Starvation is how celiac disease was root caused. https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/history-of-celiac-dise...

I wonder if/how they normalized the cellphone population across a 3 year interval. iOS and Android have been expanding tracking protections so that could bias the measurements.

Forced software/hardware downgrade to receive vehicle repair is such tyranny. Do owners that bought a car with a radar-based safety system have any recourse if they don't consent t…

This algorithm change has resulted in dramatically lower estimates for my area. Previously I assumed Redfin's estimates were trustworthy trailing averages. Now I realize they are v…

It looks like the Amtrak Coast Starlight depends on this bridge too.

Imagine you worked at Google. Imagine you were tasked with building this website as quickly as possible. You have available internal tools designed to work with Google accounts. Th…

I'd pay 3-4 figures for an on-site sort of my personal Lego collection.

I wonder if the products were always lacking Aloe Vera, or if this is an example of "quality fade"? ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poorly_Made_in_China )

I use my Hue lights daily, but I haven't opened the official app in years thanks to 3P apps & Philips's own Zigbee switches.

Philips may have fixed the vulnerability in an update, but that's insufficient if these devices don't have high update rates. I wonder how many years until there are fewer than 150…

But can they do that after pushing everyone to lightning headphones?

Snopes argues this article should be disregarded for lacking rigorous data. http://m.snopes.com/kale-not-safe/

Do these consumer protection laws apply to security updates or cloud/service-dependent features?

I believe the fate of Android Wear style smart watches is highly intertwined with the proliferation and usefulness of 'contextual computing' (Google Now, etc). Glanceable cards aff…

Agreed. For example: Chicago has a much bigger tech sector, including satellite campuses of silicon valley tech giants like Google. Kansas City seems to have stronger entrepreneuri…

I'd argue there is huge value in app controlled 'home environment' devices (light color & brightness, music, air/heat/fan, etc). When the software controls are sufficiently conveni…

Last year I built something similar with Lego Mindstorms and a bluetooth control app. http://kuxhausen.com/legoitron/ However, I stopped using it as the command strip's velcro woul…

I do not know how graceful falling back is in web development, but there are some non-graceful holes in what can be accomplished with Android compatibility libraries The biggest de…

This. I question the need for custom smart light switch hardware like Goldee when low end Android tablets are significantly cheaper thanks to to the economics of scale.

Many LampShade.io power users take the NFC route. CNET TV's 'The Fix' even used LampShade.io with NFC in an episode. The issue with NFC is it only works when one's Android is unloc…

The internet-of-things is rapidly getting there. For example, my Android app, LampShade.io, has user-defined lighting 'moods' that work with the Philips Hue. Currently these are pr…
