That was my first thought too. SoundHound worked 90% of the time for me, very impressive for the day IMO. Too bad it was fairly short-lived - I think they removed that functionality within a year or two. It's nice to have the ability to search like this again.

Also, you only have room to park your car when the house is in certain orientations! Some neighborhood kids would definitely wedge rocks in-between the rotating platform.

So the less fortunate who are forced to rely on these basic jobs should live below poverty, so you can enjoy some extra cash to travel internationally?

The reality is, in modern America the percentage of people relying on these jobs as their sole source of income is much larger than the highschoolers looking to make some extra cash. We shouldn't sacrifice the masses to enable the few to maintain an optional job, in my opinion.

I had an agent once tell me that "you only get pre 80% of the time". So I just paid for a chance at precheck?

Thanks for this reply! I was curious too, since I just spent the last few weeks working with an esp8266 on FastLED.

One type of shield/expansion I'd love to see for the Pixelblaze would be some sort of lipo charger and protection circuitry. My favorite esp8266 board has an integrated battery holder for an 18650, and I've found this to be my favorite way of powering all my projects!

It seems like they've chosen to not lay power lines down the length, which simplifies some things and allows them to reduce the tunnel size. But limits their drivetrains to only short bursts of use before needing to be recharged.

Based on the section mentioning the timing, it indeed sounds like it's intended to be one-way, switching direction after the event starts.

It's much cheaper to make an incorrect statement and let people correct you for free, then edit the article! ;)

This is probably the way to go, you just have to worry about data limits and overages, plus the extra latency. Probably not the biggest deal for mobile, though.

I believe if you're labelled as non-performant or whatever, they don't allow you to move elsewhere at Amazon.

That's actually a really good idea! I would love to see this built-in to future router models after something widespread like this. It's fairly reasonable to force users to be physically present to update. Plus, you could force them to flip the switch back by not working until the write-enable line is disconnected again.

"It's okay, because it happened in the past, too." is such a weak argument in my opinion. We should strive to present our best regardless of the past.

History repeats itself, so take note and compensate accordingly.
