I don't come here very often anymore. When I do, this is the ONE representation of the sift showing up on the front page.

I think wanting to put this on the front page was misguided. I also think bringing this up makes all the people behaving the worst feel all warm and fuzzy about their willingness to speak the truth in the face of obsessive political correctness. I see a few comments from people I think well of, but honestly, I would rather not have seen any of it.

There will always be disgusting things here. Keep them clearly labled, and I will avoid them. I read this because I was sympathetic to the topic, but I wish I hadn't. THIS POST, and not the original video, is why I, a woman, don't come here very often.

I logged in, and it said access denied. I tried again and it said it couldn't display login information because i was already logged in. It seems like something is messed up.

I was going to bring this myself. *quality.

I hadn't really heard of Your Own Show before this, but now I want to watch it.

I bet Stephen Fry loves this.

I'm in love. *quality

Knowing this is part of my job: Berkeley Bionics was founded by UCB faculty. The research was done at UCB. To quote Berkeley Bionics's website:

2005: Berkeley ExoWorks™ is founded by Dr. Homayoon Kazerooni, Russ Angold, Nathan Harding, and other individuals associated with the Berkeley Robotics and Human Engineering Laboratory. The new company enters into a licensing agreement with the university to commercialize innovative exoskeleton technology developed at the lab. ... 2007: Berkeley ExoWorks becomes Berkeley Bionics™.

Berkeley Bionics is a private company, but it is very much an academic venture, founded on academic research in exoskeletons and other robotic efforts.

Awesome.

Did you see the soldiers carrying 200 pound loads with this thing, safely? And the money went to Berkeley, not a defence contractor. The commercialization for civilians followed later, and is encouraged by the DoD.

I think this video is awesome. I must double *promote it.

I think the man who made this video is a really terrible father.

Alan Alda was the second man I ever fell in love with. I say Alan Alda, and this was progress, because the first man I fell in love with was Spock (and not Leonard Nimoy).

Seem to have gotten something in my eye...


It all comes out of work for the DoD, MG. It's primary purpose was to keep military folks safe and help them if they werent' safe.

My university does similar work, but under a different paradigm. It's really great showing the work to new people.
