I did some testing back in 2009 and I just looked up my spreadsheet and it really is hard to say definitively how much your TV will consume. At the time, my TV was a Samsung LCD A530 (I think).

For example, usage based on input type (Component vs. HDMI):

TV (Wii as input, Component)	48 to 68W

TV (PVR Cable as input, HDMI)	84 to 104W

Then you start getting into different TV settings for games versus TV, day versus night, and the list goes on.

So what should the TV manufacturer put? Should they put the min consumption which is probably the dimmest setting? Or the highest? Or the average? It is an interesting question.
But Amazon already doesn't support purchasing in their iOS apps why can't they make an app but do the same on Apple TV?
Whoever designed JIRA's psuedo-markdown text format deserves a special place in hell.
I downloaded the paper. It does not credit the highschool student's discovery. The authors take credit for the discovery themselves:

"Recently, we reported that waxworms (the larvae of the
Indian mealmoth or Plodia interpunctella) were capable of
chewing and eating PE films, and two bacterial strains capable
of degrading PE were isolated from the gut of the worms, i.e.,
Enterobacter asburiae YT1 and Bacillus sp. YP1. During the
same research period, we found that mealworms, the larvae of
the mealworm beetle or Tenebrio molitor Linnaeus (a species of
darkling beetle), which are much larger in size than waxworms
(typically approximately 25 versus 12 mm in length), can eat
Styrofoam as their sole diet."

They seem to have duplicated the 2009 highschool student's work. Here is the highschool student's abstract:

"The observation that mealworms might be able to feed on styrofoam sparked a curiosity to answer whether mealworms could digest styrofoam, and if so, how could they remain alive. First of all, these mealworms were fed in different kinds of food to insure the mealworms can digest styrofoam. The results showed that mealworms can indeed feed on styrofoam only. The hypothesis of this study is that microbes inside the digestive tracts of mealworms are responsible for the decomposition of styrofoam. To further test this hypothesis, microbes from the digestive tracts of mealworms were cultured at 37 C in LB medium under anaerobic conditions. There were many kinds of microbes isolated. From those microbes, a kind of bacteria forming red colonies was confirmed responsible for decomposing styrofoam. The growth conditions and strain characteristics of the bacteria forming red colonies were further examined. These results imply that the red bacteria isolated from the digestive tracts of mealworms may shed light on solving the serious environmental pollution caused by styrofoam."

I worked at Unity for a couple years and they are one of the biggest users of (and maintainers of) the Mercurial LargeFiles extension, so I was using that on a daily basis.

I agree that it should be a measure of last resort, but if you can't avoid working with big binary files, it makes the difference between a workflow that is a bit more cumbersome, and one that just grinds to a halt. Getting this functionality in git is great. And it'll mean a huge step forward in collaboration tools for game developers. You pretty much can't avoid big binary files when making games - and so far they've been stuck with SVN or Perforce (or the more adventurous ones are trying out PlasticSCM, which apparently is pretty nice too, but is proprietary and doesn't have a big ecosystem around it like git does). I hope this can lead to a boom of game developers using git.
The architecture you propose sounds better that what's currently being implemented.

Now the problem is going to be educating the public that they are directly responsible for their "license transponder" too, and that they need to be really careful with it in the case of an accident or at other times when the car is out of their possession.
The issue of radio spectrum is glossed over in a short bullet-point summary at the end of the article while I believe it deserves to be the article's thesis. The limitations imposed by the radio spectrum and its availability are at the root of every other point made by the author.

You just can't have high bandwidth, excellent protection from interference, and low energy usage all at once. The blcoks of spectrum that offer the best balance of those qualities are already booked up for things like OTA TV broadcasts and "high-cost and high-powered cellular" networks. The issues with mesh networking are also immediately apparent if some classes of device are to be kept on separate networks or have to forgo their role as a node due to the power requirements of a repeater.

A simple example for what airwaves would look like in the crowded "IoT' future is your average apartment complex and the 2.4ghz spectrum. 30+ routers competing for the same tiny space absolutely destroys the quality (latency, throughput, power draw from the devices radio) of the connection. The space is so crowded that you may only see 5-10 networks as the signal from a router 2 stories up is so dirty that you can't even receive the SSID but the interference is still there.

