   Yes, this is exactly what I'm looking for...a wifi switch with a documented REST API. I am in the US, but maybe I can get an adapter ;).

   Thanks! I actually have these already, I didn't even think they could be automated though. What do you use as the transmitter (I'm assuming you don't have a robot arm pressing the button on the remote ;))?

   I have a question for the home automation crowd. Are there any wifi switches (wall-wart style that don't need to be embedded in the wall) with an open spec or open source that I don't need a custom app with a weird protocol to tal

   Thanks for this, I'll try this next time I feel one coming on (assuming I'm at home and can get to some powdered ginger)!

   I've been taking Feverfew extract daily (the brand is Mygrafew, I think) and it has reduced my migraines by about 80%. For the rest of the time there's sumatriptan, which works about 70% of the time. Between the two, I've got

    I think this is a bit out of touch. People in the situation you're describing are generally coming from a place of desperation, not of careful contemplation. And yes, it would behoove them to plan meals and pinch pennies, but when you

    Um, google is taking people's pages and hosting them themselves? That seems like a copyright violation to me. If my website was being mirrored by google and they diverted traffic to the mirror instead of my own website, I'd be fil

    Even worse, from what I've seen in my lifetime, markets are very reactionary. How often/well do markets predict 50 years into the future? For instance a good long-term solution for climate change might be the movement to renewable

    This is really cool, and thanks for putting the time in to create working demos. I haven't done any game programming in Rust yet, but I will definitely reach for this if I do.

    If you're content losing 90% of your followers because the server you host on decides to implement draconian censorship or start charging $50/mo, then yeah, be my guest and use the protocol as it is. I personally think tying ident

    ActivityPub really needs some decoupling of identity from server. If a server I'm using starts acting up, the answer is to move servers, right? But, wait, my 50K followers from Server A won't be following me on Server B. Essential

    Here's a radical idea: get rid of the stock market and public ownership of stock. The only way to become an owner of a company is by being an employee. Essentially, all companies become co-ops. Investment of capital would happen throug

    Exactly. If the burden of collecting the debt is on the loaner, they will do a better job of enforcing who gets a loan (which is traditionally the job of the loaner anyway). Student loans get handed out like candy and now we have a continuo

    Yes, json export is planned, and should be launching in a few weeks (hopefully...I'm building on nights and weekends and I have a busy summer!) Out of curiousity, is there a more ideal format for import/export?
