NYC Mesh pays for a backhaul. I assume that this use is covered in the ToS, but it isn't just a normal residential internet connection. NYC Mesh pays for it through donations. Last I checked they were trying to setup a 501c3 to manage

This is basically what Reddit was doing before with "shadow bans". IIRC they had to stop because they just couldn't keep up with it and were banning people that shouldn't have been.

Agree here, this is exactly what a good consulting shop should be doing and offering.

Interesting points about enforcement. But I think the real barrier to adoption is that most people don't mind using centralized systems. If their Visa card works when they swipe it, they don't think beyond that. If it's easie

It doesn't sound like they have been hacked directly. This looks like the same things as TeamViewer where hackers are using password lists from other breaches to attempt to compromise the high value remote desktop targets.

This seems awfully shortsighted. Perhaps some 'home' devices are gratuitous at this point but certainly there are other uses for headless devices to be connected to the internet. Yes, the only thing that benefits from a an interne

While this is a very cool chip for hobbyists, it is quite hard to do real TLS with this chip making it basically useless for commercial applications. It CAN do TLS but it leaves very little left over if you have any kind of real business lo

This is ultimately my same issue with Handy. I don't want a different person every single time. I think this makes it really hard to make it work. That being said I have had Handy come and clean many times now and not changed it, so I

Why is there not a dongle for this. This should have been the first step and part of the announcement.

Interesting that you went it alone. I bought mine on mass drop and it cost me around $275 when all was said and done. I did get the full hand with metal tops though. I think you saved a good deal of money by having access to a laser cuter,

I'm not sure how much more 'hockey stick' it can get. Android already has 85% market share.

Exactly this. It's much harder to work with only being able to view it in 2 dimensions at once as well.

Why not just add it to the base price of the Uber ride? Still seems a little gimmicky to me. I take uberX a very short distance on almost a daily basis. $1 more represents a 12% or 15% price increase in each of my rides. I thought the cheap

Exactly, it is till good if ease of use and time to market is the major goal and price isnt a big question, which is certainly true in many markets. However, I think we will see it fall out of favor in consumer markets unless thye drastical

You've made some interesting choices here. Lots of people here are questioning using a gateway, but I think this is a great choice for what you are doing, and required to get decent battery life. However, I think using ZigBee will end
