The whole post feels like nonsense.

The 36 hour battery life also isn't a best-case scenario. According to apple.com

"All-day battery life is based on the following use: 90 time checks, 90 notifications, 45 minutes of app use, and a 60-minute workout with music playback from Apple Watch via Bluetooth, over the course of 18 hours;"

It can be that while US is playing world police, characterising Dotcom's MegaUpload and Mega as a fight against it not a fitting description of them.

International crime can be a tough problem to solve. Who gets to decide what is a crime, how it should be judged and punished?

Well written article and interesting results, thank you.

I'm surprised that there has been input latency of tens of milliseconds with the said setup. How much are typical input latencies in comparable Windows laptops and Macs?

If I would like to do quick lane change as an evasive manoeuvre, then how much would this lag affect at 80 km/h?

Can you give an example on the action items it creates, does it pick up too much or too little and how accurate it is?

Thanks, this simple sentence told me more than all of the texts on the site combined. I tend to skip introduction videos, so all my questions might have been answered there.

The site mentions "Create a Relay in the Sumario dashboard". This raises couple of questions for me:

- What is a relay? Is it just configuration?

- What is Sumario dashboard? Is this something I host as Sumario is open source or is it hosted?

Also since there's "It's free to get started. No credit card required." then what's the pricing? I'm not going to create an account if you are not open about the costs.

With little tweaks I think the site would be more appealing.

It's all about how you value your time. These kind of quests are usually very valuable learning tool and fun. I have learned a lot with hobby projects which didn't create any value as end products but were valuable to me.

As this seems to be old news, was there a reason why you posted it?

Edit: (2018) in the title would be in order.

45 minutes can be a lot if you keep it in hand over night for sleep tracking. You'd then need a to find a 45 minute slot every day to charge it and be consistent with it. With one day battery life you can't forget to charge it every morning for example. Or what if you didn't bring a charger with you for an overnight trip? Anything less than a full two day battery life is a deal breaker for me.

While it might be interesting to know what it does in such cases, it shouldn't matter. You as a human should always take full control when encountering unusual activity on road. Relying on currently available driving aid systems to handle edge cases is just begging for trouble.

Well said though to clarify the reason why you wait 40 minutes at the gate is probably because you have to calculate some extra per each step leading to it. You can't be sure you'll make it in 5 minutes per check in, security and walk to the gate. Also, the added cost in time and money of missing a plane is quite high compared to missing a train e.g. in Europe, so that further increases the buffer you add to the process.

I love it how we can do this complex stuff. Though being a 90s kid, I imagine doing a T9 based brain-computer interface would be easier and faster.

Could we realistically accelerate a space probe to faster speeds than what Voyagers and New Horizons are currently doing?
