Ok, it goes to existing retina, not substituting but adding some input signal gain, am I correct?

So there is still no "interface" to connect to an optical nerve directly for people who do not have functional retina...

Thank you! Do you know how does it connect hardware to a "wetware"? "Just plug the nerve into this socket"?

ELI5 anyone? Is this an artificial retina that so many people would benefit from? If so, does it connect to an optical nerve?

I think sea ships have less lifetime than these frames... I guess designers of B52 did a hella good job. Akin Nasa folks who have sent Mars rover "for just a couple months" :)

What does "36 bits of work" mean, sorry?

Good to hear! Hopefully they enforce it somehow, and the trend will continue.

Thank you. I guess it is a good start. But, as a solution - develop new protocols and standards, and declare that military does not buy _anything_ that does not interoperate on these standards, no matter how advanced your shit is?

B52 is even older, and still kicking (I think...)

Please forgive my ignorance of military processes involved.

Could that be addressed by old software trick of modularising components - software and hardware-alike - and rely on some extensive semi-open protocols to connect these? I think car manufacturers have faced that at some time in the past, even inside single manufacturer (not sure if they have solved it completely). Sounds like they need Ada-like project, but for hardware side.

Can we ask them not to do it somehow?

The numbers on a paper itself are much lower, so I would say it is a worthy idea. If not for "whole" kernel, then at least for the calls that they have replaced.

A bit meta

Please, lets not make this board a trading chat, or a mirror of reddit's boards?

Well, if this unit was making constant money over 16 years (directly and indirectly), and have paid for itself already, it is not a bad move.

> Night-time temperatures can drop to -900C

wait, what?

They probably going to remove this restriction as part of payable services.

So, the same idea that is https://sneakemail.com ?

(happy user for like 12 years?)

it is more like big media needs to be broken up there...

...and it probably means I would fail the test...

thank you!

Would you be kind and explain this joke please?

By reading the description of these tasks on https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/89-555-x/2013001/t/tbl1.... it feels like it is more of a intelligence test then just straight literacy one.

I don't remember ever seeing WRT54G above $80, and I bought both of mine for $69 and $59 I think. What time period are referring to ?

I would continue to buy their newer routers if they have open firmware a la WRT54G. New wifi standards came out, had to install routers for friends and family, and WRT54G itself kind of died after 3 or 4 years... (I bought a second one, but by then N standard was up and running, so 3rd was not Linksys)

> Apple should be losing devs in favor of other better platforms, not the other way around.

So far, good hardware, close-to-*ix-OS software, and penetration are kind of make them a hard competitor to beat.

What other "better" platforms are you thinking about?

I may be paranoid, and thus don't get why the downvotes?

  1. The person specified he has a wife that chats with members of Congress out of usual channels of communications.
  2. The person specified place where it happens in the open.

How hard for some non-friendly party to get there directly given the instructions above, or start tracking his wife through other means and get there through her?

This is not the information for a public forum, sorry.

Weight of what it can carry might be an important factor.

It is unfortunate, but - Internet have started as an ARPA project. First rockets to space started with military funding.

Question is... what are current goals of Boston Dynamics? Do they even see these robots used for non-military widely used scenarios - construction, medical care, first-responders etc? Are these things even possible for the things where cost is an important factor (unlike military, where cost is not that important)?

I have never heard of this company before, not sure if I want to now.

Mark Z participating in these riots would be HN-worthy.

Thank you very much. So we are talking about doubling (or halving, depending what side you are looking from) the access times.
