Driving between fields on a bike with my 5yo son on the back.Noticed a person lying between the mounts of an asparagus field a little bit off, not moving.Some offroad meters later we were standing besides him.I checked for life signs, he was still alive, but not responsive.Temperatures were around 10°C and sinking, so potentially life-threatening.Called 112 (German emergency line). Lady on the other end was very friendly and well structured, asked me all the relevant details.Just as she was about to send an ambulance, the man suddenly moved.I kept the emergency line active while I tried to bring him to full consciousness and talk to him.After a while he stood up slightly unsteady.Did speak almost no German (nor English), only some Eastern European language.But was enough to make it clear to me that he just had been drinking a little too much and felt fit to go home by himself.Told the lady on the line that the crisis had been averted. She was very positive overall and told me that I had done exactly the right thing by calling.
But it would be the other way around:Established players would have to completely break and rewrite their existant transport layer in the whole world, just to be able to also cover the EU. (Or leave.)
While potential new competitors would be able to design it to comply right from the start.
described the $599 device (it also requires a subscription that starts at $7 per month) as a toilet bowl attachment that uses “optical sensors and validated machine-learning algorithms” to deliver “valuable insights into your health and wellness.”
Do they take their product ideas from the Onion?This can't be real, can it??
l am a little disappointed as it didn't dive into how to make it work nonetheless.
E.g. I am guessing the power needed to use my old mechanical typewriter at 120 key presses per minute (so 2 per second) based on needed force and travelled key distance to be in the 0.1W range.Not a lot, but probably enough to power an efficient microcontroller with a small LCD display.
I am convinced that with the right setup this could be actually working!
That's it: Overall pretty solid.E.g. definitely better first season than TNG.Xindi was crap imho, but some really good stuff in season 4.I was sad that they didn't produce more after that.
That's actually quite intersting, given that it started as a protestant tradition.
But catholics are also doing it here, so maybe completly disconnected from its origins by now...
