Assiduous Reader MichaelA<\/i> brings to my attention<\/a> a wonderful, lengthy article on practical robotics research titled Pizza, the unsung agent of the robot revolution<\/a>:<\/p>\n

It\u2019s often been said that without the online adult entertainment industry driving innovation on the Internet, the e-commerce and video streaming platforms that we take for granted today would never have matured so rapidly.<\/p>\n

In years to come, will we be saying the same about pizza\u2019s role in accelerating retail delivery technologies?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Pizza and porn, driving technological progress! You see, girls, us guys really do serve a higher purpose!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
