Yes, Thread serves similar functionality to Zigbee, to the extent that some people describe it as Zigbee 2.0.
However it’s a new protocol for a new standard, that has backing from all the big names in home automation, including Apple, Amazon, Google.
Zigbee is a great protocol. Thread will bring better connectivity for the future (we hope)
Similar to previous efforts here. This is why I’m hopeful that focusing on quantity, higher density is better than low cost.
Developing a larger building with more units should also be more profitable for developers.
Weird, I thought Unix/linuxes did this decades ago, at least in the OS, and the problem was maintaining the old api/datatype for applications.
…. But I stopped paying attention after finishing my time at y2k remediation. Surely that caught enough attention that we wouldn’t be foolish enough to do it again? Right?
Yeah but this is rude. They shouldn’t have to be accosted everywhere.
We’ve tried lots of variations on that where I live but I have a lot of hope for
MBTA is a regional transit authority centered on Boston but covering 1/3 the state. Boston has done transit-oriented zoning/development for decades to encourage more walkable neighborhoods, higher density housing near transit. However now it applies everywhere in the system. All the surrounding suburbs must also zone for higher density housing near transit.
We’ve never been successful trying to enforce lower cost housing but maybe it’ll work encouraging more housing, near transit, and walkable
And protein. It helps make the peanut butter slightly leaner and have slightly more protein!
The authors approach to not owning anything digital was to attempt self hosting. But the authors reaction to the amount of work was that he shouldn’t own the “self-hosting”? He does not even realize that he’s back to not owning anything
Maybe carpenter ants. At one point I discovered them by a pile of sawdust like that on my coffee table.
It turned out there was enough of a roof leak to cause some rot despite no visible leak symptoms, the ants were following that, and happened to discard the sawdust out a tiny hole in the ceiling above my coffee table. It sucked because that was the signal to replace the roof
The even worse variation is car parts.
WE NOTICED YOU BOUGHT THIS CAR PART FOR YOUR TOYOTA, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE ADS FOR THE SAME PART ON DIFFERENT CAR BRANDS?
As an American I think the same way.
We’ve always really had two parties but historically they were not radically different. While I have certain tendencies, I’ve always understood the other party/perspective and sometimes voted for those candidates.
But now I have no clue what half the country is thinking. I don’t understand what happened to let the current crop of criminals attain leadership or get away with so much. Sometime I think it’s the “leopard eating faces” scenario, but sometimes I think it’s the toddler having a tantrum and knocking over the table scenario. Sometimes I think it’s just narcissists who can only think in the current time with no connection to the future. Sometimes I think people have no abstract thinking anymore and sometimes I think they’re all just gullible and easily manipulable. I can’t even have empathy for them because I can’t tell whether they deserve pity or need a scolding or need to stick to their sandbox.
Or if you’re talking about the mechanics of politics, that too. We have ways we’ve done things traditionally, according to laws back to (and even before) the constitution found our country. Apparently that doesn’t matter anymore
USA! USA! USA! We’re number ONE!
Slept in and made waffles for my kids …. I got too damn excited making Liege Waffles for the first time. The kids loved them but it’s a lot of work, even more cleanup, and molten sugar hurts like the dickens
As long as it could be thousands of years we can dream about fantastic new elements that could make arc reactors or interstellar travel possible.
The more likely reality is a boring line of research of interest only to scientists
