You sure can. My local theater shows you a seating map when you buy the tickets online. It's like buying an airplane ticket!

You're only 30? I thought you meant after a 30 year career and was going to call your bluff on starting with iOS. I'm nearly 30 and just last year switched into my first software engineer role after studying electrical engineering

Maybe they are a problem in Shanghai, but they seemed to be doing great in Xiamen when I was last there. The city made parking areas in every block that you should leave them in, and people generally seemed to do so.

Mine are gigahertz * inches. 11.8ghz * in is the speed of light. Gives you a feel for it and is practical. Want to find an antenna length? Ghz*inches are your friend.

Robotic surgery is not autonomous. The surgeon is in complete control and provides the only decision making input into the surgery.

No. None of the current systems enable that, since a surgeon needs to be ready to take over if the system becomes unavailable due to some failure.

This study is right that for the same operation manual laparoscopic is currently more efficient than robotic surgery. The issue here is that robotic surgery does not seek to displace manual laparoscopic surgery- it seeks to displace open su

You won't get underwater from a vested stock that crashed; the company bears the responsibility of selling enough shares at the time of vest to cover all the taxes- that said you can end up paying a huge sum in taxes and getting no cas

7 cents per mile on LIDAR would be reasonable in a truly driver-less system. Uber costs like $2.8/mile and vehicle cost estimates are usually around $0.5/mile, leaving a healthy overhead for a driver-less system to live in.

If you are counting that, then building up a dividend portfolio is a good source of passive income. About $400 a year from a 1x,xxx portfolio.

I agree it is difficult to quantify the costs, but I wanted to get an idea. A quick analysis shows that while a system like BART may operate at a loss of about one dollar per trip, that is not far off from the costs of operating our car and

I work in medical robotics and I can tell you that a lot of our code is quite old, and we have a culture that code you write will stay around. Some things don't change for example optimal control algorithms, while others things are ver

x64dbg is great. It has enough features (such as visual charts) to make debugging much easier than on a classic debugger. That said, it makes mistakes and is not nearly as bulletproof as IDA.
