I had the pleasure of meeting Andrew during the height of the 3D Robotics days, and spending time pair-programming with him on a GPS Driver for ArduPilot. It was incredible to see …

Don't bring the finished product to the site, bring the manufacturing capabilities and raw materials to the site.

You're painting an unfairly one-sided picture here, as so many pro-psychedelic people do. These are highly potent chemicals that also have negative physical and psychological effec…

Great comment! Indeed there is a recent Nature paper that's causing a lot of discussion that is investigating that missing link between the physics of matter and the emergence of t…

this is a pretty silly fluff piece.

Thank you for this, this is awesome. You shared a long, challenging, and deeply personal experience with candor and empathy. Well done! I grew up in an agricultural area and everyo…

Ah, tailsitters. Everyone loves the theory, then the practical realities of the takeoff position exposing the entire wing surface to the prevailing wind quickly kills real-world ap…

Lots of denial and sarcasm in the comments here. A person close to me had many of the experiences described in this, including the psychotic episodes that I had to help them throug…

There’s a pandemic that forced everyone inside and remote. Computer companies does great. End of story.

Do you have any experience with the stuff you’re making such bold statements about, because I have; and my god did you oversimplify things.

The article title is still misleading. The sensor fusion was the root cause of the malfunction, it was not the advanced control technique that was deployed to survive the anomaly.

I see no mention of "advanced control techniques"? Sounds like there is just a limit on roll/pitch angles and a limit on distance applied. Saying "advanced control techniques [for …

The single benefit of Uber having a global presence likely already outweighs the value of these local coops. You can get off an airplane just about anywhere in the world and get an…

These are different efforts from ATG, the self-driving car division.

There are two ways to compensate with stock: purchasing stock on the open market with cash, or, hand out stock from a pool of withheld shares. The pool of shares might be periodica…

This is out of date and not representative of current Uber business. Keep in mind Slack did not exist for several years after Uber was founded. Also, today all of Uber uses Slack, …
