The Robots are coming for Washington State Apples
It looks like it really tears up the leaves with that vacuum hose. I also wonder if it's intelligent enough to identify rotten apples and not bin them with the good ones.
Ferry Vs. Container Crane
Apparently the result of strong winds, the port authority asking the ship to move to a more sheltered area of the harbor, and tug boats not being available to assist.

Aquaman - Official Trailer 1
Unknowingly of noble birth, receives a call to action, is the only one who can save the day, blah blah blah. It might be an exciting movie if you've never seen an epic before. In other words, bring the kids.
Don't bring a snowball to a water fight
It's pretty funny until they realize they've covered a sidewalk in ice. Good way to get a public servant fired...
Sumo Robot Wrestling
I enjoyed the strategy employed at 4:06 myself. If only it had detonated at the right moment...
Greenhouses of the Future, Growing Food Without Soil
Really, they put concentrated Gatorade on their crops? Huh, it must have what plants crave.
Honest Ads - Why Credit Cards Are A Scam
Huh, I only charge things that I have the cash to pay for by the next billing cycle. Easy, and the cash back actually works for me. I don't understand using a credit card at 25% interest as a long-term financing prospect, especially when you can get a loan at 4%.
Tesla Predicts a 2 Car Crash Ahead of Driver
Tesla enthusiast here. The Tesla vehicle is able to use its front-mounted radar to track one car beyond the car in front of it. How does it do this? It bounces the radar signal off the street underneath the first car. In this case the Tesla could determine the position and velocity of two vehicles in front of it and it predicted a collision, sounded the alarm, and applied the brakes.
So no, it's not that the cameras are tracking objects through another vehicle's windows (at least not yet). Radar can also see though zero-visibility conditions like snow and fog.
Satanist leads prayer at Pensacola council meeting
When I was younger and indoctrinated into that Baptist church I always though Satanists were simply worshippers of death and misery and evil. That's what the members of the church taught me. But this is a beautiful thing. It's nothing more than a commentary on the dangers of arbitrary power invoked by religion.
I just wish I had the powers of critical thinking when I was younger. Although, really I just wanted to be in the church because there were cool girls there and I wanted to fit in so they'd like me.
How to make a fire with a lemon
But there's no insulator between the cells. Why wouldn't the electricity just flow freely between the pins through the interior of the lemon?
I don't think you can increase the voltage of an AA battery by creating extra terminals, which is essentially what he's doing here...
Life-like Star Wars Battlefront Rendering
Mark my words:
VR's going to be a helluva drug.
Limmy's Show - steel vs feathers
So if she weighs the same as a block of steel...
...then she's made of feathers?
Parents Try To Prank Son - Backfire
Hey kid, it's OK to feel this way. I've always wondered what a broccoli farm looks like too. I'm already inundated with cute animal videos online anyway.
The Trouble with Transporters
There have been many things in history that have been thought to have been impossible. Neil deGrasse Tyson's presentation on "The God of the Gaps" is a great video addressing that line of thought.
However, that point may not even matter. My hypothesis is that our neurons don't operate all the way down to a sub-atomic or electron-spin level of granularity. There's plenty of complexity at the molecular and cellular scales. We're likely chemical and physical reactions like Newtboy says.
Except that you can't know all the properties of those atoms all at once. The Uncertainty Principle shows there is a fundamental limit to what we can know about particles. An exact replication would be impossible.
The Trouble with Transporters
The first time this will probably come into consideration in the real world is consciousness uploading. It's not far fetched that we will eventually have the technology to take a snapshot of all of the atoms in our bodies and simulate that arrangement on a computer of some sort.
It would be exactly like your consciousness if it's simulated with 100% accuracy. And again, who can say that we'll never get to that point? But when your biological self dies, will you really be immortal if the original consciousness is destroyed?
