rawe··on Real System Failures
As a side note to your side note the Honeywell HR-20 is a nice thermostat with an Atmel microcontroller you can flash open source firmware onto and even use RFM12 radio modules with [0]. But they build different types of devices for avionics as well, e.g. wireless access points are the ones I dealt with already [1]. At least this device class is only low design assurance level (DAL E), so as long as it fails safely thats ok (it still should fulfill its MTBF of course).

rawe··on Ask HN: What do you do during your commute?
20min by car. Audio podcasts (the amp hour / chaos radio via Antenna pod app) or find new bands/songs in the sxsw music archive. Create a todo for the working day, coffee, ...
rawe··on Music piracy is down but still very much in play
uTorrent turned evil, same way as sourceforge did.
rawe··on Music piracy is down but still very much in play
Situation in Germany: - GEMA causes video blocking on youtube - there is the GEMA-Vermutung (it is assumed that if you play music in public, it is from a GEMA member and you have to pay a fee or prove that the music was from non-GEMA-members) - there is a Pauschalabgabe fee for storage media (and devices) for the potential use as backup/storage for the music I already paid for (but I am not allowed to crack copy "protection" on media). - there is a monthly fee for GEZ/Rundfunkbeitrag for state "independent" media bound to just living in a flat/house even if there is no device capable of playing media and not bound to actual use of their service. Most media on their online platforms is available for a short period of time (~1 week) and gets deleted after this, they use flash player and there are 3rd party tools [0] necessary so just search through all the media / get a direct link to feed into mplayer

Should I throw even more money on these unfair systems by buying music/media?

rawe··on Git Miner – Dig into guts of git history
The wget version still needs curl... at least it looks like the comitted data is escaped and a big chunk of /dev/zero does internal server error or a gateway timeout only. Why does "www.gitminer.com" fordward to "http://gitminer/" ?
rawe··on List of screw drives
The list lacks the coffee bean head screw used in coffee makers. At least there is another security screw type that is somewhat compatible... http://maultech.com/chrislott/blog/pix/spanner-screw-bit-sma...
