This campagin is still alive in China today. But the circumstances are different tho, distances are closer (denser community), and drviers use mopeds insteads of cars (can navigate through cities faster than cars).

And if an order exceeded 30 mins, the customer will receive a 9-inch pizze coupon.


This brings the memory of BigPipe, facebook has had this years ago (using JS of course).


Looks like it's a long running node? Or am I wrong?

Does it have on demand workers like those Kubernetes providers, where you use shared master nodes (or with a very small fee), and scalable node pools on demand (charged when used).


That sounds awfully like Couchbase, which allows you to query/update databases that will sync to remote and the back to peers. And you can control the process (auth/business logic) with sever side JavaScript plugin with ease.


Creator of Couchbase Mobile here — I’m doing a new web-based thing[1] with a similar reactive API. I’m hoping that my encrypted block replication makes it more of a “data anywhere” solution than a “local first” database. But the paradigm of powerful databases in the browser is definitely one I’m glad to see becoming popular.

Very exciting I shall as I was a fan of your prior project!


you can always do geo and browser signature checks aginst sessions


If you have malware on the hotel computers presumably you could make the malware make the request. You can't get too aggressive with your geo/browser checks because there are probably a lot of legitimate logins where the owner is doing some work from home or from a different location.


I mean if the malware has total control of the computer, there is nothing you can do. But if it’s just stealing cookies, then there’s already a lot of existing technologies to prevent that.


Smart home is not about just turn on/off lights remotely. It's about do it automatically/reponding to other interactions.

i.e, when sunlight is out (in HA, you can get sunset triggers), and when there are people present in living room, turn on living room lights.


Or "when the only occupant opens the front door and drops off the network, turn off all lights, arm the alarm, turn off the stereo, and yell at me if the cooktop is drawing power".


> and yell at me if the cooktop is drawing power

For standard power outlets I have "smart plugs" that measure the power draw, are there ones that support 40A/240V appliances?


I'm a zigbee fan, mostly because there's such a wide variety of devices.

I almost exlusively use zigbee2mqtt [0] reference to find devices that suit me. Searching for `meter` gives a lot of options, you'd have to do more investigation to find something that supported 40A, but my guess would be that a clamp meter is likely your best option.

It's also possible that you could use one of the DIN rail options in your fusebox, but I haven't looked at the current ratings.

You're gonna need power meters for that. E.g. check out the Shelly *EM series.


I wrote a little script for my homebrew ESPHome-controlled CW/WW LED strip to automatically control color temperature based on if and where the sun is in the sky. Warm-only when the sun is down, mix of warm and cool when the sun is up with peak coolness at solar noon.
