How crazy would it be to create an alternative to Locast, but using P2P tech to stream volunteer antenna video data? I was thinking to encode it in mpeg4/HLS and use webtorrent to distribute the stream -- that way a non-profit org could reasonably set it up and not have to charge money for bandwidth costs.
I've seen this pop up on HN before. And I just read another article on HN about how Bamboo lumber is made and found an interesting intersection. In that article, during the first few months of their growth, Bamboo gets to their final height, then they start to, as the article says, "lignify" for several years. Would that mean that Bamboo has much less lignin in the beginning, and would that also make young Bamboo shoots a possible way to get cellulose without as much chemicals?
I just came here to say that I really appreciate most of the civil discussion going on here on all sides. Doesn't seem entirely one-sided or extremely negative. Thanks everyone for keeping it that way!
Interestingly enough, Jean-Louis Gassée briefly mentions something about using a Cray to develop what was to be an Apple-designed processor decades before it was fully realized https://mondaynote.com/joining-apple-40-years-ago-805114536a... (See a little more than halfway through the article)
