Is there an API to convert primitive doodles into guesses? I'm trying to develop an app which would do this with things people "draw into the air" with their finger.

Some thoughts I haven't seen mentioned in the comments: 1. Diamonds, like gold, are highly portable pieces of wealth that hold value across economic shifts. When rich people go on the run, they usually carry hidden diamonds with them.

It's shame this is downvoted because it's the key insight of the two propositions: 1. the lack of ET-evidence is really odd and could be indicative of a barren universe 2. The outcome of 1 civ / universe is a really odd outpu

About 6 months ago, I reproduced this problem, cleared my cookies, and then it worked. Although I've never been able to reproduce the problem after that.

Thanks for the reply, I'm just seeing this. I'd agree with you that anyone who knows what they're doing and is looking to deliver a professional product will find the Arduino, it's price, it's libraries, unsuitable.

I'd equate this to breaking quarantine in a medical situation. Sure, to the doctor's trained eye, the little child did not seem infected and could be welcomed in. This of course is a noble act for that doctor alone (putting himsel

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. Actually I am, but it's worrisome to see how far certain groups' expectation have diverged from reality. Presumably the cops should have just shot the gun out of his hand or shot some ne

Can you specify what SO MUCH HORROR amounts to in the arduino community? From reviewing these posts, it seems like EE spend most of their day frustrated trying to get the device to simply boot or do the simple thing. If there's a tool

nl, do you deny there has been global warming? We've already warmed close to +1C. While this huge +1C warming crisis was going on, we raised agricultural output by 10x. We've gone from thousands of people dying in hurricanes to do

In the same way that PG showed us how startup = growth, AGW = continued exponentially growing emissions.Since the effect of CO2 on temperature is logarithmic, there can only be marked warming in the continued exponential growth scenarios. E

geothermal cooling. Really? For a private residence north of Toronto? I have a $50 AC in my bedroom, that I'll turn on at night to get to sleep. That cost maybe $10/month in electricity. I don't see how the upfront and mainte

Depends on your denominator. For example, WTC was bombed in the 90's but it didn't fall down. Lightning doesn't strike twice but terrorism does as it seeks out theatric and thematic targets in well known areas. So I wouldn&#x

A cheaper and dirtier way to do this is to solder onto controller's pcb. Each joystick drives an X and a Y variable resistor, and measuring the voltage across output and gnd pins shows it ranges from 0 to 3.3V with 1.67V at neutral pos

I was thinking prions might be a good candidate for OOL. Early Earth apparently was rich in amino acids and so chains of them may have formed natural proteins. So a prion - a functional protein that can change other proteins into its shape
