Is it more energy efficient to use a counterbalance? Compared to simply putting the load onto motor torques? I understand energy efficiency is an odd thing to optimize for at this stage, but that would explain the design.

Are any of them communicating and chest-beating to organize violent acts? I realize its tough to tell with some of these groups. I think Facebook in this situation is looking at net-effects (esp given the timing of it all). Note German, Dut

Anyone who had to take an Uber after they switched away from Google Maps and onto their in-house half-baked mapping/navigation solution knows this is a huge problem. I'm assuming like all mapping solutions it'll get better bu

There are so many women I know that are cognitively over-qualified for the jobs they are in, and kind of stuck because of finances. I am sending this to all of them.

I wonder how much of this is just because of the failure of Bay Area-wide fast public transit. BART never made it to the peninsula and electrification of Caltrain is taking its sweet time. The only remaining option seems for everyone to cro

Please don't spread out. Leave the forests and grasslands alone and don't just keep adding subdivisions just so people can have manicured lawns. Its fair to say that the jobs could move to other city centers, but the solution isn&

I'm awaiting a time where I can do this as well. My issue so far has always been the loss in resolution due to the subsampling required. You can try a service like this: https://immersedvr.com/ to try out just piping y

I'm only now catching the nuanced difference between "authoritative" (which almost means "guiding") than authoritarian. Easy mix up from a PR perspective.

Yea in 2015, I distinctly remember people were predicting a 5-10 year "aggressive" timeline [1] with most AI peeps citing 10-20 years (I'm discounting Muskian bravado here messing up my averages). We are about on track on tha

Just as in Gatwick before this, the police and the airport are not able to produce even grainy footage of a drone that is supposedly "buzzing" the tower. Gatwick reported "67 sightings", but couldn't confirm if some

I think it's important we find out exactly how to quickly detect and stop these from happening next time. However, there's been 67 legitimate sightings and no pictures, videos? Not even grainy, badly zoomed video? Can the control

Woah. This is a good list, I just kinda assumed it was all unsolved problems (“request for research”) but it’s not!

The author alludes to the problem, I'd venture a guess it is a cultural import from Wall St. after the success of B2B companies in late 2000's.

Not Peter Roberts, but the best protection for you here is to push your legislator to get rid of the H1B rule restricting the free movement of jobs. H1b's can't freely change jobs and therefore stay stuck at low salary levels. Th

This is a big issue for me when people tell me to "move out of the coasts". Apart from the hostility (lets assume that's waning), services for immigrant populations is non-existent in most cities. Well-stocked Asian grocery s

Opposite experience for me oddly. People (like, outside of SoMa) are so much more relaxed and not rushed. Open to a conversation and not really in a hurry to be anywhere. I found it tough to find spots like that anywhere in NYC.
