How will this improve the global average of air quality? If you are removing the CO2 from the air then reintroducing it back into the same environment (assuming it is not repurposed in another sector e.g. jet fuel, commercial containers) wont the net effect be the same?

I understand this will concentrate the pollution significantly and may even reduce it in the short term, but wont the average effects be the same?

Except that will only work for gasoline cars and wont happen for the next 10-15 years. It seems like this guys bet (per the other thread) is that commercial gasoline for cars is the starting point, but they want to move into jet fuel, container ships, and making the basic gasoline/oil that goes into plastics.

Considering there is no commercially available electric passenger aircraft on the horizon (as of now) and that commercial containers are unlikely to convert that seems like a solid market to go after.

That sounds like a particularly interesting answer, but I wonder what the power and factory requirements would be to have something like this at a FOB or base?

Surely most operating bases use gas powered generators to run and not solar right?

In the lab I work in we have internal tools for doing something like this for precision agriculture, but I have never heard of an open source solution. UAVs generally don't record their orientation or GPS data without setting up a separate log file (I have no idea how you do this on Pixhawks. We use BYU's autopilot or our own autopilot).

Compared to Volve this is still far better. I'm just worried it'll be all seismics, RMS projects, and .segy files. We're working on a solution for ingestion of well reports/logs with the Volve reservoir but have precious little examples from the Volve field itself. Here's to hoping this dataset is better!

Interesting that this follows the Equinor release last June. We've been working on analyzing the Volve Reservoir data, but the data ingestion is getting very difficult because of the non-standard documents and data types in the repository. Should be interesting to see if the UK's data will be the same.

I'm really struggling with how to structure this kind of video from a college student's (although with only one semester left) perspective. I've worked at a lot of different companies and have two or three "dream" projects, but as for what I'm working on right now? Does literature review count? Or relevant experience? I realize that people like me are not necessarily the target audience, but it still leaves me wondering if there is a perhaps a better way for me to frame my current experience and work into this kind of format.

What I would wonder is how long of a staying power does this kind of relief have?

If I build a missile factory in Baghdad, Mississippi that runs for 20 years then is closed won't the same problem persist as before the missile factory was created?

I think your point that free trade is the problem is fairly evident in this kind of problem, however, I am not sure that spending on things such as military producers or even national infrastructure is a long-term solution. In the end the project always ends, the product stops being produced, and times change.

Is this just delaying the eventual wealth-death of a town/state or does this lead to a self-sufficient system?

And even if you do want to call it "bureaucratically neutered" travesties like the Challenger disaster explain why the bureaucracy is necessary.

I think there are a lot of good points being made, but you guys may be caught up in the math and are forgetting something fairly simple.

Sex is free, fun, and easy. The less education you have the less likely you are to understand effective birth control. The less wealthy you are the less you have to spend on contraception. Those things together with the easiest and cheapest form of entertainment would seem to cirrelate with a higher birthrate in lower income brackets.

I cant find any studies that support what Im saying right now, but the logic holds.

And it doesn't even work! I took the toll a few months ago because I needed to head North for a meeting, but the thing was moving slower than actual traffic from all the people merging/leaving it.

The construction lobby strikes again I guess...

Has there ever been a study of the gamification of city building? Or rather the results thereof?

E.g. give a simulator the current population and layout of NYC with the current influx of people with a budget and see what the results are? It would be fascinating to see people try and "beat" the high scores on different cities (i.e. Austin would be an easy level, Boston harder, and NYC the hardest level, etc.). Then we could collate what worked and what didn't without dumb projects like the Mopac Expressway.

Either way I'd play that game.

The issue with the AoE is the lack of practice problems and references when questions arise. For instance it's MOS and BJT parts glaze over how multi-stage amplifiers chain together and how the choice of one can effect the later (e.g. how your buffer effects source-follower).

Theory is good, but seeing how the implementation works is just as important and the AoE can glance over that because it's a sort of book of everything.

In short, it's a great reference manual and I have to sasy it's my favourite thing to start any question I have with, but for a beginner they need something that allows them to practice not just read about it.

But how much does that generation cost?

Nordic?

What's really fascinating is hearing about people that work there now that used to work with them in the early stages. I talked to a dude who was in charge of a database tool called Tango back in the day who was worried they wouldn't be able to make the yearly license cost and now he works for them.

Technology only grows more fascinating as the titans rise and fall.

I was implying that it would make an interesting academic paper.

