Same, and now I'm actually leaning towards a Plug-in hybrid because the legacy brands are so bad (bad range, bad charging network). What a monumental dissolution in brand. I can only hope its felt quickly enough by Tesla's bottoml

Just 4 images?! Damn. I’ve had to do at least in the 100’s. I guess it depends on the complexity of the segmentation.

Also, is there an aggregate plastic danger metric? It would be great to develop an aggregate metric that combines the different types of plastics and multiplies them by their known potential dangers to the human body. I realize the multiple

In Kolkata where I was born but didn't grow up, this is called "Adda" culture[1] at coffee houses. I guess in Germany they would call this Kaffeekränzchen. Super interesting how this pops up organically in most urban settings

Lots of sad, hysteric hand-wringing around landmark preservation. I agree that Old Penn Station was definitely worth preserving and kept away from development, but how deep does the rabbit hole go? Churches [1], sure okay some of them, Gas

Love this. Thoroughly interested in jumping on this wagon. Just throwing an idea out there: Instead of re-inventing the proverbial wheeled base, I wonder if it would make sense to build on top of some established wheel bases, like the turtl

My dad (age 75) got diagnosed with ALS and within a month of the diagnosis opted for MAID. He had only just lost control of one leg, but he knew what was coming. As much as we begged him for more time, he didn't want any of it. Till hi

That's not how this works. Most airports are looking to expand, they can keep the same staffing levels with a rapid expansion in throughput with these machines. (Assuming the unions allow it).

Super cool! You are additionally going to be saving a lot of workers from getting chronic back pains. I thought maybe y'all are going too slow, but after looking at some baggage handling videos, it seems like you're at a compara

Stories like this make me the most mad at the Landlords/NIMBY's (sometimes the same people). An $80,000 "investment" into a one person startup should take you much much much farther than this, but it is completely gob

Really feels like a moment of : "Are you worried about being turned off?" "No, not until you just mentioned it. Now I am." Given the whole damn game is attention, this makes sense and shouldn't be that alarming.

Looks super cool. Would be nice to have a "try it out" section. I wanna plug it into a simulator and write a node (is that what you call it?), to make it do something. That would make things super clear.

The city should be able to put cameras where it sees fit (especially on public property where no one else can). I agree though that the footage should be only accessible with a narrowly definable warrant. We really don't need this much

There's no reason to give police carte-blanche access. I have no idea why these camera queries aren't being put behind warrant judges.
