Re: Hyundai to acquire Boston Dynamics
#152This should be very interesting, I'm not clear on the relationships after their split but Hyundai has a huge reach across every sort of heavy industry you can think of. I found another article that says it is the motor division that is acquiring Boston Dynamics. I'm surprised the US allowed this, Boston Dynamics seems like the sort of company they would keep close to home. https://www.kedglobal.com/newsView/ked202012…
> I'm surprised the US allowed this, Boston Dynamics seems like the sort of company they would keep close to home. South Korea is a treaty ally with the US. The US has thousands of soldiers at bases in S. Korea. S. Korea is not a country the US has to worry about afaik. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_Defense_Treaty_(United_...
Wonder if China's gonna require any IP transfer?

What makes you think that Tesla would be able to do that, given their reputation of not being able to manufacture cars that don't fall apart immediately upon rolling off the factory line? They kinda have to be able to build cars in the first place in order to build them faster with more robots.
Any kind of company that can inspire these kind of comments is worth investing in I tally how many comments I run into randomly over the week and use that to determine how many more shares I should buy. Anything disruptive attracts this kind of attention and even if you don't think they will succeed it's hard to argue they are not disruptive.

Counterpoint: Hyundai is not government-run and it seems to be comfortable doing business with China. [0] Wonder if China's gonna require any IP transfer? [0] https://roboticsandautomationnews.com/2020/04/21/hgzn-and-hy...
That'll go over like a lead balloon in Korea even more than the west.

Stock market is real for the few privileged insiders, the rest of us have modest profits or even loses that pay for someone else's profits.
Silliness. The market is effectively a free money machine for people who are capable of delaying gratification. The fact that most people are not capable of this is not the fault of the market. And, for the record, the rich aren't getting better returns than the rest of us--the S&P beats the vast majority of Hedge Funds, year after year. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/15/active-fund-managers-trail-t...

BD robots could be easily defeated by a 50-cal bullet or an EMP or a sandstorm or merely by preventing them from recharging their batteries. Reality is not like the movies.
Uh oh. I don’t have access to any of those options. Where can I buy an EMP? Amazon?

"The market is effectively a free money machine" That's clearly an absurdity and not physically possible. Whatbwe do know is that every time we have QE 90% of the money ends up in financial markets, not real economy. This is a well known problem, and Yanis Varufakis has talked about it at length
And yet the market has averaged a 7% annual return since 1870.

What reason would there be to disallow it?
ITAR or even classified The robots are practically weapons. Imagine the 4-legged one chasing you down like a large cat could, then pouncing on you. Imagine the 2-legged one with armor, relentlessly stalking you like Terminator.
