I completely agree. I came here to say this but see you beat me to it! I might add that this could be used to park your car miles from where you live. You would simply let your car know when to pick you up and it would come to you like calling the valet at a hotel before heading out. If tesla had overnight parking garages/chargers scattered around we could use all that garage space in our houses for more activities!
That's a really interesting thought once you consider where autonomous vehicles are going with Uber and Google's self-driving vehicles.
It makes a ton of sense that any such vehicle, in addition to going to pick you up, drive you around and drop you off needs to be able to park itself at home base and refuel in an automated fashion.
I'd always seen electric vehicles and fully autonomous vehicles as synergistic technologies for this reason. Certainly, in the part of town where I live, no one has garages or even driveways, so electric cars as they stand would not be practical here.
Plastic is not a sustainable nor cost-effective material to build roads out of. I am a mechanical designer who designs with plastics daily. All plastic polymer chains break down over time and there is no getting around it. Light, thermal-variations, water-absorption, and mechanical stress can cause microscopic polymer chains to break and this weakens the plastic. If you have ever seen plastic that has become brittle with old age or sunlight you have seen a perfect example of polymer-chain damage in plastics. The rate of polymer chain breakage can be slowed down through various plastic formulations but it can't be stopped, especially in an outdoor environment where it is contending with wild temperature variations, water, oil, sunlight, and cars driving on it.
So yes, lets make a road out of plastic, even though plastic is at it's absolute worst under the stresses roads undergo. I will join the "when will the road break" betting pool at 8 years and 2 months after the road is laid.
"If you provide all the cash needed, then we'll find you a Greek Island. There's an estimated 1,200 to 6,000 in Greece and one will belong to you. This one has yet to be ratified with the Greek Prime Minister himself but it's pretty much in the bag."
After reading this I wondered what the going rate for an island was.
Have you eliminated the Access Point as the point of failure? Try plugging your MBP directly into the router via ethernet after you have reproduced this error and see if you get connection that way.
I looked around a little bit on the web page but the answer to my two questions was not immediately apparent to me. (Note: I might just be blind)
1. Can I set up a second Graylog Server as a failover with automated recovery and log syncing when both nodes come back up?
2. Can I run it on any cheap cheap embedded platforms like a raspberry pi or beagleboard?
Yes, you can set up as many Graylog servers as you want and put them behind a load balancer or integrate any kind of failover you want.
We do not recommend it running on extremely small platforms like a raspberry pi, but a very small VM (we have OVAs and other virtual appliances ready) is able to process a lot of messages already.
Only if your load balancer supports UDP, which most don't. You'll most likely need to use DNS load balancing in this case unless you're sending GELF messages with TCP.
