For example: 3D printers that are more amenable to 'short production runs' instead of just prototypes. Low cost / fast turnaround injection moulding. Quick turn around on smaller components. This already exists in the North

Can you elaborate on this? I don't get the connection between open offices and Myers Briggs.

You can buy shipping containers of these from Japan and China. If you want 10 inside the US, just pick them up off the playa after Burning Man ;D

+1 for the Yuba Supermarche. That cargo bike is super fun to ride. The steering takes a minute to get used to, it has a 4:3 ratio. For every degree you turn the handlebars, the front wheel turns 1.33 times more. It handles speeds up to 30mp

I have gotten read only CAN data from a 2006 Toyota Prius. I used TUCRRC CAN ID's to map the output. [1] The interface board was an early Macchina, Arduino 256 with CAN hat and 12V power on board. [2] 1 http://tucrrc.utulsa.

What are the use cases for the Titan V vs. Radeon Pro SSG? Just ML? Higher memory bandwidth? https://pro.radeon.com/en/product/pro-series/radeon-pro-ssg/

Oh man, I used a friends X1 box this weekend. The voice search was terrible. It couldn't understand "Chucky" in a midwestern accent.

91800 kmh per hour incoming, 158400 kmh outgoing. This space puppy just gained 66600 kmh from passing through our solar gravity well. Not particularly relevant, but very interesting!

I'm betting it shares a lot with the Movidius Neural Compute Stick and uses Caffe for the ML. https://developer.movidius.com/

Very cool approach to scaling a project out of small components. I wonder if the print time is 144 parts in 36 hours or 36 hours per print. Thats 15 minutes a print if it is the former!

This may bring the per part costs closer to what prototyping costs come in at for CNC machining or Metal Injection Molding. I don't see this being used with a lot of exotic materials yet, but for stainless steel this is great.

Oh the headaches those hill assist solenoids cause on Subaru's. Especially when they start to wear out or get electrical issues.

Here is a list of articles so far about methane capture and biogas. This is lab based experiments in small quantities (~50ml) but it could be scaled up. So in a foggy smog future where we all live in domes, these methane processors could sl

That RS article is kinda gossipy garbage, the WaPo article that was written about him in 2009 does a better job illuminating Kashkari. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12...

As someone who just signed up for grid tied residential solar panels, this made me review my loan documents again. Nothing in my documents mention PACE, or the debt-to-tax levy that ruined the old ladies' financials in the article.

That's a very pertinent question. I guess it falls on if you own a personal vehicle that you maintain until they become of age. Easy financing for personal autos may soon dissipate when the self driving car comes of age. Learning to dr

Truckers operate on the 14/11 rule currently. 14 hours from when you wake up, 11 hours from the start of driving. If they can throw that out a tractor trailer can log twice the hours in a 24 hour day than current regulations allow.

Close, the prius drivetrain is two brushless 3 phase motors nested in one another. This allows regenerative braking and charging while still providing power to the final drive. Fun fact the ICE in the prius is an (1) Atkinson cycle which op
