I was in a similar situation with my apartment PTAC unit, but mine has thermostat terminals — I would not be surprised if this one does too. I was able to hook up an Ecobee thermostat, with the downside being that it's way more expensive than OP's solution.

It truly doesn't matter, given Musk waived due diligence. Unless the number of bots is enormous (think 75% or more) then it won't make a material difference.

Depending on your architecture, an API or rendering HTML is an implementation detail, rather than the meat of the application. Have your business logic elsewhere and have the API or controller endpoints call out to those and just do the business of rendering JSON or HTML in the controllers.

(I think this is inversion of control, someone can correct me if I'm wrong)

Sounds more like a great reason to stay away from some of the most chaotic traffic in the US until it can be considered safer. There are far, far more pedestrians in NYC than in Phoenix, and I do not trust a Waymo car to not hit some of them.

It absolutely was not the right choice for the UK (not just Britain, don't forget about Northern Ireland). The EU has definitely shown itself to be quick when it needs to be, and in general has improved life for the average person. There are nothing but downsides in the immediate and long-term future for the UK without the EU — these economic consequences are not easily solvable, and the Tories have not shown themselves capable of actually solving these problems.

The UK had a very privileged place in the EU before, and was able to punch above their weight. When they inevitably rejoin they certainly won't be able to hold that special status again.

Thanks for your work! One question I had is about when it comes to expanding beyond the web, what are the solutions available with Phoenix? For example, if I'm making a web app using LiveView, do I need to make a second app for my API for an iOS app?

Well, you say that it's one of the nicest companies to work in, but clearly not if 1/3 of their employees are willing to leave over a policy decision. Some of the employees that left had been there for over 15 years — it used to be a good place to work, but this made it untenable for them.

On underground trains, you have to choose between air conditioning the platforms or the trains. It wouldn't be feasible (especially in old systems like New York or London) to do both because of the lack of ventilation (the hot air needs to go somewhere).
