http://inhabitat.com/yves-behar-mit-partnered-with-pediatrician-to-create-first-ever-smart-responsive-infant-crib/

quote:

After early-stage collaboration with MIT Media Lab engineer Deb Roy and others, Behar and Karp designed a smart crib from the inside out, starting with a brand new drive train, and the whole thing is packaged in a beautiful bassinet that would fit into the decor of just about any home.

quote:

The SNOO crib also plays a variety of white noise specific to the amount of the infant’s crying: a low-pitched white noise helps a tired baby fall asleep, while a higher pitched white noise may calm a fussy infant.

quote:

A shielded WiFi connection lets parents control the crib’s movement and sound from afar (or just across the room), although no interaction is necessary for the smart crib to do its thing.

quote:

“When the baby fusses, [SNOO] responds in seconds with increasing motion and sound – just like parents do – to find the right level of sensation for calming that baby, at that time,” said Béhar.

i don't think that's entirely fair. for every developer not aware packets might not make it where they're supposed to, there's the paranoid distributed system dev constructing ever more complex scenarios where the universe conspires to gently caress around packets going ten feet from one rack to another. possibly up to and including packets traveling back in time because you never know

i'll admit the average iot dev does seem to tend towards the former case, unfortunately

the average iot dev is an employee at a Chinese chip factory. he is writing minimally functional sample code to give to customers of the company's chips. those customers will then do the least they can to personalize that code to their needs and ship it in their product. the first guy doesn't give a poo poo about security because his bosses don't care about anything but selling chips. the second guy barely knows what the gently caress they're doing because they're really app developers who are just dicking around in the embedded firmware. they probably don't have the skills and probably don't have time and money to rewrite it securely, assuming they even understood what its current flaws are.

yeah i did that one to my grandma in the summer

i was going to borrow her car, she walks me out and says "okay, the button doesn't work right...i think it needs a new battery...so you have to press it a lot..."*press press press press press* "and it'll unlock after a while, i've been meaning to fix it. *press press press press press* here, you try it."

hands me the key and i put it in the door and unlocked it. "it's okay, i can always do this, right?"

she was very sheepish
