Interesting! Pretty clean UI.

Captcha had me ruffled at the onset as I am slightly visually impaired and couldn't pick out the somewhat grainy images. It seems to be the standard now.

Starts seeing with adapting a strategy that works in the best interest of your company.

It is up the leadership to weigh the upside against the odds, short term reprieve or the consequences of going against the grain.

Pick your poison.

The book covered a lot more ground and had some nifty illustrations.for those interested,

There are no consumer drone companies in the U.S. worth talking about right now.

I saw a similar design theme on Dan Brown's personal site recently and was wondering if it was one of those trends to feed off nostalgia or just a coincidence https://danb.me/

I recently joined scanalyst and binge trawled the site to read everything accessible.

It is oasis in the midst of all the internet cacophony and I'm glad to 'it's being taken of'

Rudimentary, yet clever mechanical engineering.

While watching I was comparing the entire build to 3d printing. More specifically the process knowledge gained doing this in CAD and then 3D print vs handy making parts from PVC.

On android, as soon as your display timeout it will auto scroll to new messages. It is also very tedious to go and stay in the first post of threads.

Quite infuriating especially on a lengthy thread. There's a 5 year old feature request that nobody ever bothered to respond to.

There's a gentleman I follow on Twitter who run a bootcamp after chatgpt was unveiled https://twitter.com/mayowaoshin.

He had demo videos on how to build similar applications. From what I understand the first cohort was made up of people from all manner of professions, notably consulting, finance, academia, manufacturing etc.

I knew it was only a matter of time before we see clones offering this as a service. To put it mildly, some even went as far as copying his code verbatim and using it to launch such services without acknowledging his effort.

One major downside of releasing content and open source code is the handful of users who copy and paste for commercial use without giving credit.

All of a sudden there's a wave of "chat with pdf" youtube videos using my exact content, diagrams and images.

I subscribe ťo the same service and I find it pretty handy. There's no way to stop the incessant junk mail so it helps me filter what needs prompt pickup and the junk that can stay a couple days before I check the mailbox.

Good start but typical whac-a-mole implementing! Similar thing happened with girlsdoporn.

Most websites blocked search queries for the term or deleted it. Most got re-uploaded under more cryptic titles shortly afterwards.

It the video is popular, it'll resurface in multiple copies for redundancy.

It's not going to stop until there's a stringent requirement to upload videos.

Out of curiosity I tried "big penis" and got a fascinating read on animal phalluses.Stuff I never knew.

Bait and switch

The world is such an odd and funny place now. My 2007 Toyota Avalon Touring drives pretty well with none of those 'trinkets'. The utilitarian value of a car seems to be an outlier to a lot of people these days.

I wonder if we'll be able to get back to the place where products we manufacture will span decades and commands good value.

Electric cars in my opinion should have fewer points of failure but here we are, hankering for adornments.

Maybe I'm wrong.

The sheer amount of permissions required for Conversations is mine boggling. What's Bluetooth and WiFi permissions for?

I'm curious whether it is possible to extract and trace DNA down to existing relations from such a specimen.

I personally find it quite refreshing to see accessible hardware projects showing up once again. The ensuing discussions are full of nuggets and somewhat esoteric recommendations that always draws me down the rabbit hole where I end up discovering a lot of things I wish I could visualize when I was much younger.

Is a pleasurable learning experience.

NB:This post and OpenFlexure

It's only a matter of time, there's gonna be physical casualties at some point in time. We've all seen it in the movies. Experts have warned of the dangers of tethering vital utilities controls to the internet.

Is it not possible to develop protocol or device that operates outside of the web but functions like the'two-man' rule used to launch nuclear bombs?

A Letter of Authority (LOA) is a legal document that allows customers to authorize someone to act on their behalf within agreed limits.

That is quite the size of an entire book and a timely submission for a weekend skim for those interested.

I did skip to the conclusion, typical ambiguous wrap-up, to say the least.
