I made a GDPR request for my data shortly after the law was enacted, and they provided me with 280mb of data for the past 90 days of me listening to music.

> One is running a custom Hue automation I built to shift the color temperature of the lights throughout the day.
Ooooh do you have the code up somewhere for this? I would love to set it up at home :)

Whilst I was in China two years ago, someone mentioned that you can swap out the memory of an iPhone with one from another iPhone (e.g. water damaged) to get around an iCloud lock. So although it's quite sophisticated as a method, it's definitely doable.

You can use Mastercard and Visa in many high end ish places like Starbucks, upscale shopping centers (like Cocopark in Shenzhen), nice restaurants. Virtually all ATMs also support these cards.

I built a microservice that does something similar[0] for Mailchimp. They have an API that requires a secret key, but we didn't want to keep a server running for it (and obviously didn't want anyone on the internet playing with our key). So I set up a little python service that serves a page and 'proxies' the API to the end user.

Coconut Battery also shows this, albeit with a graphical interface.
You can install it via 'brew cask install coconutbattery'

Kiwi Campus | https://kiwicampus.com/ | Data science, Robotics, Manufacturing | Berkeley, Bogota, Shenzhen
Kiwi Campus is building the future of autonomous delivery robots. We're a young and ambitious team that has gone from early prototype to our third generation of robots in less than a year. Our robots drive semi-autonomously on the sidewalks of Berkeley, monitored by supervisors from Colombia. We're the company that's delivering the most orders by autonomous robots in the world.
Stack: C++, Python, ROS, Tensorflow, OpenCV, WebRTC.
The manufacturing team is heading out to Shenzhen where we'll be building our robot out of HAX, the Y-Combinator of China.

Do you have a white paper?

We recently started using WebRTC to transmit video from Raspberry Pi's where I work. There were a lot of gotchas that weren't obvious to someone who's never worked with VOIP or related technology: STUN and TURN servers[0], 300 seconds idle timeouts that shouldn't affect the connection but killed the video stream regardless, and dropped calls which forced us to reboot the Pi.
In the end we managed to get something smooth working with UV4L[1] on a RPi costing us a fraction of the previous solution.

Gitlab does not have features parity with Github. I personally also stumbled upon a bizzare bug that doesn't allow a friend to add me to any of his private repo's. Asked on IRC and nothing much came of it unfortunately.

Is Ariba cXML an open standard? In my experience working with SAP stuff is incredibly complicated coming from a more traditional development background.

We have just recently started using React for new products that our team develops, doing the design in Sketch. This was already a huge improvement in efficiency compared to doing design in Photoshop and building products with Angular. I'm super excited to try this library on our next project and see how it can streamline the design and development cycle.

I'm surprised no one mentioned Arcade City[0], which is working on a peer to peer alternative to Uber and Lift, using a blockchain. Drivers set their own prices, and there are no georestrictions like on Uber.
