Netflix is an entertainment conglomerate that’s also, at its heart, a tech company. As it transitioned from a mail-order DVD rental service to producer of its own streaming content, it kept preaching the Silicon Valley motto of disruption. Netflix, said Netflix, wouldn’t be beholden to the old Hollywood way of doing things: Seasons would be released all at once, rather than forcing viewers to wait a week at a time for each episode! Creative people would be given creative freedom to make the kinds of shows they couldn’t anywhere else! Series that couldn’t survive in the traditional TV space could find a home on Netflix! Viewers could invest in new favorites without fear of abrupt cancellation!
If that were the case, however fine Tamarisk Row and its successor are (and they are), it’s unlikely you’d be reading this essay. Murnane’s international reputation, which has grown to speculations of a Nobel, rests on his novels and stories of the 1980s and 1990s, especially his 1982 masterpiece, The Plains. These are the works that have drawn comparisons to Borges and Calvino, two among the five authors (the others are Emily Brontë, Halldór Laxness and Proust) whose books Murnane said in a 2001 lecture were the only ones the then 62-year-old wanted to reread before he died. (He supplemented this list with the Australians Henry Handel Richardson and Martin Boyd as well as the Hungarian Gyula Illyés; references in his work suggest that Hardy, Lawrence and Nabokov have also occupied his attention significantly. He seems to loathe Norman Mailer and Peter Carey.) There was a hiatus of 14 years between the stories in Emerald Blue (1995) and the publication of Barley Patch (2009), the first of four books Murnane classifies not as novels or stories but simply ‘fictions’. In these highly self-conscious works he makes explicit his method of reporting on the takings-place in his, or his narrator’s, mind. Narrative thrust and intricate invented worlds give way to twisting examinations of the mysteries of making fiction, the act of reading fiction and the nature of imagination itself.
Erin Griffith explains how Silicon Valley’s hot young companies are no longer churning out must-use apps and gadgets on an everyday basis.

Upon entering the Conservatory & Botanical Gardens, the stunning 30-foot-high Osaka Castle replica stands in the center of the West Bed. Recreated in precise detail, the Edo-era landmark features shining golden trim and is flanked by two Japanese-style stone lanterns, illuminating the path to the castle. Colorful butterflies flutter throughout the bed which includes intricate topiaries made up of 2,000 fresh-cut carnations. Just below the castle, a waterfall flows into a wide pond accented by three lively fountains, a nod to Bellagio's world-renowned water feature along the Las Vegas Strip.
If One Day (which, like many of Netflix’s recent cancellations, was produced by an outside studio, Sony) wasn’t making enough money, then of course Netflix can cancel it. But just stick to the cold “not enough people watched” line rather than pretending this was some agonizing choice. Netflix is spending ridiculous money buying shows and luring producers to development deals. If the company felt One Day‘s value to the brand went beyond viewership numbers, it could have kept it at a loss. It didn’t.
While it’s easy to go out and buy one at the local big box, there are many ways to make a bird feeder right at home. In fact, a DIY birdfeeder can help with saving a few bucks, add a touch of homeowner personality, and make valuable use of what otherwise might find its way to the landfill. There are plenty of options for the crafty homeowner, and even some simple constructs, that the kids could do.
8. Find a sheltered location outside to hang your feeder - tying it onto a tree branch or washing line would work well.

Buying a fountain to create a calming mood with a gentle trickle can be different than selecting one with a more vigorous flow for a noise blocker.
I’m won’t claim deep expertise on these things…my experience in the Telecom industry is from 20 years back. Unless the reverse engineered circuit is missing a bunch of stuff, the line side interface to the POTS line is not up to spec. It’s missing all sorts of protection, there is nothing preventing a voltage transient from getting all the way to the DTMF decoder chip while the line is seized for example… From the picture, the spacing on the traces between the line side and the rest also look pretty close, you’d have to measure to make sure the distance was large enough to prevent line side faults from getting to the electronics. So this thing might work well today, someday it will probably suffer damage, and leave you without being able to operate the relay to activate whatever you have this connected to.
