This might work... But not because astrology works, but because enough people believe in it. If someone believes in their horoscope and says today should be a good day to be adventurous, they may use that day to take more risks, and injure themselves in the process. Or the fact that particular stars are visible during different seasons. So while Orion is visible, then there is a higher chance to get the flu. Astrology isn't science, but it is just a bunch of data loosely correlated with results. These data correlations could be used to predict higher health care activity.
The ethical conundrum about robots serving alcoholic drinks. This is a very American issue. 1. Having a robot serve drinks seems to be a superficial luxury. Just so they don't have to get off their Asses and get a beer out of the fridge? Or will they be used to save money at a big expensive party where the robots will be more then mobile tables. However will it save money? Probably not, as people would probably like the interaction with the hostesses. Or would it just be a robotic bartender programed to mix a wide selection of drinks, this is the only practical use of a drink robot. But this is near the equivalent to a vending machine that happens to have drinks in them.
2. The ethics of drinking. I don't drink that much myself. (a drink every couple of months) but there isn't really a big ethical issue about drinking. It is mostly due to religions who try to discourage it. If a robot can more accurately verify someone's inebriation, it may be more helpful, to reduce drunk driving, or alcohol poisoning, better then a busy bar tender who can loose track of how much each person is drinking.
I think it may be an issue of overactive parents too. The child may have peanut allergy, when it it found out, they get a rash... They go to the doctor, they get diagnosed, and they never have a peanut for the rest of their life. Where kids back in the old day, may have gotten the same rash, then the next time, they may have not, as their body realized how to handle that protein. However the Old way of thinking, is if it doesn't kill you it will make you stronger.
Well Michael Rogers is doing his job. His job a NSA is to find threats... The best way for him to do his job is to ask for more access to data. Now don't fault him on asking. The issue comes down to if we as a society are brave enough to say we value our freedom more than our security.
But his job is to try to maximize security, so to do his job, he will request permission to hinder our freedom.
If he was going, oh I don't want access to this data. He should be fired for not doing his job. It isn't up to the NSA to set the balance, the NSA job is to push the balance one way.
By famous you mean having some name recognition in a subset of of a subset of a group.
What appears to be an armey trying to get you, are actually the normal recruiters who ping anyone with the buzzwords. If you are the creator of a popular framework, then you are probably one of the few people that seems to get past the badly written recycled job requirements, and get past HR, who just filter on keywords.
You know those jobs. Web Developer 5 years experience with Windows Server 2012. 10 years experience in PHP, C#,.NET, ASP, COBOL, FoxPro, JavaScript, HTML, XML, RPG BS in Computer Science Degree, Masters Prefered. Salary 45k.
The jobs are just recycled from previous requests, they may update a couple of things, but in general, they just take the requirements of the guy who just left, and tried to replace him, with the same salary, they he decided to leave for.
Now a good recruiter, will push around the HR filtering, and bring you directly with the hiring manager, who is able to say offer double or triple the salary, give a you a better title, and realize that they are a Linux shop and only use Windows 2012 for Exchange, which isn't your job to manage.
Yea, they should have made alcohol consumption illegal 95 years ago. But I guess there wasn't idea on the danger of alcohol consumption.
While pot may be safer then alcohol it doesn't mean that it is good for you. Alcohol consumption has a wide cultural background for good or for bad. Pot and tobacco much less so. We want to get people to stop smoking tobacco too. Why should we just green light pot just because it is less bad, but still bad.
Now for legit medical use, it makes sence and it should be legal for medical. But for recreational use it should fall under the same category as pain killers.
However in war, most of the time, you are trying to claim that that spot of land is your territory. So depending on the outcome, you are either the the aggressor or defendor.
However if your business is integrated with your home, then you have a different set of issues. 1. Customers will need to travel further to work with you, So we will need more expensive last mile infrastructure. 2. Large business will buy your home. If a business wants to expand, they will probably target your home more than they would if you live in a residential district. As well you get the issues of company owned housing. Where you are a slave to the company, as if you get fired or laid off you loose your job and your home.
The problem is actions like this put the burden individuals and smaller municipal governments. People especially Americans, do not like the government telling them what they can and can't do to their own property. Also the small local governments have limited funds, such actions will mean that the local government will need to make a serious sacrifice. Putting such actions in place, will only lead to the politicians who put the rule in place being kicked out, and if it continues violence will escalate.
Now your post didn't mention a forced change, I just wanted to bring up trying such smaller scale modifications, will require a slow approach, where alternatives will need to be sure that there aren't major flaws in the design, as a large scale implementation failure could have a major backlash.
Computer science as an academic field of study, isn't about how a computer works (that is computer engineering) neither it it about programming (those can be taught in vocational training) computer science is the science of computation. Experimenting in different ways we can solve problems.
