You need better legs and not more legs, that's what I kept telling my ex-girlfriend, too. That didn't work out too well, though maybe Elon will have more luck.
This is why I think that barge landing is pointless, unless it is on a nice still lake, or the barge is 100 percent stabilized. If teh barge is lifting, it can land too hard. If sinking it might be a little better. Just seems like an un-needed complication
Well they aren't doing it just for shits and giggles - landing on the barge requires significantly less fuel than returning all the way to the launch site. This, turn, reduces the payload capacity and increases the cost per kg.
I do wonder how feasible it would be to build some sort of a hydraulically stabilized landing platform on top of the barge - not only could it compensate for the shitty weather, but also soften the landing if it detected the rocket coming in too fast.
Looks like second burn went well and payload was successfully deployed. Maybe the OP was just from the (very near) future?
Calling the landing a "partial success" is probably a very optimistic way of putting it, as I imagine it likely hit the platform too hard (due to the waves?), broke one of the legs, and fell over, possibly with a big boom. Still, it's difficult to say without at least a video.
Ebay, banggood or alibaba have them dirt cheap. A got a couple boards this way, and they're perfectly fine and well made. In particular on alibaba there are a bunch of $1/unit suppliers, though that's the FOB price and then you're on your own.
I've used Waze too, unfortunately it's neither accurate nor quite precise enough to make the optimal decision in many cases.
Just a while ago I was stuck in a jam on a highway and Waze/google were showing that there was, in fact, a traffic jam there. But it wasn't clear how long it was, exactly, how fast the vehicles were moving just beyond the visual range, etc. Which is what you want to know to make the decision whether it makes sense to take the nearest exit and go around it.
So until we get better connectivity between the cars (which due to privacy issues I'm not really looking forward), a small drone with FPV capability would be a solution. Probably not really worth the hassle, overall, however.
So if regular object recognition is such a solved problem, why to they need people to manually prepare the images? I'd just take a normal image, recognize the objects, and then partially cover some of them to train their algorithm.
Those statements aren't necessarily contradictory. The drug has been perfectly effective in the study - nobody who was on it got infected. At the same time this might not be sufficient to claim that the drug is perfectly effective in general. It's possible that the test group was just lucky or there are people for whom the drug won't work, but they didn't get into the test.

The DeLorean never had a V12, Jag or otherwise. What the hell are you talking about?
Huh, interesting, that's just what your mom said as well!
If Amazon can deliver your package to your back yard, I can take it from your back yard, too.
BRB, gonna go charge my DJI :D

Digikey has them with some minor volume discounts for 10 units.

Because it won't actually solve the problem of terrible vertical videos, which is that they are vertical.
In fact, it would probably encourage more of them to be created by morons who would feel validated by the new feature.
Considering the trainwreck that was the previous mission to mars!
How about you just ship something already so we can see for ourselves, huh?
All this talk is nice and good but if nobody can actually have the product for another year, it hardly matters.
No, we don't have airports in city centers because airports are enormous and noisy.
As usual, the whole "drones will fall on my head" thing is luddite horseshit based on little to no evidence from the real world.
That's ridiculous, especially considering that the 2.5mm stereo jack IS ALREADY A THING. They've been used for ages in phones for headsets too.
Well, we can still hang him to make an example!
Yes. At least that's what I've heard from people there, never been myself though.
A lot of things can cause some damage. Like a 80kg guy riding a bicycle on the sidewalk. But we don't require bicycle registration for some reason.
Speaking of terrible names, let's set up a kickstarter to buy out the naming rights and name it Goatsemus Maximus or something.
Cocaine's pretty awesome though, so who cares.
No shit. It's this and the feature creep with the stupid headphones and useless controller that really pisses me off.
What they try to build is some sort of Matrix while what everyone actually wants are just head-tracked 3d goggles to play plane sims in.
"Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" becomes legal C++.
Maybe he was bought off by not having his legs broken with baseball bats.

Lol if you believe these fairytales.
It was actually me. I was hungry and trying to bulk so I ate them all.
Probably because they think they should be special and immune from the shit everyone else deals with.
