Thanks! I don't think I would need to do max hour per day.

I understand, and I could make it clear in the description that AC is capped at 18 degres C minimum (65F), so people who like it very cold could skip my airbnb. Some AC can go ridiculously low ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/h

Does anyone know if this could be used to "cap" the AC settings ? It could be useful in an airbnb place, where I want to limit the lowest (e.g. 18 degres Celsius) or hottest (e.g. 22 degres Celsius) the guest can set the AC.

Any good reasons, why not do our first edits around the place you live ? Privacy issue ?

You might be onto something. Maybe the lack of central planning in US, and most reliance on private developers, prevents the introduction of denser housing. Not to go full Hausmann ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haussm

San Francisco has few (French JC Decaux) public toilets (pit stop, etc.), but some are inside other public properties that are not open 24/7 (e.g. rec centers). https://data.sfgov.org/City-Infrastructure/Map-of-Pu

No need for maggots, I cannot get unpasteurized cheese of less than 60 days old here in US. So, you cannot have a real raclette here in US because authentic Reblochon cheese is illegal to import to the US because it is not aged long enough

The OS that would be put on those old phones, would be a bare minimal, stripped down OS. No need for managing screen, audio, radio/GSM/EDGE/3-4-5G. Not sure about the IO interface, could reuse the USB, but maybe there is some

Thinking more on those 10% cap, it would allow scalpers to sell the original ticket to themselves, over and over, to eventually reach the price of the market. Unless Ticketmaster takes a significant proportional bite at every resell, nothin

I think that is the right way to give the enough price control to the artists. So, if The Cure wants to keep the ticket price low, they can.

Maybe that is what we need in US too. Matt Haney is trying to do something with AB 1720 (Resale Price Cap), and Ticketmaster is supporting it. https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml... I am not s

Agree... and not defending Ticketmaster, but regarding scalpers in general, I am not sure why one would blame only the ticketing system. If the artists are willing to say sell tickets for $50.00 and the demand is such that some resell to $4

There are lots of often overlooked costs to own a home. I have been 15 years in my place, and now I get some advantages e.g. my loan is fixed so the monthly cost is roughly the same as 15 years ago... in a place like San Francisco, it is n

Commercial satellites can get 30cm resolution images (military satellites can likely get even more high resolution). The earth is vast, but once you pinpoint a carrier, a simple software loop should be able to track it for ever (those carri

You mean the thing that launched in 2023 and that is still not widely deployed ? My BoA still prints checks and mail them to the US Bank across the street when I have to pay my HOA. So yes, why not FedNow... BoA and USBank ?

In US also... but here in US, my bank (Bank of America) would print a check, put it in an envelop, send it to the other bank (e.g. US Bank). So, it is not instantaneous, but it is still free. The drawback is when the US Bank office down th

That is what self-driving car should eventually use, whenever they (or the authorities) deem their model good enough. Burn it on a dedicated chip. It would be cheaper (energy) to run, and faster to make decisions.
