Another also relevant – especially for people who'd rather buy the hardware than put it together from parts: http://dev.moorescloud.com/ and http://holiday.moorescloud.com/

Its (effectively) a RaspberryPi and an Arduino on a custom board, with Wifi, 4Gig SD storage, and 50 RGB Leds – with a bunch of software (based on top of ARCH Linux). At the current intro price – my RaspberryPi based imitation cost more in parts that the Holiday @ $129 (even though I'm using WS2801 driven leds and don't need the outboard Arduino, a 'Pi + SD Card + power supply + USB WiFi + 50 WS2801 LEDs cost me over $150 - the LEDs alone cost me $90 from Adafruit (a while back now)).

(I said "effectvely", 'cause it's actually an iMX233, not the Broadcom SoC on the 'Pi - it doesn't have onboard video or ethernet, but it does have a USB wifi adapter inside.)

(Full disclosure, I've doing a bit of web-service architecture and devops for them…)


That's incredibly cool! Thanks for that. I think my next project will be implementing Cheer Lights functionality.


It seems that in the anonymous email that was sent to me, the user's apostrophes weren't formatted correctly, and turned into "'". Otherwise, I like the service!


Same article, but reformatted to make it easier to read (for me at least): http://www.readability.com/articles/ikavpsvz


One minor problem I found is that when commenting, the submit button shouldn't actually submit if the captcha is blank -- otherwise the entire comment gets lost as the page is reloaded. Otherwise, the site looks great!


Oh good point. I completely forgot to check that.


Could this have been a vulnerability in Lish, which can be run from a browser using Linode's AJAX console?

I've completely ruined networking and disabled root logins on a Linode VPS, but could still access that same VPS as root using Lish.


This doesn't lower the temperature of a nuclear reactor or any heat source. The new material will still experience an increase in temperature, and the same amount of heat will still be released into the environment.


If the same amount of heat would be released in the environment, you would create energy (electricity) from nothing. And I think that there might be some scientists here, who do not think that this is possible.



I find it interesting how the theorist says "The finding does not constitute a discovery of dark matter", the journalist titled the article "Signs of dark matter from Minnesota mine", and then to_jon posted this on Hacker News as "Evidence of Dark Matter Found in Minnesota mine".


Humm, sounds like evidence of link-bait darkening HN.
