A quick thanks for that one!

Most impressive, really, is that it's 100% perfect power uptime for almost 10 years. Great DC.

omg, takeout. Been using various scripts for years (and should keep testing them I guess [1]). I have "Feature announcements" on from Google, but never heard of this. Anyway, thanks mucho! [1] http://www.makeuseof.com&

Indeed, if only all such disclosures were so transparent. I suppose transparency ends up being in reverse proportion to perceived liability, or some approximation thereof. This seems rather minor.

Indeed I've been waiting for something like Owncloud for Django or Flask or something Pythonesque for a while. I'd join in if there were a better Pythonista to start it than myself.

I'm not so sure. I think the big difference it would make to have cars talking to each other is that they can all know where the other (within a local range) is heading, make interchanges more optimal. A lot of traffic congestion happ

I agree, but I think traffic is really more of a classic "socialism vs. individualism" problem. Tragedy of the commons and all that. I think it's a little more zero-sum than many would have you believe that capitalism is, at

I've had one for the better part of a year, and still can't quite figure out what it's good for, besides kitchen timer and weather. Most of the questions I ask it are returned with "hmm I'm not sure I understood the

It all depends on volume. You can buy a decent 8" tablet - with screen, battery, case, charger and everything that is on the CHIP - for $50 at retail. Cut out all those parts and at sufficient volume, $9 seems possible.

This is exactly the reason I used to quote when asked "why VR?" back in 1989 when I headed the VR project at Autodesk. Maybe that day is finally coming.

Um, wow. Nice work. It does illustrate (duh) that by not encrypting their wireless coms, their system is vulnerable to straightforward reverse-engineering of the RF protocol. It also illustrates that this vector isn't much of a threat

I'm very interested in this space. Had a "break-in" at my storage/office warehouse recently, and my camera-based alarm system failed me. It really wouldn't have mattered because it was a smash-and-grab that was ove

I think the problem is precisely that it is (maybe) a democracy -- and that's not what people expected. They expected a distributed, "trust free" network for clearing transactions. And no such thing exists, as it turns out. H

A friend just turned me on to acetylated wood: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetylated_wood A supposedly more eco-friendly way to make (e.g, ground-contact) wood rot-resistant. Sure beats cyanide, methinks.

I think both points of view have merit, but the user pov should probably be more heavily weighted. My experience with user testing is that if you give someone a UI and watch what they do with it (without instruction), you will quickly get a

Hey, I'm a (very minor) watch collector in Marin too! Seeing the same thing; very hard to find decent deals on CL / eBay, and much of the stock just seems gone. You do repairs?! How does one PM here...

Exactly, the problem isn't email, it's the level of communications you believe you are expected to maintain. Maybe you are expected to maintain this level, in which case you have a problem that no level of email-client fixes will

Yay! I often wondered if anyone used all those janky Canonical features they keep trying to stuff into Ubuntu. I guess it's hard to not try and become like MSFT, even if most of your customers use your product because it's NOT fro

So true. I remember the first time I brought up an old-ish Spotify playlist, only to discover that all of the songs were now unplayable, with no explanation. All of the songs still existed on the service, but those IDs just expired for

In American Morse Code, "HO" sounds like "HI" in international Morse Code, "HO HO" became "HI HI". Huh?

mDNS works for poo on many, many (non-Apple) routers and APs in the real world. It is a sad state of affairs.

Wow. Never read that explanation. Explains all of audiophilia, and most other 'philias. Mine's better because it's (slightly) different than yours.
