Our cat was run over a few months ago so I grabbed an old raspberry pi 3 and an old Logitech webcam from the basement and coded a speed cam. I’m gathering some metrics on speeding and dangerous driving that we can share with the city to help get a real speed cam put in. Should I link the git repo?

In computer science I feel developers are often weakest in testing and security. If you code, I would recommend www.hackthissite.org which will teach you some of the traditional avenues for hacking. This will improve your coding and it‘s fun! (For nerds)
HackThisSite
HackThisSite.org is a free, safe and legal training ground for hackers to test and expand their ethical hacking skills with challenges, CTFs, and more.

The future of energy systems should be mixed renewable grids. This increases redundancy and reduces the need for additional storage, saving costs over time. Here is evidence using real world data. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨🔋
Yes. And we can minimize storage needs by building out a mix of renewables - wind, water, and solar power peak at different times of the day and year, thus reducing their variability. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨🔋

I got to go and play on a quantum computer yesterday. Just a two qubit SPINQ device, but it was interesting to use some desktop, room temperature qubits!
