Landscape/art photography with large format negatives (4x5 and above) I understand...we still don't have practical digital cameras for that.

But what is being done with emulsions of ISO <1?

Fun fact: "cuore di bue" means heart of a bull.

I've had amazing tomatoes of this species, but I've also had many watery ones...so I'm guessing the greenhouse-to-supermarket waterbombing effect is more important than the actual species.

[Disclaimer] - I'm absolutely not affiliated with this...but it seems like an interesting product.

I was actually looking into building something of this sort to power my to-be home audio system, probably using parts from hifiberry.com

Does anyone have experience with these kinds of products? I'm guessing the B2 device uses some combination of Raspberry Pi + Hi-Fi DAC Hat + custom software.

The timing is probably not ideal, as the system is not yet fully functional, but there will be very interesting opportunities using the Galileo satellite navigation system...the paid version will have up to 1cm precision, which will revolutionize many GIS/navigation areas (and likely open up a lot of new ones)

Very curious to know, what kind of figures do you pull up?

I believe that the main reasonable concern with large transactions of money is mostly buyer/seller protection, for large sums of money. When buying, say, a house/car and spending well over €/£/$ 3k (typical over-3k transaction), it is customary to have a series of formalities/assurances so that both parties are protected against fraud. These formalities require the kind of proof (that money exchanged hands) that generally only banks can provide.

I fully agree that this places a big amount of power in the banks' hands, but what alternatives are there? (I'm honestly asking, are banks the lesser/only evil here?)

I'm not seeing cryptocurrency fixing this, but maybe it is possible. From my limited understanding, if transactions were mapped to some contract, it would void some anonymity of the system, and it probably wouldn't be possible to get money back in case of fraud anyway, so there's that.

Oh man, I didn't know about the win+arrow functionality. I can now do one command to stick one window to a side of a multi-monitor setup! This is killer :)

Yup, XML is ugly to write by hand, but I'd argue it is nearly as legible as YAML/JSON, with the great-great advantage of being able to be structurally validated.

I can't praise enough the quality and functionality of Joseph Joseph items. It seems like everything I own from them meets the advertised functionality and then some. And while expensive, the prices are fair. Great plastics and finishing.

They don't do furniture, though.

What sort of figures do you pull up? (and how do you monetize? ads?)
