Skip,
It does not know. A thermos has an inner vessel, a non-thermal conductive layer
and an outer shell. The middle non-conductive layer (could just be a sealed air
gap) reduces the amount of thermal energy exchanged helping to keep the inner
chamber at a constant temperature.

The mirror question is nothing compared to the thermos bottle paradox.
The thermos bottle keeps hot stuff hot and cold stuff cold.
BUT how do it know????
