If you combine poor vision with also poor motor function then a seeing-eye robot that can open doors is definitely your best option. Boston Dynamics could easily make different models for people of varying abilities. A SpotMini for the blin

SpotMini would be great for people with disabilities. I imagine there's a huge market in healthcare for these robots. A seeing-eye or service dog cost $59,600. So if they can get SpotMini down to that price point, I think it could domi

Tencent owns PubG mobile. I wonder if they're training bots from actual players from that game and any other ones they own. I know bots inhabit that game, but they're not very goo.d

The junk stuff was repackaged many times over and sold as separate financial products. That was where the whole rocket scientist quant bs came in as it required made-up math to make it work. So it was re-rated from crap to AAA. And then AIG

Nah you’re throwing the baby out with the bath water. Poor people can’t afford homes and in many cases don’t have proper identification even to buy a home. That’s where the whole NINJA subprime thing came in. But the actual problem was that

I don't think this is a bad idea at all. Micro-work should be tracked for both the worker and client's sake. Paying hourly is highly inefficient as we all know it's very difficult to work every second of an hour. So if someth

I do wonder what will happen when storage capacity greatly greatly exceeds network capacity. That is it will only be possible and cheaper to send large amounts of data by physically moving in and not using a digital network.

IANAL, but I assume there's huge risk if Apple allows phones to be fixed by third parties. For instance, a nefarious repair shop could do who knows what(download all the data, install a rootkit, use defective hardware, install tracking

Fostering excellence means weeding out the crap as that just brings everyone down and makes everyone else suck. Even letting minor defects pass implicitly creates a culture where hey minor defects are okay.
