I am thinking there is likely a massive infrastructure behind Linux running on your device. And thanks to all those that support it.

Only just had a quick peep and play and I like it - looking forward to using Crystal more often on a tooling level. Nice work to date...

Of course, both are right, unless an AI is running ones home energy use, the bill payer needs to know in advance the expected pricing so they can plan use, and of course smart mete…

Yes, pros and cons, its quite possible that by paying one then has enough breathing space to set up better defences.

Interesting, and in the second case, I admit I had never considered that Google must extend credit to some of its customers and that it likely some of them won't pay and in this re…

I would guess the 99% will report you in and road law and the courts will do the rest. Perhaps the 99% will gang up on you ;-)

Do you mean something like this http://www.rocketlabusa.com/

I believe it is smaller and cheaper, not necessarily better.

As a skydiver - slow and carefully is better, but with that one becomes quicker as one does when practising lots. The number of jumps one can have in a day is limited by aircraft a…

So reading between the lines - the bracket holding the helium tank (inside the oxygen tank) broke, the helium tank ripped away from it's plumbing (pressure lines and valve(s)) and …

Sweet and totally within the spirit of RaspberryPi. Thanks for releasing it. PS. 3K sample/sec is good enough for a lot of work on sensors and also for the youngish to get a handle…

Yes it's a good thing (for the tinkerers of this world) and I suspect its a long term view for MS. If young tinkerers can tinker away on some of the cool hardware out there leverag…

My bad. Sadly or luckily it's close to being exactly on other side of the world from me and while I do use maps to help me place things, this time I didn't or if I have in the past…

Seems like everyone and their dog has a radiation detector in Russia esp. around Chernobyl, not something ones sees in the west.

I generally use Thunderbird and while I have not checked what it does in all cases, it generally flags when there is remote content and provides options regarding loading it. I'm h…

Thanks, that would explain that. I was impressed by how small the barge looked compared with the F9 it's clever that the F9 can autonomously target such a small area. If they keep …

What's the difference between the tests on earth (as seen on youtube etc) where the engine runs the whole time and seems to display good throttle control and this type of landing?

Not quite, if the wind is too strong the blades feather (edge on to the wind) brakes exist but are puny and are only for maintenance use. Some blades have a tip that the rotates an…

This is really cool - have a read of the tutorial it presents what's going on in a concise manner. Makes it all seem quite simple... until it gets to the end. "Nice work" to the au…

Sandstorm - this is wickedly cool, tried the demo and it worked great, can't understand all the 'do this, do that' comments. As someone who is just learning to play with docker - j…

One of the more realistic news feed titles for this event. Yes sir, SpaceX nailed the launch, it was awesome to watch, more goodies on the way to the ISS - I hope the rest of the m…
