Aha! This is the first explanation that reveals the most common error. The fact that the reveal isn't just a random door. The host must not reveal the car. That changes everything. I believe that's what most people are missing.

Zooz ZEN51 and ZEN52 are what I've been using, but there are other brands I'd like to try. My delay could be just that my hub is pretty old & needs to be updated.

With any luck, the roles most suited to AI replacement will be CEO, COO, and CFO. But I'm sure if that turns out to be the case, the researchers will be promptly fired and the information quickly buried before anyone ever learns of it.

I use Hubitat but everything is Z-wave except for one Alexa-only bulb, which was a gift so I can't get rid of it. What I've learned is that smart wall switches of all types are still too failure-prone for me. Now I'm converti

They are indeed completely arbitrary, which makes "Category 6" completely meaningless/useless, just like the rest of those silly numbers. A storm with a wind speed of 130 mph is not 20% more dangerous than a storm with wind s

The same laws benefit you as well as politicians. You can pick up the phone, call your neighbor, and discuss politics at any time without fear of reprisal from the authorities. Try doing this in Cuba or China, you will end up in prison. In

This is specifically about AI-generated voices you'd recognize, like spoofing Joe Biden's or Nancy Pelosi's voice, for example.

Maybe they could "remember" where your eyes were looking at a few milliseconds ago and click on that, but then they wouldn't know the difference between that or maybe you actually did mean to click in the center of the conten

Seems like you could just implement a simple delay to solve this. Let's say I want to click on the "reply" button below this text box. If I'm perfectly honest, I DO look at the button for a moment, then I move the mouse

There are not many people who would say that McDonalds' hamburger is the best hamburger in the world, and that Starbucks' coffee is the best coffee, yet brands like these dominate the world like none others and in multiple ways, n

The funny thing to me about this title is who brought that term to English in the first place. It came into the vernacular back in 1991 when Saddam Hussein claimed the Kuwait War would become "the mother of all wars". It didn&#x27

It is. But just because you speak English doesn't mean you use sarcasm constantly. Sarcasm is a lazy way of communicating in almost any language. It reveals lazy thinking and poor vocabulary. I never assume someone is using sarcasm whe

by Lendal 3y ago
The circumstances suggest that it's probably just a simple error and not sarcasm. Not everyone in the world really loves sarcasm so much. People who use it frequently are usually trying to mask a poor imagination and small vocabulary.

You might see some confused faces. To most English speakers "fortune" mostly means good, unless it is preceded by something that specifies that it is bad fortune, like "ill fortune" or misfortune.

It's all about the chipset hardware and drivers, which are not standardized across the PC world. Some people don't care about Bluetooth, and they want to pay less for their boards, so manufacturers oblige them. On a PC, you have t

It's not really numerology though. Yes it's a dumb trick with base-10 math but that doesn't make it numerology. It's not trying to draw any connections between otherwise unrelated things. I think of numerology as trying

True. There isn't any actual untouched forest land in north Florida. It's all been harvested and replanted many times. Almost certainly it was private sale or leased land. But those farm trees still produced more oxygen and stored

Well, actually Florida (FPL) along I-10 is right now constructing new solar farms where there used to be forests. I'm not sure if what they did with the trees constitutes "clear cutting" but the solar panels are there now, an

Is there any news source in the world that isn't in some way connected to one of the parties of this war? It has to be a news source that has significant presence in the region so that they have some topical credibility, but also is no

I was told the battery is supposed to be fully water sealed. According to Elon, "it can serve briefly as a boat." Are such statements completely worthless? Consumers are buying these cars based on these kind of statements, and Elo

Thank you for writing the only comment here that expresses any amount of compassion. I believe this is the true root of the homelessness problem in the US. American society values compassion at just about zero.
