Yes. Casually. It's actually a lot of fun.

For EQ at least, there's no reason they can't treat it like a cash cow indefinitely and just have a minimal dev team making minimal amounts of content. There's no need to try and revitalize the game, it's doing fine for what it is, and there's no excuse for it to not be revenue positive. DBG...

People are generally happy with it. There's some issues here and there, but the content is not buggy, good and enough to progress through. There's enough to do for a month or two casually. The massive number of fairly diluted and uninteresting AAs is daunting. For some classes there aren't that...

Next Big Future: Cannae will try to prove propellentless propulsion in space in 2017 and has ambitious space probe designs with 33 years of constant acceleration to reach 3% of lightspeed I'll take an avatar bet with anyone that Cannae will never launch a Cannae drive-driven space probe.

Asteroid Mining should have its own section (Planetary REsources, Deep Space Industries). It's the future!

Did bounties through all the acts and did a rift. Also read a bit about the current meta of the game: http://us.battle.net/forums/en/d3/topic/17346426537 Monk Leveling and Fresh 70 Guide (Patch 2.4.2 / Season 8) It seems like the way to play is to pick a torment level you can faceroll, and just...

Cool. Ill check it out.

Came back to D3 after not playing since before RoS came out. Started off on default difficulty, kept cranking it up and got to torment I before finishing RoS. It seemed like it only took 3 hours to beat RoS, not really sure what to think but it felt uhh, really short. I didn't expect much and...

Well, there's a lot of possibilities and nobody has made a real industry standard way that everyone follows. Like anything else there's a spectrum of possibilities from low-end to ultra-futuristic-cool. On the low end you have a perception system that uses SLAM to map out what is immediately...

Re: the above truck picture, we've all been there in the northern states. Not like Kentucky. There's a textbook approach autonomy uses called Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), where perception data is compared with previously generated models and live data to perform both...

landfill automation would be goofy. I don't know anything about landfills, but I imagine you'd have to carefully model deformable terrain while driving on it. No idea how much a landfill operator intuitively understands that by knowing generally what's in the garbage he's driving over.

On and re: GPS, with current tech you can expect that 3 meter bubble, but that can be heavily reduced with different methods of what's called differential GPS correction. Most error is atmospheric, so if you know what the current error is in a given location you can offset based on that...

Yes. Certain types of Ground Penetrating Radar can find ground beneath snow. MIT Lincoln Laboratory: News: Lincoln Laboratory demonstrates highly accurate vehicle localization under adverse weather conditions Ground Penetrating Radar Equipment for Ice and Snow Surveys - GSSI Ice and Snow -...

Yes, you'd absolutely need a fairly accurate world model generated from pre-snow data. That's what Ford is doing to do accurate localization (figuring out where the vehicle is) after heavy snowfall when there are no lane markings. Once you have that, you've got a optimization problem of trying...
