I'm currently working on a project that involves using the Pi for 24x7 1080p video streaming and doing so without hardware acceleration results in lag. The experience with ODROID C2 on the other hand is superior.

Prescription drug consumers are a subset of the general public. But all of general public aren't prescription drug consumers.

I agree with you, the ODROID XU4 is significantly more expensive and doesn't have nearly as much support as one can expect from the Pi community. However, the ODROID C2 is priced similarly to the Pi and has more support than the XU4. L

Rx advertising / marketing towards general public is banned in most countries. However, many countries allow for Rx drug advertising / marketing targeted towards consumers.

Yes, Rx marketing to general public is legal in the USA, but the ads are regulated.

I agree, the XU4 is way better than the C2. > There is virtually no reason to get the C2 now I disagree with this though. The price difference between the two isn't insignificant. If someone intends to deploy hundreds of devices for

It worth noting that Apple Music is ridiculously cheap in India (<$2/month for Family Subscription which includes 6 people) which is also responsible for contributing towards the above subscriber number of 38M.

I've heard at least 4 people convey similar emotions towards Apple Music's UI. One of my friends dislikes to UI so much that he uses the app only through Shazam.

I'm a big fan of the Raspberry Pi community in general and have used it for multiple applications over the years; most recently as a media center TV box. However, the hardware now feels old and I wish for more of an update from the Pi

This maybe too far fetched, but I wonder if rewriting Indian history textbooks to make India appear more Hindu could somehow potentially increase our pace towards adopting Uniform Civil Code in our constitution?

I agree with you actually. Having studied ICSE growing up, those 2 topics are the most prominent parts of Indian history in my memory, after which come Maratha and Rajput history.

One of the qualities of India that I've appreciated growing up in modern India is how welcoming it is to all religions despite being super racist / castetist. As a Sikh who has cut his hair, I'm not sure what religion I belon

If the test data does not have a 50/50 split (or something around that ratio), the headline is straight up lies. Skewed test data is the most common problem with research, reminds me of this great video by Veritasium (Is most published

Exactly, I agree with you completely. I'm 23, I've been exercising regularly since I was 18 and I cannot imagine life without a 20 min run and some weight training daily. I workout for the high it gives me, it's the most sust

That doesn't sound good. Luckily here in India, I have to pay $8 a year for Prime and most items get delivered within 36 hours.

I've been thinking about this for a while. There really needs to be a tech etiquette guide especially with phones in pockets keeping us connected 24x7.

I hands down agree with you. However, authorities of Effective Altruism on other hand are focused more on what is perceived by the world as efficient damage control on a large scale. The ultimate learning digital world for kids might not be

I honestly think the desire to learn something is not something that exists inside us, but rather develops based on how we are appreciated the first few times we try to learn something. Can't fathom how kids can be interested or not in

I'm kinda surprised to read that WhatsApp hasn't really caught on in the US—in the sense that not everyone you know uses it (on the contrary, very few do). Here in India, the term 'whatsapp' has creeped its way into regu

With Musk talking about AI the way he is, seems to me that he wants to use his reputation and the public's naivety to instill fear and have some control over the distribution of AI that works for general purposes...sounds like a great
