IMO, some of the earliest truly L5 applications outside of very specific areas are going to require not only a geofence, but some amount of in-environment learning from a human driver at the wheel. This may involve some kind of conditional

I don't entirely disagree, but I think the takeaway is that the right path is not always intuitive, experience matters, and that it is hard for founders to trust advisors at times. This one probably could have been 50% shorter, which w

IMO it is not the "you must be a fraudster" logic as much as "we have enough other customers that we can burn you without much worry of repercussions". As much as I hate government intervention in business, it really see

I've had good luck with the Le Potato boards for RPi style applications. They are in stock and ~$55USD. Generally compatible with RPi4 cases and accessories.

In the late 70's ferro-cement sailboats were a thing. I watched one get built at the marina where we kept our boat at the time. It's mentioned here [0], the Sandpiper. [0] https://books.google.com/books?id=COilQT7i

I probably need to change that. I have a logo on the back next to my QR code, should probably drop that for blank space.

I just had to order more cards now that I am doing more in-person events. I have not seen any health concerns around business cards. I have a QR Code on the back of my card to make it easier for people to import the data, but IMO the physic

I do consulting, but not as a developer, more business growth/strategy. I tell all my clients, you are not paying for my time spent on a specific task, you are paying for access to my 25+ years of experience, learnings, and contacts. A

My wife handles NetSuite and some Salesfoce outside developers as part of her role. She says they pay agencies $180-$230/hr for devs, depending on the person, seniority level, task, etc. I know that many times the developers are in Ind

I've worked in the cable TV industry in the past. For the most part, the cable companies have little control over the channel bundles, they really wouldn't mind offering a la carte options, but they are forced themselves to get ch

You can add a rotary dial, copter blades, and wheels. But a USB-C is too silly even for a parody, that is just taking it too far.

Nice way to lead with a direct attack on a former executive, and one who is very highly regarded in the broader computer/network/hacker sphere. The whole second paragraph is just useless fluff. The "important work" they

The loans are usually sold as a bundle, with an aggregate risk calculation. If you first skim off the "best" loans, the ones held by debtors in a position to pay them off at a reduced rate you know have a higher risk/lower va

So your response is essentially your gut feelings then? I do not think your rate of change assessment is accurate. With many newer technologies, like the DNN/CNN frameworks, we see a more or less immediate order of magnitude improvem

I guess my argument against the aggressive timeline is that I have been working in MV/AI for the last decade or so, and am pretty deeply connected into NVIDIA, AMBA, a few SS lidar companies and so forth (though I do not deal with auto

While I think your estimates for self-driving cars are aggressive, we have also had these touchscreens in cars for about a decade already. IF we get to more autonomous driving, sure add in the touchscreens, but until then I think we may h

Same general trend on marine MFDs (basically the equivalent thing for boats). Models with knobs and buttons are the "premium" version, the default is typically just a giant touchscreen, which is not always great when you have wet

You'd be surprised how much cost savings matter. Years ago when I was working in IT at FoMoCo I recall seeing a piece of paper on an office bulletin board outlining how they had managed to save like $40 on the production cost of a Taur

Not only did it fail to solve a basic problem, it was WILDLY overhyped pre-launch. Nothing short of a $500 consumer-friendly jetpack was going to meet the expectations set. IME, when you come out of the gate not even remotely hitting the ex

I love the idea of this. It seems like your major hurdle is just getting enough traction for the "Ox" prefix to become as well understood as "@" or "#".

The Netware backend server was it's own OS, IIRC. However on the client side, you had MS-DOS and Windows Netware clients to login to the Novell server and access the associated shared resources.

I'm not an expert on this, but I think it comes down to Tornado being primarily associated with fraud/crime related transactions. Similar to Silk Road being shut down while Amazon was left to grow. Both had some percentage of fra

Yes, there are lots of solutions if there is a genuine attempt to solve the problem and not just dance around it. Political calls and texts should absolutely be blockable by users if they so choose. Cost-based calling may not be practical,

There is nothing preventing them from providing users with more granular call-rejection controls. Their networks need to be "accessible" on the incoming call side, but that does not mean as a customer I should be forced to have e

It is unfortunate that the cellular companies have allowed their core product (voice calls) to be so devalued that they need to be forced to solve this problem instead of just doing it naturally. The carriers are clearly customer-hostile, a