There is only so much spectrum available for use, even if it was all unrestricted. There won't be a mass adoption of networked "things" until someone is able to find a loophole in the laws of physics.

That's not the point. Who cares if it's expensive or confusing. They are banning products that are competing with their own products.

If Google banned Amazon from search results you would probably be outraged.

Show HN: Lollicam – The No.1 App in Korea Launches Globally
You're demanding conflicting things in the article. Fast connection time conflicts with security, long range with low power.

You can already get near-instant connectivity with nothing more than raw Wi-Fi frames. What you won't get are datagram delivery, guaranteed delivery, TCP streams and on up the OSI stack.

What's happening right now is vendors figuring out the bare minimum needed for a product category and then there will be a shootout with subsequent standardisation. Really no different from any other communication protocol evolution we've seen in the past.
> I am sorry to say that but your view of the basic income sounds rather shallow. I would encourage you to read up on the subject.

I'm not the parent, but can you suggest some good resources for doing so?
Beyond the security issue, by installing IOT devices in your home, you are essentially lowering the value of it. Think about it. When you go into a home for a viewing, seeing an out of date dishwasher, fridge, etc lowers the value. It makes the house less attractive. Now add IOT devices, that are out of date, that really hurts the home. Would love to get people's thoughts of homes full of these outdates and possibly insecure devices.
That doesn't make any sense given the way Amazon has treated the Android ecosystem for years now.

This is just the most blatant, anticonsumer attempt they've made so far to forcibly leverage customers into the Fire ecosystem.

One idea: On crash, the module could lock down to broadcasting a timestamped accident warning (no replay attacks) and would need someone with authorized access to reset it.

Doesn't really solve a hacker getting a non-crashed-but-otherwise-junked vehicle though :)

Edit: There's no reason to assume a hacker won't get access to the kit to reset a module as well. Guess we need to put a UseYourBestJudgement module in line with it for your driverless car ;D

While China gets all the flak for this in the US media, they were actually kind of late to the game on the Spratly Islands. Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan and Japan have all been reclaiming islands in the same area on a smaller scale. China is just staking its claim alongside the rest, and while China is by far the biggest user of dredging to reclaim islands, they weren't the first.

Russia invaded the undisputed, occupied territory of a sovereign nation (twice!) on trumped up reasons of "protecting ethnic Russians" -- as if "ethnic Russian" was a real thing. The Spratly Islands are the very definition of disputed territory; they're claimed by half a dozen countries and have no meaningful settlements on them. I'm not saying that China has a claim to them, but their claim is no less valid than Japan's or Vietnam's.

Now, when they invade Taiwan, we can say they're like Russia. But they have not flexed their military might because they're not yet a modern military. That will change over the next 10-20 years; and when you have a strong military, you tend to come up with ways to make use of it to achieve your strategic goals (again, this was a central theme of the original article).

For a Ryobi, it'd make sense that Home Depot would be cheaper since anyone selling it on Amazon is a reseller; Ryobi is sold exclusively by Home Depot in the US.
I have also switched to Rust for backend work.

I'm using Iron instead of Nickel. Not sure who will become more popular over time...

Because of the language (no null, bounds checking, option/result types, etc.) and borrow checker I find I rarely have to 'hot reload' or even test my code. I realize that sounds surprising. I'm not doing any HTML templating in Rust - that's better done in JavaScript on the client - so I don't have the edit/compile/test cycle for every tweak to the UI.
Google does not take a 30% cut of all content sold through apps on Google Play. On Android, the in-app purchase rule only applies to content that can only be consumed via apps (so not Netflix, Amazon, etc.).

And even on iOS, Amazon still has video apps, they just don't allow you to buy or rent directly within the app:
https://itunes.apple.com/app/amazon-video/id545519333

There's nothing stopping Amazon from supporting Apple TV or Chromecast, except itself.
It's not only about non-prime-customers either. I am a prime customer, but I don't use the video streaming, because amazon is a retailer for me. I go there to buy stuff and I use prime to buy stuff cheaper (and more). It's bad enough that they actually force me to buy the video streaming if I want the cheap and convenient buying (which, incidentally, is such a turnoff, that I won't be a prime customer in the future which will pretty much kill my amazon buying habbit).

