I currently work in central Virginia a bit more rural. Good pay and great cost and quality of living. 3 of the more senior engineers work 60% and 80%. But HR has told me that no one wants to come here. It has been a great place for start

Isn't people/mile still incorrect because you basically have islands of large dense cities with roads between them that nobody lives on.

No, I added it to the support request tracker on github.

I just added the BeagleBoard X15 to the board support list. Do you anticipate supporting loading the other embedded processors? The BeagleBoard X15 has 2 - Cortex M4s and 2 DSPs but I think a simple case would be the single core dsp on the

Yeah, Almost all of the gains came from switching from coal to natural gas in power plants.

Go get a massive asteroid and build a facility out at L1 Lagrange point.

To me this is just ridiculous. ULA is so far behind SpaceX. The whole Vulcan engine recovery thing just seems so likely to fail and they have to wait for the BE-3 and who knows how far out that will be.

There is this( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congressional_Apportionment_Am... ) still outstanding. It has passed the house and the senate so it just need 27 more states to be put into law. It would seem getting this th

Additionally, the Heavy could drop it to $1,600/kg. This does not take into consideration any of the reusability so SpaceX has lowered the cost an order of magnitude already.

At its 2016 launch price and at full LEO payload capacity, the Falcon 9 FT cost $1,233 per pound ($2,719/kg).

Compressed earth brick is pretty amazing. The whole house become a water vapor trap and the house cools itself as the heat of the day increases. Granted then you need to cool the house at night to refresh the thermal mass. https:/&#

I think the better question is why don't/haven't Millennials taken those jobs as previous generations did. This is a problem that has occurred outside of the technology debate.

My current theory is that this “automation bomb” won't really happen in the sense that 5 million Truckers are going to get laid off all of a sudden. Especially in the case of Truckers the average age is getting higher and higher every

Yeah, I like the illustration that Brexit is Bear Stearns especially because the market has recovered in the last two weeks(as it did with BS in 2007) and a DB implosion would be the Lehman Brother for the next collapse.

I have always thought that it was overselling the fact that all truckers are going to be unemployed. The average age of a semi-truck driver is in the low 50s. Most millennials don't want to do this job, so the robots will just replac

Most of the grain and corn is used to feed livestock. So if you just turned those corn/grain fields into grazing land you wouldn't need the combine(as cool as it is.)

If the Apple pattern holds then they will be 3rd or 4th to the mainstream electric car market but it will be marketed as "above and beyond" all products that we have seen to that point.

If you read near the end of the article, they say that SpaceX is going to launch a Falcon Heavy in November as a test. But additionally they are going to try to land all three boosters. The two side boosters on land and the middle booste

I have just purchased sames off Alibaba so the price per piece is pretty high. I would like to get the battery, controller and motor down to 100$ so then it would be $400 or $600 for the powertrain costs of the four and six wheeled version

Remember this is just the Animation studio. Spielberg still controls the DreamWorks Pictures which has been rolled into Amblin Partners.

Thanks for the question: Price would be the first significant differentiator. Most of the Clearpath bots are 5 figures which removes them from hobbyists and university teams. Making kits would allow us to lower the price but making the kit

So what is up with all the Chatbots? Between the two days there was at least three companies that seemed to be pushing some sort of generic chatbot. Is this really lucrative? I guess it could replace call centers with online automated hel

I wish there was a job and kids version of the Fellowship. Make it 12-16 weeks, and allow founders to keep their day jobs. I am in Georgia Tech OMSCS right now and people put 30-40 hours a week into that and keep their day job. It would be

Why wouldn't we be more risky if we knew we would live for 3000 years. Instead of 5-10 years of drinking and partying we would have 100-200 years of extended "college" years. There no pressure to get your stuff together if

Friedman argued you could use free markets as kind of a trojan. Once they get implemented even in an authoritarian regimes it is easier to transition to an overall free society. Chile is generally seen as having made that transition from

Removing minimum wage is a very important aspect because it allows teens to get experience early. Nothing kills teenage employment rates better than a 20$/hr mandate.

How would the fellowship apply to hardware startups? I am a in the basement hacker working on my idea. Even with 20k, I can't quite my 9-5 job. I would think after I have finished the Fellowship( in parallel with my job) the idea wo
