It makes me feel a little better about myself seeing the New York Times communication department make a typo in a post
Mildly reclusive American living in Europe.
Tends to get truculent about movies, music, the Oxford comma, and politics

I wonder if that’s due to the body distorting
They only owned up after lying and obfuscating for years. California said they work with manufacturers when they are out of compliance, but brought their lawsuit because VW wouldn’t cooperate
It was too weak to use. It was connected but with no bars. It was probably well outside the city where they still had power
About a month ago, almost the whole city (northern Germany) lost power for about forty minutes. My signal was down to an unusable edge connection. I really don’t know what the rules are
That’s what I meant, the device is directly next to the heat source. It’s never going to be accurate. And you can tell in the way people use the two systems. In Germany, people don’t think about our check the temperature of the room or what the dial is set at, just, I’m cold, turn it up. In the US, the room is set to a specific temperature and just left alone except for day/night, home/away.
But, anyway, the comment was about how they wouldn’t work for Nest, and that’s true. You’d need a third party solution. It would be hard to sell these and then say, hey, by the way, you can’t use it until you go out and buy something from someone else and install it
I haven’t been in many private houses in the Netherlands. I could only speak to Germany
Yes, but they are not electronic and they don’t reflect the temperature of the room like a wall thermostat does.
TBF, over 15* in Germany I’ve only seen a couple of actual thermostats. The vast, vast majority use a valve on each radiator. There are electronic solutions for the radiators, but sticking a Nest on the wall is going to do nothing for someone unless the customer installs specific hardware that the Nest would have to support

I don’t know. I go to news portals or aggregates or feeds for news. Do people actually just type “news” into Google? I suppose for specific events, but I could actually see it being true that news searches weren’t making up much of the activity. The way it’s going to be is subscription based or publicly funded for anything worthwhile
I think it’s problematic to require an organization to do something and then charge for it. It’s one thing if they do something of their own volition and then are required to pay
I think they’re setting up to negotiate not paying. I don’t think people should depend on Google to provide a social good at their cost
This was more a stunt because France is demanding Google pay to link to news sites. It’s the opposite of whether search engines should be required to list them
All true of American protests. In Atlanta they’ve even been labeling protesters as domestic terrorists. That comes with huge consequences and they still go out there.
So did you. You picked one. I picked one.
You felt that Americans can learn something from European protesters, but I don’t know what you’re saying the big difference is. The BLM protesters faced violence and extreme retribution, but were still out there continuously, living, sleeping… why are the Europeans better?
Why don’t you tell us how the BLM protestors are pussies compared to the French. You say you want people to learn
What are you seeing in EU protests that BLM didn’t have?
Just want to clarify that healthcare is not free; there are insurance companies and coverage is paid for.
The difference is they are more regulated and everyone must have insurance coverage
It seems like there’s more animosity towards immigrants, but I honestly think it reached a peak a while ago. The Syrian refugee diaspora was ten years ago. Any increase in right-wing extremism is from a general, global fad. They seem to feed off each other. These are just feelings. I don’t have any data
Using nfs on ext4 file systems, I’ve always just added them to fstab and it works just like that
