I prefer a virtual mailbox (like iPostal1). You can view your mail from anywhere and choose to have individual mail sent to you anywhere in the world. PO box is not convenient.

I did not find anything about the security of scanned documents or how they are destroyed on the iPostal1 website. Have you inquired about how they handle their digital document security?

How would the gas fee work in this scenario?

humblebee · 4 years ago

It looks to be for settlements which are done at the end of the day between banks, not on a per transaction basis between merchant and buyers.

There is a thread on /r/CryptoCurrency that lays things out

Won’t this project have legal troubles in the future because the google / oracle Java api case? I assume valve has implemented the same apis as directx?

If Value does the work to get Game Pass on Linux working I don't think Microsoft would mind too much.

Whatever, not interested in burglars. I could've used that thing to check basic status of the apartment that I don't use. Broken windows, water leaks and stuff.

Yes, I think this could actually be a good product, or at least something similar to it for anyone who suffers from OCD. I think a lot of smart devices can help people.

Maybe there is a better product though.

I felt the same way. And then I think I want to automate it.

I heard scripting is possible? Do experienced players use it, to automate things?

Have you reached the construction robot tech? It removes the requirement to place items by hand, and the game largely turns into a "planner" game.

Would be great if regulation could step in and enforce some rules around what we all know already - touchscreen controls in a car are vastly inferior to, and more dangerous than, physical knobs.

humblebee · 5 years ago

A lite touch to anything shouldn't activate something in a car. Drivers are effectively blind to anything else in the car while driving and controls should be design in such a way that the use of the drivers eyes are not required.

Keep the drivers eyes on the road.

"Smart" is one of those nebulous things, until people give it a too-narrow definition like IQ. It's important to acknowledge that there are many kinds of intelligence, not all of which are pure logic or knowledge-gathering.

humblebee · 5 years ago

I also find that far to often people think another person is not smart because they don't measure up to themselves in the same intelligence categories. I always try to describe this as the categories intelligence being disturbed across sphere where each category is a tangential line. Due to ones own perspective, another may not actually look intelligent because they're orthogonal to ones own, and they are then perceived to be "stupid".

The actual "Zoom for Home - DTEN ME is an all-in-one personal collaboration device for your home office" is here:

Looks like they make a bunch of conferencing things?

humblebee · 5 years ago

My first question was how to share a presentation. Though I guess maybe this is targeted at user who wouldn't do this themselves? I don't know how realistic this is, particularly for a home device. Presenters not in control of the slide deck never seems to work.

On the specs sheet it does have an HDMI in, so I'd assume you can use it like a display, and share the input? It doesn't appear to be highlighted anywhere though.

I was a little suprised by this one. Sure, network connections are are going to be much slower than local operations, but where's the time going? Is it mostly the network latency? Google has a lean webpage, so I assume it has nothing to do with google specifically.

humblebee · 5 years ago

This also surprised me. A large part of it I'm sure has to do with the fact that I'd assume (given these numbers) urllib2 auto follows redirection. The request is to `http://` so it must make an additional request. Otherwise I'd expect them to be much higher as there would be no 'body' to the responses.
