The red ones seem to have institutions, not technology, as the primary controllers of price.

That's the correlation they were looking at. It just leaped at me how much of each product or service was performed by people earning less than what we consider minimum wage

The red ones are important things, the blue ones mostly silly stuff.
The far lower end, TV's etc, are products that reached maturity.
Meaning that there is not much relatively big improvement left for the product, not much added features, or relatively high cost involved for R&D or changing the manufacturing line and/or supply chain components. You can postpone replacement purchase decisions because performance of the older product is still ok-ish compared to the latest model. And the manufacturing process goes in maturity mode as well: meaning economy of scale, consolidations, squeezing out sub suppliers, cost cutting to the bone. The potential for fashion changes in low (available in add on apps). There is typical only the general steady technical improvent. TV's get bigger or higher solution.
The neutral products, cars etc, are products where it stil possible for the sellers to add desirable features for the consumers, that involve relatively high R&D cost or involve relatively high cost to change the manufacturing line and/or supply chain components. You could continue in your old car, but your status demands a latest model. You could buy a minimal car, but your status demands a bigger car with more features. Typically the manufacturing process is in maturity. But the higher rate of change needs better quality suppliers and workforce. With closes the same but more simple: you can always postpone decisions to buy new, but as long as the products are not to expensive and enough status desirable from (rapid) fashion changes, it is worth some money.
The medium end, housing, food a mix of neutral and higher end.
Higher end from medical care, child care to education are all very much related to improving and protecting the future in longer term considerations. Triggered by hopes and fear. They are service based and also characterised by a cost structrure of more labor, knowledge and faster change. Innovative, not mature at all, but still in the booming phase, here and there cashcow.
The top, hospital care the same cost characteristics as high end but now driven by more immediate need.
In terms of marketing strategy a Star with good profit potential, a big ever growing market, and lots of innovation potential.
You could say all in all that the diversity in products is much higher than the necessity of labor.
If the graph would also have shown the diversity in wage/salary increases, not by market sector, but by qualifications, and represented that in a matrix, the graph would be more telling.

How does the system know which rooms are occupied?Here's the state of the house about 10 minutes ago:
Also, doesn't it creep you out a bit?

I had the same question at first. After almost a week using this, it seems to be a simple sensor that detects significant enough movement.. or something like that. The way it works is if you walk in a room, it will detect you and say (Occupied) for about 1 hour. So then depending on the time of day (and the day of the week), depending on how I have the schedule set up, it might include the temperature of that room in the average temp calculations (which determines if the AC is on or not).
I am not really sure but I read somewhere the system "learns", so it might with enough data figure out which rooms are not really visited that frequently, and not weigh their temperatures as much in the calculations. That's just a guess, but the average you see on screen doesn't always correspond with the temperatures of the various occupied rooms. So it's a bit odd, but I think the system is adjusting over time and compensating. For instance there is a special "sleep" comfort setting, that always kicks in at midnight and ends at 5:30am. During this time only the 2 bedrooms are included in the average calculations, and the sensors don't matter. So whether the sensor senses movement or not, it will always include these 2 rooms in the average during that time.. I think. So I think it knows what the bedrooms are, conceptually speaking, and I think it figures out rooms you don't visit frequently, etc. It also probably figures out what floor everything is on, since hot air rises, etc. For now I have 4 "comfort settings" set up, I have "home", presleep, sleep, and wakeup. There is also a special "away" setting, which I have for now turned off, since there is a dog here and I'm not sure if the sensors will pick up the dog (the sensors are all at about 5 feet high as per the instructions)
Yeah but then I remember than the Russians have already probably seen my penis and know more about me than I do myself, so who really cares about privacy
No but seriously, it is a bit creepy. If my roommate goes downstairs to take his dog for a pee, even if i can't hear it, if I've been checking the thermostat on my phone lately I might see the status of the room change or at least know it changed. Or if I'm work and checking the temperature sensors at home, it tells me right away if anyone's home or not. Or vice versa, if he's out and I'm home, if I step in his office to steal things again, he might just be looking at the temperature settings and see that someone's in there

Roads in Canada.
It bothers me that there's one spot in western Ontario with only one east/west road connection.

Yep a bridge on that stretch got damaged somehow a couple years ago and.. the country was split in 2 for a bit.

You get to drive through the US to go from east Canada to west Canada. What's not to like?
It all sounds like a recent X--Files episode.

I found a path in the U.S. that goes from Canada to Mexico crossing only 24 paved roads big enough to be shown on my 2002 U.S. road atlas. There were another ~10 gravel roads it crossed. I don't know if it's possible to do it with fewer crossings. There aren't too many roads in most of Idaho or Nevada, and the deserts of California don't have many either.

It's a hypothetical path.

So much space wasted... Cant they build parking lots or something?
And pave paradise?
Broken_Erika
Play with me.
a lot of those areas are permafrost, so the parking lot would sink.
