Absolutely beautiful work! As an amateur roboticist/professional dilettante I've often been tempted to consider a robot as little more than a 'Normal Line in R3' (essentially an end effector's pitch/roll/y

It's a totally rational, bigger-picture thought process: 1. Employer will not tolerate "absenteeism" and will retaliate with consequences up to termination. 2. Spouse will not accept lower standard of life via reduced wages.

I agree, wholeheartedly and have a hard time understanding the thought process and worldview of someone who rides a loud motorcycle even five blocks in a dense urban neighborhood at night. In one neighborhood I lived in... each building was

Synthetic consumer diamonds is an interesting space, one that was actually explored by GE in the mid-late 90s. This article gave me flashbacks of "Straight from the Gut" by Jack Welch [1]... any chance you worked with that particu

Great system, and a fantastic implementation of "zero tolerance" with direct, mandatory, non-disruptive, face-saving manager intervention.

Toilet Paper is one of my favorite "How it's Made" episodes. Feel free to check it out at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z74OfpUbeac . My favorite part is at 4:43 with the Circular Saw!

I don't mind marketing puffery in the sense of "world's most innovative [X] ever," but I agree with your view that "Full Self-Driving Hardware" is dangerous, and branding the integrated system as AutoPilot™ onl

From my understanding (which could be complete and total junk science/quackery)... wheat and other vegetables are carbon neutral. CO2 is extracted from the atmosphere, and used to grow the plants. Even unused parts (wheat straw) are a

I strongly agree with monitoring internet usage, filtering, curfews, limited media consumption, and so on. I must say that it's absolutely fascinating how 80s/90s "normal" is now perceived as extremely strict, but unders
