Holy shit. I'd leave the country and renounce citizenship over something like this. Reading words? Looking at pictures? Watching a video? Felony jail time? Really? This is policy t…

It's a little deceptive to label these kinds of sentiments as contrary to the premise of innovation. Experiments, by nature, require expendable resources, but an finished appliance…

It's actually been quite nice reading, today. All the articles are pretty good!

The political implications tied to self-driving cars are all scary. The political implications tied to self-driving trains are not. The difference being the rails that bind and inh…

SkyJack is a drone engineered to autonomously seek out, hack, and wirelessly take over other drones within wifi distance, creating an army of zombie drones under your control. ...a…

My god. I never realized that people used to actually dress up in suits made of inner tubes. Those pictures are surreal.

And so, if you look at the pictures, you'll see an interesting number denoting the quantity of plutonium powering the device. It's not measured in grams, or even micrograms, or any…

I've stopped thinking about this in terms of mass surveillance, and re-arranged my perception, to align with a different world view. Namely: If we weren't surprised to learn that e…

Ha! Yeah, that'd be like an hour's walk from 110th St. And subway connections readily cross-pollinate both sides of the bridge, in terms of actual human movement. Especially, given…

No. A truly intelligent and sentient AI would have the intellectual capacity to understand its own conventional political status within the social order of humanity, and would inst…

This concept is useless because it relies on an honor system. It should be painfully obvious by now, that honor systems cannot be trusted to preserve privacy. Google Glass is the C…

A big part of it has to do with the fact that this is mostly a recreational website. People come here to unwind, distract themselves and daydream a bit. Whenever I find myself seek…

At first glance, I'm gobsmacked at the idea of an electronic system that hovers around 90% planned uptime, but then again, of all the services I might wish to demonstrate a total l…

Well, ideally, the "new resource" is also genetically matched living brain, and given the plasticity of brain tissue, and maybe by way of a novel as-yet-uninvented means of coaxing…
