Tor relay with Display-O-Tron Hat to visualize the tx/rx speeds.

Wardriving rig with GPS puck that runs kismet, airbash, and bettercap to steal PMKIDs and also 4-way handshakes from nearby networks for offline cracking and data visualization. Also has UPS supply for backup power.

An aborted project to make a Hindustani raga time-of-day player, based on a Pi Zero W with a 128GB SD card, that would stream a continuous loop of music appropriate to the specific time of day (8 distinct periods), via a network interface such as Plex. But it was too complicated.

I've also used an RPi3 as a node in https://github.com/lennartkoopmann/nzyme.


Your first two points are good for GMOs, but the other two are the result of breeding efforts rather than lab work. There are no GMO cows and chickens in high commercial production, and FWIW no GMO tomatoes either.

Then again, GMOs and conventional breeding taken to a commercial extreme get tangled so often it's hard to separate them in these sorts of arguments.


The first GM crop to be licensed for human consumption in the US was the Flavr Savr tomato, which contained a trait that improved their shelf life and appearance. It was a commercial flop and taken off the shelves after a few years on the market.


I had grouped in intensive breeding with more Dr. Moreau style GMO development. In my mind, there isn't a huge difference.


Interesting. What type of advanced analytics do you mean?


Any and everything to do with text analytics so that lawyers can find relevant documents faster. Concept searching (LSI, LDA, other topic models), query expansion, clustering, network analysis (emails), etc.


Feature requests in e-discovery bloat your original software out of all proportion. Nevermind getting past the original part of effectively searching large troves of data in different formats.


Amen


This book was sufficiently depressing to turn me off to disaster weather news forever. Nightmarish even.


It is pretty grim, but after looking at a predicted sea level rise map I realised I'd be in a reasonably safe area for a while and that cheered me up a bit.


No shit. ET is set off by everything - exercise, alcohol, caffeine, lack of sleep, etc. In a perverse way it forces you to stop addictions to stimulants, otherwise you can't help but look 50 years older in front of friends and family because your fingers shake nonstop.


Then again, the clock on the wall in the pub might have a hidden microphone, or camera. This site is rather ingenious in where they put microphones/cameras (wall charger?) - supercurcuits.com


I'm no tinfoil theorist, so I wonder. If a city is plastered with HD Cams (solar power, etc), would it make sense to go places at night then if you don't want to be seen? Or is infared really easy to add and would defeat those efforts?

More importantly, wait until these HD cams and other video cameras are hacked so that someone else besides the consultants, government, and myriad other actors has complete control. Straight out of a dystopia trope.


Thoroughly obvious sockpuppet/shill. In Russia, it's 99.9% of people who are poor, 0.1% of people who are outstandingly mega-rich, and no middle class. A common yearly salary for a developer in Russia is three thousand dollars. The Russian Federation is increasingly corrupt and repressive, escalating dramatically as Putin realizes that his support is disappearing as fast as public support for the ACA website implementation.


The much beloved Plasma Pong for older versions of Windows can still be found on the 'net. It did something similar, and I spent quite some time playing in its sandbox.
