I’m not aware of Ubiquity doing this and I’ve not seen anyone else mention them doing this. In this day and age though, it’s certainly a concern. Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if all these companies are data mining everything we do online.

I’m not sure about Eero, as I decided to go with Ubiquity’s Amplifi mesh system, which is similar in price. What I do know is that the Amplifi system is absolutely amazing. My house is only 2,000 squre feet, but in 4 separate levels. I’ve never had a single wireless network which could blanket my entire home with…

I’m up over $112 now after starting in November 0f 2013 and that’s after a weird 10 month dry spell where I didn’t get a single survey. After upgrading from my Note 4 to the Note 8, I’m suddenly getting a few surveys a week. I’m not complaining as it allows me to make frivolous app purchases occasionally without guilt.

I’m sorry, but I don’t see racism as a problem in America. Does that mean it doesn’t exist in some small measure, somewhere? No. There are people who genuinely believe their race is superior, for whatever reason. Still, it’s such a small number as to relegate this as a non-issue in America today. All the heavy lifting…

There is no “one size fits all” type of punishment for children. If you have more than one child, it’s likely each child will respond in a different way to the same punishment.

I only disagree because some of the rules the IAU set forth for planetary status were arbitrary and odd. Mike Brown is often accused of being the Pluto killer, but it was probably as much Brian Marsden’s fault as anyone. RIP.

I’d have to throw Titan on that list somewhere. Yeah, I know people will argue it’s not a planet, but despite anything the IAU says, in my eyes, it’s absolutely a planet, and it’s beautiful.

I’ll go with the camera on my Note 8, but not until Amazon delivers the case I recently purchased. Until then, the phone is naked and vulnerable. I won’t even pull it out of my pocket right now unless I’m standing over something soft to protect it if it falls. So far, this camera blows my mind. It’s so much better…

Yes, I’ve read the AR4 report. An interesting thing is how much is derived from modeling. Read through the AR4 and AR5 reports and you’ll see that computer modeling is a large part of not just the radiative forcing chapters, but of many other chapters, as well. If you go back to the AR3 report, you’ll find and…

Is hurricane activity on the rise? The theory over the last 20+ years or so is that we would see more and stronger hurricanes. The last study I read, admittedly, over a year ago, showed a distinct decrease in cat 4 and 5 hurricanes but a slight increase in incidents of medium strength hurricanes. It didn’t consider…

It seems like you might have completely misunderstood my point. I’ll chalk it up as poor communication on my part and not a lack of understanding on yours.

But we understand the impact of increased CO2 in the atmosphere. We have understood it for more than 50 years.

And yet the warming is so insignificant that the error bars are greater than the reported warming. For instance, last year was reported as warmer than the year before but because of the error bars it was statistically tied to the year before. This is always reported as last year was the hottest year evah!!! without…

You might think so, but historically, the United States has had more hurricanes hit land than any other country, so it’s a metric often used when discussing hurricanes. NOAA keeps a handy list of them going back to 1851.

Please don’t conflate climate with weather. There are no climate records for the last 20 years. Not really. Anything under 30 years has to be considered as weather, not climate. Without a doubt, we know there are cyclical weather patterns lasting 30+ years. These multidecadal oscillations still aren’t fully…

I respectfully disagree that it’s global. Technically, it’s regional. Why? Because the climate doesn’t typically change in a linear fashion anywhere on the planet. We might have less hurricanes hitting land where other places might have more. There are regional changes where it might become cooler where other…

Not everyone agrees with Lomborg, but I find him intelligent, thoughtful, and generally without an ax to grind on either side of the political aisle.

I already have a lifetime Plex pass with 5 terabytes of storage on my Plex server located on my Synology NAS. I haven’t pulled the trigger yet on the OTA antenna and HD Homerun device. A buddy of mine has though with 2 of the HD Homerun boxes and he absolutely loves it. Just on his recommendation alone I think I’ll…

I’m not the racist. It’s the computer algorithms which are racist.
