The minibus can be fully recharged in fifteen minutes, unlike battery vehicles, which typically takes hours to recharge. Update 15: How to Make UAVs Fully Autonomous . The Sense-and-Avoid system uses a four-megapixel camera on a pan tilt to detect obstacles from the ground. It puts red boxes around planes and birds, and blue boxes around movement that it determines is not an obstacle (e.g., dust on the lens).

4 In Our Cars We Feel Good Because We Are in Control Solving the mystery of why we feel satisfied while stuck in traffic turns on an important psychological clue: the more we perceive ourselves in control of a situation the less stress we feel . [sent-75, score-0.645]
5 Our Mass Transit System Must Supply Perceived Control Given the warm inner glow we feel from being wrapped in the cold steel of our cars, if you want people to get out of their cars and onto mass transit you must provide the same level of perceived control. [sent-91, score-1.38]
6 Unless a system could be devised that provided the benefits of mass transit plus the pleasing characteristics of control our cars give us. [sent-96, score-1.286]
7 With Recent Technological Advances We Can Create a New Type of Mass Transit System New technologies are being developed the will allow us to create a mass transit system that matches our psychological and physical needs. [sent-97, score-0.741]

Introduction: Imagine if you will that car rental agencies rented cars like programmers are hired at many software companies... Agency : So sorry you had to wait in the reception area for an hour. Nobody knew you were coming to today. I finally found 8 people to interview before we can rent you a car. If we like you you may have to come in for another round of interviews tomorrow because our manager isn't in today. I didn't have a chance to read your application, so I'll just start with a question. What car do you drive today? Applicant : I drive a 2008 Subaru. Agency : That's a shame. We don't have a Subaru to rent you. Applicant : That's OK. Any car will do. Agency : No, we can only take on clients who know how to drive the cars we stock. We find it's safer that way. There are so many little differences between cars, we just don't want to take a chance. Applicant : I have a drivers license. I know how to drive. I've been driving all kinds of cars for 15 years, I am sure I can adapt.

A developer accidently caused some ELB data to be deleted. It's interesting to consider this incident in the context of resiliency and DevOps. Developers working on production, considered good, we should be full stack, models should be open, etc. Yet Amazon is responding by closing down production systems, just like the bad old days. Couldn't we have our cake and eat it too if the data was backed up and could have been restored quickly?

2 0.86506128 1410 high scalability-2013-02-20-Smart Companies Fail Because they Do Everything Right - Staying Alive to Scale
Introduction: Wired has a wonderful interview with Clayton Christensen , author of the tech ninja's bible, Innovator's Dilemma . Innovation is the name of the game in Silicon Valley and if you want to understand the rules of the game this article is a quick and clear way of learning. Everything is simply explained with compelling examples by the man himself. Just as every empire has fallen, every organization is open to disruption. It's the human condition to become comfortable and discount potential dangers. It takes a great deal of mindfulness to outwit and outlast the human condition. If you want to be the disruptor and avoid being the disruptee, this is good stuff. He also talks about his new book, The Capitalist's Dilemma , which addresses this puzzle: if corporations are doing so well why are individuals doing so bad? If someone can help you see a deep meaningful pattern in life then they haven't brought you a fish, they've taught you how to fish. That's what Christensen does. Here'

Introduction: Update : Organism without a brain creates external memories for navigation shows slime mold is even cooler than originally thought, storing a record of where it's been using slime: The authors conclude, the slime isn't just the mold's calling card. Instead, it's a way of marking the environment so that the organism can sense where it's been, and not expend effort on searches that won't pay off. Although the situation isn't an exact parallel, the authors make a comparison to the pheromone trails used by ants. In After Life: The Strange Science Of Decay there’s a truly incredible sequence of gorgeously shot video showing how creeping slime mold solves mazes and performs other other amazing feats of computation. Take a look at what simple one celled organisms can do: The whole video is really well done and shockingly revelatory.

Introduction: Gordon Ramsay is a world renowned chef with a surprising amount to say on software development. Well, he says it about cooking and running a restaurant, but it applies to software development too. You may have seen Gordon Ramsay on one of his many TV shows. Hell's Kitchen is a competition between chefs trying to win a dream job: head chef of their own high-end restaurant. On this show Ramsay is judge, jury, and executioner. And he chops off more than a few heads. Kitchen Nightmares is a show where Ramsay is called in by restaurant owners to help turn around their failing restaurants. On this show Ramsay is there to help. If you just watch Hell's Kitchen you will likely conclude Ramsay is one of the devil's own helpers ("ram" is the symbol of the devil and "say" means he speaks for the devil: Ramsay). Ramsay screams, yells, cusses, belittles, and throws tantrums even a 7 year old could learn from. Then he does it all over gain just for spite. In Hell's Kitchen there's no evidence a

Introduction: I try to keep this blog targeted and on topic. So even though I may be thankful for the song of the tinniest sparrow at sunrise , I'll save you from all that. It's hard to tie scalability and the giving of thanks together, especially as it sometimes occurs to me that this blog may be a self-indulgent waste of time. But I think I found a sentiment in A New THEORY of AWESOMENESS and MIRACLES by James Bridle that manages to marry the topic of this blog and giving thanks meaningfully together: I distrust commercial definitions of innovation, and particularly of awesomeness. It’s an overused term. When I think of awesomeness, I want something awe-inspiring, vast and mind-expanding. So I started thinking about things that I think are awesome, or miraculous, and for me, it kept coming back to scale and complexity. We’re not actually very good about thinking about scale and complexity in real terms, so we have to use metaphors and examples. Douglas Adams writes s
