Azure has P-ATO since 2013 - I'm not sure how that stacks up vs. AWS.

As a surprising aside, I found that homeowner's insurance in Hawaii covers "destruction of house due to lava" but not "destruction of the entire area around house, but not house due to lava". There are people who ha

When I was in graduate school, we did studies on human-robot interaction. Users very quickly moved from "tool" to "partner" with their robots. They even held funerals.

They can and do at the low end, but the upper end market is dominated by Deere and a few others in a way that is hard to understand. The manufacturer has to have the deep pockets and stomach for a protracted battle - lots of folks "ble

As that many acres is difficult to understand, that's a little over 2.6 square miles.

I was wondering when this would come up. I led a team building autonomous lawnmowers for a major outdoor power equipment company. To answer some questions: Autonomous lawnmowers are remarkably safe - far safer than standard lawnmowers by a

Testify. It demonstrates integrity. Any firm that doesn't want to hire you, especially if the case is clear cut, is not worth working for.

When a company I was working for received these, they were generally from chemical engineers (by title), but chemists showed up sometimes too. I think the engineering part comes in from the testing for a battery of things.

This exists - many manufacturing companies get hit up by chemical engineers who discover something in their product, backed by a lawyer. They get damages + fees and the product gets a "This is known to cause cancer in the State of Cal

Steam is both the butter and the bread so to speak. More games = more revenue. I don't know why they didn't do this sooner.

Another beekeeper here. There's no reason to believe that the bees will uncap the now empty cells to refill them post Flow extraction. I'm with tehchromic and the beekeeper that panic posted - this is a fad/sham. All of th

In a tabletop RPG, you can represent this easily. I'm sad more games don't play with this social/physical power dynamic.

A player shouldn't have to play your game just to learn in the end game that their fighter isnt going to cut it and they'll have to reroll as a wizard. That sucks (and is bad game design). Things shouldn't be perfectly balanc

Quick AND hassle free. I don't have time in the morning to prepare coffee - the kids have to get to school. The literal two button push to get coffee is a lifesaver.

I like that vision of pub-sub, BTW. It helps to make things explicit (and bar access when it would conflict). I agree that PCL integration is a must for larger robot platforms. I'm unsure I understand their "platforms" argum

Some context: This is a sweet use of webtech and an example of zero-infrastructure business for a niche market. They likely don't host themselves and fulfill via Shapeways.

Interesting that they don't mention Peapod - it isn't Amazon, nor a SV darling like Instacart, but they survived the dot-com and are still going strong. Fantastic idea indeed.

Amazon doesn't want to sell them - Amazon offers fulfillment as a service. It is a definitive competitive advantage. That said, it may also be a great startup (tech companies certainly want, most technology issues solved, etc).

I used those terms as flavor more than anything. That said, the core argument of each (we're going to kill X, we're going to make a ton of cash because we're just better and faster) is a typical conceit.
