With an external base station that talks a different variety of RF, I think you could get an IoT system to "stacks on a coin cell". Heck, Electric Imp is close to that size. https://electricimp.com/

libfreenect will remain open. PCL and OpenCV will similarly remain open. The loss of Primesense is the loss of NITE. The only recourse is a team building an open source skeletonization alternative.

Mandate that the new businesses hire only locals. I think this handily solves the problem - rents can't go up too much, otherwise the possible employees leave and the business shutters. Locals are employed, business runs, things impro

There is a misalignment of incentives. You want to be able to consume X on any Y. Companies want to sell you X on the expectation that you've bought their Y. Given that they've already been extremely successful doing this, X is o

The core idea in this article is that it is possible to convince Cole, a 24 year old making mid 6 figures in finance, that he should have instead taken a job making mid 5 figures (maybe) at an energy startup. I don't see how you can ma

Just spitballing, could you do this by asking humans to differentiate two images that have been classified the same way? For example, for the pocket square set, once there's a reasonable single cluster, could you randomly choose images

Work on "human in the loop" classifiers have been around for a long time. That said, this is very interesting. The real innovation here is the untrained humans feeding the expert system via simple visual identification. This req
