When shopping for a home in Sweden, seeing a kitchen without single handed faucets is a telltale sign that the whole kitchen was designed with form prioritized over function.
When evaluating good vs harm for drugs or other treatments the risk for lethal side effects must be very small for the treatment to be approved. In this case it is also difficult to get reliable data on how much good and harm is done.
The amount of resources that goes into soccer in many countries is really astonishing. It can be seen as a modern equivalent to bread and circuses however.
I think home EV charging equipment is heading in the same direction as well. Very few have local and open APIs and instead depend on the vendors cloud service for control.
It is astonishing indeed. In the long run I hope software catches up with the majority of other industries which has already realized that minimizing waste is a good idea. It might take a while but unless we get room temperature super conductivity or some other revolutionary tech first we will start thinking about efficiency again sooner or later.
You need a coordinator talking to the zigbee bulbs, in most cases this is a usb-dongle for $20-50. Zigbee2mqtt has a great list of different dongles and their pros/cons. The other functionality of a propriatary hub will be fulfilled by home assistant or Zigbee2mqtt+nodered.
SSO can seem intimidating to someone new to authentication implementations. I think this is in part because it is a bit complicated but also because it is an inherently invisible technology which we dont need think about as users. Sign in with fb/google on the other hand is something we all see in our day to day business and have at least some kind of mental picture of how it works. We've also seen it used as authentication for otherwise poorly implemented services so we might think that "since they managed to use it, how hard can it be?". Hence, a lot of developers and product owners choose those instead of SSO.
This sounds promising as a lot of use cases are shoe horned into the current verbs.
A bit surprised EVALUATE isn't discussed as a name since it would make sense both for search queries and other "get using body" scenarios.
It has a trackpoint with 2 buttons which tells us they did not put any serious effort into this input device. Would you use a 2 button mouse without scroll-wheel or a touchpad without 2-fingers scrolling?
I suspect this low effort goes for the whole product which is a budget laptop with marketing directed at decision makers instead of users.
The 2:1 setup was used to save lives after a mass shootings in Las Vegas a few years ago. They paired patiets of similar size, put them on the same ventilator and double the flow rate.
It was mentioned in a blog post by an ER physician linked from hn back then.
