Not quite. In order to lower the torque on a stepper motor you need to have the logic controlling the motor control the torque for every single step the motor takes and that can switch from low to high between two steps. You can ward against this either with continuously checking logic or the torque limiters Animats mentioned: https://www.mayr.com/en/products/torque-limiters

If the inception drive is set to low torque a second motor needs to actively set it to a higher torque, which you can guard against by cutting power to the second one while in low torque mode, and having mechanical interlocks that cut power entirely if the shape of the drive changes to a high torque configuration while it's supposed to be low torque. Neither of these require continuous logic.

Interesting, thanks for expanding. If you don't mind another question:

> a transmission that can downshift into a very high torque mode

I'm missing something here i guess, how is this different from a motor that can deliver full torque just because the logic chip is driving it at full power? Is it because the motor wouldn't be able to reach such high torque in the first place? (Which might be a point in favor of the transmission.)

How do you feel about his claim that this would be good for energy efficiency?

Or the claim that this would allow for easier human-safety by having the torque, if lowered, not be dependent on logic, but on the actual mechanics, making it possible to stop the entire system if a failure in the torque-change motor is detected?

I wonder what chat room means in this case. Does anyone in china use IRC?

Being anti-user isn't about providing an overwhelming value to all users of a product, but to make sure that no user ever gets stuck with no way out.

Opera v12 is a great example of that. There is no browser with its feature-set. In purely objective terms all other browsers are strictly inferior when it comes to usability and range of features outside the web rendering core. It also provides a number of data storage features. Now Opera ASA has given up on it, and because it's closed sourced not even small things like changing SSL ciphers can be fixed.

So millions of users were forced to switched to worse alternatives, and some were forced to manually extract their data.

The kick in the butt about this: There's a leak of the source code on the internet, but collaboration on it is nigh-impossible because any site hosting it is breaking copyright law. This despite Opera v12, with the Presto engine, being 100% and entirely abandoned and with the sale of the "Opera Browser" to a chinese malware company, there not even being any way for the public to know who actually owns the rights to v12.

The point you're missing, and what makes this funny, is that this is actually super rare. This isn't Call of Duty, you don't have children yelling random curse words at you while tea-bagging you. Voice comms in Eve is almost exclusively between allies you've been together with for a long time.

As such, things getting loud is always either extremely exceptional, or fitting and unsurprising to the context.

Both of these videos are accurate, and while the second one does happen, the former is the actual norm.

Arriving with "empty phone" has also caused refusal of permission to enter in the past.

This is unclear. Do you work for Youtube or Android?

E: This is a simple and earnest question. Why the downvotes?

Here's who would write it: A person sane and honest enough to realize how insane the proposition and their position is and who decides to state it to illustrate the point that they're completely out of options.

You're jumping to wild conclusions that say more about you than you're trying to say about him.

You're putting words into his mouth. Particularly the first one is not at all what he wrote.

He hasn't said that he will. He stated it is his only way, which can also be read sarcastically as "there is no way i can get paid".

In an ideal world, yes. In practice, in the USA? This is what your policy makers deem "good enough".

Because there's exactly three types of people in this equation:

1. Those without the prerequisites and means to access on education. (Think people with no internet.)

2. Those who are willing to consider the horror of this directly, if reminded of it.

3. Those who do not want to it to be real and refuse to educate themselves on their own accord because it would mean confronting a literal existential horror.

You're 3. as evidenced by the fact that you ask me for evidence when you could just google, and find pages like this immediately: https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/carbon-dioxide/

> I think it's very far from obvious

I have nothing left to say to you then that i haven't said above.

Two points: I asked why you think there are people here who don't believe in climate changing killing the planet right now, but you went down an orthogonal path; that second paragraph also veers way off track from the original context.

You're a nice person and try to be nice, but i will not acceed to giving the HN userbase that kind of coddling, because the people posting here are not average. Not about an issue of life death for the entire human race. You care about someone feeling sad. I care about whether children 2-3 generations down the line from now get to die a natural death. Do you think the former is more important than the latter?

If i thought anyone here needed convincing that climate change is already killing the planet, then your comment would be worthwhile. As it is i think there are only people here who close their eyes to it because they cannot handle staring that horror in the eyes every single day.

