@lupyuen Floating point numbers compress great with CBOR, you just gotta know the precision you want. (Mostly into 16bit halfs: 12.34 has as much precision there as in decimal, and takes exactly as many bytes as 1234).

Then again, floats on embedded are annoying. (But if it was just that, 1234x10**-2 is just 6 bytes of CBOR and usable w/o needing to know your sensor's scaling factor).

@lupyuen this bungling isn't an example of what happens when it goes wrong, it's an example of why it shouldn't be attempted in the first place. The government *can not ever* be trusted to be transparent or competent enough for this approach, because there will never be anybody to hold them accountable.
