There's more to making electronics than getting into MIT and prestigious universities. I think a lot of the users on HN like myself enjoy creating things just to create them. I don't need prestige or accolades; just build somethin

This is what happens when you give children the tools to succeed by teaching them math and science in ways that directly relate to their world view. Obviously, this kid is very bright, but giving kids the tools to understand how the ideas t

Hey there, great job! I've been messing with Arduino and Rpi's for years, but just recently started trying to go lower level with some Atmega AVR's, while learning the fundamentals of circuit design. Your project is almost ex

Right!? This just shows by example the basics of calling the socket syscalls via Python. I still do not know how these syscalls work or what it really means to be listening to on a port.

You're missing the point. It's home automation, not home connect everything to your phone. The whole idea is to create custom automations using network connected devices; the ability to use your phone as a switch is just a bonus I

Crystal City is filled with landlords and building owners that feel like they are entitled to price increases ever since Amazon decided to build their HQ2 there. I was there before and after the announcement and the real estate prices doubl

You're 23, it's not super uncommon for binge-drinking to be the center of your social world (at least in the US). I would not drop your friend group immediately, as others have suggested. Stop drinking to get trashed, and start dr

No one asked you to take any drugs? No one is forcing you to take drugs or be a hippie, what does that have to do with anything?

Oh no! Not peace and love! You assert evidence of a clear neurological affect, and then edit your post to say that science can't measure it, and it must be "mystic" or "spiritual".

Pretty irresponsible of them to assume that themselves and their friends anecdotally got hives from a vaccine and post it on the internet. Hives can be caused by almost anything your body doesn't like. Without evidence other than anecd

> The clinical evidence that it "exists" is an interpretation of common grouped symptoms... There can be no real proof that it exists or doesn't, because there is no underlying cause that can be tested for. Incorrect. Here

Can't speak for everyone, but my personal reason for following parts of the "FIRE" movement is not the "retire early" part, but the "financial independence" part. I don't want to retire at 35, but I w

This is how I view it. Unless you work for a startup where you need to churn out code every hour, you are paid for your expertise and ability to navigate incidents quickly and efficiently. You are a force multiplier as well as an individual

Fascinating that they have to physically screen individual molecules one at a time to see if they can bind with a specific protein. Even at a Princeton lab, it took years. Are there other institutions/companies working in this space?
