I did not!

What thickness of rope did you use?

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...

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.

GOT EM @Screamfeeder

If i did a flyby of the sol system and received @Tolan s posts id crash into luna.

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.

I don't know what's going on, can I become an amod again and do whatever I want yet?

I am a big fan of engineer masturbation, though.

Elon Musk’s Boring Company is boring… For now. – The Naked Founder – Medium

I wonder how expensive it will be to make these tunnels. Elon Musk Is Really Boring

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...

Are you fucking kid me, I didn't know we had a SPACE TANK. It's too bad it's just a marketing gimmick and not a real prototype =\

X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle-4 lands at Kennedy Space Center > U.S. Air Force > Article Display Rumor says they're using a hall thruster (ion drive).

No fence here, anyone who makes an mra thread in a forum wih 99% men is a beta.

Thread sucks.

So: Nostalgia-driven cash grab or rebirth of the arena shooter genre? I'd love to get *really* good at an FPS again, it's been a while and I'm tired of low-skill cap FPS.

I wonder why they're hiding the second stage landing.

If you weren't able to legally drink before Luclin came out, you're a millennial.

The second bit is pretty good.

Fuck, I was loose with my verbiage and now Kiroy got one up on me. What's the greatest advancement to civilization that has come from modern society discovering something about a prehistory society?

It's not breaking news because it doesn't really matter and it's just pretend-scientists playing with rocks and dirt. @hodj What's the greatest advancement to civilization that has come from a prehistory discovery?

Every autonomous mower I've seen is terrible because it makes no attempt at efficient paths and just relies on being able to operate indefinitely. Which means the blades will get dull like 10x faster, the mower will be active 10x longer than it should and your lawn looks like you mowed it drunk...

This is the science thread, not the "science fiction" or "science enthusiasts who use philosophy and sociology to ponder scientific issues thread".

Giving Tilly a Hand: Tilly Lockey, double amputee, tests a pioneering bionic hand to help other children overcome disabilities - Womanthology Gaming companies doing innovative research to create game-inspired tech from near-future sci fi is an amazing idea.

"Hey what's that non-descript object? Let's turn to our UFO expert"

@Titan_Atlas Have you been to any of these places or even know someone who lived at those places, or did you get your opinion on them from some shitty articles? Barring nuclear war with Pakistan, India is just fine.

Very cool. Wouldn't mind a much briefer description, especially for people who already know almost everything on that page.
