There are historical reasons why the existence of dealerships would have helped the consumer -- via more showrooms, real estate, distribution, etc -- but I'm of the opinion that those times are past. Things like the internet have most

The "How it Works" page looks very clip-art-y to me: http://sprayable.co/pages/how-it-works/ Reinforces the homeopathic points I suppose.

As much as I'd like this to be true, I don't think it's the case. There are both secret- and top-secret-level clearances for civilians, and are usually dealt with in conjunction to companies and labs providing products and se

This appears to be the first device running the MSM7225A at 1GHz (many other android devices use this, all at 600MHz or 800MHz). Edit: also very surprised there's no bluetooth support.

I've heard 40 days is enough to develop a habit (or break one), so to me this is a good period of time to try to work out the kinks of getting into (or out of) something.

No -- they just open sourced the website code. Does the rPi even do anything with TrustZone?

To be clear, the source code for the website http://raspberry.io was open sourced. (Not any more source code to the embedded device itself) Github link: https://github.com/python/raspberryio

I'm curious how far away the display visually renders? Do you have to focus on very close objects to see it sharply (and then can't focus on faraway objects)? Does it rest in a medium-ish focal zone (10-30 ft?)? I'd love a

The diets dont look really applicable if you don't cook for yourself. Are there coaches that work with zero-cooking lifestyles, or is that just out of scope for Weilos?

Reading the press release, the firmware mentioned is neither das u boot (a bootloader) nor "open firmware" [1] a boot standard used by IBM's Power systems. It is the actual chip firmware, and this is the first I've ever

These all seem prime candidates for some kind of learning algorithm (at the very least a naive one). Like TCP's window size scaling, just for settings that are too complex to bother with tuning.

Not a bad idea, but also nearly everything we interact with, technology-wise, has microcontrollers of some form or another. The AVRs so adored by the arduino community actually exist in large volumes in automobiles, and even crappy USB key

Theres a lot of great articles on Scaled Composites (both before and after they won the X prize) that describe the culture and what it was like to work there. http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/11.07/space.htm

That is closely tied to "who gets to audit the source". E.g. the FOSS community wasn't a fan of only-trusted-secure-boot when it was microsoft holding the keys and the source and releasing neither.

I'd assume it depends heavily on your antenna configuration, line-of-sight, polarization, noise, etc. Edit: I sent a question on kickstarter asking about TX power limitations so if mossman answers it, the answer will appear in the FAQ

Unlocking does a factory reset by design. If someone was to steal your (locked, password-protected) device, and could unlock it without wiping, they could just flash an update that bypassed the password and dump all of your data. Or even
