Comments like this are so frustrating to see, as my company goes backwards, moving from Gitlab to GitHub.

One of his few good points, and it may be accidental is that it’s hard to sell a tax increase.

My health insurance premium is way higher than my Medicare tax, so I can recognize that tripling the Medicare tax in my income bracket in order to support Medicare for all will actually save me money.

But there are a lot of people who would stop at tripling the Medicare tax is bad. It would be a hard sell to get past that.

The only real problem with tripling the Medicare tax is that it’s a fixed percentage and is capped, but really ought to be progressive with no cap

This whole chain is a response to

Teslas are programmed to turn off autopilot half a second before a crash so statistics can say “autopilot was off at the time of the crash”.

And no one has anything to support that.

Please add a citation to support that before you insist on citations to support disagreeing with an unsupported claim

Note my previous response (accidentally responded to the nhtsa thing in the past with an edit)

Im not disagreeing that FSD can disengage just before a crash, just arguing that I’ve not seen them try to shift blame based on it and I remember reading somewhere that it’s intentional to try to mitigate the aftermath

Both parties are blatantly corrupt, violate constitutional safeguards, both are rewriting history and reality, both parties cancelled infrastructure spending, both parties cancelled economic development and new energy projects, both parties cancelled student loan assistance ……

By “strawmanning on a different topic.” perhaps you mean sticking to the original topic while you go off strawmanning on a different topic?

Teslas are programmed to turn off autopilot half a second before a crash so statistics can say “autopilot was off at the time of the crash”.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world -1 points 8 hours ago

I do not see anything about your contention there. Perhaps you could support that since my entire point was that is wrong.

And I used stronger language because if you wanted to claim FSD was unsafe you have all these well documented historical issues and do not need to spread the unsubstantiated claim that FSD disengages to shift blame

making a self driving car feel safer

Without judging the effectiveness, Tesla has made great progress on this. If you read through recent FSD reviews you’ll see many claim things like “the car drives more confidently”

Attempted murder of a “police” officer?

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

Why am I picturing reaching through a window to tase a driver, then 49 shots in a crowded area to finish them as they involuntarily accelerate

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world -1 points 9 hours ago (6 children)

Or maybe I can recognize nuance? Not once did I try to say Tesla was not at fault, only that there is no sign of anyone even arguing whether FSD disengaging immediately before a crash shifts blame. It does not, nor can I find any legal, regulatory, or actual news indicating that it ever did.

There are plenty of real issues we should focus on rather than claiming something there is no evidence of

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world -1 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Right. There was no denial, no attempt to shift blame, nor did that investigation produce any findings I was able to find.

Note that when Tesla says it disengaged, they contend to give a time down to the second. I also could not find any outrage reports that they tried to shift blame this way and you know there are many haters who would jump on that chance

Shifting to legal articles, I see several saying trying to shift blame this was would not work

Poutine (lemmy.world)
 

I was “today” years old when I discovered poutine. I’d had fries with gravy before but poutine is much better! Where has this been all of my life?

Actually a bit of a fusion: birria poutine at the local Biergarten, SO GOOD!

Does anyone have experience integrating a Bryant mini-split Heat Pump? …. It’s made by Carrier so Carrier heat pump may be similar.

It looks like the strategy is

  • install a “System Access Module”
  • download Bryant home app
  • set up and account
  • connect the SAM to the account over WiFi
  • there’s an integration which probably connects to the cloud service

This is going to be expensive, getting the SAM installed (new system so I don’t want to risk losing warranty by doing it myself) so I need to know what to expect and whether it is worth it

  1. The unit has many modes and controls whereas traditional thermostat just holds a temperature. Will this let me automate additional modes like “dry”, fan speed, vent direction, etc?
  2. Is there a better approach with local control? I have zwave, Zigbee, thread meshes so any of those would be ideal.
  3. I have an old remotec ir blaster that I used on my previous ac, but have not yet tried on this one. Is that my only local choice?
  4. Can anyone speak to ir blaster improvements since broadlink bought remotec? Is there anything worth buying an updated device?

Edit:

  • installer quoted $500 parts and labor
  • found the part on eBay for $300

That’s way more than I’m willing to spend, especially since it’s not local and I’m skeptical of any cloud service. I’ll have to try the IR blaster

 

I really like the new Maintenance Dashboard. Trying to track batteries was one of the first things I did with my own dashboard, with automation. This seems like a small thing but an automatically generated dashboard to track batteries is so useful, especially for new people. Whoever worked on that: well done!

