I don't buy that. The OrangePi is crazy for what you get. And it's $15 with $3 shipping. I don't see a reason to buy the CHiP, given I can get a OrangePi ordered right now and have them in 3 weeks.

I think the problem here is that capitalism when played out in a longer term, trends towards crony capitalism, fascism, plutocracy, and/or nepotism.

I know a good deal about the Middle Ages, being part of the SCA. And indeed, it did work pretty well. The problem is now is that it's not just 1 or 2 people involved with health of the area. It's the doctor, the 2 nurses, the 2 re

That's right, the capitalist-libertarian answer is always "Fuck you, pay me", or in this case, "fuck you, die". We have insurance. Its a great way to leverage the group so that all get a low rate. That given, "

Consent isn't always consent. In medical industry, there is the idea of "informed consent", which attempts to make sure both parties are aware of the consent given. (Mainly in regards to treatments.)

Yep. Node-red remixed with some MQTT in a non-supported way. yay. As for me, I'll roll my own and stick with Node-red, mySensors arduino/nRF24L01+ stack. It just works, and it works Now. And compatibility is easy to do. Connecting

OpenHAB is great, if it's a house. When you start to move in the area of building automation tech, we have to deal with Luteon. And that means MSSQL database, and "pain and suffering". And there's no way to dynamically e

I'm rolling out a test network at the university of IoT. Instead of going with XYZ expensive setup, I'm rolling my own using an Arduino (clone) nano, sensors, and nRF24L01+ using mysensors library. On the acquisition end, I'm

Sigh. I live in Bloomington, Indiana, USA. And our local grocer (Kroger) has Jackfruit. It's $5/lb and the pod is around 6-10 lbs. They had one on sale, and I bought it, only knowing the name. The thing was pretty good, given I kn

Well, good luck shoving this code back in the bottle (read: git archive). It's out and 22 public forks already. Who knows how many git clones...

Look at the bright side: in a few years, Apple users might be able to run multiple programs... at the same time!* * Like Windows and Linux.

Ah, true. I can think of microcontrollers without RTCs. But I usually handle that by ignoring time completely until acquiring it by the data logging device (usually a computer with appropriate time sense).

Yes, and bureaucracy never petitions for less bureaucracy. Only more. And we see this in multiple areas, and not just the FDA. FDA bureaucracy equals more people dying because of slowness. FCC bureaucracy equals regressive rules on radio tr

This makes a great reason to buy Chinese equipment. Do that, it might be substandard, but you preserve your freedom.

And why people are so scared about automation even here is: They know our current way of splitting up wealth and resources is not sustainable. Capitalism itself calls for lowering costs and beating "opposition's prices". This

Ah, so if every bank gives a 1000 page boilerplate "contract", and they all entail usurious fees, it's just the person's problem because they should have known? Well, fuck that logic. All the banks are acting in a cartel

No, I think it still is paranoid. It's just now provably true as well. I'm not entirely sure how much I believe the "MS sniffs your keyboard every half hour". However, with that kid-sniffer (search this page for imgur);

If you want to get into functional programming, check out Haskell or Erlang. Both run well on Linux.

No. The schools provide laptops to the kids. And then make them "kid accounts". Then the school process all of those reports and punishes based on them... or sells them to advertising firms.

Better hope the kid isn't GLBT in a right winger christian family. That would not go over well. "Microsoft outed me, and now I'm homeless", says 17 year old.

Unfortunately, they require large precompute time and static maps. If your maps change, you can't use it.

And this is the trap with sexist thoughts, like feminism and SJWs. Either pat them on their heads and go "Good try", or pretend that the females you hired are "equal" (animal farm) and put them in dumb roles.

Great idea... So they should start hiring women who don't have the skills over others (who happen to be male) that do. Wonderful suggestion. But I'm sure they can fake-make a few Social Media fluff positions for women to fill. It&

That's pretty much what I've come to. Linux is the way forward. Not Windows, and not Mac. Most of my toolchain exists in Linux, and much of it is developed and tested in Linux before anywhere else. WINE allows most windows program

Admittedly, my understanding of traditional optics is very limited. I happened upon it in a dream whilst trying to figure out how to handle dynamic scenes while using SLAM. I was thinking of a prism (new word: pellicle mirror) like this one

I had an idea similar to this that solved the oversaturation issue. Use 2 cameras. Have them at right angles to the shutter point, separated a few inches. At the T junction where the camera pointing would cross with the shutter area, put a

Greetings, I do agree that Moore's Law generally holds true. However a better model is an approximation of multiple S-curves, where each S curve represents the beginning, growth, and maturation of each step in technology. The smearing
