It’s a cut and paste of all the other letters. I’ve seen more effort put into bulk job applications.

Thread is a network layer thing, comparable to WiFi or Bluetooth. Matter is an application later thing, comparable to HomeKit or Google home.

Zigbee is both network and application layer.

This article has a decent overview https://www.smarthomeperfected.com/zigbee-vs-thread/

My local NHS doctor adopted a new platform recently. It took a surprisingly large amount of effort to confirm Palantir weren’t involved before I agreed to login to it. I would have flat out refused to use it if Palantir were involved.

Yeah. They expect to lose the midterms. Let the bill kick in, and then blame the Democrats for it. ‘How could they let this happen?! Vote for us in 2028 to get your healthcare back’ or something like that.

Yeah, for me Netflix has been downgraded to the ‘subscribe for a month or two a year’ tier, like all the other services.

Yeah it’s weird. I always opt out and it seems to make no difference whatsoever.

Pretty bold to have launched in a city that already has a functional driverless cab service, and with people that now have expectations of something good. I don’t know how delusional they must be to think they will compare well to Waymo.

These guys should try the existing Waymo service in Austin to get an idea of what an actually good ‘robotaxi’ is before tying this junk.

"We are in discussions with Google to address a potential miscommunication regarding the application of their policies,"

Ah yes just a common miscommunication. Nothing to see here.

Hard to believe ‘Fat Woman Falls Down Hole’ is 18 years old. It had a renaissance when featured on Alan Partridge Alpha Papa.

Personally I don’t think there’s any obligation. Folks have campaigned for rights to be enjoyed, not for those people who receive the rights to feel obligated to join the fight.

If you can afford it consider donating to a charity that supports campaigners for the rights you enjoy. This way you can increase their ability to campaign without needing to be directly involved.

The crazy thing is, it’s not 5% of the budget it’s 5% of GDP. Usually a government budget is somewhere around 20% of GDP. So spending 5% of GDP on NATO would mean about 25% of all government spending going on the military.
