2. It's on the list
Edit: Oh, you mean the specific collection of their previous casts. I guess you could say they're not in production any more because that list is a "best of"
(Though GM-Holden do sell apparel .. to bogans)
> As someone who lives with three adult roommates who all have S.O.'s we have people in and out all the time.
Do standard keys not work for this? Or do you often have bad breakups that would mean physical danger if someone didn't give their key back and the landlord couldn't replace the lock?
> As someone who lived by himself in college it was nice to know when the landlord came by.
Interesting .. it's illegal here in Australia for a landlord to enter a rented property without seven days notice and they can only do that (twice?) per year for an inspection. It's possible that it does happen to some people, but there's fairly clear laws about it.
> As someone who runs a startup, it provides more benefit than a typical modern access control system without the $3000 price tag.
Again .. keys aren't that expensive if you're not using serviced office space.
> For American locks, the deadbolt provides most of the security. The handle can usually be loided and is kind of only useful if you're stepping out for a minute to grab the mail and want to shut the door behind you.
Interesting .. is "loiding" really a common problem that causes most break-ins? Around here, nobody bothers with locked doors. They either find a window that's open (or can be forced) or they move to the next house. (Or they're meth heads who'll just break shit and nobody's lock would stop them). Basically, nobody breaks into anywhere via the front door.
> For letting someone in remotely, you usually have an idea that they're coming over first. If they were to show up unsolicited, you would likely call first.
I'd never let anyone into my house that I wasn't expecting and had therefore not provided a key for. If a friend arrived at my home unexpectedly I'd .. actually, that's never happened.
Thanks for your response and entertaining my scepticism!
Yes, I can see that temporary access would be a good use-case.
But it's probably cheaper to buy more swipe cards or keys at the office than pay to make sure everyone has a compatible phone with them.
1b. That's the most expensive let-in-a-neighbour idea ever. My neighbours have a spare key to my place. If you're going to trust them once, why not just trust them?
2. Again .. a really expensive solution to this simple problem. How often do you actually leave your door unlocked? Or are you just scared and this device will give you needless peace of mind?
3. The point is that this device lets you unlock from anywhere in the world. Why would you unlock it from anywhere other than your house?
4. What if the neighbour in 1b decides to use the knob lock (after all, it's his habit to lock) and you left your keys at home because you have your phone?
Please, someone who has reserved one ..
WHY do you need to open your deadbolt from anywhere other than your front door?
Do you often find yourself down the street / at work / in an overseas hotel with the need to open the deadbolt?
Don't you want to see who's there?
Don't you have a second lock built into the knob?
It's an interesting idea to control a mechanical object (lock) with an internet connection, but a deadbolt?
How about fitness? I do fun-runs and I would KILL to have playlists for warm up, first 1km, middle run, last 500m, victory and warm down.
If you're explaining the game of 'Go' to me and I stop you and say 'Tell me about a time you achieved success' then I would expect 100% of candidates to stop talking about Go and start answering the new question.
On the other hand if I stopped you and asked 'Why do you think the counters are black and white?' I expect 100% of candidates to give me an answer that's fairly short and then continue with their original answer.
I can't think of a single question that would separate people into two groups.
These are tunnels over 3km long. You can't have cops down there without breathing apparatus - even if the extractors were safely operating.
Copywriting rule number one: If you have to use an exclamation point, you need to reword the sentence.
"He's fast, strong and can jump!" vs "Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound."
I just did a company search for Register.com, opened their page, click to see employees and every single one of them has a 'Connect' button.
What's the hack?
You need a simple statement of what the project actually achieves for me, not random promises of "versioning" or pictures of calendars. I've no idea why I need them.
Rob Walling's "Promise to verb your noun" is a great way to quickly get something up.
Edit: Just read about it on Wikipedia. Now I get it.
