I was particularly looking for such (in fact these ) questions while going backwards through the article again, and I must say: I don't think you have a point here. All of these steps can be easily done while the lock is on the door.

We did a local "parenting course" (changing diapers, putting on clothes on a new-born, etc.). Its main purpose in fact was to get us to calm down and listen to the baby instead of all the advice. And that's what I want to say

Quite a lot of indoor localization/positioning attempts rested their hope on such use cases. Almost nobody wants to use it that way (tested, worked and failed). It remains an idea that sounds great behind desks.

Aesthetics are such a poor/difficult topic to discuss, unless you want to go the academic/philosophical route. In fact, as soon someone feels the need to defend aesthetics in the first place, I'm starting to feel twitchy - fo

You didn't listen it seems: There is no commercially exploitable banana for export that we know of yet. Going from Gros Michel to Cavendish required rethinking how we farm, harvest, ship, ripen, sell bananas. Cavendish could simply not

Hm, IMHO most of the ridiculed under "paranoia" would not be ridiculed anymore post-Snowden. Government listening on all your Internet activity? Remotely destroying hardware? I mean, not only are these things possible, as we now k

Also, what happens to the stuff we toss into space? People still seem to make the same mistake our ancestors did regarding tossing stuff into the ocean. To be more precise: achieving a velocity high enough to e.g. detonate on the surface of

What's the benefit of being part of this network? Isn't LoRa basically just intended to be used one-way/upstream, i.e "node --> gateway --> end-device"? What am I missing?

Hm. Technically, can we even say the evacuation was "completed" when a considerable amount of passengers never left the plane alive? Have you ever unboarded a plane? If so, you clearly remember that every single hand luggage item,

In my experience, you acquire (i.a.) your behaviors, your values, and in particular your coping mechanism to most degree from your parents (or whoever raised you). Your peers never have enough lever on you. The way kids look up to and depen

But you still want to sell it. And more so, you want to please the majority. Oherwise you might be killing the product by picking a niche.

You would be surprised. As long as "demand" is analyzed in the hypothetical, your results will be skewed drastically. There was a grocery or meal shipment start-up based in London that had all analyzed demand by studying their pot

Look, everyone is different and so is his/her path. While we have some ideals, e.g. as portrayed by pop-culture, it does not mean that you would even enjoy living this ideal. Your life will be what you desire it to be, if you are able

Your post is mixing arguments with idealism and very specific angles, e.g. on what the cloud is and how it works. I'm pretty sure RH means something completely different when they talk cloud. Most of all, I think your post comes down t

Not entirely true in my experience. This would be particularly national interests and don't explain EU subsidies. When staying particularly in Austria, the subsidies are there because national politicians and EU politicians from Austri

Same thing in Austria, at least until a few years ago. Farmers still complain over falling milk prices, and that they cannot survive. Yet the market is still saturated, milk was literally drained down the gutter regularly, every milk produc

I was hoping to see MacOS style three-finger drag being available through this. Unfortunately, it will technically most certainly not be possible to augment it this way, and the maintainer of libinput considers three-finger drag as a luxury

Facebook didn't use hg until 2012 or later. I was talking and only know about the state of hg in 2010/2011 and at that point, git was widespread, stable and widely more useful than hg for anything besides simpler/smaller proj

We used hg in a uni project once, since large parts of our team had never used a VCS, and on of our advisors urged us to consider hg. (This was around 2010, so I guess hg improved considerably since then.) Even considering the additional ov

I met several seemingly charismatic "leaders" in my professional life that turned out to be manipulative egoists that didn't care about the effects of their doings, unless it affected them or their plans. We, that were affect

There is a fourth category that fits your description of charismatic people quite well IMO: psychopaths. The distinction can be quite hard and might take some time.

Interestingly enough, MikroTik routers are mostly well supported by OpenWrt it seems. At least that's what my search for something that is beefier than regular OTS Routers has yielded. Flashing OpenWrt is a little cumbersome though. TP

I urge you to look at IP (v6) stacks that are small enough to be feasible on small microcontrollers, or even better, their spec, e.g. 6LoWPAN, and all the trade-offs and shortcuts they have to make. Then, re-evaluate if the increased comple
