Did they lose money or is it attributable to a capital expenditure cycle?

The devices need to leverage existing standards like TCP or UDP. Then the battle of IoT protocols happens between MQTT, CoAP, and existing things like HTTP. For the extremely tiny devices with low power budgets, these may be too heavy.. s

While I understand the concern about tracking peoples presence with phones, I don't feel like this is new. The cellular companies can track location, and it's already happening.

BLE is not ideal for accurate positioning, or RSSI for that matter. That said, it works for proximity, which should be sufficient for many applications.

I think the quote means: "I learned that you should go straight to the person you're upset with rather than go to authorities [in prision]." Are you saying this quote is bullshit when it applies to the world outside prison,

I experienced a strange side effect when experimenting with melatonin: My vision degraded as if I was having a migraine. I experienced tunnel vision and colorful artifacts without the headache. I can't say with 100% certainty that m

We can't accurately meter our performance, intelligence, and behavior. We also can't control our environment (not realistically anyways). So, it's anecdotal. I'm excited for sensor networking to get in the body, so we

As of right now, with WebGL enabled, there is no confirmation of execution... it just happens. One time confirmation of execution per domain per code load might be a good option.

Agreed. At it's heart, web design should be about conveying information effectively.

To me this looks like top notch execution of a silly idea.

It's really an set of tools for lxc. Create "images", boot them, and have a sandboxed execute environment for some service(s). There are repositories with services pre installed. You can get a service running with a command like: docker r

Having the ability to control the height of your desk helps. When your feet get sore, lower the desk and sit. It also helps to keep the leg muscles active with small movement.

Perhaps it's more about marketing. They gain visibility and can measure customer desire with something valuable: money.

Try zooming in and out. It feels like it changes the FOV.

This post somehow triggered me to grab "Learn You a Haskell for Great Good" this morning and I have been gorging on it since then. I've had quite a few "holy shit" moments.

Java 7 failed to excite me. Java 8 however, has many features that I can use today. Lot's of stuff from guava, cleaner anonymous classes (lamdas), trait-like interfaces, FluentIterable++ (streams)... it's a good time to be a java develope

One of the best features of the RPI is integration with other hardware (i2c, SPI, GPIO). It's neat to toggle a motor from a bash prompt. When that goes away, it's just a linux box. It looks like you are having fun though, so I applaud th

They are not changing the path of Linux, but the path of graphical UX on Linux. I think it's a good thing. The GUI is simple enough for my grandma to use, yet I can open a terminal and have a very familiar experience. I see no harm here,

I like the idea but I am not familiar with dynamic columns in maria. Is it possible to query dynamic columns in a way that map to a column slicing operation in cassandra?

Well done! This fits the bill perfectly for me. The only problem I see is requiring location access. It miscalculated my location.

SSE creates a persistent connection. On disconnect, the client will automatically attempt to reconnect.

There is nothing inherently wrong with long polling, but when you consider the overhead of a small payload (let's say 4 bytes for fun) the HTTP request headers add significant overhead. WebSockets have very little overhead for a 4 byte pay
