Since it's a skid-steer (steering consists of slowing the rotation of wheels on side you want to turn towards) the whole setup is probably different. I'm guessing it has two hydraulic motors, one for the left side and one for the

Donald Knuth's annual Christmas lecture at Stanford was just released on YouTube a few days ago. It's about comma-free codes, a similar idea to this bug: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48iJx8FVuis

Surely that can't be for real. I saw it a few days ago and immediately thought it was a parody... but...

The FAA has created a lot of FUD by not drawing clear lines on what they don't control. I'm a private pilot with rotorcraft rating as well as frequently a passenger and there's nothing I'd rather not have happen than a

Was the server actually at her house or was the domain name just registered with that as an address? Neither option seems even slightly damning.

This illustrates something that might be a significant future problem for law enforcement, etc. - how to enforce anti-drone laws. Perhaps this will lead to an anti-drone technology industry with drone-tracking equipment and drone-capture d

I've been wanting a better Postgres client. Pgadmin works but it's a bit dated. Postico looks promising. Download and setup went seamlessly and the ssh tunnel functionality worked great. This error message was shown when I con

Interesting clause at that link you provided. Do I understand correctly that there are no weight limits currently if a drone is certified by "a community-based organization?" 3) the aircraft is limited to not more than 55 pounds

These things can be useful fraud-detection signals. If you don't log password reset requests then you're missing a chance to catch suspicious behavior. Even if you're capturing that data but using it now, at least having it

I was thinking along those lines too. A 46" high nitrogen tank holds around 125 cubic feet. As a wild guess, if an ATM contains 5 cubic feet of air then you could completely change the air 25 times with one tank. Does that sound rea

"Don't be evil" means that sometimes you should do things for the good of the community without expectation of direct rewards. Maybe I'm idealistic and naive but I think that Google tries to live up to that.

At least some of it was probably for the Lyle Gun ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyle_gun ) which was used to send a line (rope) from one ship to another to transfer people or cargo.

I bought a sample light-emitting capacitor from CeeLite a few years ago. I was thinking of incorporating LECs into a building project but the very faint buzzing noise from the LEC and the understanding that light emissions would degrade ove

The early days of commercial aviation in the US were largely open and unregulated. The first serious governmental effort to regulate aviation in the US was in 1926, by which time it was clearly needed. I don't know anyone who think

That is exactly what they are doing. It is infuriating to watch our potential US drone industry developing in Canada, Australia, Japan, etc., but not here.

I wouldn't vote to hire a candidate solely because of a nanodegree from Udacity but I would consider it a positive signal; not as strong as an MS in CS from Stanford or a long list of published apps, but evidence of a desire for self-i
