I was looking for something similar earlier this year and ended up with SOPINE's cluster board. It only supports 7 ARM modules at a time but you can always stack multiple boards. Its also inexpensive. The SOPINE board I have has worked

The VA is not fit for purpose. I don't blame you for thinking that govt. run services suck but frankly how the US treats its veterans (not just medical health but also pensions, etc) is shocking.

To the contrary I have extensive experience with governments and I happen to live in a country with a well funded national health service. My own mother uses the service regularly (heart / digestive system conditions) and she always re

What the article described is just one device. With all the sicknesses and ailments that afflict people, the insurance companies must have a very extensive playbook... Or you know, get a national health service that treats human beings with

I wrote "Democracies tend not to pick fights" because I knew someone would mention either the US or the UK. Of course the US is democratic, however it is also a super power and until recently was a trusted keeper of the peace (s

Very true, but I listed three points, the third one being a well funded social welfare system. As you say people suffer disaster - work place accidents, chronic health care problems, unemployment through no fault of their own. You need well

Can assure you I didn't! "because shit happens and people get sick)" - indeed a national health service which is free at the point of use is fundamental to eradicating poverty. As someone who's family has benefited (and

The only "algorithm" proven to fight poverty was discovered a long time ago and its really simple: 1. good jobs paying living wages (so parents have economic security) 2. decent, free education (so the children can have a future)

I was familiar with Van Gogh's work long before I saw one in real life. The paintings on a 2d page did not have much impact. I only fell in love with the impressionists (not just Van Gogh) when I saw the original work - its the brush s

I have considered getting an artist to reproduce a Van Gogh the old fashioned way - painting it. Never went ahead with the idea but I assume (I am not a painter) that modern high quality oils would allow a reasonably talented artist to repr

Thanks for the link! Didn't know the technology existed. However, browsing the site it appears that only a few (250) repros are made available - such a pity. Hope the tech gets applied more widely.

Fantastic resource but rendering (post-)impressionist paintings onto a 2d canvas removes a vital element from any such painting - the brushstrokes. I still remember the goose bumps I got when I first saw a Van Gogh for the first time; the p
