I bailed on my Level lock after the second occasion where it was chewing through batteries at a fantastic rate on my new home and I got locked out due to battery failure - with no notification on the app. (I ended up installing a Knox Box type device the second time).

I ended up going with the Schlage Encode Plus. Works as a dumb NFC, accepts keycards, full HomeKit, Apple Watch, etc., physical key, and keypad.

Only thing I'd add is to try to get devices that can be flashed with esphome[0] for future-proofing. There is an onramp[1] for devices that can be flashed with Tasmota.

Also be very wary about devices that are not (verifiably) UL listed / CE rated, especially if the device is to be plugged into mains and tucked behind some furniture (or worse yet, installed into the wall). [According to internet folk lore] some of these can be grounds for being denied insurance coverage in the event of a fire or other damage [citation needed]. Personally, I don't mess around with random-china-devices and mains outside of the workbench.

Recent statements and speculation from FAA / EASA / Pilots suggests that the plane would've likely passed certification without MCAS: https://theaircurrent.com/aircraft-development/mcas-may-not-...

That said, it's true the MCAS was intended to address some comments from test pilots during development.
Sure. But there's no argument here. Me and others are merely answering your questions. You said above "I'm legitimately asking. I don't know." I'm assuming this was said in good faith.
They don’t need to beat OpenAI if they plan to play a different game.

The biggest question mark, like you mention, is how innovative can Apple be under Tim Cook? Are there systems and people in place to serve as those visionaries when the CEO is an operator at heart? I often wonder how much of what we’ve seen was in the pipeline when Jobs was still around, or is simply taken from what is popular in the moment vs having a vision for the future.

Why Platformer is leaving Substack
On a recent trip, I reserved a gas car, but at the airport they tried to give me an EV. I went to the counter and asked for a gas car instead, since the place I was staying didn't have charging, and I didn't want to spend my vacation figuring out EV charging for the first time.

I would've considered the EV if I knew ahead of time, so I could've researched the charging situation before the trip.
I'm writing this reply on a Surface Pro 9 - the hardware is underpowered but is also the only reasonable option if you need a tablet that runs a "real" PC OS. But MS has had a heck of a time convincing ISV's to make software for the platform - and even apps (like Adobe's Lightroom) that have tablet modes hide them away - so almost no one knows about them. iPads are better at being tablets, but can't run apps like Lightroom (the non cloudclown version) at all, so it's definitely a tradeoff.

For the last class I taught, I ended up using both the Surface and an iPad Pro (10"). The Surface was used in situations where I needed a full OS (as it turned out running VM's was part of that) and the iPad got used during lecture as it was simply superior for presenting slides with sketched overlays in real time.
Whether it should or not is a matter of opinion, but the law makes a distinction based on the state of motives of the perpetrator, and the consequences of their actions. Murder has a more severe punishment than attempted murder, and premeditated murder has a more severe punishment than spur-of-the-moment murder.

Most natural gas in the U.S. comes as a byproduct of fracking oil, which imo is worse than coal as reserve power because you have to maintain fracking sites and usually pump a fair amount of oil and briny water alongside the gas. Coal is easier to mine in small amounts afaik and has less local harms (e.g. water contamination, earthquake risk, etc.).
How my link blog works
"the Earth goes around the sun, so this is not what you see with your own eyes" is not an argument. The declared aim is to make Gaza unlivable, the actions match it. Including just turning off water, talking about human animals. And the destruction is not "regrettable", it's a despicable atrocity.

And then there is the IDF just going into civilian buildings, villages, rigging them up and blowing them up, singing about moving into Gaza and all that. The idea that it's only about military targets does not hold a drop of water.
Considering all the useless crap Discord is bundling into the app. They definitely had too many hands on deck. So much spam whenever you open the app.
Although, the sharing of useful information is different than an advertisement, entirely, so such a thing wouldn't be called an ad.

Wikipedia exists to share information and inform us of something we might find useful. It doesn't need to be pushed on anyone. It just needs to exist in the open.

Anytime something is brought to you that you didn't ask for, demanding your attention, there is motive behind why it's being done, be it a coworker pitching a tool to you trying to get buy-in and force a decision they want to be made in their favor, a flyer of sales happening at the grocery store that's delivered to your door on Sunday, or the blinking square ad impression telling you that if you just give up some of your money, they will provide you with a service that will make you feel like you're making progress on something (and then you'll convince yourself that's true even if it's not because nobody likes to admit they made a mistake and wasted time and/or money).

Ads are forced upon us, telling us something, and there is so much motive behind why it's being done, people will spend millions to make sure you see it. Even if it's just a tidbit of info, selling no product, whoever is motivated enough to pay a lot of money for you to see it, has motive to push an agenda which you seeing that info stands to benifet from. It's still manipulation. It's not possible to be ethical.

The only example of real world ethical advertising I can think of, would be the million dollar webpage. A webpage of pixels purchased to show an ad, that you have to willingly make the decision to navigate to and look at, and that website no longer exists, which proves my point pretty well imo
Yeah but the Tesla implementations of these features still suck. "You get used to it" is a shitty sales pitch. Basically any other car with these features has a better implementation. Tesla does it different but not better. It isn't a matter of familiarity, these designs are just bad.

