I have some of these robots already, they were developed in partnership with Inertia Labs of Battlebots fame. Please tell me how I can contact these folks so that I can hand the technology and protoypes over! I'm serious! http://www.robots-everywhere.c...
Managing to win an American presidential election while being a person of color is a significant achievement. Not Nobel worthy, but signficant.
Not that the non-science Nobel prizes mean anything anyway.... they weren't set up by Alfred Nobel in the first place.
Unless the eyewitness is wearing a badge. Then his testimony magically becomes more accurate than video. I wish I was kidding: https://www.techdirt.com/artic...
Perjury is saying false things INTENTIONALLY while under oath in court. If I am called to the witness stand and say that to the best of my knowledge the guy accused of scamming really IS a Nigerian princess, and I genuinely do believe that, it doesn't make me guilty of perjury, it just makes me a very derpy individual.
Whenever a private company does something blatantly unethical, they lose reputation and customers.
Whenever an elected official does something blatantly unethical, they lose reputation and votes.
Whenever a law enforcement does something blatantly unethical, they lose reputation and... then what? It's not like they can be voted out and it's not like they have competition, so why should they bother changing anything?
I don't have a solution, other than "don't fcuk the police". Meaning: if someone belongs to an unethical unelected bureaucracy, don't talk to them, don't date them, don't sell them groceries, refuse to interact with them unless they force you to at gunpoint.
It's a word my aunt made up, really. He needed to convey "banana-republic-affiliated person who keeps beating drums about security while wanting something else, usually control". She was an anthropologist in Chile during the bad times. I'd like it to become a thing.
Any sort of securista ploy to invade private property like this that starts with "think of the children" should be automatically subject to Reductio ad Hitlerum.
I gotta disagree -- bullet trains make a lot of sense for some trips. Italy got high speed rail between Milan and Rome in 2009, and it's grounded a lot of airplanes (the same job gets accomplished with 5% of the energy). Plus, no mandatory security-kabuki entertainment, and shorter+cheaper taxi/bus ride from terminal to actual destination since the train arrives in the middle of the city.
For the USA, airplanes are probably the best option transcontinentally, but fast trains going up and down the coasts would make a lot of sense.
The solution to "electricity too cheap to meter" was inventing cheaper meters.
The solution to "can't manufacture stuff at home" is inventing cheaper manufacturing tools. I don't think we'll see replicators any time soon, but there's no reason why, for example, plumbers shouldn't be able to print plastic parts for dishwashers on-the-fly or in the shop rather than waiting for it to be delivered.
No, this is what they tell you, but it's not the case. For example, in most US jurisdictions a tenant has privacy rights against a landlord, so "surprise inspections" aren't kosher.
They'll get money from 20-30 people who are at the right intersection of right and stupid, and close up shop in a couple of years after having made a bit of money. Good for them?

Are they selling them? Sounds like a dream rifle for casual hunters.
In fairness, it worked with the Black Death. http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/M... (I don't know the english term, sorry)

If the public catches wind of a new space race that the US is losing, then NASA will get more money! Excellent!
they want their open source drone platform back. http://robots-everywhere.com/p...
Thanks, I thought it was more than just that one.

I'll start being pro-life when the pro-life folk stop being anti-contraception.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?... No, really, check it out. I still have a few for sale. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Can't mod you up since I commented.
Thanks! I went by what they print on the back of their ticket. Maybe it's CO2 emissions rather than total energy. Good to know!

what will we say when it's 50th anniversary time for Apollo 11? :(
no. signed, the internet.
Yes, the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria could've gone back home - so could the Mayflower (yeah, yeah, I know, I'm pasty white, etc.)
It's a lot harder to do that with a spacecraft if you know you need the Oberth effect of your destination to make it home.
So? A poll was done a while ago indicating that a lot of qualified people would go if they had 1 chance in 2 of surviving.
The only safe ship is the one that never leaves harbor...

This is huge... although we already make enough food to feed 12B people; we throw away a lot of it. Still, efficiency!
