Eh. I just turn updates off. It solves the issue sufficiently.

Why is it so hard to acknowledge that plants: 1. Feel 2. Learn 3. Respond to pain 4. Not respond to pain if under anaesthesia 5. Chemically whimper if they are sick 6. Communicate ... That there might be s

A computer I'm reasonably sure isn't alive. But the internet with emergent behaviours, I'm not so sure. But that's a "Ghost in the Shell" style discussion. > Plants do not possess a nervous system capable of

Not only that, but plants respond to stimuli, remember, chemically 'moan' when sick, scream when they are being harmed or killed (grass cutting), and talk amongst each other (again, chemical triggers). If you don't eat living

That's what I've been doing. For the local hardware, I use Arduino Nano clones, nRF24L01+ mesh networking chip, whatever sensors/actuators, and the MySensors library. Encryption and packet signing are both turned on. On the

That's what I never understood about Microsoft. They're a software company. And some of it is absolutely horrible (Sharepoint), and some of it is the best in the business (Visual Studio). There's a significant mindshare in Li

I've been working with a new set of software that does precisely that. 1. Publicly available, with the link. 2. Immutable data, by definition is read-only. 3. Users can easily view the root directory and every file enclos

Some of those are honestly pie in the sky, I'll admit. But still seeing a statement that's where resources would be being spent would be ideal for some of those. With regards to Tor/I2P, It would go a long way to be able to u

I'm glad I have :) HN seems to have gotten poisonous with people saying "you cant, you wont, you shouldnt".. and yet the alternative solutions aren't posited. That disturbs me. I try to set a rule, that if I complain abo

That's not as bad as I was thinking. It sounded like (and documents are sketchy) that this was some sort of shared SQLite db over their net. It sounded rife with potential problems and interesting injection issues. I've dealt with

I sure hope so, regarding Tor and Mozilla. Aside my scripts that make .onion resolution on a Linux machine work, it would be nicer to have a simple and clean interface here. I certainly understand the hesitancy with IPFS. It is still too ne

I don't know.. That just seems inelegant. SQL was great years ago. But after working with things like MongoDB, MNesia, and blockchain tech, SQL based databases just seem inelegant.

I have a recent Samsung refrigerator, which has a nasty habit of forming ice in the fan blades. Samsung refuses to further warranty it.... So, I use 2 thermistors and a photoresistor and equipped them in my fridge. I used an Arduino Nano cl

I'm building my tools from Node-Red, so they're in JSON. But the caveat is they fill my niche I need. The TOR part, is something that would work everywhere. Configuring Hidden Services isn't hard, but resolving .onions across

With their current implementation of IR laser structured light, your architect is only going to go to the construction yard at night, and have to turn the sodium lights off. This to me, is a much bigger failure point with the way the Holole

The "Product Evangelists" refused to answer that, by talking about how Cool the platform was. And it was also limited by the fact that there were only about 7 minutes of questions taken. My guess is that yes, they would sync to

The IR emitted is a structured laser light at IR frequencies. They're already using "lasers". The problem with using any sort of structured light is that your frequency can't be in the same band of any sort of flood ligh

If anything, I would consider their videos and their dishonesty as fraudulent. It's also telling, that my previous post in this article was modded down pretty hard. a few of us went to Chicago to demo this, and I was sorely unimpressed

And the [2] video is already a steaming pile of bullshit. The AR side is equivalent of taking a 6" phablet and holding it at arms length: that dinky rectangle is your augmented viewport. It doesn't do anywhere near a full AR on ev

Cost is only a part of the problems with this platform. IR scanning is inherently erroneous. I simply can't be: 1. Outside 2. Near windows 3. Near IR flood sources 4. Reflective/glass areas It just doesn't work on any of thos

Hmm. I thought they canceled this project. When I demoed it months ago, it was so not ready for primetime. The AR area was pathetic, and it used IR lasers for scanning. The AR area is self-explanatory: when the size is not much bigger than

I was hoping for a roughly low barrier of entry, rather than try to figure out who will trade USB for ETH, as I have no BTC. In all honesty, I'm looking at distributed applications as well, which from what I read Ethereum says it does

1. I've tried JS on and off, in Tor Browser, and in a proxied stock firefox. 2. No. It's a crapshoot. Sometimes it does, but about >75% of the time, it goes into CAPTCHA loops. 3. There's plenty of things that could be don

I wish it were that easy. When on TOR, the "() I am A Human" doesn't show up. Instead, you get the reCAPTCHA 2 jibberish words. Unfortunately, many of what you're given aren't readable at all. Now, you get that CAPT

And CloudFlare is destroying user's abilities to use TOR in any meaningful way. What we get when we hit a CloudFlare backed page: CAPTCHA, after CAPTCHA, after CAPTCHA. And not only that, but it's Google's reCaptcha, which ma
