    Battery operated lawn equipment?

    I bought this: Amazon.com : GreenWorks 25322 G-MAX 40V 16-Inch Cordless Lawn Mower, (1) 4AH Battery and a Charger Included : Walk Behind Lawn Mowers : Patio, Lawn & Garden It's OK, not great. The battery life is enough to finish my lawn. If you're particular about your lawn, It doesn't cut it...

    My guess is that if we ever find life on another planet it'll BTFO of a lot of constraints and ideas we have built up on what is acceptable, especially if it's a non-carbon based life form.

    Im disappointed that @trex backed down from my challenge. No upstanding member of this community would back down from that kind of challenge. If you do pick a game please pick titanfall 2, i want an excuse to buy it and never played titanfall1.

    How about this, Trex, you pick any online game I don't have to pay for or build a character up to play, and if you can beat me in it I'll welcome you into this community. Note that I'll demand there is enough web-cam proof to know it's you and not some nerd. I know you camwhore on the side so...

    This is extremely cool and not bullshit. It doesnt represent all what a dock worker does but if i was a thirty year old dock worker this would scare the shit out of me.

    Tolls on highways are easy. It's the tolls that happen at a local park with some chick an adjacent building and a 25 year old line on the road asking you to stop that's tough.

    Bonus: You never have to pay a toll fee again because your autonomous car will just whiz by as you give an apologetic shrug at the attendee. But yes, your larger point is the #1 thing that is going to be tough to surmount for a 100% autonomous or level 5 vehicle...

    Yeah that's what I'm guessing too. I wonder at this point what the difference between recovering the lifter and letting it burn up in re-entry is. It could be the difference between SpaceX literally losing money on lifting the satellite and a criminal profit margin.

    Not only that, but it was the biggest thing they've shot into orbit and first geostationary (which means really fuckin' high) orbit. What is funny is they originally planned to use their falcon heavy to launch it, but it wasn't ready so they used their standard issue falcon. But because it was...

    I think it'll be a generational thing. Our generation, our parent's generation, their parent's generation and even our kid's generation view car ownership as the largest provider of freedom since we learned how to ride a bike. But our grandkids? If autonomous vehicles provide that level of...

    Autonomous Systems

    People talk about how often others will fuck with your autonomous stuff, but I feel like it's unlikely purely because of fear of the devices and how much surveillance they'll probably have, especially larger autonomous systems.

    It cracks me up when I see an article like this, see the imagine and think it just looks like a boulder. But somehow people might think it's an alien tank. Because aliens are just roaming around in tanks on the moon.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    I think if I saw an "actual work done" chart at the end of 2017 that compared the 2017 schedule, and it matched in any way, I'd be feeling much more confident about SC coming together.

    this 100% Because the fairly low tolerances in the 10CM range, you really need an active feedback system, ex: through a perception system that tracks where you are and where you need to go. Another idea is to simply detect the length of the grass you're cutting, such that the robot is always...
