The saddest news is that they are down to like 4 mechanical engineers. There were at least 30 when I was working there.
I was told all the engineering actually gets done by the contractors in China. The engineers just send a wish list and the China team hacks it together.
iRobot not going to make it. 4 engineers can’t innovate just like that.
I’m going to disagree with you with two arguments: first, authority from Merriam Webster
Deport transitive verb 1 [Latin deportare] a : to send (a foreign-born noncitizen) out of the country by legal order : to subject to deportation b : to remove (someone or something) : DISPLACE
2 : to behave or comport (oneself) especially in accord with a code
Second argument is historical. During WWII, People were deported to concentration camps. They for sure didn’t call the camps their home.
I used to work at iRobot. Chinese manufacturers cloned Roomba so well that parts from their robot like wheels assemblies could be dropped in and the Roomba would work.
The issue is that iRobot decided not to litigate patent infringement in China because it’s an uphill battle.
I agree that iRobot was very slow to innovate. They were on the brink of releasing a lawn mower robot but covid hit and the C suites made the decision to kill that product and fire that team to reduce risk…
Can we get the Czechoslovak legion involved? They sounded so cool.
Waiting for international women’s day any day now.
They could build them so that they stay in perpetual dawn or dusk. One edge with the solar panels in the su, the other edge with the cooling fins in the night’s cool breeze.
Guys I’m sorry. It looks like he read this in his own way and is going for ballroom and triumphal arch.
Didn’t realize he would tear down half the White House in the process and turn the whole thing into a grift somehow
I won’t ask you why but will ask you for a source as I find it surprising too.
For such high profile items, the thief’s don’t sell them as is. They take apart the jewelry and sell the precious stones bit by bit.
It takes one unscrupulous jeweler to buy the stones, recut them and sell them.
My guess is that the jewels are already in pieces en route to a foreign country.
There are 8 items reported stolen so far, a ninth has been recovered:

Not really when I think of it. Maybe I have narcissist tendencies??
Oh thanks I was looking for that info! Wow trump could have had two pyramids by now, look at that!
He will be buried under a bunch of GPUs and hard drives, where his wealth resides
Could we use his narcissism in a productive way?
What if we get it in his head that he hasn’t built any pyramid yet. At his age, Khufu had probably completed and was buried in his pyramid; the one that is still visible today, five millennia later. Where is Trump’s? What legacy will he leave us? He needs to start building asap
Once he gets convinced and starts appropriating funds for that, we only talk about that. Non stop. That way he doesn’t make any progress on his fascist agenda. Just a narcissist tar pit.
What could go wrong? Worst case scenario we have an American pyramid that is not a casino or a hunting and fishing store.

The issue for me is that AI generated music has ruined my experience with Spotify. It started recommending lofi beats (easy to generate with AI) and I didn’t want to spend weeks pushing the algorithm to not have it recommend me that crap.
Other users have complained about the downturn in quality of the weekly recommendations, which is what kept me there in the first place.
SoundCloud appears to have better recommendations for the type of music I like.

Yeah… They didn’t kill the king because he was rich. They killed him because he was believed to be a traitor to the nation and to the revolution.
They want a witch hunt? Those witches HEXED Charlie Kirk.

Scammers won’t need to social engineer grandma into giving out her SSN, they can just ask her AI many times and eventually, it will spit out absolutely everything.
