Emergency care is around 2% of health care spending in the US so most healthcare decisions are not that time critical.

You can build a system that simply controls commercially sourced, UL listed, mains equipment. That top level comment mentioned using IR but you can also control cheap 433Mhz outlets with simple transmitters and a library like rc-switch for

Hit F12 on chrome and enter the following: JSON.parse('[9223372036854775805]')[0] === JSON.parse('[9223372036854775806]')[0] You should get: <- true Is chrome's implementation broken? Those are

This is yet another article improved by noscript.

Try passing around 64bit integers in json. The majority of json implementations only implement double float numbers and will mangle your 64bit ints. The usual solution is passing int64s as strings, nasty.

You include several clones built on Unity. These are not open source.

Calling all traffic collisions accidents is misleading. There are few true accidents, as in an event that is unavoidable. If a driver has a stroke or has a well-maintained tire blowout due to a manufacturing defect, that's an accident

Cars from the 80s and early 90s are not really comparable to modern vehicles. Modern safety regulations add a lot of weight. A good example of this is the Mazda MX-5. The original model from 1989 weighed 940 kg (2,070 lb). In 2009 Mazda mad

> they should absolutely walk their bikes. In many places of the US you have sidewalks built because they were mandated by law but are rarely used. A typical example will have a 4-lane 45+mph road next to big box retail stores. This typ

Please just use the ISC license. It's a permissive license that is as short as modern law allows. It's well understood and accepted. It's the default license for node.js packages and the preferred license for OpenBSD. https:

I recently had two < $.50 fee BTC transactions quickly verified. Segwit, among other things, is a block increase and enables the lightning network which will allow fast, cheap transfers.

It's not a real quote but suppose it is. A man had a concern 2000+ years ago. Somehow we are still here so similar concerns now are invalid. Is that your argument? If I find an ancient quote complaining that people were drinking too mu

Just checked my local water quality report and it has no mention of plastic fibers. That means I'm safe right? Not at all. Testing for the absence of specific dangers is not the same as safety. Consider getting a reverse osmosis system

There are so many simple things we can do to make more energy efficient homes but builders and buyers don't care. They will happily spend thousands on dumb things that are highly visible but won't spend a few hundred on something

Even when full source is available it doesn't really solve the problem. Many of the drivers provided for android socs are very poor quality and would not be allowed in the kernel. Typical problems include not using linux conventions fo

Modern X's network transparency amounts to sending images over the network. That's something wayland will do equally well.

The latest version of ME, 11, uses a x86 processor. That's why the researchers were able to perform this analysis and find the bit to flip. It also doesn't disable ME, just most of it.

Even if every chinese miner decided to collude and generate invalid blocks the result would be those blocks being rejected by the standard bitcoin nodes in favor of any valid blocks. Having a majority of hashing power does give them power b

It's illegal to require employees to have microchip implants in several states, including Wisconsin.

It's actually illegal in several states, including Wisconsin, for employers to require employees to get microchip implants. The motivation for these laws is exactly the scenario you've described.

That example shows using node.js as a WebRTC signaling server, NOT as a WebRTC peer client.

You're right. What I said didn't make sense. I was just trying to communicate that although webrtc is sold as a peer-to-peer technology that can avoid the use of intermediate servers, there are compelling use cases for client&#x2F

Wut? Are you saying node.js has access to WebRTC apis such as RTCDataChannel?

WebRTC works on android and will be supported by iOS 11, due to be released later in 2017. > But I thought the beauty of this would be transcending the need for native apps. Right now the only implementations of webrtc are web browsers s
