Special Ops vs. Segways
- hga 17y agoThis is a fantastic application for the Segway, especially in that it allows for live-fire exercises (well, baring use of .50 BMG and the like by longest range snipers, I'm sure). "You will perform as you train" was one of the lessons taught to me in JROTC smallbore Rifle Team (.22LR target shooting) and is something that's been drilled into me in every bit of practical firearms advice and training I've read or done. However, what I found to be the most interesting about this is how good an example it is of how an startup needs to be flexible. You shouldn't be too obsessed with how you expect customers to use your stuff and you need to change as they figure out better or other ways to use it.

- lyime 17y agoThis might be far fetched, but I think we could apply similar technology to cloud computing and infrastructure management. Especially if you watch towards the end, a robot could be instructed with a high level objective. In tandem, multiple robots work together to achieve that object. Anyways, I have been thinking about how server infrastructure could be more autonomous and self-sufficient/self-healing.