That being said, what’s next? Does anyone know how to find some sort of roadmap or backlog for this feature in particular?

Other things that would be useful here

  • printer cartridge levels
  • various filter ages and replacements

Trmnl experiences? (lemmy.world)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by AA5B@lemmy.world to c/homeassistant@lemmy.world
 

Did anyone here get one of those Trmnl dashboards? I’ve been wanting to build an e-ink dashboard for years but it keeps not happening, so I ordered a Trmnl X as soon as I read about it.

There’s a bit of a delay on shipping, and early adopters on Reddit were negative, but I’m excited!

— apparently one of the issues was magnets not sufficient to hold it to a fridge. THE CASE HAS MAGNETS! AND THEY'RE UPDATING THEM!

There is a big list of plugins, including apple calendar and HA dashboard, which I’m most interested in

Anyhow, if you got one, please share your experience

 

Probably limit to the us for feasibility: i want to find out about regional products but also have a chance of getting interesting ones.

For example I recently found about two flavors of soda available in parts of the us but not where I am (Peach Crush, Cactus Cooler). I was able to order online to try them!

What else is regional to you that someone may like? Any communities? Links? Online resources to help?

 

I just got an Airthings Radon monitor, and the integration with HA went smoothly. As a starting dashboard I have a simple card displaying sensor values.

But I let myself get carried away and got the one with the most sensors. So expected to see history graphs so I can look at trends or events, but it never occurred to me they were all different units and scales. HA wants to create many charts, which is less easy to read.

Does anyone have dashboard ideas on how to display these?

I’m considering joining a CSA for summer produce …….

But getting produce this way can be expensive so not everyone can do it, but this one place also spends part of our shares to offer

  • “Food For All” where they offer half price food shares on request, no paperwork or shame involved!
  • you can buy shares with SNAP at subsidized prices so it’s at least comparable to grocery stores, but then put money back on your SNAP card!
 

Can anyone help with pointers for automatable garage heaters? So far my searches aren’t finding anything. My requirements are:

  • remotely preheat when I want to work out
  • alert if it’s left on, or automatically turn off

I’m in the US, looking for 240v maybe 5,000w electric heater. The basic item is cheap and readily available at home centers or online. I even see variations with Bluetooth remote and/or controlled by app.

I’m looking for something locally automatable. Matter/Thread would be ideal but I’m fine with Zigbee or z-wave. But I’m not finding anything like that, and getting stuck on some vendors portal is not ok. Any leads?

Or something that can use an external thermostat - I actually have an extra Ecobee - that can be locally automatable. Any leads? Any search tips that might find such a thing?

I briefly thought of automating an outlet, however even if smart outlets are available for those loads, that wouldn’t work because all these heaters have a safety feature to run the fan until the unit is cool

 

One of the environmental regulations we benefit from here in the us, is eu common charger rules! Basically all computer like devices now use usb-c. Thanks.

But it would be even better to be common to essentially every portable device. I’ve seen flashlights that charge over usb-c.

While I was travelling this past weekend, my toothbrush battery died and I didn’t have the proprietary charging base. I sure wish that took usb-c also. Looking online I see a couple but most electronic toothbrushes still use proprietary chargers

Which brings up: what are you guys seeing, where common charger rules are actually required? Looking across non-computer devices that are not required to be usb-c, are they?

Edit: proprietary

 

It’s coming down to the final deadline. I’m running out of time and need to decide ….

Kids are at college so buying in bulk is less important but I love Costco. My membership expired in May, but I’m down to three rolls of toilet paper, LoL

Do I renew Costco and continue to buy in bulk at the potential of wasting money, or do I give up on Costco and buy all supplies from the grocery?

 

May be interesting here because walkable cities and transit directly reduce unnecessary deaths

Massachusetts consistently ranks as the safest state for drivers in terms of fatality rate, with only 4.9 deaths per 100,000 people. Its success is largely credited to stringent DUI laws … Urban density also plays a role – Boston’s congested streets and statewide lower speed limits in urban areas reduce the opportunity for high-speed crashes. The state also has a strong public transportation network, which decreases total vehicle miles traveled.
