  • Nah, you can’t beat the power density of hydraulics and never will unless room temp superconductors become a thing.

    Big Dog from Boston Dynamic was hydraulic.

    Going that size or bigger, hydraulics is a must.

    The reason you don’t see it is hydraulics is a completely different ball game.

    Controls researchers stick with small and electronic, because that’s what they know.

    It’s very rare to find a controls engineer that understands hydraulics.

    And the hydraulics experts out there, don’t have the background for sophisticated control theory.




  • I guess you missed the point.

    Yes, we can all certainly say that’s too long.

    But carry that thought farther as I explained.

    If you are going to make someone legally responsible for something like this, you need to draw a line where it is.
    So where do you draw that line?

    You reasonable can not, and that is because the premise that Google should be responsible for such a thing is ridiculous.

    This case is just a standard US justice system where they just ‘Sue everyone’ and see where the chips fall.


  • Yeah, how’s it Google’s fault that there were no signs? blocks? etc.

    9 years is excessive? sure maybe.

    But bridge collapse that evening while approaching it? Google’s Fault? No…

    So where do you draw that line where it’s Google’s Fault?

    1 day? 1 month? 1 year?

    Yeah, you can’t reasonable put a timeline on something like that.

    What happens if it was found out dude used an old paper map? Gonna sue that map company too?

    Just because Google has the ability to update maps quicker than old paper, doesn’t mean they are suddenly obligated to.


  • What OS do you plan on using?

    I’d like to do a really basic NAS build which is just a PC with 2 drives in RAID 1, and some room to run a few services in the future.

    • dedicated game servers
    • Home Automation service
    • far future - old GPU to run a local AI

    I’m assuming some kind of Linux-Based OS, but I’m not sure which one to go with that would be easy for a Linux Novice.
