This was a great article OP. But I think the author misses two critical points. Privacy and secrecy, in my mind, are questions of agency. In this context we're talking about information. You can, broadly speaking, only do three things

Good suggestion, though this could be true for both server-side processing and local processing. If you want the whole image uploaded, anyways - start that, and then run the crop in parallel, and just transmit the crop box once both are don

So I am definitely making a development-centered critique. Partly that's because most of my experience is in development, and I have very little experience in high volume product or DTC. However, I also think that the software problem

I'd definitely have an easier time overall with C#, no questions asked. I actually tried it briefly, but after a week of not being able to get a development environment communicating with Solidworks, I decided it was unjustified for ma

After working on hardware teams in various capacities for 6 or 7 years, I'm not surprised. Startups need momentum - especially massively successful startups. And hardware, at this point in time, isn't something that you can easily

I'd say that's certainly what we're closest to, but isn't the point to actually experience the transition? If all you have is an imitation, then you're still dead. Though, it might be nice to create duplicates of yo

Agreed. Especially given our limited (read: virtually nonexistent) understanding of how, exactly, consciousness is created, it seems to me that this gradual transition through an organically integrated component is the most likely scenario

I'm taking a 15-minute look at their IoT developer guide ( https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iot/latest/developerguide/what-i... ) to get a feel for what, exactly, this service is providing. My guess is that the

Presumably that's the large dataset he was referring to.

Thanks man!

Do you have any of the source on Github? I'd be very interested in taking a look and potentially using it as an excuse to get playing with a natural language toolkit (in all my spare time haha)

Two quick answers: 1. Could it? Depends what you mean by "cable technology like this". I haven't seen Robots, but this kind of constrained, multiple-degree-of-freedom movement would not be possible in an "open world&quot

I'm actively developing a network protocol for secure end-to-end datastreams between any objects connected to the same physical network. It's conceptually reminiscent of email in that you register an address and then use it on any

Arduino is awesomely easy in this regard, but lacks a proper operating system, and the individual pins have fewer modes than systems on a chip. That is, in a way, exactly my point: the operating systems we have are so bad at portable system
287.
by nbadg 11y ago
The problem is in pinmuxing. If you want to change the pins from their default modes, you're in for a world of pain. Systems on a chips (SoCs, basically run everything portable these days) are optimized to the point where different die

Some clarifications: first, I need to be clear that I'm not saying three protocols (one for each), I'm saying a single protocol that does all three. Approaching the problems separately leads you to something quite similar to the m

That effectively implement storage+sharing+identity? Not that I'm aware of, which is why I'm working on one ( https://github.com/Muterra/doc-muse ). Plenty of things try and tackle one or two of those but I&#x2

by nbadg 11y ago
Can you give some examples? I'm not aware of any protocols that fit the storage+identity+sharing triad I mentioned above (except the one I'm working on).
292.
by nbadg 11y ago
Agreed, and I think the critical inflection point will be the development of an open, decentralized hosting+sharing+identity protocol. Why all three? Well, I can't imagine an open hosting protocol without the hosted information being p

I don't agree that email is decentralized.[1] It's interoperable and universal, but that's not the same thing. You can use a single address for mail from arbitrary sources, and all email addresses, regardless of client or mai

I agree that hash-based addressing creates a bit of a chicken-and-the-egg problem for content discovery, with the exception of, for example, existing links or QR codes. You'll always need some way of looking up the hash for the content

The critiques you raise against Wikipedia, both here and in the linked post -- skeuomorphism, functional fixation, aversion to rich/embedded content, etc -- I think are very apt. I'll echo eponeponepon's comment: very sincere
