Seems easier to fix than that -- just change the incentive. Instead of paying more for scooters that are hard to find or have been dead longer, pay more the faster people pick up, charge, and return the scooters to service. Pick-up, charge,

I got a yubikey a few weeks ago and enabled U2F wherever I could. You can also get yubico authenticator, which replaces google authenticator, but stores all your TOTP codes on the yubikey instead. I was always afraid of losing my phone with

I have two dogs that shed and was hoping a robot vacuum cleaner would save us a ton of time. I also thought our house was ideal for a robot vacuum cleaner (all wood floors except some low-pile rugs) and my wife and I are very clean and cons

Here's a photo of a motion detector with a lens and a light pipe above it: https://d1unzhqf5a606m.cloudfront.net/images/product/honeywe... It could detect a finger touching the surface of the light pipe.

Ya, they're not designed as detectors so there's no control over the parameters that determine how good they are as detectors. Interestingly, one of the reasons I was looking at light sensors was because our pyroelectric sensors w

LEDs were pennies but the biggest problem was some LEDs were super sensitive and some had no reaction at all -- so even with a bunch of LEDs you might just get all non-responsive sensors. Ultimately we wanted to detect the brightness of lig

I designed motion detectors for a couple years and once spent a few weeks researching the use of LEDs as light detectors. What I found was the wavelength each LED could detect and the sensitivity was inconsistent from LED-to-LED and inconsi

You are correct. Unfortunately I can't go back and delete my erroneous post or edit it. I misinterpreted the "total" column as total events, and divided them by the population. Hopefully people looking at my original post wil
