It's merely an integration library for the netsurf browser. It's the html parser for a real browser. I considered using the parser from other browsers like firefox or webkit, but netsurf had the fewest external dependencies.

I sorta gave up on the project seeing as nobody other than myself used it. (I have zero watchers on github)

compilers are still extremely practical. I'm sure everyone has had a scenario where they had to tokenize lots of strings and turn it into something meaningful.

If there are more adopters of lightpeak, there will be other cable manufacturers, and users can buy any cable they want. People who don't understand electronics also wouldn't understand how this might benefit the user.

Personally, I think lightpeak is a fairly interesting way of implementing something, it enables ports to be a lot more capable without having to replace electronics on the motherboard.

Perhaps users who don't fully understand what is going on inside would prefer to think that it's something evil...

It's like comparing iphone's touchscreen with any android phone. All phones pre-jellybean had a touchscreen that just didn't compare to the iphone.

I'm slightly doubtful that someone would create a fake scene of 22 kids who got stabbed, for the purposes of social media juice.

NASA denied there was political influence, but it's hard to say since the stars lined up perfectly for them.

Most people are probably only aware of the arduino uno which uses the 328p chip, but there are probably 20 other atmel chip models that are also "arduino compatible". I typically use the attiny85 because my one-off projects rarely need all the pins on the 328p.

Musk: I can’t tell you much. We have essentially no patents in SpaceX. Our primary long-term competition is in China—if we published patents, it would be farcical, because the Chinese would just use them as a recipe book.

If your process/ideas are sufficiently complex, it reduces competition if you don't file a patent.

It says the page will be available on Monday, when you can buy it.

It's also interesting that the aws key/secret are "masked" on the page, but you can just visit http://www.iceboxpro.com/users/12.json and get the formatted json representation with no masking.

In the video they said they were using a mega, and you can tell from the picture that the atmel chip is a surface mount similar to the 2560. All the arduino chips use some kind of atmega variant, but the arduino mega refers to the atmega1280 or the atmega2560. The most common arduino chip is the atmega328p.

The atmega series is fairly broad. The arduinos only use a subset of the atmega series. "mega" is probably a bit confusing, but if you say "arduino mega" it only refers to one or two specific chips -- the old "arduino mega" used the atmega1280 while the newer model uses the atmega2560.

What if you sold a separate device that plugged in the wall and had a constant wifi connection, then used BT4 for communicating with the lock powered by 4xAA? Then you wouldn't even need wifi on the lock.

Also, why an arduino mega? Are you using that many I/O pins or is it because your code needs the 256KB of flash?

I can understand people's fear of technology when it is used for security purposes, but if someone wanted to break in, there are easier ways than flashing the base station. All someone would need to do is take a picture of your physical key and they'll be able to make an identical one.
