It sounds like theres room for a deal here; multiple app stores are very trendy right now :) My preorder is definitely on the line if this doesn't get fixed.

This is an interesting concept. Another thing that would be interesting is if recruiting firms started operating like this...

Perhaps the author was quoting a statistic that includes electricity requirements of the datacenters and infrastructure to power the phone. Perhaps not, but that would be an interesting statistic.

This is my solution, but it feels like there should be a better way. I have replaced 'staring into space thinking' with taking a walk outside my office.

You should check out Virtual Desktop with the Oculus Go. It’s astonishing. The Go’s screen is appreciably better than the Rift’s, and the network streaming utility that brings your Windows computer’s screen into the Go is excellent. One thi

I’m finding this out the hard way. I recently shut down a startup that became very distant from my interests, and now I’m having trouble finding jobs in my actual interest area, hardware engineering. I’m no longer a ‘recent grad’ so my coll

Wow, I didn’t realize that the validity of this statement is not widely confirmed. I’ll post back here if I find any info to confirm or deny this.

Agree - this article is pretty underwhelming. Rodney Brooks seems like the only person who knows how to write an article like this that delivers.

I also do this. Two handy upshots are: - At the end of the week, I have a list of most of the things I’ve accomplished - Tomorrow morning, I can hit the ground running because I can remember where I left off

I believe companies like Boeing or Space Systems Lorale do that kind of work in their satellite design groups. Same with Orbital ATK.

Yes - I've since switched to the Apple email client.

What companies will scoop up all the talent that was there? Can anyone speculate about what Rodney Brooks will do next?

I agree with the idea that startups should generate clear hypothesis and do well-documented experiments. VCs should be more vigorous about grilling founders on their hypotheses, imo. The experiment logs also make for content-marketing and i

If you’ve ever seen an OG Pebble, you’ve seen that display. It looks like a better resolution gameboy display. Very little space between pixels. Some models are different, though, and basically turn into a mirror when their pixels are turne

In my experience, memory LCD has been a better technology to work with: https://www.sharpsma.com/sharp-memory-lcd-technology No crazy +/- 40V lines, no external driver circuitry, and extremely low power. Not as low pow

Ubuntu runs great on my 2013 15" Macbook Pro. It does mess with the boot manager, and can become unstable if you install it simultaneously with boot camp. The only issue is that the trackpad drivers aren't so good. Stick to OS X i

I didn't see in the article a T_low or T_high where this device was operational. Normally TEGs work well with high temperature differences (attached to the side of a hot wire pipe with a heat sink on the opposite side), and they work p

Sometimes I wonder if all of these leftist meme groups popping up (or leftist memes in other groups) are propaganda put on by bad actors. If so, it seems to be working...

Man, this would be wild. What products would come out of this acquisition? Maybe they'd fully support crypto as a method of payment transfer to replace their Messenger Payments product. It's not clear if crypto would make their pa

I used to work at Ames in a facility a stone's throw from McMoon's (not singularity University hah). Heard that the guys who worked on this stuff in there were super crochety. I went over there once to check out some old aerospace

Man, the gig economy is getting pretty surreal. Wait until the food delivery guys get on electric longboards. YT from Snow Crash might be a relatable character for my kids...

It's an interesting question, whether or not the data is representative (or what demographic is the data representative of). Are there any studies done of the demographic distribution of Turkers?

Seconded. This book should be given to all EE undergraduates, it’s a shame how few people know about it.

Do you think that we'll be able to escape making this tradeoff in the future? I don't think it's unreasonable to think that sanitation and healthcare technology will advance to the point that they can be implemented in smalle
