Moaning? You wouldn't know moaning if it were up your ass kicking field goals. I was complaining about the specific nature of this government activity, not issuing a sermon against the concept of government. You should see a doctor about that knee. I think they can offer you some sort of treatment to help you stop jerking it.

There's no shortage of those yet but they're really nice controllers as-is, they have a zillion purposes without being cannibalized. And these days you can buy controller parts for a song, so it would be nice to see the design adapted to use some readily available controller replacement parts instead. It would cost only a few bucks more, even assuming a free SNES controller.

Less the number of people who are discouraged from creating a job by regulations bought and paid for by big business and/or unions specifically to stifle competition.

I see why you didn't log in.

Reading comprehension, you fail it. The government gets the blame for being the processed food industry's whore, and every other industry's as well — but that is outside the scope of this conversation.

I don't.

Surely it would be a simple matter of causing it to comment on its observations, rather than conclusions.

Who is this 'everyone'? Seems like mostly people incapable of contributing to such an effort. And you can't use dart right now without compiling to javascript anyway, so you can only half-use it. This is just based on what's there already, and if it's used, then presumably people will spend effort accelerating it.

Sure, big stuff. Either a trailer gets dropped off for a time, a massive pallet is invented, or a standard for crane attachment is developed.

...driven by the exhaust of military jets built [and/or made up of parts made] by the same contractors who build stuff for NASA.

You know, $BIGSITE

Holy crap, that's about the simplest thing that does something slick like that I've ever seen. And if you get on eBay you get many fat pictures that show you precisely how they're put together.

They're all moving violations with associated penalties if prosecuted. They could all reasonably be considered "incidents". The only thing that prevented them from becoming collisions was probably defensive driving on the part of others.

holy shit. 1% of us wasting our lives doing a job that a train could do at least 50% of the time. land of the free, indeed.

Well, we do have the technology. We could have pallets with big fat QR codes slapped on the side (and by "big fat" I mean three inches or so) and robotic pallet jacks unloading the trucks, or trailers with floors that would shove pallets out the back of the truck automatically, and trucks loaded in proper order for that to make sense. For stuff that's delivered by the truckload, a whole trailer or shipping container could be unloaded and just dropped off to be dealt with by someone other than the trucker entirely.

If the dolly is robotic and it controls the lift gate, then it not only will go quicker than if you're involved (don't need any room for you in the system) but it can use an optimizer to determine what order in which to shift pallets if they aren't in proper order. So can a relatively intelligent human, of course, but what percentage of people shifting pallets are that? Obviously some...

Horseshit, and also horseshit.

Yep.

What do you think they were capturing there? I'd imagine it to be pretty much the same information. They just want to know what you're reading.
