You can demand perfection in planes. That will likely raise their price and operating costs. in which case more people will drive causing more, not less deaths. That isn't to say we shouldn't always try to make them safer. But if

I hope it's okay to ask this question. For you that have these sensors, what actions do you take based on what they tell you? Open more windows when you're cooking? Put on a mask when you vacuum? Just curious. I've dreamed of

It depends on the industry. Video games are still sold at retails stores (Target, Best Buy, ...). Those stores have to coordinate what is going to be on their shelves months in advance (6+)? So you promise your game will be ready and in a

No, that's poor API. If it wants to generate HTML it should return it's root element. Let's say I want to add a random face to every div with class "face". With this API have to generate ids. With an API that return
