I'm never going to give it access to my email or anything like that.

It won't work most of the time though

This is not about Optimus Prime and the gang, is it?

I regret nothing.

Basically, they gave their land Atrial Fibrillation through strong extrasystoles.

No CarPlay / Android Auto is a deal breaker for me

I honestly am more worried and uneasy about the actions of the president of a certain powerful nation.


I mean, only yesterday Fable at max effort forgot to commit and push half the changes in two files and didn't mention it until I found out with git status.

It made half the changes, committed and pushed, then it made the other half of the changes on the same two files as before and... just stopped and reported back with a cheerful "all good, all done and pushed".


I always think about it, but then I remember I couldn't sleep knowing my tech stuff is inside a shed in the backyard. Too easy to break in and steal it.


I don't know what kind of tech stuff you have, but since you can run ethernet (or better, fiber) to the shed, you could keep most of it locked in the house and just walk out with your laptop to your workspace each day.

Monitors are relatively cheap these days, you can get a name brand 32" 4K monitor for around $300 - if someone busts in and steals it, the door/window repair will probably cost more than the monitor.


It doesn't look any easier to break into than my house. Which is to say -- pretty easy, and yet, home break-ins are pretty uncommon.


I don't know. That's a wooden shed, while my house is brick and concrete with a common European armored door and roller shutters.


Well, in suburban Portland, where the wooden shed is, the house will be similar construction. You could very, very easily drill a hole in the exterior wall, reach through the hole, and unlock the door from the inside.

In fact, in many homes (like my own), there's a window directly adjacent to the doorknob, so you could more easily just smash the glass, reach in, and unlock the door.

And yet, it's quite uncommon for that to actually happen, and not something I spend any time worrying about.

In more urban settings or higher-crime neighborhoods, of course, people take more precautions.


There's probably lots of ways to secure it if you think about it.


"Best iPhone ever" vibes.


That's not going to work in the South. Demand adapted buildings, housing, and AC where applicable.


It's specifically for "jobs in sectors like agriculture and construction", not sure better buildings will help the workers out on fields and construction sites much.

Although one temperature threshold probably don't make much sense, a strict 30C across the entire continent would mean massively different things in different countries, in many countries that mean basically the entire summer off, every year.


This would be wet bulb, not dry bulb: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48861424


It matters when the heat stress continues when you're not at work. You can tolerate a lot more if your body gets actual breaks from the heat.


It's not clear from the article, but I think it's obvious they are referring to jobs that require being outdoors


Most places in the south already have AC

And the ones that don't have it, oh well, too bad :)


Read the article. This applies to outdoor jobs only.


Yes, outdoor work should already have had this!


The south of what?
