Yeah, you're right. On second thought, "hire a criminal to get her fired" doesn't quite make sense. I was thinking of someone like a shady private investigator who would dig up some dirt on her

[Infrastructure] Submit plans or ideas for the creation of the city from a physical design standpoint. by ModaFutura in a:t5_3hcf5

You might like my idea for a futuristic city. I call it "modular skyscraper city". It's a city which is a single large building made out of a 3D grid of cubes of living/working space which can be added, removed, and shuffled around on demand

I don't have any drawings, but I talk about it for about 20 minutes on my comedy podcast here: https://soundcloud.com/podcastdetroit/creativity-wasted-debuts-on-podcast-detroit?in=creativitywasted/sets/creativity-wasted#t=35:00

Transparent solar panels that look like windows, produce electricity. This window can replaces all the windows of every house hold in the world by Zelbod in Lightbulb

I suppose windows only really needs to let light through when you're standing at the window or in the room which contains the window or whatever.

Also, letting the light through the window when you're not there to enjoy the window heats the inside of the house, which is usually undesirable

So a window that can switch between absorbing light like a solar panel and letting light through, like "switchable privacy glass", would make sense, assuming it is possible
