In case the OP is genuinely ignorant of the difference: race is a psuedo-scientific category based on a person's skin color. For example a person could belong to the Latino ethnic group and yet appear to be white or black. Another case someone could be African American or Yoruba and yet both would be considered black, despite the major cultural differences.

It's actually quite easy to understand, given a sufficient understanding of human nature.

You're trying to dominate a social situation, because you think you are right (and by extensions, that there are others who will support you and strengthen your position) and because there's a lack of physical threat.

In the real world, you would not want to cause a ruckus, because there could be consequences, and your are not the dominant member of the group. For example; someone could punch you.

If you could, you would want to dominate any situation that you can. We are wired that way.

Motor guy here, not into quad copters though. Brushless motors with optimally tuned software can have higher efficiency which translates to longer battery life. The downside is you need 3 half-bridges to drive one. A brush motor spinning in one direction needs only a single low-side FET. The cost in transistors and software is significantly higher for brushless, but the efficiency gain is real. I'm not so sure about any dynamic performance benefit, you can do about the same with a brushed motor if you're willing to drive it with a full H-bridge.

I bought the ErgoChair 2 from Autonomous [1] for ~$200 after their suspended campaign on Kickstarter. The campaign was suspended because apparently they're just reselling it from some manufacturer in China [2]. I ended up buying the chair from Autonomous anyways for their North American warranty (that and I could never actually find a product website for the Chinese version they knocked off) and have been reasonably happy with it.

It's not quite as well designed and comfortable as an Aeron, and has a number of quirks, but considering the price difference I can live with the compromises. My major complaints are that the armrests are made of plastic and are adjustable but can't lock into place, and that the seat cushion has a strange scent that hasn't gone away in more than a year now (luckily it's not noticeable for me unless I put my nose right next to it, but the smell can get onto my pants and other clothes when in contact for a prolonged period of time, which has been highly annoying. I'll probably try to treat it with some baking soda before I leave for vacation next month and hope that'll take care of it).

I was doing a lot of research into office chairs at the time, and couldn't really find anything else that stroke a reasonable compromise between the crappy $100 department store chairs and the $800 high-end ergonomic chairs like the Aeron. Judging from the replies to this thread, there still doesn't seem to be much else that fits the niche, so I decided to chime in with this one, despite its shady backstory and imperfections.

> I wonder what they do once the robot sees the uranium? I mean the robot itself is now heavily contaminated.

Contamination isn't as dramatic as you'd think, it's mostly superficial : you have radioactive dust sticking on the robot, and you "just" need to wash it thoroughly to remove the contamination.

People usually have a wrong vision of radioactive contamination : they think being exposed to radiations makes you radioactive in return. In fact, it doesn't : being exposed to a radioactive material (which means you get struck by gamma rays, alpha and/or beta particles) doesn't make you radioactive. You can get contaminated with radioactive dust (which is a real problem if you ingest or inhale it, since it's hard to wash there) but you don't become radioactive yourself.

The mistake didn't appear out of nowhere though : things exposed to neutrons becomes radioactive (they become activated) and neutrons are emitted by nuclear fission, which occur in a exploding atomic bomb or a working nuclear plant. But when the plant shuts down, the chain reaction stops and so does the neutron emission. All that remain is radioactivity, as fission products keep decaying.

That being said, in practice I'm not sure the electronics in the robot is in a good enough shape to be used again …

Not generally like that in mug of Texas. Houston proper has some questionable roads — but that has been due to a series of mayors that are more interested in farmers markets and “pocket parks” than actually doing the dirty work of actually running a city. The state of Texas has great roads. Far better than anything you see in places like NY, NJ or other states with Byzantine labor agreements. I live in France now and the highways here in the south (such as the A7 are extremely good — and generally privately managed (our area is run by Da Vinci) while up near the Dijon area the roads get pretty bad by comparison (highways there are run by a different group,) while in Germany, I was generally unimpressed by the Autobahn — especially driving from Hamburg to Berlin. The southern French autoroutes are luxurious by comparison. Infrastructure in Paris is a bit decayed, especially the RER going to CDG airport, while the PATH train in the NYC area is actually really nice. Florida roads are generally really nice and historically, Louisiana roads were pretty bad — you noticed it immediately crossing from Texas — that was a result of years of the Feds denying federal funding for highways because Louisiana refused to be bullied into a 21 year old drinking age.

