Same here.

Yes, it knows which packages belong to you. It will only unlock if the package is being delivered to that specific lock and the package is "out for delivery".

This is probably the biggest roadblock to this product's success. However BoxLock is in talks with all the major carriers to provide training. The carriers themselves are incentivized to use BoxLock because it provides a guarantee that the package was delivered successfully and securely. They don't want packages stolen either.

You can add delivery instructions to most shipments that tells the delivery driver to use BoxLock.

redeemedfadi··on A Quarter of Cow DNA Came from Reptiles
Or, like any good programmer, when God was coding animal DNA:

#include <BovB.h>

redeemedfadi··on Ask HN: Lost $400k USD in a deleted email, how contact a Gmail engineer?
You always remember the successful investments you didn't make, but not the unsuccessful ones. Think of all the money you didn't lose making bad investments.
redeemedfadi··on Why I Stopped Using Multiple Monitors
I just bought a 34" 21x9 ultra wide monitor and am in a similar dilemma. I use ShiftIt (https://github.com/fikovnik/ShiftIt) for window management since I can assign a single keyboard command to center whatever window I’m working on. However, what I’d really like is for command/alt-tab to automatically place the active window in the center, the previous window to the left, and the second-most-recently used window to the right. I might have to contribute to ShiftIt to make it happen, unless someone here knows an app that already does that.

OS X will alert you when your battery is getting low.
redeemedfadi··on Don't Believe in Evolution? Try Thinking Harder
As a programmer, I have a very hard time believing the Theory of Evolution provides an adequate explanation for the state of life on this planet. We are ridiculously complex and very well tuned creatures. I can't believe something like this would ever produce something meaningful:

  begin
    code += random(character)
    code.execute
  rescue
    code.pop
    retry
  end
How much more the amazingly complex life on this planet...

redeemedfadi··on Misconceptions about Evolution
I'm curious if there are any HN readers that don't believe that evolution is the best explanation for the current state of life on this planet (other than me). Any IDers (intelligent design) out there?
redeemedfadi··on Inside Ember.js FastBoot: Faking the DOM in Node
This is really great. I needed this type of functionality in my Angular app and landed on https://prerender.io
redeemedfadi··on Android Lollipop is out, but almost no one is using it
And it's a shame because it's the fastest/prettiest version of Android I've ever used. I have a Nexus 5 as a test device and using it with Lollipop makes me consider switching from iOS.
redeemedfadi··on Hacker taps into baby monitor, shouts at sleeping infant
It's probably even easier to view the feed from my 2.4GHz baby monitor, but at least you have to be in range...!

redeemedfadi··on VisualPing - Get notified on visual changes to a website or website area
I wonder if there is something like this I could use for automated testing of style changes to an app/site. Currently I have to regression test the style manually.
redeemedfadi··on Introduction to AWS OpsWorks
Thanks for this. Can't believe I haven't heard about it before. At least all the time spent trying to learn Chef is not completely wasted.
redeemedfadi··on Our most successful game is also our least profitable
That doesn't make it ok.
redeemedfadi··on Light completely stopped for a record-breaking minute
Radiolab had a segment about stopping light back in February. It's a great listen: http://www.radiolab.org/2013/feb/05/master-universe/
redeemedfadi··on A Comparison of Angular, Backbone, CanJS and Ember
I'm making the same decision now. I've used Ember before and it has been a little painful. I'm going to give Angular a try now. It seems most people on Hacker News prefer Angular to Ember.
redeemedfadi··on Gitmo Is Killing Me
The leadership of this country is made up of citizens of this country. I think John Q. average tax payer would do the same thing if he were in office. Our leadership is a representation of us. The government is made up of US Citizens. We can't just blame the government for it's bad decisions, because in truth it is our decisions.

If we want to change the government, we must first change ourselves. How kind are we to our neighbors, who live across the street?

redeemedfadi··on Why I love Ember.js
I had almost the exact same experience. I originally used Ember 0.9.5 for an app and it worked very well. When I moved to 1.0.0-pre I felt that I had to completely relearn everything.

+1 on trying to track down errors. They never point to a line of user code! It's extremely frustrating when something breaks and you have no idea why.

redeemedfadi··on Rendr - Use Backbone on both the server and client
I'm using http://phantomjs.org/ to render my EmberJS app's pages and serve those to crawlers. I hope to write a blog post about it soon. It has the benefit of working with any software stack, not just Node.js.

Rendr looks like a much more robust solution, however. I'll have to see if I can incorporate some of it's techniques, specifically serving HTML on page load.

What will be funny is when we move everything back to server-side once we don't have network latency/bandwidth issues.
redeemedfadi··on What The Rails Security Issue Means For Your Startup
Patrick, Thank you for writing this article. It opened my eyes to how serious this issue is and how easy it is to compromise a server. Upgrading all my rails apps now. Thanks again.
