He’s optimized for minimum anxiety, not time or distance. Your dog’s pathfinding is _excellent_.

Wait, I just realized that this means I'm not going to have to keep and securely store 7 years of signed CC receipts for my business! Can't happen fast enough.

On previous models, the headphone and microphone jacks were on a small daughterboard which can be replaced without soldering.

See the previous discussions, here's one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6492127

It wasn't simply the website - it's the entire exchange including call centers, advertising, etc.

That's why the AG created the fake yogurt shop. Zero difficultly in determining the fake reviews. I doubt they would take on the case of a single shop's problems.

Replacing the Arduino with a Digispark (http://digistump.com/products/1) would probably work well.

- Women who wear clothing designed to show cleavage

- Men who stare at cleavage

Discuss.

Wait, just to make it a little more useful:

- Men who giggle like children about their project aimed at the above two groups

...and, video not found 11 minutes later.

I spent six weeks in London for a college exchange class the summer of 1990 and discovered Banks and the Culture; I believe it was Consider Phlebas. One of the best parts of that summer. I remember the delays in releases of books once back in the US was agonizing.

Fuck cancer.

I was with you right up to your last sentence. 'Our freedoms,' that's the number one cause of terrorism?

Ok, looks like I have an OSS solution with code on Github: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rafali.fli...

The Android app STILL does not provide automatic upload. That is the only thing I want or need from the Android app - I backup images I take on my phone, and make public the few that I want to share. So now I use Google+. But I have years of photos on Flickr, so I'd still like to switch back.

I really don't understand why it's missing.

The best details are in the audio story - under 'listen to the story' at the top. I'm fascinated they had a series of announcements that indicated specific points in the landing sequence that were not publicly known, before they actually announced the landing, which had happened 10 seconds earlier.

One of us watching this right now is going to set foot on Mars. Probably more than one.

It's more of two slopes rather than two spikes:

Here's the original Executive Order: http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/07/06/execut...

I'm curious, how much does this really differ from the original Emergency Broadcast System, or the current Emergency Alert System?

I've never heard of the 'other' folder before. So I go look for it and find a message from an old college friend getting back in touch. From 10 months ago. Thanks FB.

Agreed. I paid a buck for HaxSync to get sync working on ICS, looks like it wasn't able to overwrite the email addresses I had for people. I just disabled contact sync for HaxSync and Facebook (in case they actually decide to get it working with ICS)

If you are looking for 'microcontrollers <-> webservices with full restful api' then Cosm looks pretty good. Arduino, Nanode, mbed, devices running OpenWRT...

They just changed names from Pachube.

Using highly directional antennas on the transmitter should be able to accomplish similar results without increasing the cost of the wristbands.

You can buy an unlocked GSM Galaxy Nexus directly from Google https://www.google.com/nexus/

It seems we will never get rid of bad programming like this. I hit the 'forgot my password' link on the T-Mobile website yesterday and the pop-up requested my T-Mobile phone number. Ten seconds later I received an SMS with my actual password in it.

While the threat of terrorism is not imaginary, it is certainly negligible compared to other threats.

Between 'drive this truck 50 mph on city streets through traffic to a destination address' and 'carry this package from the curb to the front door' I'd have thought the first one would be more difficult to solve.

T-00:03:30..

.. or Cube makes their printer compatible with one of the many OSS toolchains that already exist.

Why would people bother with reverse engineering their proprietary (and expensive) system, when you could go ahead and spend the time improving the fully open systems that are out there?

A small addition: use a wildcard DNS entry and you can skip 1).

It's even worse than that. You would specifically be one of the minions analyzing code that you can claim infringes IV patents.

Doing the devil's work indeed.
