In its current state this doesn't appear to do more than a bluetooth OBD adapter paired with a cheap tablet can do - its really nothing like a Tesla touch screen at the moment, I guess the blog post title is just marketing. Their use c

I'm not entirely sure, however running the pump without actually heating the water seems like a waste of energy. Maybe that's how this boiler works though, I'd be interested to know more from the OP.

I mentioned this on the previous HN topic, the way the heating temperature is being controlled doesn't look correct to me. In all the boilers I've used the dial the servo is turning adjusts the temperature of the water being sent

Not only is it baffling to me also, its annoying as well. I came from the UK where I would order a week's shopping and get it delivered Saturday morning. I never had to visit the store and placing an order took maybe 20 minutes. Now I

Why as a renter would I want to use your service over a traditional letting agency? They also provide legal services, handling of finances and often handling of maintenance and repairs etc. The main difference I see here is using clout as a

In the UK (and I'm sure many other places in the world) rental agencies already provide the services you are describing. As a UK single-family home landlord I ask my rental agency to find me tenants, run background checks, handle depos

I'm a bit confused here; looking at the video and pics of your water heater/boiler, the knob the servo is turning looks like it sets the temperature the boiler heats the water to for the central heating loop. This is generally no

This is interesting for me because I am moving to Toronto in July, I've done research into how much I should be expecting to earn but some anecdotal evidence is always welcome too. The numbers compared to my current employment in Cambr

Performance seems fine (on a Pi 2). I am going to have to add some URLs to the whitelist though, as it has recently started affecting the ability to log into Xbox Live.

About 30-50 I would guess. You can easily listen to more than that with a streaming service.

The main arguments it presents against JIRA seems to be: * Its slow - well maybe, although IME its adequate. Our current project has just over 5000 tickets and I rarely have speed issues when filtering, searching etc. Other teams in the com

Arguably anyone following the project will be familiar with their version numbering policy. For those that are new to the project (including myself) a list of benefits in the title provides little information anyway as I have no background

People sometimes seem to forget that development is not a synonym for web development. I use a laptop (Macbook Pro) to develop on a fairly large Unity game - I am currently sitting at 15.78GB/16GB used.

I agree with the second paragraph. It seems that we're constantly pushing to make developing mobile apps easier for people with a web front-end background, in doing so tying them into using a stack of frameworks that in my opinion is f

Do they, or did they used to, have light sensors to detect emergency vehicles coming through? Perhaps that was just an urban myth.

40MPG vs 260MPG is not exactly "similar" though. Something like a Prius vs a modern diesel though is very similar, I don't see the Prius as revolutionary.
