You haven't got the first clue about politics in Germany. Germany is probably the most extreme left-wing country after Sweden in Europe.

There is a dataset of recorded heartbeats at Kaggle free for everyone to download. Not that many results there, though. I wonder how much better the algorithms have gotten and if Apple can actually do something useful with their device.
Submission + - ask slashdot: Your experience with open source hardware?
An anonymous reader writes: Recently I have got an Arduino and started tinkering with electronics. I am quite amazed at the quality of the hardware, software, and the available tutorials and (mostly free) literature. A very exciting and inexpensive way to get a basic understanding of electronics and the art of microcontroller programming. Now that I am infected with the idea of Open Source hardware I wonder if the slashdot community could suggest a few more things to get for a beginner in electronics with experience in programming and basic understanding of machine learning methods. I was looking at the OpenBCI project, which seems like an interesting piece of hardware, but because of the steep price tag and the lack of reviews or blog posts on the internet I decided to look for something else. Any suggestions are welcome!
