At the Previous Company I was in (Bindo Labs) I was coding the NFC Payment Integration with the Point of Sales System (POS). One of the requirements for the integration was that every transaction has to happen less than 0.5 seconds including the hardware card-reading part. So I ended up having to wave the card around the reader all day testing it. I thought of building a automated testing robot but tight deadline prevented me from diverging, and it didn't end up happening.

I'd be curious to know how big a business it is for you now that it's 5 years past. Sounds like a very interesting case-study.

Choice means companies can choose to be walled gardens, and open source aficionado can choose to implement things with openness in mind.

Nice, with this you can achieve the "snooze till later" functionality of Mailbox that I still miss to this day.

He sure didn't write the article, but looking at him and what he's saying on the video gives me the same impression of cockiness. But I bet he's actually a nice person in real life. ;)

It's an impressive personal project, no doubt about that. It's however also important to recognize the difficulty of having a system that works in mass production and handles all kinds of situation. Like someone said earlier it's easy to have the car drive in clear day with very visible markers. The hard part is when it rains, when it's foggy, when things are less optimal, etc.

Once he get to that point he'll find that part to be a lot harder than what he's accomplished so far.

Literally finished listening to that episode like an hour ago before seeing this post. Talk about bad timing.

I for one welcome our robotic overlord

The number of jailbreaken device is significantly less in Hong Kong compared to that in China, percentage wise.

They somehow managed to do that: allow communication between two platforms. No one is quite sure how though. It's their secret source that they aren't open sourcing.

There's a rather excessive force being used on a population whom, unlike other large scale protests, didn't overturn any car, didn't burn anything, didn't cause any damage whatsoever.

The outrage is remarkably reasonable in this case, and unfortunately it's looking and feeling eerily familiar, to the ​Tiananmen Square June 4, 1989.

More international media coverage would absolutely and definitely help.
