Ingress Protection Marking, classifies and rates the degree of protection
IPX - 4 splash resistance.
The IP Code, International Protection Marking, IEC standard 60529, sometimes interpreted as Ingress Protection Marking, classifies and rates the degree of protection provided against intrusion (body parts such as hands and fingers), dust, accidental contact, and water by mechanical casings and electrical enclosures. It is published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The equivalent British standard is EN 60529.

“The Internet could crash. We need a plan B”, how about the Intranet?
“The Internet could crash. We need a plan B”
Danny Hillis addresses this in his TED Talk “The Internet could crash. We need a plan B” (2013). “We have expanded [the internet] way beyond the limits of how it was meant to operate,” he says. “There’s no clear backup system that we very carefully kept to be independent of the internet, made on a completely different set of building blocks.”

And why do we only have one internet? Well, most likely because we’re lazy. “It’s not that hard a problem,” Hillis said. But, “It’s very hard to get people focused on Plan B when Plan A seems to be working so well.”

HYPE Labs
Hype is an SDK for cross-platform peer-to-peer communication with mesh networking. Hype works even without Internet access, connecting devices via other communication channels such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi direct, and Infrastructural Wi-Fi.
The Hype SDK has been designed by Hype Labs. It is currently in private Beta for iOS and Android.
You can start using Hype today, join the beta by subscribing on our website.
What does it do?
This project consists of a chat app sketch written to illustrate how to work with the SDK. The app displays a list of devices in close proximity, which can be tapped for exchanging text content. The SDK itself allows sending other kinds of media, such as pictures, or video, but the demo is limited for simplicity purposes.Most of the documentation is inline with the code, and further information can be found on the Hype Labs official documentation site.
