This seems like a good idea, but I hope it doesn't stop the recent tradition of yarn-bombing[0] the postboxes[1][2]. The ones near me are really creative, change with seasons & national holidays, and just add a bit of British whims

Zigbee2mqtt has a huge number of supported devices (here's their official list [0]), which can also be expanded if the existing mappings don't work. It took me a minute to find, but the full MQTT structure is detailed here [1], an

Have you considered Zigbee2mqtt[0]? You'd be running an extra program, but the docs are really good, it's pretty lightweight, and MQTT is incredibly easy to talk to from python or basically anything else. It's compatible with

Spore was especially interesting if you used the in game friend list. I had a great time experiencing worlds full of various creatures - a lot of which were from my artistically talented friend playing around with the creation tools. His ex

It seems to me that their view of bias is limited to a per-article approach. This could make it succeptible to broader narrative bias across stories - if, for example, the news sources are selectively only reporting on muggings when perpetr

It might need _some_ filtering of text - whatever your views of the n word, I don't think anyone could call it a mood...

Which fiasco are you thinking of? Or could you be confusing Magic Leap[0] (the Augmented Reality headset) and Leap Motion[1] (the 3D motion controller) (admittedly I swap the names around all the time!) [0] - https://www.magiclea

It definitely can be - I had a demo of Ultrahaptics' (now ultraleap) ultrasonic tactile system[0] 3 years back and you could definitely "touch" objects that weren't there. They only had the development kit out at the tim

On your first point about PEDs, I think you've missed that there's an element of safety they offer that prevents non-accidents (often referred to as a "person under the train" or other euphemisms). These definitely happe

I would guess that the money laundering potential is why it isn't around now - most stores don't let you buy a gift card with another gift card for the same reason (I've implemented this restriction in an e-comm site before).

It won't help you quite yet, but Google and Amazon resolved their issues around this in April[0] and their press release says you'll be able to watch Prime Video on your Chromecast later in the year. [0] - https://press

This[0] is from the organisation that got the files unsealed, and includes the "whale" reference at the beginning of the chat mentioned. Not sure it proves that 5-year-old were referred to in this way, but it does sound very casua

Worth reading the linked page [0] about one of the diver's custom reassembled rebeather, which means they have two systems to reduce the need for backup tanks of air, but still be able to fit in the caves. Really incredible, particular

I hope that they are targeted a bit more locally than they are at the moment - yesterday I had one pop up when I stopped at some traffic lights 20 minutes from home (having been driving for an hour and a half) that suggested I take a 55 min

I suppose you could use lenticular screens like those used in some cars to avoid driver distraction[0 - old article but you get the point] or for the 3D effect in the Nintendo 3DS. This might be getting a bit silly though... [0] - https:&#

I use the non-monospace Input Sans for my IDEs and personally absolutely love it. It's not really an issue for me that I'm losing out on vertical alignment, but there really is something to be said for being able to read code mor

I believe they meant that the driver gets paid less for each new passenger, but the old passengers are still at the slightly higher rate. A full car still gets the driver more money per mile, but each subsequent passenger is worth less to t

A lot of the valid issues people have with this concept is about the cost of flying a drone half-way across a city to deliver a single item, but I think that's just the way Amazon are pitching it at the moment. I think it's much m
