Did you use Arc for this?

Edit: nvm. Thank you for introducing me to Telesc.pe. This is exactly what I've been looking for!

There's also a lack of understanding on the effects of this pollution, especially as it becomes more regular. I worked and lived in China for 7 years and just getting parents to close the windows of an obstetric hospital with newborns was difficult enough. There is a belief that "fresh air" is always better than what is in the room. When I asked nurses about the public health impact of this pollution on children, they often stared blankly back.

Here's to hoping that his death will at least galvanize a more unified approach to politics in SA to honor his memory.

Pared down to its barest essence, wabi-sabi is the Japanese art of finding beauty in imperfection and profundity in nature, of accepting the natural cycle of growth, decay, and death. It’s simple, slow, and uncluttered-and it reveres authenticity above all. Wabi-sabi is flea markets, not warehouse stores; aged wood, not Pergo; rice paper, not glass. It celebrates cracks and crevices and all the other marks that time, weather, and loving use leave behind. It reminds us that we are all but transient beings on this planet-that our bodies as well as the material world around us are in the process of returning to the dust from which we came. Through wabi-sabi, we learn to embrace liver spots, rust, and frayed edges, and the march of time they represent.

It's another way I guess about looking at fashion and what you wear without care (or a little bit of care at least).

A huge added functionality they could have implemented would have to roll in a home security function in there too. If they notice that someone has entered the home at an irregular time the app should send some kind of notification to the owner.

Maybe there should be an API for other developers to add that in?

I don't think a $100 premium is worth that especially considering placement can solve many of those issues. What WOULD be worth the $100 premium is if the sensors combined with the Nest thermostat could give me a better picture of my environmental health settings in the household or workplace. However, I don't think Fadell & co are prepared to launch something like that yet. I'll pass on the Protect and wait for something else.

The nest thermostat on the other hand is one the top of my list if/when I get my own long-term home.

I concur. The country is pushing in the right direction to incentivize alternative energy consumption and its a fantastic opportunity to try and get a head start on establishing better infrastructure. I'm surprised Tesla hasn't invested more in a nordic supercharger network yet.

Poor editorial skills right there.