Zoetrope | Bristol, UK | http://zoetrope.io | Software Engineer

Zoetrope is a young and fast growing technology consultancy focusing on IoT, based in Bristol. We pride ourselves on being the whole package - from transistor, to 3D print, to server, to web interface. We work on projects both with multinationals and startups as the virtual technology team, helping to drive the specification, prototyping and implementation of the client’s product.

We can promise you that no two projects will be the same and that you’ll get to work with a wide variety of amazing companies.

We maintain a technology blog here: https://zoetrope.io/tech-blog. We’d love to know what you think.

We’re looking for a multi-talented software engineer to join our Bristol team.
An ideal candidate will be at home with developing API’s, backends and occasionally even some front end work.

Given the size of the team (currently 3.5), it’s essential that we find an all rounder who will be happy to muck in and help complete the project.

Interested? Send over a cover letter, CV and ideally github / code sample to jobs@zoetrope.io

It says it is not very good. There are a lot of problems with Cloudsearch. By contrast, Elasticsearch is great and not too difficult to run yourself in AWS, or indeed elsewhere.

Aside from product differences, Cloudsearch was phenomenally expensive, particularly if you had a larger dataset but low read/write volume, as Cloudsearch did not use EBS (at least not in a way you could control), unlike RDS for example.

How MemSQL is helping push streaming data forward
It's possible at compile time because you won't have the "MainThread" object available unless it's passed in to your other functions. And since you'll deny the traits for sending the object from the main thread to other threads, your methods can never be called.

And if you want it to be optional, like "if mainthread", then just accept an Option of MainThread.

In fact I see exactly this is proposed in the comments on the article: https://users.rust-lang.org/t/my-gamedever-wishlist-for-rust...
> I'd much rather have an INTRAnet of things, where nothing depends on "the cloud".

I couldn't agree more. "Cloud" integration is actually a negative selling point for me. Besides the very real problems you mentioned, your expensive IoT devices could just stop working and die[1] because someone decided to shut down the servers.

East Texas judge throws out 168 patent cases
This is an ad from Haystack Technologies, disguised as an article. The article claims that the big problem with the Internet of Things is that the handshake time for establishing a connection is too long for fast moving vehicles. Guess what Haystack Technologies sells.

The big problems with the Internet of Things so far are well known.

- All your stuff are belong to us. Everything is tied to some "cloud" service. Since the typical lifespan of a cloud service is only a few years, this is a big problem for home automation.

- Security. What security? Most of these devices can be taken over by almost anybody. Have we had the first IoT murder yet? Would we know?

- Limited consumer benefit. Being able to control your stuff from your cell phone is more cool than useful. A refrigerator with a tablet on the door isn't that useful, especially when it costs more than the refrigerator plus a separate tablet, and the tablet will be obsolete long before the refrigerator.

- Installation. It's possible to do insanely great HVAC, with windows, skylights, fans, and shutters all operating to minimize energy consumption and make the building pleasant to live in. You can even get all that stuff for your house. Now try to get it installed, configured, and maintained.

- "Connected" vehicles not too useful. Most of the talk about "connected vehicles" is about advertising or consumer tracking, or does stuff you can do now. Urmson, who runs Google's self-driving car project, says they don't need connected vehicles. They have to have sensing and sensor analysis good enough to reliably detect trouble that isn't "connected".

- Been there, done that. We've had X10 since the 1980s. Better systems since the 1990s. Nobody uses them.
Wonder if they'll try to pull this off on Amazon.ca and other geos, where they have not bothered to roll out their own streaming video service.
It would be fairly trivial for Amazon to provide an Android/iOS app that supports the Chromecast.

On the other hand, maybe Amazon is angry at Google for not making Google Play Movies/Music available on the 'Fire' line of tablets, and this is retribution?
Intercloud is probably a more appropriate term, given it requires cloud computing resources that include compute, network and storage.
> These 2 things are completely orthogonal.

Of course they are, yet I see people mix them up all the time and standardize on language/libraries when they mean to standardize on protocols and (having) APIs.

> ... just about shifting cost from dev to ops.

Yes. Dev is people, Ops is process. So by shifting the cost to Ops you are shifting it to something you can automate away.
