Why are there kids from the abandoned house?

Okay, that’s the answer. I don’t have a problem with having an eclectic library.

Couple of questions about the directory structure: why separate library folders? Can’t they play off a central library and wouldn’t something like Overseer take care of requests?

I think i figured it out : not the longest, but if they mean that the span is 3.3 km between towers, that would be the longest span, but not total

It makes me feel a little better about myself seeing the New York Times communication department make a typo in a post

They only owned up after lying and obfuscating for years. California said they work with manufacturers when they are out of compliance, but brought their lawsuit because VW wouldn’t cooperate

About a month ago, almost the whole city (northern Germany) lost power for about forty minutes. My signal was down to an unusable edge connection. I really don’t know what the rules are

That’s what I meant, the device is directly next to the heat source. It’s never going to be accurate. And you can tell in the way people use the two systems. In Germany, people don’t think about our check the temperature of the room or what the dial is set at, just, I’m cold, turn it up. In the US, the room is set to a specific temperature and just left alone except for day/night, home/away.

But, anyway, the comment was about how they wouldn’t work for Nest, and that’s true. You’d need a third party solution. It would be hard to sell these and then say, hey, by the way, you can’t use it until you go out and buy something from someone else and install it

Yes, but they are not electronic and they don’t reflect the temperature of the room like a wall thermostat does.

TBF, over 15* in Germany I’ve only seen a couple of actual thermostats. The vast, vast majority use a valve on each radiator. There are electronic solutions for the radiators, but sticking a Nest on the wall is going to do nothing for someone unless the customer installs specific hardware that the Nest would have to support

*edit : years

I don’t know. I go to news portals or aggregates or feeds for news. Do people actually just type “news” into Google? I suppose for specific events, but I could actually see it being true that news searches weren’t making up much of the activity. The way it’s going to be is subscription based or publicly funded for anything worthwhile

I think it’s problematic to require an organization to do something and then charge for it. It’s one thing if they do something of their own volition and then are required to pay

I think they’re setting up to negotiate not paying. I don’t think people should depend on Google to provide a social good at their cost

This was more a stunt because France is demanding Google pay to link to news sites. It’s the opposite of whether search engines should be required to list them
