    I'm spinning up a lab in Santa Cruz to research the local tick population. We could use extra skilled hands to help obtain the distribution of pathogens, and in developing treatmen…

    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.

    Playing around with the wheel friction and letting it run for days was interesting: https://github.com/red42/HTML5_Genetic_Cars/blob/master/cawr...

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

    > but this whole project seems like a total waste of time Are you talking about just the water generator, or the "civilization-in-a-box" collection of modules?

    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

    Ah, that makes sense, thank you for the feedback. When I was drafting it in Google Docs, I was using footnote annotations, and I just copypasta'd it over.

    Our current approach is to get the AWG module working, then add a module which boils urine and feeds the vapor into the AWG module for distillation and filtration. Ideally, we'd li…

    Thank you for the feedback, this is awesome! There is always more to read up on and calculate :) EDIT: The current dehumidifier does accumulate ice on the evaporator coils, dependi…

    Right? I was thinking that was quite odd as well. I wonder how the current primary and secondary drinking water regulations came to be.

    That is awesome! We'd love to have a chat with you to better understand your thinking process, perspective, and sources. The pump were using right now consumes 104 W intermittently…

    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…

    Interesting. I haven't thought about combining it with the mechanical refrigeration process! I'll run the numbers on that, thanks. The initial proof-of-concept I threw together wit…

    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…
