I highly recommend seeing (or reading) the excellent Command & Control on the history of nuclear weapon development and how close the US was to a weapon detonation in Arkansas. Its quite amazing the sacrifices those who worked with nuclear weapons endured.

Hell yeah! If you don't have Kaiju, governments won't spend the money to develop giant robots to fight them off and I don't wont to live in that kind of world :P.

Well said...and to add to it a lot of US military power is already projected into nations that have those critical resources. If the US relies on food from volatile nations you almost guarantee future military interventions to ensure those nations keep sending that food. Global trade is great for items that are not critical for day to day living; water, food and energy can spin up wars very quickly.

If it is a mirror, it's a funhouse mirror designed to distort, enhance and minimize the reality reflected in it. Humanity has some pretty ugly flaws but Facebook has to own up to its responsibility in shaping that mirror.

I'm curious to know what do you think would have happened if you did apply for the patent anyway? Could you have done it without your supervisor's knowledge and would the patent have been awarded to you instead of the university? I don't have any familiarity with this area but was always curious about the social contract of research and patent awards in the university setting.

I would check Curiosity's logs for any anomalous gaseous events...for he who smelt it, dealt it.

So you are upset that a select group of mysterious individuals comes together in their secret lair (aka server) to fight criminals and they have to hide their identity to avoid repercussions spilling into their normal life. I believe that describes every player's fantasy of City of Heroes. BE ANGRY...more like BE JEALOUS!

The title should say:

"IBM Used NYPD Surveillance Footage To Develop Technology That Lets Police Search by Physical Features"

...but I guess that is far less fear mongering than cherry picking out "skin color".

It's one of the "Four Corner" states right next to John, Paul and Ringo. :)

What the hell are you talking about?!? India is one of the largest consumers of gold primarily used in local jewelry (https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thehindu.com%2Fbusiness%2Findia-gold-demand-seen-rising%2Farticle23763376.ece). Its pretty common to see trucks, cars and tuk-tuks blinged out with all sorts of decorations. If anything the iPhone style is too western in its minimalist style. I'm sure the gold phone will sell like hotcakes and if they can have one with 10 colors on one phone that will sell to.

Now you would be correct if Apple were to open a store in an Amish community.

Most homes will be built near the corner of Cambridge and Analytica. The Home Owners Association will demand that none of the houses shall have locks and no windows will have blinds/drapes .

Uber is a taxi service plain and simple. Unless you, the driver and fellow passengers are actually splitting the cost of the trip equally it is not ride sharing....it's hiring a driver to take you somewhere.

We were the fucking vanguard of the galaxy. The Solar System was the place to be. Then some other system comes out with 8 planets. Were we scared? Hell, no. Because we hit back with a little thing called Pluto. That was a honey of a planet with a sweet ass name. But you know what happened next? Shut up, I'm telling you what happened—the bastards downgraded it to a dwarf planet. Now we're standing around with our cocks in our hands, selling 8 planets and a gimp. Gimp or not, suddenly we're the chumps. Well, fuck it. We're going to 12 planets...and a moisture strip.

We'll all stop calling them startups, whats next on the to-do list...ah yes, world peace.
