Monster Scale Production
- Did you know you can suggest guests for The Amp Hour? Be sure to check out our posts of past guest shows first though.
- Chris is starting to do pro-bono engineering. Check out the details and submit an application for help on his blog.
- Jesse from Keyboardio did a box o' stuff from the Shenzhen markets. We also featured his tweet a while back comparing the smart watch to starbucks breakfast.
- Dave really liked the Wired video special about Shenzhen.
- Wired also did a video about the production of a 737 at Boeing.
- If you're going into production, Jim from Mindtribe wrote about the tests to consider.
- Mouser tracked an order through their warehouse on video. Pick and pack for warehouses is still the domain of humans but solutions like Amazon's Kiva could speed that up.
- We enjoyed devttys0's "Faux Intelligent Light Switch". A nice analog circuit!
- More attacks from IoT devices. Recode asks, "Should the manufacturers be held responsible?"
- XKCD gives guidance on passwords. Chris prefer's the "Ready Player One" method of quoting songs for passwords (to log into VR), his favorite being "No one in the world gets what they want and that is beautiful." (They Might Be Giants)
- Shenzhen is copying Kickstarters before they even finish funding. Good or bad?
- Dave is flabbergasted at how much money a juicer raised ($120M). We are planning to have a VC on soon to discuss similar issues.
