FYI this kind of thermostat is actually better. American style thermostat put your HVAC system in either on or off state (basically PWM), whereas this kind of communicating thermostat can tell the system what the temperature is, so they adj

Agreed. The problem is not with AI per se, but with the reward mechanism in academia in general.

I have apps published to both the Play Store and App Store, and I agree. Despite the stereotype, Apple is much nicer to deal with. If you work within the Google ecosystem, you enjoy none of the benefits of the supposedly open Android system

Based on my understanding of Australian PR, what you are renewing is not your visa but the travel facility. For non-PR, I don't think Australia distinguishes visa and status like US (i.e. you can't have valid status while your vis

Is it? If I understand it correctly, in Japan, if you have a valid residence card, you can use that to enter the country. That is not true for the US (if you consider I-94 the US equivalent of residence card)

well... no, splitting a monolith once it has grown past the point where services make sense is incredibly difficult. My last employer spent a couple of years doing it and ultimately gave up. There is just way too much interdependency to spl

You are talking about change (or extension) of status, not visa. US is unique in that the visa sticker and your right to remain in the country (status) are two different things. The only purpose of the visa sticker is to allow you to travel

Hostage may be a bad analogy. More like a game of chicken. Imagine you are a regular @icloud.com email user. Apple is basically saying "I dare you to block all @icloud.com email and lose all these customers"

Note the reason of this conspiracy: the founder of Tang dynasty is not of pure Han Chinese ethnicity. In the grand scheme, this is just part of the rise of Han nationalism in recent years, which had its roots in the nationalism rhetorics ad

So basically as long as someone is alive in Switzerland they need to pay an insurance company $500/mo?

This is likely an outlier. I submitted a new astronomy app (even with “Astro” in the name!) just a few months ago with no problem.

Also just plain old fraud: selling Chinese models as Opus. With the capabilities of Chinese models catching up fast, this is getting more and more difficult to detect.

Even straight-out-of-the-camera JPG files have been heavily processed - they are just hidden behind the RAW processor which we have taken for granted; not to mention smartphone photographs, which employ neural network in the processing pipe

That is not what starnet does. It just removes the star from the picture you took, nothing else. It also predates generative AI by a few years. If by "not real", you mean "you removed the stars so it no longer reflect reality

In the US it basically comes down to, is the delay the airline's fault? If no (eg weather, ATC), then nothing. However, most US travel credit card comes with trip delay insurance which would cover the cost of an overnight stay, regardl

I do this religiously, and last time I got a fraud alert call for my Barclays-issued credit card, I called them back on the number on the card. They seemed amused and didn’t know what to do :(

Yeah I don't understand why all YouTubers seem to despise "the algorithm", and some of the creators I follow even created their own rival, Nebula, that does not have "the algorithm". Without "the algorithm&quot

This is a significant problem for Chinese H1B holders, because the visa sticker for Chinese passport is only valid for one year. You can stay for longer, but cannot come back if you leave the U.S. Historically folks have been getting their

Chargeback is not just for when your card is stolen. It’s also for e.g. when you never received your order, or your order is substantially different from what’s promised. It’s basically a last resort customer service option.

That is actually the idea. In this simulator, you design services that run on existing tracks. NYC subway is unique in the world in that there are a ton of interlining as well as quadruple tracks, so there are plenty of opportunity to impro

I just tested it out. Since this uses OpenStreetMap data, it is very easy to adapt to other cities. All input data and scripts are in src/data. Run the two Overpass queries, replacing New York with a city of your choice, and you will g

That is a good idea. I just added color for the tracks. I'm in the process of redesigning how trains look like.

As a Brooklynite I wholeheartedly agree. Unfortunately this is more of a service designer as opposed to a track designer, and it only works with existing infrastructure :(

Thanks - this is likely due to adding two tracks facing each other, i.e. -->-->-- --<--<-- I'll add some logic to prevent such options from showing up.

For home / away purposes it's easier to just detect if your phone is connected to the network. I built something like that before by shipping the log from my UniFi controller to a RPi and listen for events where my phone's MA

Very cool! As a semi-frequent flyer I am also passionate about logging every flight I have taken. I have been using OpenFlights for the last five years but the constant bugs always bugged me :) This year I finally decided to build my own:

Yes, and it's especially frustrating for tailscale, since when it signs you out on the server you are often not in a position to re-auth
