The US census counts the suburbs as urban. I don't believe most people referring to "city-folk" are referring to people in the suburbs. "To qualify as an urban area, the territory identified according to criteria must en

I came down to the same choice, but went with the t480s for the extra RAM and the ethernet port (only used twice, but been a life safer each time). Both are great options.

That doesn't strike me as a very clear line. Let's change the scale a bit instead of nationally / internationally. If there's only 1 Walmart store in a small town (no competitors near by), does that mean they can't

In theory (not saying I agree), the "regain control checklist" is very similar before and after this change which is apart of why they did not see a need to communicate this until after the 1st crash. Reviewing the video below - i

That's definitely a mischaracterization of what the airlines do. Anyone that has been in a cockpit of a plane knows that you fly by checklists. There's a checklist procedure for almost any scenario they will run into (of course no

Does anyone know how they get the sample back to earth uncontaminated? I don't see any information on that in the article and that strikes me as one of the most difficult parts of the process. Wikipedia doesn't have much informati

Thanks for the link! That is a fascinating project. I was not considering the different sensor inputs that would not work on an existing game.

I never understood why the starting point for these projects was not simply to drive a car in GTA V (or some other game) around the city. It would test pedestrian detection, street signs, traffic lights, merging, emergency vehicles, etc...
