Wikipedia didn't exist when I was in school, but I was taught that you couldn't cite encyclopedias because they were what was considered common knowledge, and therefore did not require citation. Is that not the case anymore?
I wish they (Honeywell) advertised it more heavily on the package, perhaps I could have saved hundreds.
I replaced a $50 or so programmable with the nest, it did not vary heat up time with outside temperature (an hour swing day to day, new windows are next, but cost more than a thermostat), and it did not cut off a few degrees (and much time) before the desired temperature knowing that having all of the radiators fully hot will lead to another hour or so of heating even with the boiler off.
Any of the thermostats I'd used in the past (all of the places I've lived had large free standing radiators) didn't really get those two concepts (start heating hours early, and cut off an hour or so early). Though, it's not even something I knew existed until nest advertised it pretty front and center. So maybe it was in the small print of things I was looking at.
I don't micromanage my thermostat when away, I set it to 55 when I leave, and when I get on the plane to come home set it to 65.
I will agree, large freestanding radiators are a corner case (un updated east coast urban houses), but they are one where the nest really shines. It makes it possible to use a program at all.
You say you have a furnace, if that were the case for me I'd be fine with anything, as forced air doesn't over shoot or take as long to heat up.
It's auto program was useless btw. It was too aggressive at programming because I got home late one night. Though the interface to manually program it was nice.
That all seems harder to setup then connecting two wires to a thermostat that does it for me. For one thing, a multi stage boiler would be far more expensive a retrofit than a thermostat, sure, a variable power boiler would be cool.
I suppose instead of controlling the boiler fire, you could control the water temperature, but again, that's a pretty expensive retro fit to gravity fed system. I'm actually not aware of any boilers that work by controlling the water temperature and pumping continuously (for a small home), generally they heat the water to whatever, and pump it until it's whatever - 20 degrees,heating it again then. But if the thermostat tells it to go off, they stop pumping (and heating).
Why they didn't use systems like that I don't know, I'm also upset that most American systems I've seen don't have room thermostats on each radiator, but that's life.
With the Nest, I can sleep with the house in the low 60s and still wake up to the high 60s, before nest, it could take anywhere from an hour to three (depending on outside temperature) to get to the upper 60s.
I find that none of the 7 or 8 inch tablets have 1080p screens anymore.
The nexus 7 (2013) was perfect for me too. in portrait mode it was crisp enough for easy reading of comic books 1 page at a time. I played Xcom and Bauldars Gate on it, it wasn't ideal, but passable while flying. I preferred to use it while noodling around on the internet at home (over a computer or a phone).
I've contemplated getting an older Note/other phablet, but they just aren't quite big enough, and I would never use one as a phone (I like my phone to be easy and comfortable single handed).
There's a Hauwi that's compelling, but doesn't let you move apps to the SD card (even though it's Android 7).
So you had a lot of people try it when they didn't feel like it, go meh, and never use it again.
It's integration with their other services was terrible, and yet they forced that too.
It was a huge PITA.
I was bummed, I had a small group of friends that we all used buzz. It was perfect, showed up in email (not blocked by most companies), only friends, we already chatted with the messenger in email.
If they integrated picassa into it, and let it slowly grow, it had a shot.
But pushing everybody on when they weren't in the mood head to people not seeing the value of plus (IMO).
especially if base load is coal, and that's the primary source at night (I assume wind would be pretty high then too, but not solar for obvious reasons, and likely not any natural gas (still a fossil fuel, but cleaner and less CO2 then coal)).
The only reason I posted the link at all is that your 35-45 seemed to exactly match the 2009 numbers, and already by 2014 things have dramatically improved in that regard.
Mazda is fighting a losing battle if their plan is ICE efficiency being less CO2 then EV.
South of buffalo along the lake i get no coverage, or roam on at&t (last visited last July, I have band 12, but not 77 which they're rolling out).
Eastern shore Maryland is terrible coverage (last visited in August), only Verizon works there.
There are two bars locally (Wilmington, DE) that I get great coverage outside of but zero inside (every other carrier gets inside too)
They have been rapidly and continuously improving though.
I went to Faber, VA in June and had zero coverage, I went two weeks ago, and had pretty good coverage (could stream TV without buffering).
I'm really hoping the band 77 means that in a year or two I have coverage indoor in the two spots locally I dont (probably not though, longer if anything, since I suspect I'm low priority area for it generally having really good coverage (20/20mbps connections)).
By the time it comes to be, grids will be more renewable, and EV ranges will be huge.
I think they're underestimating the progress battery tech will make
I don't know how long an engine generation is, but I bet close to a decade (to take supperior to the best F1 engine in existence to production car affordable).
I suspect that an AI may perhaps have been able to decode that hieroglyphs were the same as the Coptic cursive, and maybe even relate them to the existing coptic language.
Maybe even in less time than the decades it took people to figure it out.
No, just think that enemy is a pretty harsh word for a country we have normal diplomatic relations, no war (or even proxy war), and a lot of trade with.

I purchased one because my free standing radiators take a while to heat up, and then keep hot for a while.
The nest auto learns how early to turn them on and off to keep my my temperature correct and program functioning year round.
I think that's a common feature now, but it wasn't five or so years ago.
The fact that the house can take three hours plus to hear up makes the online feature nice when on business trips of indeterminate length too.
On Apple it causes a hang warning with an option to force close, doing so kills only the tab in question.
I doubt anybody is going to replace their stereo with this.
People are going to replace their Bose with this.

The way I read it puts it at 41-50 for the Midwest.
On the east coast they're better than Sprint, and very very close to at&t (area) and better than at&t with data (area one can stream video).
They aren't there with Verizon, but they aren't bar none the worst coverage, and they are notably improving year after year.
They still have some patchy spots.

I'm most excited to maybe get a vague representation of what an old quark document may have looked like.

According to this link, that was true in 2009, but false five years later.

Horses are fun, they still exist.
But I'm betting ICE cars will be relegated to go carts and kit cars in the future (100 year timeline, not 10).
Yeah, this seems like a really bad idea.

Getting over perscriber and selling half is SOP in my city.
It actually would be a good test for their AI though, to see where it goes with solved languages.
I suspect that an AI may perhaps have been able to decode that hieroglyphs were the same as the Coptic cursive, and maybe even relate them to the existing coptic language.

It's ambiguous, but acceptable use IMO (as an American).
Often North America refers to the whole Continent, but usually just US, Mexico, Canada, (Greenland?).
I believe the Mayans were into Mexico though, which is unambiguously North America.
They tend to hide it at my house, wither behind the porch couch or between the doors.
No, just think that enemy is a pretty harsh word for a country we have normal diplomatic relations, no war (or even proxy war), and a lot of trade with.
Additionally, when dealing with money g is ambiguous too.
G is used for grand often enough.
K for thousand, and mm for million is unambiguous when dealing with money.
