No but this blogger bringing attention to the issue and getting the rule changed might.

That’s pretty clever. I actually really enjoy hacks like these that you have to use to get other people’s technology to do what you want in a way the original creator never intended.

Dealing with giant bueruecracy can be the most frustrating experience. bureaucracy’s are ultimately made of people though and rules can be stretched, broken, or changed. I hope some real human working at Apple sees this, has some sort of po

Probably just a way to grease the wheels and start the sharing of knowledge between parties. If Uber succeeds in becoming a serious aeronotics lab then the government will definetly want to collaborate, might make sense to get some ties est

They sort of have to right? If they don’t its going to be obvious and the government should come down on them. I guess the world isn’t perfect but we at least have regulation for things we put in the air that we won’t for self driving cars

I bet there is an attachment point and another engine on there to balance things out. I would be surprised if Boeing considered or purposely designed in some long range bomber capabilities into the 747. Maybe though as part of the sales pit

Yes, unfortunately both data and compute will probably become more and more centralized. At least the algorithmic components have a chance to becone available to everyone.

I am not sure why you are being downvotes, I agreed with your sentiment at first. Although when I really think about it I can see how it would deter many people who can easily replace their biking with walking. I really feel like there must

Hey! I worked with Dr. Akin in my undergrad. Definitely learned some of these he hard way during my project: 11. Sometimes, the fastest way to get to the end is to throw everything out and start over. And 14. (Edison's Law) "Bette

Makes me wonder how similar a spiders experience of the world is to our own.

I don’t think it’s terrible either. But if I’m reading your resume for a non architect position, I might be thinking that your going to come in, learn the field for a year, and then leave. That’s not the most attractive hire.

I think maybe he is saying they should have focused on high end cars only until all their automated manufacturing processes were ironed out.

Very cool! This looks like a very promising way to improve weather forecasts, predict wildfire movements (maybe?), and can maybe be used in control for chaotic systems? (Among other uses of course). It feels like every day I'm seeing d

Very cool how the search for a material for use in computing led to a better blue pigment. Reminds me of all the technologies developed during the space race or for the military that wound up being use in every day applications.

T-Mobile reported $40B in revenue for FY 2017, so this fine represents 00.1% of their total revenue. Is this sort of fine really going to deter them?

That absolutely is the case right now, it may not be in a few decades.

I think there are much cheaper and more reliable ways to mimic pedestrians right now than full on walking robots... But yeah some sort of random pedestrian/animal/debris in the road testing seems like it will be crucial to prevent

I think you are correct, but in the nearish future I don’t think it’s unlikely that the costs come down to the point where cheaper to use these machines than to pay for the labor of 4ish chefs. I think a big part of it comes down to handlin

Really cool! I wish more universities included this sort of training during their undergraduate ECE programs. Also worth noting (didn't see this mentioned in the article, and maybe this is obvious...), it is usually wise to make your p

I’m very amused by the fact that it took serious engineering effort to manufacture bulbs that were reliable during their lifetime but that would also burn out quickly.

I guess I'm mostly thinking of apps that aren't well supported. If the developer doesn't notchify their app and someone opens it on their new notched phone a year from now I'm wondering how android P will handle that.

It won’t be as big or as buzzy, but I think we’ll see more and more task specific ASICS as Moore’s law continues to slow down.

Yeah I would think this would cause issues with apps until they update for the notch. Is there a default "notch less" mode that only uses the lower part of the screen? and developers opt in to using the space adjacent to the notch

For sure, I’m by trying to say it’s a real theory, it’s just a way to interpret the quantum mechanics that we can test in a way that provide us with some sort of intuition when working with the physics.

by sgillen 9y ago
The many worlds interpretation is just that, and INTERPRETATION, not a predictive theory. The article seems really upset by that, but is it any reason to label it a lost cause? I guess you can’t really study it or preform experiments on it
