It gets worse. As I posted elsewhere in the comments, an article in Nature[1] suggests that up to half of humans ever to live have died as a result of mosquito-borne disease. In light of those numbers I feel we are ethically clear to take

I'm going to need a source on that. Fewer than 30 out of 3000 species of mosquito feed on humans. There is little reason for us to bother with the rest.

If you're going to weigh the social factors in wiping out the 20-something species of mosquitoes which feed on humans (out of > 3000), I think you need to factor in the possibility that malaria (and thus mosquitos) may be responsibl

I guess my earlier comment was too long, so let me provide a shorter version: this action actively harms anyone attempting to design, prototype, and manufacture electronic devices in the US. There isn't a single component in the proje

It's a small fraction of the overall list. I only included those things which might be of interest to a hobbyist/startup designing and manufacturing electronics for consumer use. The point here is that the list is far-reaching a

You seem to be suggesting that the simple addition of a degree requirement is good because it narrows the search field. By this same argument, I could say I will only accept candidates that are left handed.

You can get commercial Z-Wave tilt sensors for approx ~20USD a piece that will last a year or two on a single battery. With those you can mount them directly to the door (because wireless) but obviously you need a Z-Wave radio on your auto

He mentions later in the thread that he doesn't have a sensor to indicate door position, which is going to kill this project and absolutely prevents an idempotent approach. There are a bunch of ways to approach this, most of which are