The Houston airport is nice — a lot of work done in the 1990s and a lot of renovation done recently funded by United Airlines. SFO is nice too. CDG in Paris is a shithole airport compared to Frankfurt and SFO and Houston. Heathrow seems pretty nice, at least Terminal 2 but they don’t compare to Seoul Incheon airport.

My point is that generalized statements about the American infrastructure aren’t generally fair since the US isn’t a monolithic organization — things vary widely due to local history. Heavily union places like NY and NJ generally have far worse infrastructure than places that aren’t so influenced by corrupt union “machine” politics. When labor bosses and the mafia have material control of infrastructure politics, you are going to have sluggish development. Another problem in New York is that’s you have seemingly dozens of agencies all stepping on each other: you have the City, the Port Authority, the states of NJ and New York, individual boroughs, multiple unions and then the Feds on top of that — and everyone in that chain has to get paid. It’s a mess.

That's an outrageously flawed thought process. Just because it's been that way for a very long time, doesn't mean it's a good thing and that it shouldn't be fixed.

The "Divide" in the US is Inner-City Schools and poor Rural Schools. If you look at the rest of America's schools they are among the best in the world. If you take just Massachusetts scores they one of the top 5 in the world. http://www.doe.mass.edu/news/news.aspx?id=24050

The big issue is how we fund schools. It is based on the value of your home divided by the number of children that lives in said homes. Since the richer you are the less children you have they get more money. http://www.economist.com/node/21561112

Until we take the funding of school's to the state level we can talk till we are blue in the face and we will continue to have a "Divide." I don't understand why the AARP and other groups don't jump on the bandwagon and remove the burden of school tax off the backs of fixed income home owners.

> Fukushima had 0 radiation deaths.

I think making that statement or even the comparison to other types of disasters is a little disingenuous. With most disasters they happen and then they're over in very short order. A nuclear disaster is very slow to unfold and the deaths from radiation related illnesses are not yet fully realized for quite some time.

The Chernobyl disaster is still unfolding and even with the latest containment, NSC, having been installed. It will take hundreds of years before we're done with it.

Brushed motors are around 75% efficient, brushless are around 90% efficient. This has two effects: obviously, you get more flight time from your battery with a more efficient motor, but that's not the main effect. The big one is that power output is limited by the combination of how much heat you can remove (which is roughly the same, perhaps 20W) and how efficient your motor is. With a 90% motor, your 20W of heat max means you can have 180W of thrust, while on a 75% motor the same 20W of heat only corresponds to 60W of thrust!

Brushless motors need some high-speed switching electronics to control the motor, swapping from one set of coils to the next at just the right frequency. Brushed motors are stupid easy - just connect two wires, and the voltage corresponds to torque (and thus speed). Any hobbyist could build a brushed controller in their sleep, but it takes a lot of dedication and engineering to design a brushless controller. Typically, this complexity is abstracted away from the end user in a prepackaged Electronic Speed Controller, but most micro quads integrate the ESCs on the control boards.

Brushless motors are more expensive than brushed motors. They're arguably less complex, but we've had many years to figure out how to build super cheap brushed motors, and can make them very small and very cheap.

In general, brushless motors are so much superior that you shouldn't even consider brushed motors in a quad (unless you need to hit a $19.99 price point), but do recall the cube-square law: Length squared is area, length cubed is volume. Area corresponds to propeller swept area or wing area and thus lift, while volume times density is equal to the weight. This is why a hummingbird or sparrow can dart around, while a swan requires a running start and a turkey needs to sprint and buffet (yum) the air with its wings just to get airborne for a few seconds and roost in a tree overnight. And it's why a $19.99 plastic micro quad with brushed motors will fly just fine, but to lift a DSLR you'll need brushless motors and carbon fiber.
I'm not an expert but maybe collapse is a misnomer anyway. These events take place over centuries, and existing civilizations are in a continuous transformation and often defined in arbitrary political terms. For example, many of Europeans and Americans are pretty much direct descendants of the West Roman Empire and the Mongolian Empire, mixed with many other influences. Others are primarily descendants of the Chinese Empire, which still exists in some form of political unity, mixed with many other influences.

Sometimes when a transformation is faster than usual, for example because of an imported illness or conquests by technologically more advanced groups, we may call this a 'collapse'. In case of the Mayan culture this is probably justified, but that's not the normal case. The normal case is a continuous mixing with other cultures from which new political unions, languages and identities evolve.
