No, I switched to all LED.They all died within 5 years.Sure, I'll buy more LEDs because I like the color, but their marketing of them "Lasts 10,000,000 hours: is a complete lie.
I don't know when that happened (I remember it happening, but never look at usernames and avoid office politics), but noticed a big nosedive after we got yro., tech., etc.
Finding a new battery is like finding a new combination of elements that will make a bigger bang when mixed. With a finite number of elements and finite ways to mix them, most everything has been tried.
I'm offgrid and find it very useful. I reorganized my day to do all the heavy power lifting while the sun is up and as a consequence have little need for energy storage. Power management, while too complicated for some people, goes a long way.
If you have 5 or more (controllable blades) with sufficient power, then it is a redundant system. Technically you only need one blade to fly, but I don't think you'd enjoy the ride.
There are 6-9 sensors (minimum) on those things feeding a computer which in turn controls the
FETs which spin the props (so basically controls the instantaneous speed (read force) for each support. I have the source code that I think ran on a PIC somewhere, I found it on a German DIY quadcopter page with corresponding hardware. It's easy to generalize into any number of supporting props and motors.
I'm a loser. Always have been:) I think 'I think I saw about 15 seconds of a battlebot "competition" once.Looked more like remote controlled cars that I was playing with in the 4th grade, so got bored.:(
I grew up with these types of stories since the cold wars days. But were told that it was all cia propaganda and that they would never do anything like that.
hat would take a lot of ram and a fast computer if you wanted to see any movement at the top scale.hmmm, maybe that's the reason the universe is so large, just to be able to run a few brains...
I wish someone would do a followup with these officials and see what their rebuttal is. Why is this never done? Everybody is talking and saying the same thing, but apparently no one is listening.
Monkeys...code monkeys...was a common term before h1b going back at least to the 80's. It was used, at least in the company that I worked for, as someone who was brought in, usually at a high wage and temporarily, that could write software to a detailed spec, but who had little understanding of the why or how the system worked. The real, and higher up software engineers knew the big picture and spent little time coding (this was seen as more of a junior task), and spent most of their time creating detailed requirements because they knew how their part worked with hundreds, even thousands, of parts.
If you've read and understand where Wolfram is going in NKS, you should check out this video. It's the most interesting talk I've ever seen. Yeah, he talks about himself a lot, but the last third gets very interesting.

meh. i was here before the beginning
Remember the backlash when UIDs were introduced...or first proposed? And how many of the longtime users didn't even sign up for them?
Solar should be implemented where it's most economically viable first. That will take a couple of decades.
I remember a couple years ago when it was 1 GW actual production.
The Crystal Method.

Other than the one that I own, I've never seen another electric car on the road.
Here's a octocopter with 1 blade failure demonstrating 80% agility in 100% controlled flight.

Why shouldn't unmarried people get equal rights to those that are married?
Why try to hide something?
They're still capitalist

Maybe listen to this guy?
I was playing with motors for a solar car project in college (World Solar Challenge) in he early 90's that were 97% efficient.

And all the high service governments with big safety nets are fully capitalist (private ownership, allow wealth accumulation, etc).
