Of total road deaths per year, 14% are Motorcycles, and the 5 Tesla fatalities are 0.0008% of motorcycle deaths. I think a more poignant subject is how did they have us arguing over this so quickly? Most posts are just anti-Elon. Boggling..

Thanks! Haha... your right. I got my frame up and running with a Raspberry Pi 2 and it is temp throttling after about 5 min. The page could definitely use some optimization. I’ll work on that next. Maybe there should be a setting to reduce

Think 24/7 digital frame on the wall type thing that flips to the live stream one hour before launch and back to the countdown for the next mission. Critical feedback welcome! Works on mobile but designed primarily for larger displays.

Think always on, digital frame on the wall display, that auto flips to YouTube livestream for every SpaceX mission. I made it, critical suggestions requested.

I'm testing Chrome (Same build on the same OS) and I see video. Must be an issue with the flash detection. I'll dig deeper... thanks!

Thanks! Yes, first time I sat down to use it I thought, "Uh oh..." But now I find the experience to be quite immersive with the monitor close and vertical. Right, now that I look at it the chair is low. Usually the arm rests meet the height

Yes! Yes, yes, yes. I saw this when it hit the front page awhile ago and have been waiting to stumble across the proper hardware to try it out. I love vim.

Nice! This was my first thought... digitize it! Didn't want to spend the cash for the keyboard though so it ended up being a desk. I would love to convert it into a digital keyboard one day.

Haha. No there's totally not as you see it in the pics. I removed the black panel at the base which gives 8 nice more inches and a foot rest on the lip. I find my feet playing with the spring mechanisms for the pedals while I code.

- Nice! - If you look closely I have some speakers mounted to the underside of the front face. They are pointed down and reflect off of the surface of the desk (iMac style). I originally wanted to fit them inside the grills but space is sur

Ah! That's removable... and currently removed. You're right, it started to get a little cramped. There's a little ledge at the bottom now which makes a nice foot rest.

Haha... I knew an astute fellow hacker would pickup on that. :) Yes, the monitor cutout was originally the spot for the music stand. I had to router out about 1/4 an inch to fit in the stripped down apple 23inch display. Currently I have my

Saw the article on the front page! Thought about the business potential this morning. Trouble would be the cost of shipping, it's about 350lbs! edit: That is the stripped weight! It was originally ≈400lbs (guessing). Evidently most of the w

Surprisingly about the same. As you see all the strings are out as well as the keys and hammers. All total probably shed about 25-35 pounds. I'd say it weighs 325-375 pounds total. Evidently most of the weight is in the metal frame.

My wife and I had a similar naive acquisition. After tuning, re-tuning, re-tuning in 24 hour periods we got close but I figured something about the age, possibly the method of transport compromised it's ability to hold a tune. Now what to d

Also if return on investment is Milk's primary goal then killing a product that's not working to push 100% of their resources to their next thing is the best thing they could do for investors. If the signs are there (which they obviously ar
