Energy Efficiency is in our daily invention habit



 Energy efficiency comes with a whole range of benefits and opportunities: from health to finance improvement.

We do not have to be inventors or actors to create changes towards a greener planet; we can start by buying a plant, avoid putting extra water to be boil  in the kettle, take a shower 5 second sorter and we will be improving.

There are many thing we can do but we do not even think about them. People get electric cars, what about to get a bike?.  Biking is a good way to avoid jams and do exercise.

Energy efficiency can be achieve by many ways. For example with the housing election, a house could be far more expensive in energy terms that a flat and also the area is a key points. If you live in an area where you have to move to go to buy, to take children to school, go to work... then you have to expend energy and time to shift.  I am not sure it is well known the fact that cities allow for huge savings in energy terms.

Also the recycling of things, the second hand market is a huge way to both save and recycling. By using imagination we can give other uses to objects (for example I am using cardboards boxes as furniture in some part of the house). I have found that a lot of people do not like to buy second hand objects, however they usually cost a fraction of the initial price and in many case they are just slightly old and deteriorated.

There are many ways to avoid wasting not only money but limited resources and need to open our eyes and be creative to give other uses to objects.

Making MongoDB remotely available.

Imagen
Summary Here I show how to make your MongoDB accessible from a different server / computer/ instance, without using ssh. Motivation I have been using MongoDB to store and query some databases. This databases has been shared with other people and in most of the cases I have managed to use it as localhost or using ssh. However when using Docker it is easy to run into problems when using ssh. It is common to access other databases such as MySQL. For example in to use MySQL in Python you could have something like this: import pymysql.cursors # Connect to the database connection = pymysql.connect( host = ' localhost ' , user = ' user ' , password = ' passwd ' , db = ' db ' , charset = ' utf8mb4 ' , cursorclass = pymysql.cursors.DictCursor) In the same line you could query your MongoDB using

Reflecting about SIR models and some examples

Reflecting about SIR models  and some examples Feel free to send me you thoughts either in comments or here . This only reflect my personal opinion, none of my employees at any time. Summary SIR model trendy, but they also have some caveats Looks like in Europe and the States the peak could be reach between May and July, with different amount of population affected by country given different policies implemented (so the model need time to incorporate that effect). Potential limitations: Summer could reduce prevalence. Data limitations, brief discussion below. But we are learning about Covid19, we did not have enough tests and so on. Intro After massive disruption for Covid19 everyone is concerned about what is going on and how this could evolve in the future. Massive disruption has occurred and all of us are noticing the consequences (such as compulsory stay at home measures, terrible amounts of deaths and so on). All of us want to help a bit and trying to

Adicction and Decision Making: a brainy view.

  Why is this interesting? To answer questions such as how can we understand addictions within our brains? Why are people more affected than others? Is Decision Making relating to Drug addiction? In Bechara 2005 the following similarities between pathing with VMPC (see below, related to the decision making areas of the brain) damage and drug addicts are pointed out : often deny, or not aware, that they have a problem. When faced with a choice that brings immediate reward, even at the risk of incurring future negative outcomes, including loss of reputation, job, and family, they appear oblivious to the consequences of their actions. The above points out that there are similarities. How could define willpower in term of geography in the brain? Willpower as proposed on Bechara 2005: “... willpower emergers from the dynamic interaction of two separate, but interacting, neural systems: and impulsive system, in which the amygdala is a critical neural structure involved in triggering the affe
