- > So far only China has that incentive.
The US is close to having that incentive, if the rift between the US and Europe keeps widening. The Netherlands has one lever, but damn it's a long one.
- The exist, for commercial/enterprise use (usually digital signage and meeting rooms). They cost a few times more than consumer-grade, because of the word 'enterprise'
- I hear they teach that at business school
- I wrote related kind of thing a while back: https://github.com/askvictor/ChromecastControls . Though I haven't used it since upgrading most of my AV gear.
- The first esp8266 I bought was as a dedicated wifi chip for an arduino (or something) project. I discovered after getting it, that it came with a 'free' MCU (that was default flashed with a UART/AT-command firmware to allow other MCUs to get wifi)

... that someone occassionally decides to wrap with a shiny covering to make it look like a luxury SUV. The covering sometimes peels off when travelling on the highway.
- Agree. Though I read that shark attacks are increasing. Possibly due to changing water temperatures, or humans over-fishing their natural prey, leading them to look elsewhere.
- Unfortunately, even with the best after-market support, banking apps and/or contactless payments becomes a cat-and-mouse game, that, even if it works, can stop working at the drop of a hat.
- Don't worry, it's other peoples' money.
- No-one will pay for it, but the presence of Publisher, as a tool that people know and use, in the Office Suite, would probably be a substantial feature for many people.
- Looks great, will give it a try. How does it handle tablespoon conversions, given that a tablespoon refers to a different volume in different countries? (This is a difficult problem to solve, since it's difficult to determine the country if origin of a recipe). I'm many recipes it won't matter, but in some it will make a big difference
- > Also model pricing don't very that much.
I'm curious when AI pricing will couple with energy markets. Then the location of the datacentre will matter considerably
- Bangkok doesn't have nearly the noise issues of Jakarta; the traffic proceeds without every vehicle beeping most of the time in Bangkok. Also no prayer calls.
- It's pretty difficult to accelerate hundreds of tons (or even a lot less than that) of stuff out of the gravity well of the Sun. Let's start by terrorising things a bit closer to home (the moon, Mars)
- Is there a 'just right' size that neither freezes nor fries?
- Or, for the non-AI version, Kode
- The short story "The Discrete Charm of the Turing Machine" by Greg Egan deals with this nicely. I won't give away the ending though.
- I had the original Galaxy S, and that was very much not pure Android, and no other Galaxy I've had has been (so presume the S2 wasn't either). Prior to Android, they had their own OS, and wanted to continue the UI/UX rather than changing to Android.
- My observation is not that they are sometimes synchronised, but some subset of the towers are synchronised (this was my observation in Melbourne AU). Upon asking reddit, it appears that it is the FAA-preferred option that all lights are synchronised: https://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Advisory_Circular/...
The thing is, a healthy ecosystem thrives on diversity. Rallying behind one or two tends towards a monoculture.
