Looks nice, I may use them. I noticed in the docs you said they are great for desktop, mobile, or (emphasized) "IoT devices with limited resources". These run on the client side which means they won't typically run on IoT de

What was it "meant to be"? I'm completely ignorant of the politics but my assumption was that every cryptocoin post-bitcoin was a way for the creators/developrs/owners to make money. Did the creators make money? S

I like how a few comments up you're saying how harmful Windows is and implying how easy it is to run Linux and Servo and here you are complaining about mismatched libraries.

The original comment was about turning lights on and off. You implied FIND is better than motion detectors at this ("your solution creates more problems than FIND..."). In most cases this is false, due to the negatives I outline

I love home automation but unfortunately can't think of any beneficial use-cases. This would require each person being tracked to have an android based device with wifi enabled and the app running. I can't track my children, I ca

Motion detectors have a variety of usage, outdoor lighting, indoor room lighting, grocery store fridge lighting, etc. FIND is a bit more specialized because of the huge drawback of requiring each user to carry a specific device. I can&#x27

I think he's trying to focus on the model, not the price. I'm not sure why you think he'd object to a $60 base price or what that has to do with his point.

They're doing exactly what you recommended by speaking with their wallet and letting others know about the bad business decisions. There's nothing juvenile about sharing an opinion.

Looks amazing but I doubt I could follow the curriculum without some class videos and feedback on homework/projects. Unfortunately they don't teach in my area and the online courses are much higher level.

Ok... well that was my entire point and the reason why I stated that it's not fair to call all forfeiture as "stealing".

I don't understand. If a cop pulls over a drug dealer and happens to find drugs and $1M, isn't that still counted in the graph as forfeiture? Let's assume the drug dealer is convicted.

While it's shocking, is it really all "stolen"? The linked case is absolutely appalling but doesn't this graph include forfeiture of real drug money as well? For example, here's a quick $90M bust: http:/&#x2

Probably because twice you said "It is going to bomb" instead of "I think it is going to bomb". It may very well bomb but probably more so because of high cost and lack of "killer" games. I've never heard

Lighting systems are very common in the building automation industry but they're typically connected to physical switches. Placing a computer or tablet there doesn't really change things - this could have been hacked regardless o

Come on now, you really think people should be able to unplug cables anywhere they go? This could have major consequences at a hospital. Edit: Completely agree Ska, no excuse for making it this easy. I'm just pointing out that just b

I mean he did unplug network equipment and MiTM, if this isn't illegal it probably should be. I see ethernet cables all the time in things like hospitals and hotels, should anyone be able to simply unplug them and put their laptops in

This is not "Internet of Things", this is "Building Automation" and it's been the norm for decades.

It's already possible, any physical lock or home or safe can be opened with a warrant. The fact that we're almost at a point where we can hide something from the government (even with a warrant) is groundbreaking.

Just because they haven't replaced coding in a text editors for all use cases doesn't mean they "failed". In my industry (PLC, building automation), visual programming languages are the norm and are extremely successful

Adobe Flex did that... with a plugin. I could easily create any app layout quickly without coding, without relying on hacks. Flexbox is better... but still overly complicated and requires hacks.

"Do as I say, not as I do". It looks to me as if Ben bundled Archaius several years ago and just recently made it a "soft dependency" which isn't required. Couldn't you say he's learned that a "gazi

The world is changing. Our industry is changing every day, week, and year. Developers before you laughed at your high level C while they were using punch cards. The successful ones realize this and adapt.

Copying an entire site is a bit different, if you copy one of their articles I doubt anything would happen. Maybe a sternly worded email. If you copied their entire site, used their name, and removed their ads I'm sure they'd get

Isn't "non-issue" a big of an exaggeration? If the dry cleaners lost my clothes, the bank lost my money, a valet lost my car, or gmail lost my inbox I'd be angry.

There are white frats, black frats, party frats, and studious frats. You can justify generalizing all you want but it still reeks of ignorance. I'm sorry that some of your friends from highschool turned into douchenozzles, I'm su