Can you substantiate why you think there are people here who need convincing, as opposed to reminding?

(Also, quite frankly, you seem to write as if you yourself think 'it is only a theory' instead of it being cruelly real and deadly fact. Is this the case?)

> 1. He harmed her emotionally for life and ruined her spotless record.

Almost right. Her spotless record is still spotless. As for the emotional harm, he may have had to balance that against the harm done to his family if he were to lose his job. If the USA had a proper and useful social safety net that equation would look different.

> 2.

Good, then you should at least care about this information being spread.

It's a comparison you made and it's a silly argument to try because it moves the conversation away from the context it was in.

The person who's a bit warm does not deserve nor need condolences, instead they and the person tempted to send the condolences should see it as a wake-up call.

The storm flood victim doesn't need a wake-up call. They had theirs. And they probably also don't care about "thoughts and prayers" when their very life is at stake. They're not in a soccer match where the audience cheering actually does anything for them.

Pretty sure the first thought of all of those who are of fully able mind in that group is "fuck the white house".

That said, no, because these people are in extraordinary circumstances and don't have time to calmly sit down and think things through rationally. (Comparing storm flood victims with people who're a bit warm is a bit silly.)

This isn't political, this is about a country dragging the rest of the world along into death, and then commiserating itself not about how bad its own actions are, but about how bad the death feels.

Condolences?

As citizens of the largest industrial nation whose president not only doesn't believe in climate change, but is even working actively to bury it: You don't get condolences, you get to apologize to the rest of the world and realize that you too need to work on fixing this.

1. False equivalence. He did not kill the nurse.

2. Do you really want this to go ignored and for the instigator of the issue to go free?

It is important to note that the police officer arrested her because his supervisor ordered him to do so if she refuses.

Due to that it is possible that the officer, seeing his job threatened, did not feel he had another choice.

Source of this information: http://www.sltrib.com/news/2017/08/31/utah-nurse-arrested-af... - "Payne [...] said he was advised by Lt. James Tracy, the watch commander on duty that night, to arrest Wubbels for interfering with a police investigation if she refused to let him get the sample [...]"

Pretty sad that the washington post would fail to report such a crucial detail.

Is this thing only for cars, or can you use it as a general battery for other things in the house?

Right, i wasn't entirely clear on what the implications of this are.

You said they have a good track record.

The current context of the thread is the revival of a game series 12 years after its last entry. This means they'll need to do a vast amount of work in updating both the graphics and the gameplay in order to produce a worthwhile successor. (Note worthwhile and good are not the same. It's entirely possible to make a good game that won't be worthwhile for a large portion of the possible audience.)

One of the examples you cite towards their track records is a game that had success, but was built in a completely different way from what they do now. (Immediately after the inspiration thus not requiring a leap in graphics; and gameplay-wise with a smaller feature set.)

Thus it doesn't seem to me that Company of Heroes is a particularly useful indicator for what they'll do with AoE 4.

(Edit: Also, tbh, due to what S:HOWW2 is (in simple terms, multiple games combined), the decisions of which parts to keep were trivial. I don't want to go into detail here as the post is already big enough, but i recommend investigation of the details.)

Company of Heroes wasn't even really their own merit. They copied a russian game series (Soldiers: Heroes of World War 2) and simplified the gameplay.

I'm not saying she wasn't, i'm just saying that neither they nor you can tell whether she actually was. Just that she seemed to be it. Maybe she was the best one, maybe appearances weren't quite that, maybe there were candidates they didn't recognize despite them being better. There are many options. Claiming she actually and factually was the best one is just overconfident though.

And yes, they may have said "she is the best", but that doesn't mean they actually got that right.

> "she was the best person"

No, based on the evidence she seemed to be the best person.

I don't have much of an opinion on what exactly happened, but your claim there is overly confident.

That could be likely to happen if the lolicon art were remotely realistic. I talk to artists a lot and see a lot of different art float by in their media feeds, and the lolicon stuff is almost always extremely stylized ot the point that they're entirely fantasy creatures with only a passing resemblance to humans. At the same time there's still a visceral shock to seeing the occasional rare picture where the characters actually look like human children.

I love that he dumps on the art style of the games after MI2. That was the main reason why i never touched any of those.
