If i am not mistaken - this paper seems to look at explicit "Smart Speaker interactions" - not passive background listening which is what I believe you are alluding to.
Not arguing that I am saying that latter does/doesn't happen - but just that this paper is not proof of it. And there is a big difference.
One example I am trying to wrap my head around is if you have two adjacent polygons (say California and Oregon) and perform an interior cover of both with variable hex sizes.
It seems possible that a child hex might actually slip outside the boundary - since the 7 children don't fit squarely inside the parent (no pun intended).
In S2 it guaranteed that any child cell of the S2CellUnion representing that cover is strictly inside the polygon bounds.
This doesn't seem to be guaranteed in H3. I could have a location that is in Oregon, that depending on the child resolution could slip into to Oregon instead of California - or vice versa?
Now imagine an business application where a user must be mapped to one of 2 physically exclusive regions, (for say pricing, legal, compliance reasons) it seems like exact containment is preferred.
Perhaps there is another way to employ H3 that would mitigate this?
H3 doesn't guarantee a child hexagon at level N+1 strictly belongs to 1 parent at level N. S2 is built on this exactly this primitive, but then struggles with cell-size variability across latitude.
This lack of strict hierarchy seeming negates alot of practical benefits (e.g tree data-structure that maps well to sharding and aggregation). Whilst I haven't dug into H3 that much from a practical sense - but I have build several Geospatial systems with S2 that exploit this strict hierarchy - I can't imagine this isn't a huge pain-point with H3.
Would be interested to hear of how these approximate cases are handled at Uber or in any practical setting.

I have used Numi for several years - and versus Alfred/Google variants i have found Numi to be incredibly helpful for most back of the hand calculations.
I have yet to find an alternative that is more convenient
1) Configurable keyboard shortcut to bring this up
2) Good units/percentages/bytes support
3) Variable assignments / custom functions
4) Long History

It appears that Teton County Wyoming is the county that pays the most on average at 67k.
Does anybody have any insight into why that is? For the most part i understand that high taxes in the more populous and economically prosperous zones but why a county in Wyoming?
edit: From the nested link
> "In addition, some counties that host popular ski resorts—such as Pitkin County, CO (which contains the city of Aspen) and Teton County, WY (which contains Jackson Hole)—also have notably high income tax burdens."
