I see all these articles about gender bias in the IT industry.
Then I scroll down to the comment section on the slashdot mobile site and think "yes, that character in the Game of War app has really big boobs"

Dr Walter Bishop has a new job in Sleepy Hollow

It's your room service order. One less minimum wage employee be rude to your customers. I've also never been in a hotel where there is an elevator to every room.

Don't worry, the new design will add a tip jar.

From parent post:

From your link:

Without the automatic garage door opening, a human would have to open it.
Same goes for electric gates as well.

I have a robot in my kitchen that washes dishes and one in the laundry that washes clothes.

It attenuates the shock wave from an nearby explosion. There is no force involved. It absorbs the energy of the shock wave. That's the thing that turns your internal organs in to liquid. Suspiciously useful in combat. Like when you're driving down the road and an IED goes off. The vehicle armor stops most of the shrapnel but your people inside are dead anyway. If the armor doesn't have to be hit with the shock wave first, before being hit by shrapnel, it has a better chance of stopping it too.

Like an R2 unit?

Except the aren't creating a shock wave to counter the incoming wave. They're changing the density, pressure or composition of the medium (air or water) the shock wave is going to pass through, attenuating it.

Have a read of the summary in the patent.

Countering a shock wave with a generated one would be horribly complex. You'd need to measure the wave first or risk amplifying it further. You'd need to generate it at in the exact same time and place you want to counter it, or your own shock wave is going to hit you with the same force as the one you're trying to stop. A tiny error in timing will see twice the damage inflicted on yourself - like the current humidity, air temperature and pressure - all things that contribute to the velocity of the shock wave.

I'd assume you don't need stealth technology when you're at the point of deflecting enemy fire. They obviously already know where you are.

Complex software should be banned! Like the stuff that flies all the commercial aeroplanes and runs the nuclear reactors.

Perhaps the $1 goes in to the "customer got raped and is trying to sue us" insurance fund.

Your rooms get underfloor heating and TV as well.
Our prisons have better living conditions than some peoples houses.

And bring encrypted information to a country that requires you to unencrypt it when you enter is no different that taking it in plain text.

That, or risk being refused entry.

What right to unhindered travel?
Since when was anyone allowed to enter any country they liked and not comply with local laws?

Congratulation, you just described all modern Airbus commercial aeroplanes after the A320 and the Boeing 777. They're also fly-by-computer
