Gosh, I really miss TA. I never felt like another RTS matched TA for variability, even though I basically only ever played against one friend.

It appears to be only T-Mobile that is down presently (https://twitter.com/NevilleRay/status/1272624569707184128), likely that those making calls to T-Mobile phones are representing outages on their networks.

The "Season Only" Episodes are, in this case, behind the scenes type things. You can buy 1 by 1 without issue, I've been doing the same. The other nice thing (I think it's new) is that Google Play will deduct the price of episodes you've purchased individually from the season price if you do decide you want the whole thing later.

Agreed, lack of ECC support is the thing that makes this laptop almost perfect. Otherwise, it's fantastic.

We use Dell's Precision 15 5000 laptops. We get them with a Xeon E3-1505M and Quadro M1000M, which performs great in what we're doing (simulation, extremely multithreaded sensor processing, etc.). They're not cheap, but if you want "the best", I'd say they're a good candidate.

They're just targeting different markets. Otto is largely targeting manufacturing, Locus is targeting e-commerce and fulfillment more. The morphology of the robots follows from that.

That's not strictly true. The Locus system isn't a Kiva drop-in, it's a next-gen system as well.

Was anyone else disappointed that this wasn't an article about the engineering behind the tennis racket?

A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.
