Do you trust your CO alarm to Amazon or did you call the fire brigade just to be sure? Joking aside, I agree the products will improve but I feel Airthings have gone a long way to prove the reliability of their product and a future where we

Realtime sensor calibration is hard to prove, but proving that an absorption kit is a reliable reading also has it's challenges: In practice radon emissions vary dramatically throughout the seasons and based on rainfall, in particular

Yeah unfortunately they are not cheap; I have two, both by Airthings. I first purchased the Corentium version [shows a 1 day, 7 day and lifetime average], and most recently the "Wave" product [graphs the details over time, also tr

So i've become super interested in lung cancer, and recently found that radon gas is the most common cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. If you want bang for your buck, buy a radon detector and mitigate [slab vacuum treatment or regul

Gotcha! That makes way more sense and addresses my original question for sure, thank you!

right, I totally get how English would help getting a job. I thought the post implied that it was a requirement for citizenship, which seemed odd since no one would speak English at birth anyway.

I don’t think I did, where would you put it? Seems by the downvotes I offended someone, I don’t really know where but keen to correct it if that is the case!

As long as they know English? That seems like an absurd requirement, surely it’s by birth?

Yeah totally agree. The only plus I can get from it is that they're easy to identify as the higher risk riders. I've seen cities where you can just rent a regular bike [often old, beaten up a bit], and those people just blend righ

I've seen both, the Electric-assist seem less common [or maybe just harder to identify?]. The ones that I see as not really fitting in are the larger ones that look kind of like an electric Vespa.

I wish you luck with the ebike, but personally i feel like they're problematic. It could just be our roads here though; the issue I find is that they're too fast for bike lanes [risk to cyclists], but too slow for the road [cars f

Not much love for biking here; You'd almost think that most of the people on Hacker News are from Californian suburbs... Seriously though, biking in cities is great. It's one of those critical mass problems where the more people t

I didn't realize the flash was disabled, that is super annoying. On the plus side, i'm extremely happy about the car bluetooth based DND mode.

People miss emails, but it's not anywhere near as common as people missing a slack message...in my experience.

I struggle to agree, despite being the person who initially championed it at the company. It feels like the worst of both IM and email: people use it instead of email, so delayed responses are ok (although sometimes you want a realtime conv

I wish there were three additional views to this data: 1) Average salary, adjust the circles such that they change shape based based on this value. 2) Total $ spent on employing people in this occupation 3) Average cost to train someone in

Yeah, don't write about it though, this has cost me -1 karma. I guess people like this less /than/ i expected.

And then again countries like Australia have this problem and some very strict laws. I think the reality is that this is way more about national identity than it is the laws. As we have seen with legalization in Canada, the laws don't

I actually love that it's cheap, for the reasons you state. If nothing else this just encourages the market to look at storage more seriously, if there is money being left on the table that could be redirected to storage this might be

Thinking more about it, perhaps it makes sense. If they know it's going to miss the area, why blow it up and give away information about your defence systems. I bet that is a risky and nail biting call to make...

So I'm a little confused, what's all this talk about anti-missile systems? Are they even real or just seriously over-stated? If you look at where Hokkaido is I feel it's hard to believe that some protection system wouldn&#x27

Really, a down-vote for this? Go back to the 1950's, that's the only place where someone's relationship status belongs in your judgement. If you cannot accept divorced groups, no wonder we suck at gender diversity and LGBTQ r

I'm personally unsure how their relationship status impacts the credibility of the service, but it bring brought up by you does make me question the validity of your statement.

Is there? In theory yes, but in practice does this happen? I really really want to say there should be but I don't know I could sell that story and completely believe it myself.

This! I made my entire house HomeKit, only to rip it all out and replace it with SmartThings. An expensive mistake but HomeKit is terrible; slow, expensive, limited functionality and compatibility and a massive lack of devices that connect

I don't think that would even come close to explaining this difference. But as an Australian, yeah it's a thing.

Nope. But i also own around $100k in Amazon stock, so perhaps I'm just super bias? I live in Canada, i tried to buy a iRobot 960 [$849 + 13% HST = $959.37 CA on Amazon] and ship it to my sister, she is building a house, and getting mar

If the app is available for Android, pretty easy...just decompile and get hunting around for a few hours. You're almost certain to find something.

Just for fun, if you didn't know what "?int $var = null;" meant, how would you explain that to someone verbally, or better [like most programmers would] how would you search for this online? Finding the definition of "!=
