> accidental artifact of trying to make it give honest answers?

If it's not giving honest answers that implies it's purposely being deceitful, which it isn't capable of. Right?

> I don't quite understand why "embedded" has historically meant learning a completely separate tool.

Because historically, and I would argue should still, refer to very limited hardware, in terms of memory, processing power, and energy.

But it's something they're choosing to do, not something that is required.

While I concur with your hesitation, my first reaction on hearing about the fee was "Didn't they say you couldn't fly without a realid? Why am I able to fly without one then?" The idea that they may not be able to bar you without one jives with how this is playing out. Another commenter in this post also mentioned flying without id, which I also thought wasn't possible.

~~~While it's not a passport, I believe most states have free id cards that are "realid" compliant.~~~

Edit: I'm wrong.

Since you can index expressions I wonder if that's because you essentially emhave to store the value in the index anyway and that wouldn't be expected for a virtual column?

I've used them for common transforms such as timezones (e g. data comes in as uutc and we query everything in Chicago time) just to make querying easier.

Just like on a car, if your break pads are capable of completely stopping the wheel, but the wheel is not capable of creating enough braking force with the surface, then you slide. If you lubricate between the wheels and surface, which is essentially what leaves do on rails, no amount of at-wheel breaking power will stop you.

This is what antilock Brakes in cars prevent, they pulse the brakes to allow the tire to regain traction, preventing slippage and loss of control.

As someone who only has a 5w transmitter, I avoid field day and major contests. I love doing Parks on the Air when camping, and that ends up being a lot more enjoyable.

Isn't bzip used quite a bit, especially for tar files?

> non-rigamarolish process of sharing a HomeKit home key

I have not used homekit, but from some searches it only seems to be a non-rigamarole process to add someone as a homekit user if the other person has an apple device? Also, is the Internet required to enroll someone?

> ones where the key holder is so incapacitated that they would be unable to share a physical key.

I don't need to be conscious or my phone have battery (or reception) to have someone take a key from my pocket.

> Also, every implementation of CarKit Car Keys I have seen is the same as HomeKit home keys: there is a backup. Either a physical key, PIN, fob, or card.

I was responding to gp who wanted none of this as it all defeats the security they desired. A 1-factor physical authentication token as a backup would be suitable for nearly all edge cases I can think of. As long as the person carries it, but then we are at worst where we are today, at best I could potentially authenticate or add someone from afar.

I'm not saying that smart locks aren't useful, just that they can't only be "smart", which I assume you would agree with since you brought up things currently having backup methods?
