Hiii everyone, this is my first time posting here! I have read Hacker News sometimes but only thought about sharing my own post after seeing Manara's post (https://ift.tt/3uqZxu5 month. I asked them if I can share this here and they said it was a good idea. :) I’m a 19-year-old Gazan female who participated in Manara last year and got internships at Google and Repl.it.

I got lots of questions about my experience when people heard about it on Facebook so I wrote this blog post (https://ift.tt/3pONGm7) to let other young engineers in Palestine and the Middle East know how they can get into amazing companies like this too. If you are an engineer or student like me, read it and apply to Manara, they will help you so much!! Btw I have a few friends who just finished the Manara program and are looking for internships now so if you have opportunities make sure to talk to Manara (http://www.manara.tech). Ask them about Rula and Hend! :)))

We also streamline purchase, finance and install by selling directly to homeowners. You can place a preorder today at https://electricair.io . Heat pumps work by using refrigerant and a compressor to move energy against a temperature gradient. If you put 1 kWh of energy into a heat pump, you get 3-5 kWh of heating in your home. But this isn’t breaking the laws of physics because heat pumps don’t make heat, they move it around. The extra 2-4kWh gets absorbed from the outdoors, even when it is cold outside. The low pressure refrigerant in the outdo...
