.. so you can flush without touching the toilet? .. brilliant :P
But that means you have to touch your phone, probably before washing your hands first. Less than ideal.
"OK Glass, flush!"

#15I'm going to go ahead and file this away as an example of how needless complexity can bite you in the ass. In this case, almost literally.

Less than ideal, but phones are a breeding ground for bacteria already.
...but hopefully not fecal bacteria.

#17According to this[0] the flush volume of this toilet is 5 liters. If it takes two minutes to flush and refill then the amount of water you could waste in an hour is: 30 * 5 = 150L If a family is away on vacation, you could theoretically flush for days. 24 * 150 = 3600L per day In Seattle the water costs about 4.5 cents per cubic foot.[1] (If it costs 4.50 dollars for one CCF (which is 100 cubic feet) then I move the…
I was always under the impression that our water in Seattle is cheaper than in most places?
Probably the greatest monetary cost you could cause the owner to incur is if they thought the toilet was faulty in some way due to the continuous flushing and had to call in a plumber.
Also I can't believe I'm seriously having a discussion about toilets on HN. Heh.

In Austin I pay about 1.3 cents/gallon, or 10.4 cents/cubic foot of water, $10.40/CCF. This is including waste water service, which is nearly twice as much as water service (but based on the same amount of water).
However, this is based on my own bill (total billed amount divided by total water used) -- a bit tricky since there are tiers and surcharges.
Also, we're under water restrictions due to the drought - water the lawn once a week, no washing your car in the driveway, etc.
