<p>Agree - I read this as it will be easy to replace the battery when it reaches its end of life and no longer can hold my charge. It will still take time to replace it, but that's okay since it'll only be done once every few years. It's not meant to re-introduce swappable battery packs, so you won't be able to carry spares on long trips etc.</p>

<p>The copyright holder can set whatever license they want, including writing their own.<p>In this case, I'd interpret it as they made up a new licence based on MIT, but their addendum makes it non-MIT, but something else. I agree with what others said; this "new" license has internal conflicts.</p>

<p>I remember connecting a VHS video camera directly to a cathode-ray tube (CRT) teve to produce funky patterns back in the 80's.<p>You did it in a pitch dark room, aimed the camera towards the teve, and have someone briefly light a lighter in between. That generated a visual feedback loop.<p>By rotating the camera upside down, the feedback loop would introduce systematic effects, because the camera's vertical scan is now opposite to the teve's swipe. It would create random, constantly changing, colorful, spiraling patterns.<p>You could move your hands in front to adjust the patterns and control the brightness that could increase due to the feedback loop.<p>Stunning, cool, and fun.</p>

Some people don't even know they have it. I always had it as far as I can recall, but it wasn't until my mid 20s, when I stumbled upon a picture, that I reflected on it and the fact that not everyone sees number forms.</p>

<p>In the same situation here.<p>Yes, it looks like traveling outbound from some major hubs is more expensive than from other places. A round trip SFO-XYZ two week ticket can be substantially more expensive than XYZ-SFO round trip for the same period.<p>Note that depending on when you travel and for how long, a SFO-XYZ-SFO ticket might be more expensive also because it is a shorter ticket (1 month or 3 month ticket) and it hits a high season period ("tourist season"), whereas the XYZ-SFO-XYZ is a long-term ticket (12 months) that avoids (most of) the high season.</p>

<p>Yes, the amount of CO2 each person produces is noticable, especially in such a small room.<p>If possible, keeping a bedroom window a bit open makes a noticable difference. Avoid closing bedroom door too.<p>Similarly, if you work from home, make sure to create a draft once in a while.<p>We got an Aranet4 CO2/humidity/temperature sensor mostly out of curiosity two months ago. Outdoors it's ~430 ppm CO2. 500-1000 ppm indoors is considered okay (according to the defaults), 1000-1400 ppm high, and >1400 ppm bad.<p>It's amazing how you don't notice how it slowly creeps up to 900-1000 and beyond. Without the device I would notice, except that I'd slowly get tired. I'd probably also drink more coffee. The device helps you see what's going on and how bad it is. Creating a big draft for 5 minutes clears everything out.<p>Also, you can definitely see from the historical data when one goes to bed in a ~12 m2 bedroom and then an hour or so later the second person goes to bed. Same if one gets up before the other. Definitely good evidence that keeping a window open is a good thing (if you got clean air outside)</p>
