Curious to hear whether these weird Linux-asymmetries apply to Blu-Ray or online digital media (e.g. Hulu/Netflix) too. I would be willing to accept the fact that DVDs were invented so long ago that some of their…
Yeah, heh. I totally Amazon Subscribe-and-Save all my toilet paper now (but I don't always like to admit it)
I'd be curious to hear who you think the target audience/demographic is for your landing page. In particular, I find that the page is succinct at describing "what" AppScale is but not "why" I should click either Join or…
What's crazy is that Facebook has only been a public open-signup website for ~6 years, and it's so tempting to assume it will be around and popular forever -- I mean, why wouldn't it? But at the end of the day we really…
Interesting presentation, but it can't be the whole story. Even projects like SciPy which use the most rudimentary data structures (basically just a large array of floats) and algorithms (sometimes just looping through…
Heh. Not the first time it's happened :P
It's actually based on the ambient Wi-Fi signature of the airwaves around you. There is no image recognition involved!
In our experience, we've found that most access points do in fact have a fixed power. Either way, the system can accomodate some amount of dynamic changes.
Fair enough. We have a 90 second video on YouTube that should give you a sense of what you'll get: www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_GdXp_Swjs But basically, yes. It lets you build indoor positioning by walking around my room.
I thought this was super-clever when I first came across DiffBot last year. Can't wait to see what they come out with next. Keep it up!
@untog: It's actually a sensor fusion approach that combines both accelerometers and Wi-Fi signals.
Oh also, if you're up for learning more about the technology/platform in general, take a look at blog.wifislam.com
If you don’t have time to try the app, watch this video instead. It’s 90 seconds. www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_GdXp_Swjs