One of the most truly fascinating things I learned from my father was how early 1980s word processors were designed for the magazine he worked for. The different ways to handle fonts, screen placement, and how to include data from a local database.

It was truly an awakening to the hidden wonders of the world.

Doing some basic image processing and tracking customers flow through the store would be fascinating.

You could categorize what people are shopping for, how long, and what buying one item tends to mean for the rest of their shopping cart.

I'd read that paper!

Does the fact that there is aluminum inside of the ceramic mean that it has a higher conductance? I couldn't find a reference online (there seems to be a few papers over the conductance of two very thin plates of AL203, but no characterization)

Do you ever take on interns?

You're definitely right, but 200 excess calories a day is 74,000 a year which can translate to 21 lbs a year in weight gain. It doesn't take much to get fat over a few years with a calorie surplus like that.

I'm going to bet Facebook is bigger and everyone uses it and CA is based in the UK and not in the US. Who the hell even knew Cambridge Analytica before any of this?

It's fun to hate big companies with recognizable names and blame that big company for electing someone that Americans are increasingly displeased with.

Anything that is tracking an object moving on the road should be looking at the velocity of the scanned object as well as keeping track of some sort of difference from normal. I would think the car should know it's on a two lane one way road, realized an object was moving in one lane with some sort of velocity towards the path of the vehicle, and that perhaps something was not normal.

From the reports of cars running red lights and then this I would imagine they have an extremely high level of "risk" (what it takes for the car to take actions in order to avoid something/stop) that is acceptable.

What would be far worse than a hardware or sensor failure would be to learn that Uber is instead teaching its cabs to fly through the streets with abandon. Instead of having cars that drive like a nice, thoughtful citizen we'll have a bunch of vehicles zooming through the streets like a pissed of cabby in Russia.

No problem!

I'm sure Dr. Cummings would be more than happy to talk about issues facing validation and verification in the context of NHTSA/FAA.

I've got a working theory that the problem isn't necessarily just in how we've changed eating, but in what we do in our free time.

I don't know about your parents, but when I look at what was done for free time when my grandparents(born ~1930s) and my parents (born in the 1950s) did in their free time vs what my friends and I did I can't help but see a significant difference in the time spent active. I'm not just talking about going out to ride a bike/play basketball with my friends, but later in life. When my grandfather went to work, school, and even to a bar he always walked and my father had a similar relationship with mobility during his early to teen years. Of course that changed when they both were old enough to own a car, but for both of them that wasn't until they're late teens.

Combine that with the only entertainment being other places or outside you have a populace who expends significantly more calories every day than my generation (Millenial).

As time progresses I think you might see parents from the earlier generations feeding their kids at the level they were fed as kids not recognizing that little Billy watches youtube for 3 hours after finishing his homework instead of going and playing basketball with Tuk-Tuk leading to a daily calorie surplus. Over time a daily intake of +200 calories can easily add up to a significant amount of weight.

I don't have any data to support this other than my anecdotal story and how I approached weight loss (by decreasing intake and increasing passive/everyday calory burn rate), but I think it'd be a cool thing to see studied.

While that may be true for regulations/ethics related appearances, this is not true for things such as funding. For example both Elon Musk and Bruno have gone before congress multiple times to discuss private space programs/ contracts and to justify their cases. Admittedly Elon did send Gwynne Shotwell several times but she is still the COO of the company.

More accurately there is risk in talking to the US congress when the topic sounds more like an inquisition than when congress is asking for opinions.

The matter then is why is it a risk for Facebook to discuss the CA issue? Are they worried about a witch hunt or a public ethics execution?

This might be an idiot answer, but have you checked your local makerspace? Or contacted someone at a university?

Last year a few of my classmates did an "Aggie Challenge" where they designed something for a private party in exchange for some mentorship and a resume bullet.

We usually do small projects for professors/companies that need help with something simple (like a CAD model/Design).

Have you looked at GroupMe? It has the ability to do all the "Social Planning" you need and you don't even need the app to participate in it.

I know it's more common with younger people (at my university there's not a single undergrad who doesn't have it on their phone), but I know some actual adults use it too.

Dr. Mary Cummings has been working on talking to NHTSA about implementing V and V for autopilots/AI in unmanned vehicles for a few years now. She's also been compiling a dataset exactly like what you are talking about.

I think the idea is to build a "Traincar of Reasonability" to test future autonomous vehicles with.
