The RaspberryShake team makes a high-quality "Raspberry Boom" infrasound detector for hobbyists. Next Krakatoa, you can be prepared to detect it yourself. :) The "RBOOM" sensor alone is $300+, but you can also buy a kit

Part of what you think are compression artifacts-- the thin layer of "wrong" pixels-- are actually key to the illusion. That being said, yes there are still some compression issues. Another copy here: https://gfycat.co

You are correct--it is pretty disappointing they haven't made it available on normal kindle devices. That being said, I think you will be able to read it on the kindle player on a desktop computer. At least, that worked for me. I adm

Sweden had pretty good numbers over the summer, but sadly have a spike of cases over the last month. Essentially half of the total covid cases in Sweden have occurred in time. So with some lag, I'd expect another jump in deaths soon,

I'm curious: why not run one or the other in a VM? Looking at Mike's resume, the technologies he is working with (LAMP stack, Ruby, PHP) seem like they would run perfectly fine in a VM. I've been doing embedded development (

When he said "I am expecting it to end up under 170,000 or maybe 175,000.", if he had added "plus or minus 1.5M" that would have been clearer. Edit: In other words, when his prediction is given with an implied error of +
