Lots of places also have variable limit signs that get updated based on traffic, accidents etc.
Here in NZ those seem to all be marked on the speed limit maps as 100km/h even if in some places the signs never go above 80.
Ngauranga Gorge is one such location and I believe has the country’s highest grossing speed camera.
IR thermometers aren’t particularly accurate. Especially when pointed at reflective surfaces like glass, where some of the return will actually be reflected heat coming from you.
Most wall thermostats are designed to read the temperature of the air; the wall behind may be warmer or colder.
Oh, I’ve had the name for a lot longer than that.
As Someone Somewhere, I urge you to post more.
NZ law just says it has to be adequate for the intended purpose: https://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/2002/0035/latest/whole.html#DLM154837
(1) Subject to subsection (2), a legal requirement for a signature other than a witness’ signature is met by means of an electronic signature if the electronic signature—
(a) adequately identifies the signatory and adequately indicates the signatory’s approval of the information to which the signature relates; and
(b) is as reliable as is appropriate given the purpose for which, and the circumstances in which, the signature is required.
(2) A legal requirement for a signature that relates to information legally required to be given to a person is met by means of an electronic signature only if that person consents to receiving the electronic signature.
Has it occurred to you that sometimes there’s actual evidence backing up the things you ridicule?
You can go measure the acidity of rain in your back yard if you want.
The sunlight in NZ is far, far harsher than if you go a few thousand kilometres towards the equator, where it should be hotter. We have some of the world’s highest rates of skin cancer. Are you implying that crisis actors are faking having skin cancer?
That’s not bad pricing wise. There’s very very little prosumer gear that’s multi gigabit and it’s all much higher price, or it’s just a PC with several NICs.
If and when we move to hyperfibre this is going to be pretty high up on the list.
