This seems like a good idea, but I hope it doesn't stop the recent tradition of yarn-bombing[0] the postboxes[1][2]. The ones near me are really creative, change with seasons & nat…

Zigbee2mqtt has a huge number of supported devices (here's their official list [0]), which can also be expanded if the existing mappings don't work. It took me a minute to find, bu…

Have you considered Zigbee2mqtt[0]? You'd be running an extra program, but the docs are really good, it's pretty lightweight, and MQTT is incredibly easy to talk to from python or …

Spore was especially interesting if you used the in game friend list. I had a great time experiencing worlds full of various creatures - a lot of which were from my artistically ta…

It seems to me that their view of bias is limited to a per-article approach. This could make it succeptible to broader narrative bias across stories - if, for example, the news sou…

It might need _some_ filtering of text - whatever your views of the n word, I don't think anyone could call it a mood...

Which fiasco are you thinking of? Or could you be confusing Magic Leap[0] (the Augmented Reality headset) and Leap Motion[1] (the 3D motion controller) (admittedly I swap the names…

It definitely can be - I had a demo of Ultrahaptics' (now ultraleap) ultrasonic tactile system[0] 3 years back and you could definitely "touch" objects that weren't there. They onl…

On your first point about PEDs, I think you've missed that there's an element of safety they offer that prevents non-accidents (often referred to as a "person under the train" or o…

They actually did[0], although admittedly it's quite a long way down the thread. [0] - https://twitter.com/Foone/status/1251483589914423296?s=19

I would guess that the money laundering potential is why it isn't around now - most stores don't let you buy a gift card with another gift card for the same reason (I've implemente…

It won't help you quite yet, but Google and Amazon resolved their issues around this in April[0] and their press release says you'll be able to watch Prime Video on your Chromecast…

This[0] is from the organisation that got the files unsealed, and includes the "whale" reference at the beginning of the chat mentioned. Not sure it proves that 5-year-old were ref…

Worth reading the linked page [0] about one of the diver's custom reassembled rebeather, which means they have two systems to reduce the need for backup tanks of air, but still be …

I hope that they are targeted a bit more locally than they are at the moment - yesterday I had one pop up when I stopped at some traffic lights 20 minutes from home (having been dr…

I suppose you could use lenticular screens like those used in some cars to avoid driver distraction[0 - old article but you get the point] or for the 3D effect in the Nintendo 3DS.…

I use the non-monospace Input Sans for my IDEs and personally absolutely love it. It's not really an issue for me that I'm losing out on vertical alignment, but there really is som…

I believe they meant that the driver gets paid less for each new passenger, but the old passengers are still at the slightly higher rate. A full car still gets the driver more mone…

Sounds like a toilet version of a riser chair such as [0], which I could see being really useful for people. [0] - http://stairlift-suppliers.co.uk/mobility-aids/riser-recline... (…

A lot of the valid issues people have with this concept is about the cost of flying a drone half-way across a city to deliver a single item, but I think that's just the way Amazon …

I've submitted the original source for this article, but use the slightly editorialised title from Engadget's article[0] on the matter as the original's title of "What I've been wo…
