Maker and developer Prabhjot Singh has created what he calls Deaf Link. It uses a Raspberry Pi to serve as a translation hub that lets you convert sign language into audible speech and speech into sign language using a robotic hand.

This is particularly useful when dealing with data that spans several orders of magnitude. By taking the logarithm of the data, we can compress large values and reveal patterns that might be hidden on a linear scale.

Though the worst thing a 3D printer, even the best 3D printer, can do on its own is burn you, any model can print the parts for so-called ghost guns, homemade firearms that have no serial numbers. 3D prin [09:24] schestowitz ter fans and gun rights advocates are both concerned that these laws would cause an undue hassle to hobbyists and students, without making the public safer.
[09:24] schestowitzA bill introduced in the New York State Assembly aims to stop the spread of ghost guns by making it necessary for anyone buying a 3D printer to undergo a criminal background check, which could take as long as 15 days. Opponents argue that the proposal would not effectively prevent ghost gun manufacturing, but it would have a chilling effect on kids who use 3D printers to learn and makers who u [09:24] schestowitz se them for everything from appliance repair to robot building.
