I never suggested that unqualified personnel should enter an unsafe environment or people add anything to essential safety equipment. The Leeo just listens for alarms and lets you decide what to do with the information. It does not affect

My haunch is that most donations by corporations are strategic and don't have an ideological bent. Yes, there are plenty of hiring managers who let their ideology get in the way of making decisions that benefit the business. The compan

I have one on order primarily for my kids' benefit, but I didn't think about the pet bewilderment aspect. Man, now I'm really excited to get it!

Just like the top of line products from any company. They fill a niche, and they're more about gaining a competitive edge than they are about generating tons of profit. You see one in a coffee shop, go to the store (instead of a compet

You're being awfully pedantic. Have the neighbor shut your gas off. Have your landlord alert the neighbors. What if you just left for work? I can find a bunch of scenarios where the information can be useful, whereas you seem determine

I feel the brutality of the sport every morning when I get out of bed. And I was a scrub for the most part. But I wouldn't trade any of it. If it weren't for the increase in brain injuries and the muscle-mass maximizing arms race

Perhaps coming home hours earlier from work and/or calling a neighbor would increase their odds of survival. I find it odd that people are questioning the value of this life and death information while there are plenty of frivolous IOT

Leeo is for people who don't see a need to replace their existing smoke/CO detectors and just want some peace of mind when they're away, but the pets aren't. I bought one used for $70 because I think it definitely has a

Yeah, as originally designed perhaps, but what if you could add a bit of tech to make sure your pets are safe? Or you're not coming home only to inhale carbon monoxide? I don't think $99 is a ridiculous expense for such peace of m

It sounds like the author resents having to compete for attention with "bullshit", but I'm not sure if there's a realistic alternative. You're going to throw out the baby with the bath water I'm afraid. As for

So "people writing code" == "people who want a general purpose Mac"? And I didn't say Apple customers who buy/own Macs. Keep in mind that a lot of people get an iPhone or iPad first, then want to be more produc

I'd bet that fewer than 5% of Apple customers want a general-purpose computer, and it hasn't deviated much from that over time. Apple has always locked down their hardware and software relative to their competitors. The "it j

I dunno. Seems about right these days for the "cool" factor. "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." That video looked pretty magical to me.

They're closer to the same speed now. Some of the difference could be the I/O rate the h2 server has to contend with, right? The real way to demonstrate this would be to release a VM or container for people to test on their own se

The mobile Overview UI looks similar to Apple's Airport Utility. Looks like they took the best part (the graph). Hopefully the UI is more straightforward. Things got lost when Apple moved to version 6.0.

Something tells me the kind of visitors Alphabet hopes to attract to their new website will be sophisticated enough to find it, and if not, they would be gently nudged by Google search results.

Not sure if that's good or bad for Alphabet International. Why would thousands of people (just a guess) hearing this news just assume that's the new domain??

I think being "all over the place" is what skeptics and "denialists" have a problem with. Let's get more data before making drastic changes to our regulations that may hurt hard-working people.
