Agreed, this is like the lead the horse to water issue. Yes the water exists, no one is really drinking it yet.

I feel in the minority, but took the ad as if it was compressing all those things into the iPad, not “destroying” them. Maybe it’s a glass half full kind of thing.

I've found that some people have great zigbee experiences and terrible z-wave and just as many are the opposite. I chalk it up to individual environments etc. Go with what works best from you.

I've done this as well, but I moved to 500kg load cells on the bed legs for reliability.

2 Load cells one on each back leg of the bed. Upside too is I've been able to discern things like, sitting on the edge of the bed to put on shoes etc based on the weights.

Esphome, load cell, and hx711 chip for the load cell comes out to about $40-$50 each leg.

My feeling would be this does violate the law. The problem is new technology must often go through courts to actually establish the law. So it seems that while the NYPD could decide it’s a no-go, their worse case is to do it, get sued and then let a judge make the call.

To that point, when I do the picture captcha (Select the crosswalks type question), I always click a square I know is not valid and then de-select it. Adds some "human-ness" to the interaction and I never get a 2nd challenge that way. Will that be the future? Look for behavior that is too perfect?

This is actually really messy.

It’s unclear to me who is the registrant in this scenario.

If blue sky then you don’t own anything and there is no portability.

If you are the registrant that’s great but namecheap is going to need contact information that’s verifiable which may turn people off who would like a bit more separation on their social profiles. I also wonder does blue sky see that registrant data? Can’t say I like that very much.

This is interesting, however the vast majority of registries require connecting from a known ip, using a specific cert chain and in some instances their own ca. Turns out when you don’t follow industry practices in one way you don’t do much else right either

This is hyperbole. You typically can't sue (and win) against the maker of an item used in a crime just because they manufactured it.

There is usually some extenuating circumstance when these cases do prevail. For instance one manufacturer was found to have such incendiary marketing around their assault rifle it had risen to the level of a "call to arms". So typically it has to be more than "We are the manufacturer"

It’s not just those issues. The original Impetus for the jones act was to keep a strong merchant marine for war time, so we subsidise the us merchant fleet so that if we had need during war they would exist.

I find this difficult because my outlook for those kinds of conflicts indicates it’s not necessary to have such a fleet, but if you need it, it’s too late to decide. Those ships are a multi year build.

I would think some flexibility and also some accounting of exactly how many us merchant boats we’d need should inform changes to the Jones act.

Another vote for bobiverse, absolutely great book.

I have to think that in this case they mean "website" in the historical form as content vs "app-like" meaning like a web application. If you already have a web application and it works well on mobile, what more could they expect really?

If you are local news site, then this probably is going to be an issue. If your app allows someone to track how many package deliveries they have, then it likely already in a format they are happy with.

No-blame culture and no-consequence culture are not the same thing. Just because you don’t get fired doesn’t mean the org should allow someone the capability to make the same mistake, whether that’s access/permissions/change in org etc
