A Spot costs about $75,000, so as far as trusting the organizations... I mean, I find myself seriously considering buying one. Yes, I would likely have to add-on other modules over the course of time, but $75,000 for Spot's capabilitie

There's nothing scary about these robots, any more than my Roomba is scary. They are tools, and like all tools, they can be used for nefarious purposes or for the benefit of mankind.

The moral of the story is that most people don't really know how difficult it is to: 1. Come up with an idea. 2. Plan and execute idea to achieve a finished product. 3. Get finished product shipped out to users. That's why this ki

The only thing I backed on Kickstarter was a game called Trial by Trolley . I went whole hog and got the $65 edition. Took so long to make it that by the time I finally got it, no one ever wanted to play it. Most of my friends end up playi

$363,500,000 and no finished product. LOL, Jesus Christ if this isn't proof-positive that Modern Monetary Theory has corrupted everything I don't know what is...

Its almost as if Chinese companies are either just arms of the state, or thoroughly infiltrated by state actors! I don't think US-based hardware manufacturers are really any better though. To me this just illustrates the need for fully

This is why I like Wendell from Level1Techs. He's the quintessential tech guy who has really in-depth knowledge and insight coupled with a bit of bearable craziness... although I actually like Ryan more because he's basically me.

Or maybe you were just wrong and your ego can't handle it? I'm glad it doesn't have a block button. Its for cowards who can't defend their points. I would grill you just as hard if you were sitting across the table from

The exact diet matters a metric shitton, because Jobs' hubris cost him his life, if instead he had realized he did not, in fact, know everything, he might still be alive. Pancreatic cancer eats sugar for-fucking-breakfast. [1] He was e

You have to understand a person's motivations to understand that person. Kurzweil doesn't want to die. He wants to live forever, in some form. Once you understand that, you'll understand why he's so bullish on AI, gene t

LOL, no... "lived experience" is exactly the same as "an anecdote". There's literally zero difference. Its a different way of saying, "a story". Anecdotes are interrogable as well. Hell, its in the godd

That's nuts, I literally just downloaded UE yesterday and subscribed to Quixel to compliment my learning. I'd be very interested in knowing which courses you selected.

Oh man, I'm right there with you. I had the Bitcoin wallet app on my LG G3 years ago... I found a backup USB stick with the wallet backed up to it. Tried to restore the wallet, realize I've forgotten the password. It didn't

"Because there's not enough Mac users to justify support," is the official tag line, but we all know that's bullshit.. the answer is, "Because we can't rake in cash hand over fist."

This is such a laughable take that it could only be expressed on HN... Anyone who wants a one-stop shop for doing computing is forced into Windows 10 by default. Don't believe that? Name another OS you can play AAA games on, then fire

That is hilarious, they're actually going for the whole recording consent angle. Jesus Christ. VICE has always been sensationalist and desperate, but this is a whole new level.

Its completely clear to me. If you kick out a first-year student, you've deprived the university of the next three years of income from that student. We've allowed money to become the guiding principle of higher education, rather

If they all made the same error on the test, in the same way, they're almost certainly all guilty - except apparently for two of them. Every single one of these people should be dismissed or resign. They are simply not officer material
