I wouldn't consider it an inconvenience in my kitchen. I'm highly interested in this. However, $700 is a lot. So, like others mentioned, I'd first like to see a demo video at the very least of it in action.

Different teas require different and specific temperatures for optimal results. A hot water tap cannot do this. I love the minimalism in the product design for this!


As an American living in Krakow for the last 15 months, Poland has near universal respect for pedestrian right of way. If there is even the possibility that a pedestrian needs to cross at a cross-walk, cars will slow and stop. In the US, this would never happen. When new Americans come through, we have to tell them very plainly they must stop for pedestrians everywhere, it is sacred that you let them cross. There are a lot of other related things, but in general, Poland in my mind places people above cars, so pedestrians are much safer walking around. The US could benefit greatly with this change in attitude, but I feel there is too much road rage and selfishness to accomodate this mindset on the road.


Just fyi, this is a very recent change of behaviour. As recently as ~10 years ago no one would ever stop for you in front of a pedestrian crossing in Poland. The law required you to stop but only if a pedestrian was already on the crossing - someone waiting on the side? That's their problem.

The law was changed to say that if someone is waiting in front of the crossing you have to stop(with fines for not doing so) and the behaviour has changed to what it is now - you are right, most Polish drivers will stop for you if you even look like you want to cross - but it wasn't like this not long ago.

It also caused a massive uproar across drivers, as if the sky was going to fall down if they have to stop for pedestrians - and yet, it's all fine.

So you know, maybe in US it also isn't a lost cause, maybe it could change for the better.


That must depends on location heavily.

While I have not visited the US extensively, I was very surprised when in California at how respectful drivers were with pedestrians, not just stopping for them, but stopping a few meters before the crossings.

Krakow was good as well, but not to that extent. In France, overall the rural part is pretty respectful, and the bigger the city, the worst it is (in Paris and Marseille, it's not great).

The absolute worst city I've been to in that regard was Naples, were motorists will not stop at crossings unless you actively step in their way.

So yeah, a lot of answers are going to vary drastically depending on what's the driving culture there. Universally motorists will stop at lights, because of that harsh possible consequences of running a light (getting T-boned), but stopping for pedestrians at crossings vary widly.


In the US this also happens, if, like in Krakow, you happen to try it in an actual old and dense city, like NYC.

It of course cannot happen in car-oriented suburbs, where you a driver can't even expect pedestrians to exist.


Suburbs in Poland still have pedestrians tho.


You can raise/pin the NSFW domains to curate the results yourself to what you'd generally prefer to see.


You could also set up a seperate NSFW lens based on what style of results you want.


Did you bother to search for a solution before typing this screed out? In Texas, there is the TX Workforce Commission, which is designed to operate and solve what you bleeted on about. I picked another state randomly from my head, Kansas, and it looks like they have a similiar workforce program for job seekers. They are not only for recently unemployed individuals. I used it to great effect to gain access to network and system admin training at a very low point in my mid-20's. I was the youngest person in my "cadre" by 10+ years.


Not all public unions are the same, I would discourage generalization. Federal public unions are very different from local and state public unions.

My wife's public union in a federal agency is a great tool for them to leverage when dealing with exceptional issues outside the normal channels and processes. Federal bureaucracy can be slow, and it can also be impractical when dealing with various things. As mentioned elsewhere in the thread and the article, a federal public union and their members can't strike, and they generally cannot directly negotiate increased pay since it is congressionally controlled.


Kagi are very open about their policy to submit feedback, bugs, and feature requests at https://kagifeedback.org/. I've not submitted anything Kagi Search, but I've submitted a few features and performance issues/bugs to their Orion feedback. I got replies from Vlad and Kagi employees within 12 hours. Feel free to suggest this as feedback I'd say...


GGP comment is from Vlad so I answered him here.


Aha, look at that.


Darknet diaries has done a few recent episodes on this topic. Episode 106 is about account handles told from the perspective of the victims, and it is quite sobering. Episode 112 is long interview with an individual who had hacked handles, and it has a look into sim-swapping and some of the tactics around that. Highly recommend ep112.


For the uninitiated (like me):

> All of that is true about my Army experience lol. If I could go back and do it again, I'd definitely choose Air Force.

Yes, it varies wildly based on branch, different units or battalions/brigades etc, and which MOS (job) you are. Or if you are enlisted or officer. I had a leadership change in my company over a period of like 6 months where all senior enlisted and officers changed, and it was like night and day different. Very micro-managed. It was like being back in Basic Training at Ft. Benning, insane. This ruined it for me, I chose not to re-enlist. I do really miss a lot of camaraderie, and every point in the "Why do I do it?" section of the article resonates very strongly with me.

