I did miss that clause, thank you for pointing that out!

“This Might Be the Fastest Storage Drive to Ever Go in a Laptop”

“Can’t speak to the power drain, but the Osmo provides stop/start and zoom/focus via hardware controls that’s transmitted over blue tooth. Those would need to be constant. Doesn’t make sense to me why it’s so severe.”

“the top of the unit pops off into a distinct hand vacuum for cleaning furniture and your car”

What is the Osmo doing over Bluetooth that it needs to maintain such a constant and power draining connection?

“Yes, they run on the same voltage as the rest of the house.”

“Curious why someone hasn’t made a combo smoke detector that also works as WiFi mesh APs yet. That’s what i thought they were doing w this system until i saw the nodes weren’t smoke detector replacements. Lots of homes have the detectors prewired for power so it wouldn’t be too hard.

“I’ve worked in the dynamic-pricing industry. Trials don’t always use truly dynamic changes to prove out the concept. Integrating two systems for a trial is costly and if gains can be shown without that work, it’s a win/win for both sides.

“But actual demand DOES spike on Fridays and Saturdays. The theaters measure this very carefully. They know exactly when their business increases. I used to manage a movie theater years ago and had clear analytics of projected attendance that I used to set our staffing levels. They were very accurate.”

“It’s interstong to me that this is being framed as a profit scheme. Uber, hotels, car rentals, restaurants, auto shops (to name a few) all utilize some sort of dynamic “happy hour” system to increase utilization, not necessarily to raise prices. A $5(normally $10) movie ticket and a $2 popcorn (normally $4) is still…
