Make a tool that makes photo files out of data files. In its simplest form you just need to make the according header files (added benefit: additional meta data can be easily encoded). Because as a Amazon Prime photo storage is for free and

There are other companies in this field too. Right next town here is PolyIC who does printed circuits for years for use as touch buttons, printed RfID, and alike. http://www.polyic.com/

So why do you think Daimler has developed, and now just replicates Car2Go? Think about.

by PinguTS 9y ago
Fun, that's what I tell since years. That is the reason, why I believe its more companies like Car2Go have a better position than Uber. (If that future of self-driving cars and transportation as a service becomes true.)

I am completely with you. I know what you mean. I have the very same problems. From the history of Markdown, why it was invented? It is dead simple. John Gruber said: "I am en editor and HTML is to clunky for me, so I will reinvent the

Fact checking: — May 2015 Tesla announced: 38,000 Pre-orders for the Powerwall and 2,500 pre-orders for the Powerpack, which would equate to 25,000 Powerwall http://www.theverge.com/2015/5/6/8561931/tesla

Do not mix up Powerwall and Powerpack. Powerwall (2) is the actual product you can hopefully buy and get delivered. Powerpack is the actual product intended for large scale installation. But there, where only a few prototype projects. You c

Tesla presented the best in class Powerwall for an unbelievable cheap price. Everybody said at that time: impossible. Elon said: "We have this number of orders." Actually, you never heard of any significant deliveries. Instead: &q

The funny thing, some of this already exists these days. It is called ZipCar, Car2Go, or DriveNow. All of them suffer from the very same problem: service. It does not matter if a car is selfdriving or not. To be recognized as available by s

I think that totally underwrites the behavior of Elon Musk how I see it. Even if engineers know better that there are problems with certain design decisions and things have to be redone, Elon overwrites and say: "just do it, we will fi

How about an App that controls stuff where the iPad (or iPod) is just used as a "cheap" HMI. For example iPads are used in stage control with dedicated Apps. The hardware, which the App controls, does not change. But the iPad itse

That is signed by DigiCert vs. airbnb.de is signed by GlobalSign. Something fishy here.

If you want to talk about safety and reliability in automotive, then we talk about Autosar[1]. One of the concepts is to prevent the use of any dynamic behavior, which means you don't need any garbage collection at all. Because garbage

Funfact: about a year ago some semiconductor manufacturers wanted to standardize something similar: put JTAG on CAN bus. They explained it that way, that it would be a great benefit to debug ECUs via the on-board diagnostics port (ODBII) an

This article misses a lot of things technology wise. OK, I understand that. This article also misses a lot air companies like Daimler who showed off self driving car captibilities publicly in the beginning 2000 and on the web 3 years ago. I

The comments are very interesting. I think glasses are a very specific issue. The question is: do want perfect view or just want to see something better. For better view this is great. But for the developed world it is not comparable. Eithe

Actually, you can buy the car too. I have been driven in a S-class about 3 years ago that had the same capabilties the Tesla here has.

The equipment is available in the current S-Class and the most current E-Class, when we talk about the sensors and the actuators. It is different with actual ECU who does the computing stuff. BTW I doubt that the Tesla is ASIL D complient i

Which is only partly right. Also electric drives have a dependency of torque to rpm(1). But it is much more easy to control than an ICE. (1): http://lancet.mit.edu/motors/motors3.html

Which does not matter. Which matters more is, that NXP and Freescale (now part of NXP) are strong in automotive, which is not so much niche you think it is. While there is a smartphone comparable processor in the head unit, it is surrounded

It should be an IoT integration framework, which has 3,3 MB. That sound huge to me. If I have an embedded processor that has 1 MB of Flash, than that is already huge. Still this has to fit my application besides that framework.
