You also need to force them to justify their requirements, since asking for something way beyond what you actually need is an easy way to hide the fact that they don't understand what they actually need. In my experience, people like t

Is the argument here that punishment isn't a deterrent for crime?

It looks like that requires a panel to move out of the way. I was thinking more like "zipper" (probably more of a contiguous interface), so closer to zero volume when attaching, then it "unzips"/splits and pulls the

Is that required? Could the suit itself be used as a type of airlock, to leave outside things outside? For example, mounting yourself onto a wall, then the back/whatever of the suit opens to the inside, and you hop out? (yes, there wou

All data shows there's a moderate correlation.

I don't know if it's that simple. As a litmus test, try to set up your own mail server. See how many milliseconds it takes for it to be blacklisted by gmail. And then observe the response time for their support, when you try to cl

I don't know, we would have to look at the data. Again, due to ethical concerns, they don't record or report the data in a way where more meaningful conclusions can be made. I think many many things contribute to the difference

You're putting too much meaning into that data. Look at the low numbers in Africa. Is it because they elevate their criminals out of poverty? Maybe their police have good relationships with the community? Maybe they're good at re-

Convictions/punishment is also meant to be a deterrent. That one being: don't rob a house in a state with a castle doctrine where the owner is allowed to fucking kill you. If you first hand help someone get killed, you're at

It's fundamentally a security camera, for many people. People buy them to see what's going on, record crimes for reporting, and to feel safer. I think there's significant overlap in people who want to feel safer and people be

Yeah, I ended up using an old mac mini for my Home Assistant needs. It draws a whopping 7W from the wall at idle (and it's near always idle), but the price of a new RPi is the same as 13k hours of electric usage for this. Using whateve

Squishy actuators, to manipulate the rigid links of a skeleton, does not make a soft robot. We do have subsystems that might qualify though (neck, spine, tongue, nether bits).

It's not "pushing" as much as a bunch of companies bought a bunch of gaming hardware, in a frenzied AI panic, and now it's sitting around for cheap. But, I think leased compute has always made the most sense for sporadic

Sure, the image doesn't come from nowhere. In this case, it's a wiggly piezo pushed raster scan with the light source varied to, ideally, match the frame contents for any raster position. But the "projection" is only to

I was going to go this route, but with all the GPU's sitting around in data centers now, you can get Steam cloud gaming for stupid cheap. I pay $10/month for 4k@120Hz (up to 80mbps video bitrate, they're experimenting with HD

Agreed, but there's a reasonable bounds for that future context that sets what's "practical", at the time these reserves would run out if not replaced (this discussion), with that context partially dictated by todays

Seems what it is, but with a "waveguide" instead of an "optical fiber" wiggling about. Seems like a sneaky use of the word "projection" though, since the "surface" the image is "projected" i

> There is no practically usable helium near the top of the atmosphere. The context of this discussion and the fourth word in that sentence is important. Something existing isn't the same as something being practically available.

That's the point, it's NOT a resource limits so there shouldn't be some exponential. As stated elsewhere, petroleum/natural gas companies are bleeding processable helium into the atmosphere, but only because there were
