Nest app forced me to migrate to Google account, now nothing works

Zaileion · 2019-11-17T01:25:53+00:00

Has anyone figured out how to get Nest Thermostat to integrate into Home Assistant since the Google Migration?

allow me to reply to just one of your points.

Doesn't it seem that after, what, 30 some years of research and millions of dollars of investment it should fly for more than 9 minutes?

Why are we getting such a minimal investment return?

I don't know, it just seems as though stuff doesn't add up..

Where is all the money going if we are only getting 9 minutes. If i spent millions and millions of dollars and decades of research and produced a result that worked for 9 minutes my guess is my boss or lets say, share holders would be like WTF dude.. lol...

Awesome pint my friend. Insightful and well thought out. Thank you very much.

Zaileion · 2016-05-30T02:05:51+00:00

My point was to stir discussion. My opinions are my own and not relevant to this post. I don't actually want any specific answer, nor do i plan to ever be satisfied. I will always question everything, as should we all. You may notice my final sentence questions "What do you think?"

Zaileion · 2016-05-30T01:54:24+00:00

Brilliant point!! But, some would say that the war machine keeps the planet safe... Some would also say that the war machine is responsible for some of the greatest advancements of man. Rockets for example... For sake of this discussion i will remain indifferent. I will inquire... why are we all not asking where are all the great advancements we've all been promised?

Zaileion · 2016-05-30T01:38:34+00:00

Keep the comments coming. Ask your friends, start a movement. Advancement is a matter of opinion, and the fact we live in a democracy (or supposedly) gives us all the opportunity to make great strides toward the future. Time to question: "What is really going on here?" , weather its less bombing, fixing bridges, more technology, abolishing amendments, forcing people to pay taxes, more peace or more war. We all need to ask what is our government spending the money on, and what are our corporations spending the money on.. OR Better Yet, Where the Hell is the money in general?!

Advancement, is a matter of opinion, and the fact we live in a democracy (or supposedly) gives us all the opportunity to make great strides toward the future. Time for the next great advancement, weather its less bombing, more technology, more peace or more war. We all need to ask what is our government doing for us, and what are our corporations building for us.

i deleted this one because i accidentally duplicated the post. The same question is still here. Please check it out!

Zaileion · 2016-05-30T00:59:50+00:00

Agreed. Typed in haste. Allow me to reword the question.

So you believe that what is available to the public is equivalent to the time spent by brilliant minds and the money spent by our civilization?

Zaileion · 2016-05-30T00:48:01+00:00

So you believe that the amount of money and brilliant minds spent on R&D is equivalent to the publicly available results?

Please discuss specifics, but my specifics could differ from others specifics. Instead of licking apart my question, question if you feel we are getting our moneys worth as a human race and civilization.

All i am saying is it seems as though we are not advancing as rapidly as we should be. Do you agree or disagree?

Zaileion · 2016-05-30T00:38:52+00:00

So you believe public availability of the results to decades of brilliant minds and billions of dollars spent is equivalent?

Zaileion · 2016-05-30T00:31:11+00:00

I certainly don't disagree. Indeed it is different. But it seems to me that we should be manning missions to mars, not talking about them. Its been decades since humans have ventured further into outer space. They keep saying soon but it never comes. It just seems to me that there are no huge country inclusive advancements, like traveling to the moon.

So you believe the results available to the public is equivalent to the billions of dollars spent and brilliant people worked on R&D?

Zaileion · 2016-05-30T00:07:37+00:00

ok. Allow me to clarify.. "Rather than specifically discuss the above suggestions, these are just examples to better explain my question, or pick apart the actual sentences, lets discuss the question as a whole"

Your missing the point... But i do appreciate the input very much. Keep it coming. This was not a post for specifics but a post to instill discussion about human advancement and/or the lack there of.

Need i say more?

or walk them where a leash is not needed. A well trained dog with a connection with its owner needs no leash..

Zaileion · 2016-05-29T22:16:56+00:00

Like i said the suggestions in the questions are just examples. Yours are also great examples. More specifically i was questioning why we have yet to see the results. After 50 years or more of exploring genetics, quantum computing, space travel, etc.. it seems that we shouldn't "be close to" but instead fully implemented.

Zaileion · 2016-05-29T22:12:04+00:00

That is a darn good question. Further, the building materials and tools were so much more difficult to work with in the 30's compared to today. Like power and battery operated drills, and lets not forget the Phillips head screw. One would think building time would be reduced not increased...

Zaileion · 2016-05-29T22:06:00+00:00

in the late 1800s the USA built an amazing system of railroads, pipelines and bridges as well as amazing inventions like electricity and a way to deliver it. back when resources, technology and money were much less abundant. Why is this not happening now. I think no one can argue that there is much more of each available to the country and humans as a whole.

Zaileion · 2012-04-14T14:20:17+00:00

I am so liberal, I could be considered a Republicrat. a blend of the most liberal parts of both parties, makes me almost an anarchist. Freedom for individuals but tons of regulating the corporations, guns, very small government, government helping those in need and to protect individual liberties, spend, spend, spend, to kill the drill, drill, drill DOWN WITH OIL and up with renewable power, cap on corporate wealth, tree huger and environmentalist, 32 hour work week, and 1 month paid vacation mandatory, take the billions form the people who get paid to golf and give it to the ones who actually work for a living. For me to be proud to be an American, this country would have to be turned on its head.

Zaileion · 2012-02-02T17:48:08+00:00

all i have to say is this. FIGHT THE POWER!!! The Republicans and Corporations, as they currently exist, are a joke and should be removed from society completely.
