VTech KidiZoom Smartwatch DX2

At first this watch would be too big for our first grader. But once out, its incalculable amount of fun. She took a rainbow picture of me. She asked me to sing.We made it a Sally walker recording. She is giggling a lot in relation to spending too much time with this watch. Most of the time she is asking for my phone or ipad for making videos. If you relent then you know they go into YTlandia.

This should quite her for a while, till the interest wears off.

Theres game and a small person figure asking the kid to move for counting steps. Sometimes the voice recording happens in a funny voice. More huddled laughs.

Levitating (feat. DaBaby) Dua Lipa

Have you been on some errands and wondered what was accomplished? Like for example, you go to some place to get some ultra sound done and then walk home the same way you arrived. Atleast that day I heard this DuaLipa song. Also identified as one of the anthem songs of summer in the At home and Away sumer playlist.

Air Conditioner Heat Pump

 

Senville SENL-18CD Mini Split Air Conditioner Heat Pump 18000 BTU 19 SEER

Are heat pumps the answer to Heat waves ? NYT urges consumers in facing heat waves in pacific Northwest, to buy electric heat pumps to reduce fossil fuel consumption as well as to be opportunistic in using this pump for both cooling and heating later when the weather changes to cool. Thats a way to save gas costs for furnace.

CAN security challenges

Thesis  on A Novel Technique for Sample Point Discovery and Its Use in a Proposed Broadcast Confusion Attack on High Speed Controller Area Networks by Brendan Neil Mulholland is available on Proquest.Thesis Advisor: Professor Zachary Estrada 

 "Networks that employ switches and routers use information contained in higher layer packets, taking the data contained in those packets and generating new higher layer packets. But with CAN, the raw signal on a shared bus is the information upon which all devices act."

With switches and routers getting smart and adding to security, will CAN too need such an intervention?

Rubik's Impossible Puzzle

Finally we dug another cube in the house but.. it has many colors like a chameleon, lets see if this video is helpful.

Dora The Explorer Puzzle Cube Favor for Parties and Celebrations, 1-1/8 x 1-1/8 x 1-1/8", Multicolored

Tried to figure this rubik;s cube with the following video. I was able to get the plus or the cross sign, but after that since there are more complications in this picture, I couldnt follow the instructions as is from the classic one which has only colors. The other rubic cube we have is a Sudoku cube.

If you have patience to do one layer, here's a trick. Using maths to solve the rubik cube, at 17:36 in the TED talk, you can see how you can switch one edge piece and reverse those steps to put it all in order. The mathemagician says that at the most you need 20 moves to solve a rubik cube.

I loved the explanation in this video, especially the maneuvering with the reasoning behind it, instead of just algorithm of what to do.

Anthro-Vision: A New Way to See in Business and Life

 

Anthro-Vision: A New Way to See in Business and Life by Gillian Tett

Some interesting studies raised in The human factor article.

Why do consumers really buy dog food?

In Factors in pet food purchasing decisions study it was found that while vets are the main source of recommendation for pet food, the anthropomorphisation of pets too has caused the trend in pet food from store. The other factor was the characteristics of pet food like health and nutrition, quality, ingredients, and freshness.

Why do masks stop pandemics?

This we probably all know by now.

Why do Uber drivers hate AI tools?

Uber as AI-first company has a feature ("some of its drivers didn't know about one of its most popular driver-side features") that segments drivers ready to wrap their shifts, so they can allocate the ride request better to available drivers. Uber drivers beef with AI management are the constant thickness of the data needed for the AI, lack of transparency, dehumanisation.

Why do financiers find it hard to work from home?

Law and Finance seem to be struggling with work from home.

Broccoli Sprout Powder

Raw sprouts are not the only way to get some good fibre in with increased protein and reduced carbohydrate. Sprouts have been shown to reduce cholestorol.Broccoli seeds are sprouted to make the broccoli sprout powder. Broccoli has sulforaphane which helps you fight cancer. Cooked broccoli loses that benefit due to sulforaphane being sensitive to heat.

Things to remember

 

channel is all about volume.

Influence Automotives to get Tier 1 supplier.

SPIFs

Rebate is for getting somewhere.

Many things are made but how are they priced by customers.

compare companies % of Direct, Reseller, Distributor in same and different industries. 

Through digital twins, you can shorten the expectation gaps of the product development process and probably even revise the product specs based on how the product specs impact your environment.
