Russia just announced that they will be taking a permissive approach to future robots. Perhaps institutional biases are at work here @UW_STV202#H#STV202 https://t.co/z5rXymg9iD
@DanielZucchet13@UW_STV202 This is a very nice design, great example of environmentalism. Do they use alternative energy from other sources that isn't solar, in case of bad or cloudy weather (dark storms, hurricanes) as back up? #STV202#H
@UW_STV202 like Accra, some waste is burnt by kids to salvage parts, forcing toxins in the air. Repair shops can provide circular functionality by repairing electronics and provide reuse of products that may prove effective in third-world countries #H#STV202 Source: https://t.co/6xrJpIAOEC
@UW_STV202 E-waste is becoming a larger hazard as more than 20 million tons of e-waste are produced annually. Electronics can be placed in landfills, but this can cause toxins like lead, mercury, and cadmium to leach into the soil and water. In third-world countries...
@UW_STV202 from the amazing view and sunlight other residents get who are living toward the view of the lake. Perhaps adding a mirror design can help to bring the view of the lake and sunlight all around the buildings from any angle. #H#STV202
@UW_STV202 I think what would be really neat is if they could expand this idea to the array of condominiums on Toronto's waterfront, like the ones you see on the Gardiner Express. There is a lack of equality in which residents facing away from the lake do not benefit...
@UW_STV202 I'm pretty sure UW's housing has no match with the environmental design of BedZED. Most of electricity that is used probably would come from fossil fuels. Having very small windows ...
@UW_STV202 As a current student living at student housing, furniture is rented or borrowed as a part of the accommodation. After moving out, the furniture is reused by the next tenants, implying effective circular design. #STV202#H
BedZED is one of the first large scale housing development to achieve zero-carbon emissions. By incorporating solar panels, a downdraft gasifier using tree waste fuel, solar gain, and natural ventilation system, it's very sustainable #H#STV202@UW_STV202 https://t.co/dznpbhIkiK
@UW_STV202 a biosynergist/environmental method to reuse sunlight to distribute light to parts of the building that would otherwise be shaded. #H#STV202 https://t.co/0w64hPaJj8
@UW_STV202 The One Central Park in Sydney is a unique structure, housing a few sustainable initiatives including a low carbon tri-generation power plant and internal water recycling plant. Its most notable feature is its Cantilevered heliostat, which provides...
@UW_STV202 Tesla did the right thing. Although Google could be safer starting late, Tesla is "breaking-the-ice" to the world on self-driving, allowing it to grow and learn more rapidly than Google. Also, liability is still with the user as the Model S still isn't fully autonomous #STV202#H
@UW_STV202 Collectivism would be very appropriate for this situation. Tesla is risking the lives of a few individuals to produce a more safer, beneficial future overall for their fleet of self-driving vehicles that may be used for large populations (risk a few lives for many). #STV202#H
@UW_STV202 Yes you're right, I should have mentioned that. Public safety is also at risk because Tesla's 'tests' are uncontrolled and may be used by inexperienced drivers to the Autopilot. There isn't as much of a risk in Google's vehicles, because they began their tests long ago #H#STV202
@UW_STV202 toward users because Autopilot encourages drivers to be careless and distracted to any software bugs that may lead to a crash while self-driving. Despite trade-offs, I think Tesla will win for safety as they will be able to catch software errors earlier on than Google #STV202#H
@UW_STV202 tailoring their vehicle toward unique, real-life scenerios that tests of Waymo may not account for, proving a safety benefit and risk mitigation for Tesla products in the long-run. However from a short-term perspective, Tesla is much more riskier...
