Comment Re:But why a smart garage door opener? (Score 1) 126

All I want is to be able to open and close my door from my car and inside the garage.

You're assuming that everyone has an attached garage. I have to keep a remote on top of the clothes dryer by the back door to the house to open the garage door. And the garage door is only visible from inside the house if the back door is open, so it's a bit of a pain to check if the garage door is open or not.

I looked at the RATGDO a while ago, but decided the convenience wasn't quite worth the price. I may easily change my mind in the future, though.

The only decent thing to do is to keep these anonymized. If they become public record every bit of personal information entered into chat GPT will be public knowledge. SSNs. ID card scans. affairs. mental problems. Health problems. There shouldn't even be a question here.

All of the logs would certainly be subject to a court protective order, and everyone involved takes them very seriously. Anyone that got caught publicizing protected information would be in very deep trouble.

To expand a bit, the reason that economists say low predictable inflation is good is that it encourages spending and investment and it discourages hoarding cash. If there was continuous deflation (such as Bitcoin), people would just sit on their money and let it increase in value instead of using it to power economic activity.

I would imagine that's a relatively small number, but I could be wrong. I also wouldn't be surprised if the sales numbers in November are lower than last year too. That doesn't necessarily change the overall point though - the sales in each month aren't nearly as important as the total sales over a longer period.

Because if almost everyone who would have bought a car in October bought one in September instead, a decline from October last year to October this year doesn't mean that EV sales are plummeting, it just means that a lot of people bought a car a month earlier than they otherwise would have.

If you can't understand that, I don't know how else to explain it.
