Getting liquidity to short or long on margin is as easy as clicking a button and getting liquidated. Poloniex, Bitfinex and BitMex are some of the places you can play that game. Yo…

Ask HN: Is anyone using BEAM for DevOps and/or control systems?
The more I learn about the primitives of BEAM/Elixir, the more excited I get about how the implementations lend themselves to DevOps and control systems. Things like location trans…

Sorry, order should be reversed: Power up via USB and connect VDD_5V.

I hope they fixed the Easter Egg that blows the CPU if you power up via VDD_5V and plug the USB cable in.

Interesting. How often is the groundwater potable during an emergency situation?

Where should we spend our time instead? Definitely not novel at this stage, but once we modify the AWG to achieve water reclamation from urine, would that be considered novel? The …

I will definitely look into that, and probably test a commercially available model or two. If you end up beating me to it: https://github.com/openawg/openawg/pulls

It would, but it would most likely be less efficient than filtering the water you're floating in :) A good way to increase the efficiency of this machine would be to increase the r…

Indeed. Ideally, we'd like to include a mini-datacenter module, allowing for data storage, streaming, and processing. We'd like to be able to gather metrics from these machines all…
