Ah, the Kinect... platform for the first Matterport revision. (Matt B. is so next-level ridiculously creative, Adam Savage would tip his fedora.) Matterport is a really neat mesh/texture capture and stitching platform that I only saw

How would this be better than / supplement 0 lux-capable machine vision? Rangefinding? Doppler shift relative velocity? If the benefits aren't at least 3x better, it might not be marketable enough to justify the added complexities

Exactly. I fast for 6 days, no problem (after 3 days of torture). Right now, I have enough excess weight to survive for 40 days without food. And I know what hypoglycemia is like: lots of swimming all day as a kid; it feels like you're

This should be on (e.g., researched) Thom Hartmann and Democracy now. It would also be good if Warren were to weigh in if this appears to provide cover for this oligopoly club member instead of allowing redress by consumers (e.g., every per

If chainsaws were used in a mass killing, should we ban chainsaws? Or how about scissors? Saying police and government agencies "need" to have master keys to every building, network and endpoint is insane. This is the fascist Clip

That red strip on iDevices that changed in temporary high-humidity conditions. If Apple actually produced good PCBs and conformally-coated them and capped their JTAGs, water damage and corrosion would be much less likely.

Disclaimer: I worked at fast-food as a kid, used to live on multi hectokilo USD after university and live on just under 1 decikilo USD now. People making less have a hard time affording a baseline of basics. So marginal propensity to consum

Try it. :D Just better calibrate it often with whatever stable molecules are used for that and borrowing a known-good, real machine. Maybe record the uncorrected reading to get the drift (both kinds ;) at each calibration so you know if it&

Better have a way to dump it quick and have already sold put option hedges. Bitcoin is less risky used as an ephemeral CC and cash replacement.

As a kid, I had this vintage science experiments book[0] that had that and helicopter-parent-forbidden chemistry experiments (ahh, the era before abuse of torts). Inverted test-tube semi-submerged, filled completely with water, over each el

Gotta bodge together, rent, borrow, steal or buy an old mass-spec that works, otherwise taking untested kitchen drugs shares a lot of risks in common with taking street drugs.

Weak straw-man assimilation fallacy. Chicago has plenty of restrictions on guns but still has an extremely high violence rate, guns and otherwise.

That's an unscalable, intractable problem unless you go to a certain bar in Los Gatos, CA known as Cougar Central (pun intended). Many of the affluent "bedroom" (pun also intended) communities have bars with bored naughty fel

Yes. Changing privacy and security-implication behavior around without good cause for edge-case "usability" is silly. What happens, if say, a Syrian is killed by their government because they were able to use their gossiping devic

Yes, I've evaluated some of them too (great for some projects that need like a RPi but with custom digital / DSP logic), they're just not exactly mainstream as Xeon processors.

Yeah. I hate cigarette smoke with a passion but don't care if e-cigs puff all they want because it has almost no odor and little/no noxious particles. Therefore, it makes sense to tax the heck out of cigarettes and place them in a

My mom and aunt are fighting over this right now. My aunt moved in next to my grandparents some 30 years ago and has cared for them since that time. Then around 10 years ago, my grandfather died. Since that time, her assets have reduced b

The biggest problem with reconfigurable computing is it's either an afterthought, tools are too narrow/proprietary or an extra add-in card. Add a million LUTs and several thousand special-purpose blocks (ALUs, CAM, SRAM, DSPs, etc

The iOS 11 leaving the Wi-Fi on but unassociated creates a privacy vulnerability because the chipset will broadcast all of it's known SSIDs. Plus, whatever vulnerabilities remain in the chipset. This is terrible. When Wi-Fi is "of