I'd also chose Air Force or Navy instead of Army if I did it over again. Better training. More impactful missions I think for my MOS (Satcom). Not sure it would be available though, Navy and Air Force don't have as much "room" for folks then (2011) and especially now.


Space Force will be ramping up hiring as it takes over AF roles it's inherited.


As I understand it, space force is doing ramping up by keeping the same Air Force people in the same Air Force desks off the same Air Force building and changing their uniforms and insignia.


Well yeah, what’s it supposed to do rebuild all that infrastructure and institutional knowledge?


Not at all. But that's why they're not going to go through a crazy ramp up period.

It's also what happened when the Air Force split off the Army, which is why the Air Force has generals.

You can create port forward firewall rules to redirect any outbound DNS port 53 traffic. This will not work for DNS over HTTPS, which is going to be increasingly common for IoT I'd imagine.

edit: method for this on pfSense: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/recipes/dns-redir...


You could try this for DoH blocking. It probably needs help staying updated.

https://codeberg.org/unixsheikh/dohblockbuster https://openbsdrouterguide.net/#blocking-doh


Then you have to contend with DNS over HTTP, Thanks Firefox and Google....

DNS over HTTP has got to be the most ill thought out "privacy" feature that has done more to HARM privacy then it could ever help


> the most ill thought out "privacy" feature

Whose privacy? DoH helps to protect billions in revenue for the ad network that funds Chrome, Firefox, Safari and web standards.

A better web will need a different revenue model.

In the meantime, here's a maintained guide to blocking DoH with pfsense, https://github.com/jpgpi250/piholemanual/blob/master/doc/Blo...


Many of the biggest ISPs in the US are actively monitoring DNS queries, collecting the data of which sites you visit, and packaging it for sale to ad networks and data brokers. DoH stops that.


It really doesn't, as server name indication is sent in clear text. As encrypted SNI didnt take off, you dont actually get privacy benefits from DoH and friends, just security/mild inconvenience to censors.


> encrypted SNI didnt take off

Says who? I think your data is very old considering that ECH replaced ESNI 2 years ago. IIRC it has ~50% adoption, same as TLS 1.3. Just about every company that cares about security supported ECH for years.

Moreover, someone has to move first. If DoH wasn’t widely deployed you’d be complaining that ECH is useless because DNS is unencrypted.


Yes and it is better that google and cloudflare do that collecting under the guise of protection...

People really are gulible aren't they...

DoH is a not or a privacy feature. It simply changes who is collecting your data and makes it harder for responsibile network operators to protect their users under the guise that the big tech companies are really protecting the users from the network operators and "big bad ISPs".

Ironic given the billions big tech is making from that data.


Google and Cloudflare don’t sell data on dns queries per their privacy policies. Verizon does.


I see this common response, but that is not really a valid rebuttable. Companies do not need to sell your data to violate your privacy, in the case of google their entire model is selling their TARGETING, not the data. That is still a violation of privacy. The fact they did not "sell" it to a 3rd party to form the customer profile changes little.

In the case of cloudflare, it is going to be interesting how they continue to justify the free public services to institutional investors now that they are public. I have a feeling there is going to be some strong pressure to either cease the free services, or find away to monetize them which likely will involve some kind of usage of that data maybe not selling per say, but some other kind of targeting or something to add to the profitability of the company.

I am no more comfortable with cloudflare having my data than I am with google or verizion, I have never used any of their DNS services


Google doesn't sell targeting based on DNS queries.

> I am no more comfortable with cloudflare having my data than I am with google or verizion, I have never used any of their DNS services

It's not either/or. If you use Cloudflare or Google DNS and it isn't encrypted then Verizon has it too. With DoH they don't.


That's a stretch given the context. A smart TV maker can put whatever they want in their own client software. They don't care what features Firefox and Google support.


Who do you think was pushing for the DNS-over-HTTPS standard?

If DoH didn’t exist, a device manufacturer could trivially reinvent something equivalent. DoH isn’t the problem.


They could also do that with out DoH, they dont because it is not "trivial" and prone to all kinds of downsides.

DoH is the problem here, as it hides things from network operators making it harder to block ads, spam, and other items at the network level under the guise of privacy, when in reality DoH's actual goal is to further centralize the internet into approved gate keepers like CloudFlare and Google.


Smart TV retail prices are subsidized by revenue from data analytics on content search and viewing.

Web browsers are subsidized (free) by search (ad) revenue.


I would rather pay more for a TV than have it subsidized by ads. Or even better, a TV with no smart features, then I can just connect a computer for whatever smarts I want.


That is what I always do, HDMI is great for that.
