War is not terrorism.

Realistically people would just leave their AC on. So this saves energy, rather than changing comfort.

I have two of them, and I just checked and both are quiet. Mine don't connect to WiFi unless you go through an entire process first with an android phone and Matter.

It's great having them on WiFi - you can turn on the AC before getting home to pre-cool, without having to leave it on all day.

They wouldn't see it until they opened it, so clearly they didn't open it because of the book. And if they need to open your suitcase (not because of the book), they have a reason for that.

I think that depends on if they distribute it with the install package, or if they download it once installed.

True, but the limiting factor for plant growth is sun, not CO2. And when they have full sun the limit is how fast they can absorb it.

So far as I know plants are not limited by co2 absorption, so adding more doesn't really help them.

Doctors make mistakes pretty much non-stop, and they are rarely held accountable because the system as a whole works OK. AI makes less mistakes than the doctors do (I read a lot of medical notes).

He specified "terrorists", See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49340403 for actual sources, including in Hebrew (although it was flagged to death for reasons unknown).

That message a reply to YOU, but that didn't stop you from posting the same false info multiple times in this thread.

In Hebrew Sunday doesn't have a name, it's simply called "Day one", this is also true in Portuguese, Arabic, Greek, Chinese, Vietnamese, and others.

So no, the week does not start on Monday, it starts on Sunday.

The name "Weekend" came long long long after Sunday was considered the first day of the week.

> The 7 day week is completely artificial.

Actually it's 1/4 of a month, which is defined by the moon.

This article does not make its case. He shows a graph of "random" data, and then just kind of keeps going. But that random data is the meat of the whole thing.

Cut out 60% of the useless text, and focus on explaining why random data should look like that.

Beauty does not exist for its own sake, it only exists in the mind of someone else.
