I got the Netatmo Smart Indoor Air Quality Monitors. They are somewhat expensive, but I got a good deal, 69 EUR a piece. They also monitor temperature, air humidity and noise levels.

CO2 sensors for every room in my apartment. Before monitoring the CO2 levels I did not realize the relation of tiredness, mental fatigue and high CO2 levels.

Adjustable offset helps, but the greater the latency the more disconnected you feel from the beat. 200 ms would be absolutely unplayable. To put that into perspective, 200 ms is an eighth note when the music plays at 150 bpm. So every time

I really like the ability to email an ebook to my Kindle, even auto-converting it to the correct format.

I am not arguing that lambda is sentient. I am saying that to even have that discussion a commond understanding of meaning of "sentient" has to be established. Otherwise you cannot even establish a consensus or say people agree on

When discussing AIs being sentient it is rarely discussed what being sentient means. It should be defined what that means and how it can be proven. I wouldn't know how to prove any human being being sentient if I cannot rely on convers

If we assume the computer consumes 200 Watt in average, the electricity price would be something like 0,32 USD per kWh. So probably Germany, Denmark or Belgium.

You are so right but nobody wants to hear it. We are incredibly short-sighted and incapable of accepting inconvenient truths. Every child conceived (and their children) is an enormous burden to the earth and all of us (in the grand scale of

You fail to see the parallels. A state is a group of people, and taxation is money for that group. I guess you are thinking emotionally and with associations ("state" and "tax" is something "respectful" and &qu

In a modern society, if you don't pay your taxes you are likely to be imprisoned, possibly violently (depending on circumstances). Fundamentally there is no difference.
