You're building a banking backend as a side project? I'm interested. Is this more of a fun project, or is there a commercial end-goal? Any chance it's open source?

I'm a zigbee fan, mostly because there's such a wide variety of devices. I almost exlusively use zigbee2mqtt [0] reference to find devices that suit me. Searching for `meter` gives a lot of options, you'd have to do more inve

And this will almost certainly be more expensive than plain old cellular. TV manufacturers would be covering a very niche market of people who have a TV in a location with no cellular coverage.

I think GP is referring to the dust generated by brake pads. Since EVs can use regenerative braking, there should be less use of the brake pads, and therefore less brake dust. I would assume that the tyre dust will remain the same

There's definitely differences between countries and regions, and I don't have data for it, but the stereotype of Latin American Spanish being slower than Spain has by and large been true in my experience. Do you think on average

by bitdivision 3y ago
Yes, I agree, Spanish is generally more verbose. The weird one is that Latin American Spanish is spoken much slower, but with the same information per syllable (presumably). I always wondered if the information rate would actually be the sa

Mostly unrelated, but there was a study [0] some time ago which said that the information rate of all languages was roughly the same. So if a language had more data conveyed per syllable, then it might be spoken slower for instance. 0: htt

Yes, I think similarly in Spanish would be `se despidió demasiado` or `se despidió demasiadas veces` if you want `too many times` rather than `too much`. Disclaimer: Spanish is not my first language. Does demais in portuguese mean too much,

Bulbs normally burn out open, breaking the circuit. And in the unusual case that they don't, I would imagine the thin wires leading to the filament will melt, also breaking the circuit. And if all else fails you your circuit breaker sh

The 5th amendment protects you from being a witness against yourself [0]. So to me it seems pretty clear that in the US this would not be allowed. But then again, it seems as though being forced to reveal your password is not necessarily a

No, but it does take externalities into account, i.e. road tax is based on CO2 emissions.

Regarding car accidents, the US does have a higher rate of deaths per 100k inhabitants [0] than most other countries of similar development. I imagine that's largely because of the lack of public transport and therefore increased numbe

There's an app called indrive [0] which does exactly this. You submit a bid, drivers can accept or propose a different price. Works well in my experience, though I think largely only popular in Latin America at the moment. 0: https:&#

Could be! I imagine I also notice the difference because I usually use UHT when I've run out of fresh milk. So the taste of coffee with fresh milk is pretty recent, vs travelling to another country. I'm sure if I was using UHT eve

I also looked into this and couldn't find any reliable information on what pasteurisation method was actually used in the UK. I did find that US allows the use of hormones to increase milk production. Possibly that's a factor? But

I'm surprised you can't tell the difference between UHT and regular milk. I've tried a few brands in the UK, and there's a clear difference in tea / coffee, and it's particularly marked if you're drinking
