<p>Sure, but not all retaliation is equal and nation states know what constitutes escalation vs retaliation without escalating.<p>I'm failing to find it, but after the recent Israel <> Gaza war kicked off, there was an interesting article about the types of military actions between Israel <> Hezbollah and what constituted "not escalating" vs "escalating." The different attack options for each side were asymmetric, but basically both sides had "ramp up the conflict" and "ramp down the conflict without losing face for not responding" options.<p>Unless this is a prelude to more attacks, this feels like a "de-escalation" option to me: Iran gets headlines, gets to negotiate, gets to show its strength domestically, but if this is the extent of it probably no one dies and the damage will be limited to shipping insurance costs and the like. Big $ numbers, but not blood.<p>That isn't to say some terror group or 3rd party (Saudi, Houthis, etc) isn't going to take this moment to take a swing at one of the parties involved, it's always possible.</p>

<p>I'm glad that so far there haven't been any reported injuries, and I'd rather have ship hijackings than missiles or car bombs.<p>Hopefully this is the extent of the retaliation, but who knows.</p>

<p>This is a really high quality comment you've written here, thank you for posting your perspective.<p>For those of us who don't know about testing, can you explain COA/GMP and how robust the testing process is?<p>The reason I ask I'm a little concerned about Amazon's incentives not being aligned with consumers priority for high quality and safe product and is letting suppliers choose which product(s) to submit for testing rather than doing periodic random testing which I fear is too much to hope/ask for...</p>

<p>Unless you have experience using your JD in a corporate legal dept or law firm setting that probably won't get you too much of a lift, but certainly doesn't hurt.<p>If you read the job req I think they're quite open to someone with little management experience, if that is something you're interested in.</p>

<p>That is one thing Wyze doesn't have: A dimmer.<p>I use: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N106YN7" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N106YN7</a> then connect the Leviton dimmer to Google Assistant for voice routines crossing different app gardens.<p>I don't use colored lights, but you could use smart bulbs or fixed colored lights controlled via smart plugs depending on your use case. Or just get something with built in multi color, like LED strips.<p>There are some LED strips that maintain programming thru powering off, just like how oil radiators with physical switches maintain settings thru powering off. These devices work great with smart plugs, and in the case of an oil radiator can be hooked up to a smart thermostat for a cheap man's smart home, fully portable for moving or apartment swapping.<p>I can do a longer write up if you're curious.</p>

<p>Fair enough, I've generally gone with cheaper lower end products and some of them EoL, some die, but I write that off as a nature of playing with more little computers than my ancestors could have ever imagined.<p>It probably is important to note that like many modern tech systems, they aren't "hands free" automation. Patches come out, things desync from the network, etc.</p>

<p>I agree with this.<p>I intentionally buy switches not bulbs or more complex gear. Then you plug your dirt cheap LED dumb bulb into the lamp and have it turn on and off with your voice. Much cheaper to replace when the bulb eventually burns too.<p>Its stupid simple, just make sure everything connects to your assistant of choice (Hey Google / Alexa / Siri - maybe?) OR just stay in one company's walled garden and you're fine. Personally I'm a fan of Wyze's hardware but don't use their apps or more complex cameras.</p>
