Robot on a stick doesn't do alot. I speak from experience using a telepresence robot at work to interact with my boss. It's basically a walking tablet that can't really navigate because it's wrapped in a consumer toy grade vehicle system to meet price point. Just pay an intern to hold a phone up and walk around. I agree that telepresence is the future of remote work, and by work I mean physically moving atoms around not just using social media to exchange information. The trick is creating reliable and efficient robotic systems that are actually suitable to the types of work needed. Thats not so easy and why I work in robotics. Lots of problems to solve.

Let's be real. It wouldn't be that surprising given how the world actually works. Assuming you aren't an oligarch.

Surprisingly progressive. This is because they don't have debtors prison?

Hey just a reminder the state is here to control you and protect property nothing more nothing less.

Lets just say "problem solvers" and avoid the semantics. Problem solving is abstract reasoning. It requires flow state.

Yeah. Feminism. Thrasher's bro boarding King of Road machismo is going to get old really fast. The moment someone starts a feminism skate mag I'll be all about it.

I'm really excited about Godot. I started using it and saw the limits of the 3d stuff that is there right now but I'm excited to start using it when really good 3d animation libraries become available which seem to be lacking at the moment.

I agree, the Clathrate Gun is firing right now. So we're probably going on the Big Temperature Roller Coaster Ride anyway. So in that sense carbon neutral is probably okay in the long run if we all survive right?

I agree. This is clearly how science should be done for the benefit of humanity. Closed access journals are the "property is theft" of scholarship. Being able to read papers and engage directly with the material is how innovation will happen. If not SciHub then someone else. It was and is just too important of a service not to be the new status quou.

Do you think we asked the colleges to turn us into profit centers? College costs have gone up because bureuacracy has bloated. By the times undergrads figure it out it's too late. If you actually went to school to study and ended up in insane amounts of debt (like I did) you wish you hadn't gone even though you were happy to have learned what you did. It's a shitty double edged sword.

Not everyone can get scholarships and school isn't easy/cheap enough to make paying for it an option by working through school. Not if you want a real job after school.

Frankly it should be free. Why are you charging people to better themselves and their surroundings. It's obscene that we charge people for healthcare and schools.

The United States is a corporate neocon fantasy world. Low taxes for the rich, student loans for all.

I'm offended by your complaints. See how quickly this gets out of hand.

Oh man I forgot about Planetside 2! Super underrated, it came out in a huge FPS glut in the market. I dig huge combined arms stuff but man I used to die to snipers in that game so much haha.

Even specifies "Uber" Eats. That's a CEO right there.

Anybody who is interested in the numbers on this should checkout the work being done at drawdown.org. Afforestation is ranked #15 out of a list of solutions to reduce the carbon content of our atmosphere and reduce global warming. They have models and data if you want.

So every physical pen tester I know is a woman. Coincidence? Maybe....

I think a lot of the commentary on Juicero misses the real skeleton in the closet.

The product was designed to specifically to justify the business model of the DRM pulp packets and thus MRR for the purpose of revenue and growth. Everything about it looks like they designed the packets and juice pulp DRM features first, then backfilled the rest of the mechanical design to support the REAL features (keeping people buying your fruit packages) and not the FAKE features (juicing?).

Many people talk about the ring roller/ toothpaste squeezer method being easier. Of course! But how do you do DRM with that? It's trickier. How do you scan the barcode and also keep your customers from using off brand K-Cups, I'm sorry I mean, fruit pulp packets.

It's obvious for $800 they could have designed an amazing conventional juicer, which actually would be a better product. But how do you get monthly recurring revenue out of that and thus justification for raising millions in venture capitalist money?

Juicero is a great example of dark hardware design and a cautionary tail about the hubris of the "if you build it" risk management strategy.

I guess you like eating apples that taste like wood chips then. Organic is how farmers have been doing it for 10,000+ years of farming, the in-organic kind was invented in the last century by RoundUp and MiracleGro and friends. Pouring industrially produced chemicals into fields of neatly rowed (and erosion prone) staple monocrops is a recipe for failure and more dustbowls and global nutrient debt. Please don't sell organic farming down the river it's going to save us all.

"cultural appropriation" is a joke. Culture IS appropriation. That's how you GET culture, is to get it from somewhere....as if white people are supposed to not embrace other things outside of their so called ancestry, which is riddled with variety and "cultural appropriation". My Norse and Germanic ancestors loved appropriating cultures and I have the genes I have today because they grabbed shiny stuff they liked. Whiny normative lefties with too much to do.
