If you think it should be easy to recognize a stoplight, you haven't worked on computer vision.

It's hard to recognize the most basic objects, like cats. How our brain does it so easily remains a mystery.

You haven't even experienced Twitch chat yet.

Did you have to use the word "mancave" there? It sounds as if you are defining "gamer" to include only men.

You went a little overboard in that last sentence there.

Wow, Kojima is a creative dude. He created another portable game called Boktai that came with a solar sensor on the game cartridge. Parts of the game required actual sunlight.

Do you think there's life down there?

But vision is one of the hardest parts of robotics, and you don't want to have to write super sophisticated vision algorithms from scratch, so this is a good example of how ROS is useful. "Agricultural implement towed behind a tractor" + sophisticated computer vision = robot.

One solution to the Fermi paradox is that everyone is hiding.

And we should seriously consider hiding too.

Can you get into contracting if your specialty is scientific computing?

Is it possible, as a contractor, to work only part of the year?

If you read Noam Chomsky, you get the impression that our embargo on Cuba has been extraordinarily cruel.

So Google does something to promote science education, and you turn around and say, "Hey, focus on your profits."

Doesn't kinect have all the magnitude of a launch? And the Move also.

I'd like to make Hatsune Miku deliver video lectures for a calculus class. Can I do that?

Timez Attack looks amazing!

Am I doing something wrong? If I could try it out I'd probably recommend it for my cousins.

Now the vending machine just needs face recognition so it can base recommendations off of previous purchases...and who your facebook friends are.

And I want a badge saying I'm the "mayor" of a vending machine if I buy more sodas there than anyone else.

I want a virtual pet that I can buy virtual sodas for. He will gain experience points and armor and will battle other pets.