My 15 year old BMW:

Has seat memory tied to the key. I don't have to fiddle with a menu to save the setting. It just... remembers.

Has steering wheel buttons with labels. Using steering wheel buttons and three fingertip-reachable and physically distinct stalks I can run my (intermittent rain sensing!) wipers, cruise control, blinkers, headlights, radio, and phone (which can stay in my pocket!).

Has an iDrive knob that controls all non-driving-critical features but can still be safely operated when driving. This includes the navigation system but also things like car settings.

Keyless entry where I just grab the handle and pull (this is one operation, not two) and the car unlocks. This works on the front doors and the trunk. It also works to start the car. No phone interaction required. The key fob stays in my pocket. In 8 years of ownership I have changed the fob battery once. There's a physical lock cylinder in the door if my key fob or the car battery die. I can lock the car with a touch as well.

Has physical buttons for almost everything (except car settings and nav). Seats (including heaters), mirrors, windows, blinkers (including hazards), head lights, cruise control, radio (volume, tuner, track, presets), dual zone climate control, hill descent, etc.

The Tesla isn't just unfamiliar, it is worse.
In, say, Germany, are employees bound to stay with a company until the conclusion of some contract, or are they free to move at will while the employer must retain them?

I think most people in the US arguing for employee protections are assuming the latter, but I'm curious how it actually works in Europe.
After that video, I think I finally get Github Actions.
As a young child with only the scarcest grasp of programming, I spent endless hours using ResEdit to crack open and customize every application on my mac. Every game and utility was filled with its own surprises; graphics I could edit, tables of strings to pore over, dialogs to rearrange, menus to customize, and so much more. I never had a manual, but everything was so straightforward and clear I learned everything I needed by experimenting. The entire experience was intensely empowering and gave me a wonderful sense of ownership and instrumentality over my computer.

The project that currently occupies most of my time, Decker[0], is a rapid development platform that can produce standalone single-file HTML "applications". The detail I'm most proud of is that every such app still contains the entire suite of editing tools: anything made with Decker is ready to be customized and extended by end-users.

Hey this is very similar to my story 2 years ago! (different company) It's only going to get worse, but protip: if you don't want to deal with the interview circuit like I did, set your salary expectations hilariously low and at least you will still collect income.

Good luck to everyone in our shoes!
This is something that was mentioned a year ago about the sales team ( at investor day ~ May 2023)

A year ago, underperformers were let go. Some people had almost no sales versus other peers in sales. There was the first round of layoffs that Cloudflare had.

They ( Cloudflare) expected to replace those underperformers with people that were let go of other tech companies. Since, if they could replace underperformers with average sales, profits would greatly increase.

Those that were let go, were part of those new hires. Either they were underperforming ( which would be the reason to be acquired to replace in the first place) or something did not go as expected. I expect the former.

Read the transcript here, in the section of "Profitability":

https://softwarestackinvesting.com/cloudflare-net-q2-2023-ea...

I just hope the metric is fair, but I wouldn't expect otherwise from Cloudflare.

One of the videos posted here, said she didn't have a single sale and most of the new hires were done ~ 1 year ago...
Why didn't they freeze hiring long before reaching the point of needing layoffs?!
For sure, they aren't hard rules. There is also the aspect that locations matter to some people. It's worth noting though that universities have a unique negotiating token, in that you can also negotiate for a job for your partner as well. I think universities are often forced into this because of the natural location constraints.
That doesn't appear correct to me. Compliance EVs always had horrid depreciation curves. That was because they were compliance cars. But even then, the Bolt has actually held value pretty well, especially recently. Tesla held value really well right up until Tesla started cutting the prices of the new ones. The same thing happens to ICEVs if you cut the price of the comparable new model.

You want to see depreciation? Go look at an Audi. The phenomenon probably has more to do with market position than technology. More expensive cars typically depreciate faster unless they are supply constrained.

Hydrogen could be viable way to do seasonal storage, it's generation reasonably efficient and can be stored in huge quantities. It's also a bit of a trojan horse for traditional energy companies
This may sound like random drama outside of media but there are newsworthy behaviors from Substack that caused this:

> In the end, we found seven that conveyed explicit support for 1930s German Nazis and called for violence against Jews, among other groups. Substack removed one before we sent it to them. The others we sent to the company in a spirit of inquiry: will you remove these clear-cut examples of pro-Nazi speech? The answer to that question was essential to helping us understand whether we could stay.

> It was not, however, a comprehensive review of hate speech on the platform. And to my profound disappointment, before the company even acted on what we sent them, Substack shared the scope of our findings with another, friendlier publication on the platform, along with the information that these publications collectively had few subscribers and were not making money. (It later apologized to me for doing this.)

> The point of this leak, I believe, was to make the entire discussion about hate speech on Nazis on Substack appear to be laughably small: a mountain made out of a molehill by bedwetting liberals.
Iirc - death to America and Israel, and a curse upon the Jews.
I don't think AI has much to do with it. The fear/expectation of AI, perhaps.

