Besides, Traveller is almost as old as D&D, d66 is an established norm, the fact that someone else hasn’t encountered it is not the norm’s fault.

And in many states if the seller doesn’t collect it then it is the buyer’s responsibility to pay it. There is a specific line on the NY State income tax form for it. But most States aren’t going to put the effort into hunting down someone for the small amounts on software purchases.

And to be clear I am talking about remotely operated robots, I don’t expect machine learning to be useful for this for at least another decade or more. I just want to improve the odds that my people go home safely at the end of their shift.

I can see uses for bipedal robots in hazmat response because so many industrial spaces are designed for humans. For instance I don’t see any way of getting a quadruped on top of a rail car. Of course right now once the it got up there it doesn’t have the strength or coordination to do anything.

Yes, as long as there is the option to buy either there is no issue. Also, getting distracted looking for a touch control while driving is a problem, while playing a game, not a big deal.

They have never looked at looked at what an office visit is billed for, let alone a “simple” ER visit. And forget about a chronic condition. I have really good health insurance through my employer and we still run about $2,000 a year in fairly low copays.

For the non-physics-nerds in the audience, that calories per second is a unit of energy over time means it is technically correct to state the nutritional value of cooking spray in horsepower. The cooking spray in my pantry is labelled 8 dietary calories/second, which works out to ~45 horsepower.

The thing is they already have. FEMA has set up Urban Search and Rescue Teams (USAR) all over the country. Most are staffed by career firefighters. FEMA bought standard equipment packages for them, pays travel expenses, pay their local department backfill overtime to maintain coverage).

Look if you’re still happy with state violence as long as it’s being used against people you deem undesirable (because they walked off the sidewalk) you’re really not very far at all from the thing you’re claiming to oppose. People calling for mass protests then doing this are really pissing me off.

I can see uses, like getting to the top of rail cars or tank trucks. And most current equipment designed to stop leaks are made to be applied by humans. I haven’t had an opportunity to try to use them with a quadruped with an arm so I am not sure which would work better.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

I can see applications were it would be useful, especially in places I wouldn't want to risk a person. I would pair one up with a Spot, with the Spot carrying sensors and the Atlas handling things like doors, turning valves, and other actions requiring manipulation.

As far as I am aware they are not for sale yet. They recently moved from the hydraulic version to the all servo motor version which was one of the final steps in Spot before they became available but no idea what the time line is.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Well-meaning adults can easily crush a child's enthusiasm for reading by dismissing their choices, saying a book is no good. By all means introduce them to books you think are good, but never forget: it's all reading & it's all good! Let them READ FOR PLEASURE & they'll be readers forever! #literacy
