I think you are a brave man, and have nothing but respect for the approach you take, which arguably is the humanist, rational approach.

It's an odd way to connect here, but your areas of expertise zero in specifically on a number of projects and concepts I'm working on professionally.

The idea that an ecosystem of applications and data exists as the more robust model is something I have been pushing for a while, and you articulate it so much better in what I've read in the last couple hours.

I'll be getting some more books for the shelf at work, so thanks for that.

I have thought a lot about this, and I have come to the conclusion that I can make both work given the correct life insurance arrangement. (I'm in the USA, it often seems easier to acquire high payout life insurance than quality healthcare)

The family gets some money, I get a selfish 1:zillion shot at reanimation, and everyone else around me gets to make jokes about popsicles.

In the grand scheme of things the cost of the trust and payout for one of the foundations is relatively small.

I hope this does not sound crass.

You sound pragmatic and honest, and I am very sorry to hear you are dying. Have you considered cryopreservation? Participating in that turns your 100% death to less than 100%. I can't promise anything though. This guy makes a better argument than I do: http://waitbutwhy.com/2016/03/cryonics.html

On the other hand you have small children and they are generally accepted as your primary shot at continuing your legacy, and that's your choice to know if the money towards cryo would be better spent as savings to your family's future.

I did not know about you until now, and I'd like to genuinely thank you for improving things during your far too short stay on this planet.

All the best.