But the rest is definitely Fed policy; they specifically said they wanted to cool wages, and I think maybe in cahoots with shareholders - remember that guy bleating about google employees earning $200k+, and that it 'should' be more like $100k if they're lucky and BTW, give the resulting increased profits to us shareholders.
That we tolerate such monopolies in our generally capitalist nation really demands re-evaluation. Efficiency of scale does not tend to benefit consumers that monopolistic rent extraction detracts. Moreover, I think that any National Security arguments for monopoly control is such sectors is, on its face, weak.

> Employees are equally free to "screw over" companies by terminating their employment at any time; at-will is a two-way street.

Wow. I guess that might seem like a convincing argument if you totally ignore the power imbalance between a terminated employee who loses the ability to pay for basic necessities vs a company that loses the labor of a single person.

Change some distribution models and mediums of distribution, and it's the same cycle between content, brand, and customer eyeballs.

Which makes sense, as the key observation was: brands and characters are more valuable than content, but content creates and sustains them.

And you can afford more content if you have more channels to monetize it through. Which is the same observation Google made with respect to advertising integration, albeit just buying platforms instead of works.

> Nobody cares in the slightest what the next Star Wars movie will be about or how the IP is doing.

Of course nobody cares about how the IP is doing. That is for the corporation to worry about.

On the other hand people, individualy, will make up their mind about buying a ticket or not. There are many different things which go into that decision, but one of those is how much they enjoyed the earlier movies in the franchise.

Caring about the IP is the forest. And individuals making a decision to go to the cinema to watch the new star wars thing or doing literally anything else with their free time are the trees which make the forest.
It just seems so unnecessary though? Why is it done this way? One minute you're there working your ass off, next minute you're digitally frog marched out of the office?

It's odd.
Not OP, but I'd say I feel similarly if the EV were non-Tesla. If it were a Tesla, in the continental US, I'd be totally fine renting it. Superchargers are all over the place. But I'd definitely try to find a hotel with a level 2 charger, because that's nearly as convenient as charging at home.

Tesla uses Giga Presses to build the body of some of their models. While lighter and stronger than a body build of smaller parts, it also makes impossible to repair damages by replacing some of the smaller parts.

Don't know if the Tesla cars owned by Hertz are built using a Giga Press.
> If the US strong armed Israel into a cease fire and to open the blockade on Gaza, two things the US could do if it had the political will, this would stop the Houthi's from attacking ships in the Red Sea.

This is advocating that two wrongs can make a right, which I fully reject. The degree to which the human suffering happening in Gaza should be stopped is in NO WAY impacted by more malicious harm being caused to other groups. It only creates a situation in which multiple actors are causing harm to innocents - two situations that need to stop.

> They claim to be fighting against nations supporting the genocide.

Do countries in Africa support the genocide because they import grain shipments from America in order to have a food supply?

Yes, including on a state government website I recently used which responded with a patronizing "good job!" for submitting a form.

The inappropriateness of that aside, concealing a public sign message in humor is discriminatory to those who do not have English as a first language. To do so with pop culture references, there might even be a case for discrimination against national origin, which is in violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Not to mention it goes against the enormous amount of research and engineering that has gone into making those signs and typefaces legible and reliable.

It's not the same thing as Ad Council television adverts.
Agree. As asian in US I once told my colleague in office "What's the big deal about Star wars? Isn't it little clownish with funny looking characters spouting cheesy dialogues." And he was stunned into silence. Apparently big fan of star wars with all paraphernalia in his home office.
Patagonia and Google seem like, very very different companies with very different motives to me.

My daycare cost $1300 at 6 months and $800 at 4 years. A two bedroom apartment around here starts at $2200 (less if you live in different parts of town, but the daycare costs go down accordingly).

In our story, we were not able to get into the "elite" daycare that all the who's who of my city went to. That daycare cost $1500 - $1100 respectively. We ended up going to our daycare out of necessity which just turned out to be a really really good daycare, so we got lucky. But the point is the extra $2200/mo, as you noted, was part of my salary
It was a Siemens system, so PXC.
A big part of the problem in America is ignorance with regards to how the rest of the world does medicine/drugs. Europe, the UK, Israel and the rest of the modern world use blister packs that are harder to counterfeit than loose pills.

Here in the USA our analogy would be Marlboro cigarettes. It would be much easier to make counterfeit loose Marlboro cigarettes than to make a counterfeit sealed box of Marlboros. Buying a bunch of loose Marlboros from a stranger isn't something most Americans would do while buying a sealed pack of Marlboros anywhere from anyone is something most smokers would do as there's very little risk. People recognize branding and packaging and can tell if any detail is off even just slightly. It's incredibly rare for counterfeiters to get every packaging detail right to the point that it will pass visual/physical inspection.

America lags behind the modern world in our pharmaceutical tech.
Here's an example of a blister pack that uses a wide range of different doses in an easy to use package that would help patients taper down gradually to avoid pitfalls. In the USA this would require multiple prescriptions and typically just wouldn't be done. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11606-022-07862-1