Now many people with such a degree in their undergrad get a rewarding career in programming or other work doing more advanced thing with computers. But that is their job, not their degree of study.
As for Bill Nye statement. It isn't as much about lack of science, but the fact that most CS do not focus attention in natural sciences, and focus more on the abstract modeling then the actual results. Secondly right now the degree in CS means there are a lot of outside accedemia. When we leave the instruction walls we are exposed to a lot more types of people, so our opinion forms from a different cultural exposure. As well there are a lot of grads who took CS to just get a job, to play the system, there is no real interest in Computer Science, it is a way for them to get the paper to say they can be hired for such a job. It isn't the academic discipline, but the people who get it.
The 1990s internet adds were mostly from questionable business or from a few large companies. Without the ability to target, individuals their effectiveness wasn't as good as it is now, so in general they just could make the money. Today they Are more profitable and can keep a business profitable. A lot of the 1990s tech companies also didn't have a business plan at all, sell under cost, but sell a lot of them. Hoping to get a customer base, and force an economy of scale. The winners Amazon, Google, eBay had a model that brought in revenue to cover their growth.
The thing is. Most people really don't get so crazy about adds, just as long as they don't get too abusive.
I am sure most of you don't remember the internet before ads. In short there wasn't much to it. We had a few companies posing their sales fliers, we had some academic papers. Software companies may have had a public FTP site. The rest was an attempt to make a Telnet version of the BBS (The old dial up ones, that were more then a message board) The bulk of the interesting stuff was on the IRC, internet apps were via Telnet. To get access to a lot of these places even the public ones, you needed to give out far more personal information then you would ever do today.
When companies could urge companies to pay them to post their ads, that is when the big growth of the public internet came out. Most internet sites without the revenue from ads, will not make it. Lets use Slashdot: Do you think enough people are willing to pay slashdot directly to keep them operational? Do you think slashdot would be able to keep its load, enough to bring down other sites without significant revenue? If you had to pay for it. Would you use it or switch to an other site such as OSnews?
I looked at the image it appears the laptop bulk is directly over the head so turning your head left and right shouldn't be a big issue, Up and Down may put a little more strain.
I figure a Fan Boy Response will be such.... White and silver: Apple also has a tradition of offering many color products as well. the original iMac - the iPhone 6. Has a choice of colors. There is no evidence that an iCar will be just restricted to a few colors.
The hood doesn't need to open, because the car will not break down, as the engine is proposed of no moving parts that will wear out. As well such hood interferes with the aerodynamics of the automobile.
The tires don't cost twice as much, you are just use to putting on the cheap bargain tires on your car, while Apple only uses the high end quality tires. They will last you twice as long too.
You are over stating the gas and windshield wiper fluids. There is an adapter so you can operate with pedestrian gas stations, and you can pick up an additive that you can mix with the windshield-wiper fluid.
The car doesn't emit exhaust, it does have a Starbucks store built in so that is where the smell is probably coming from.
It will depend on the community and the volume. Say you have an area that is mostly densely packed. And you have 95 Small packages, and 5 large packages, with 10 drones. While you are hand delivering the big packages, the drones can be getting the small ones outs. If you have just a few packages, and the area isn't so dense, then you are better off hand delivering them.
Back in the day. We just had (mostly men) who used tools to make things to improve their lives. The idea of a garage filled with tools, so we could fix and make things use to be common.
While it is one one most preventable in terms it, can be controlled by voluntary actions. However these actions are in societies taboo areas. So it is difficult to say to propose the use of condoms to people in a society where they are told not to have premarital sex. So by having such items shows that you are guilty of diverting from societies expectation.
The issue I have with the design, isn't the wire, but the fact the frames are so huge and obvious. If we were to have normal looking glasses, with a low profile wire, that went to a bulker piece of electronics it wouldn't be so bad. You can have that wire hidden by your ear and hairline.

I want 2020 to be year of the *n?x Workstation. We don't need a Desktop OS. We need a good Workstation OS. The PC role is changing from the Personal computer and towards a more professional tool. Something not everyone will need.
I would like to see UI advancements going towards Workstation productivity, not towards Desktop user friendly, or worse Desktop/Tablet hybrid.
UI designed for Big high resolution screens, where users can manage and maintain multiple apps easily without hunting for windows. When resizing a Window or frame, we should be able to either shrink the content, or realign. Improved hot key integration. It will combine a lot of new methodologies and dig up some of the old ones we haven't used in a while.
You cannot win the game unless you are willing to take risks.

Woz and Jobs put out the idea that people should have personal computers. HP Though that computers were only for business. What if HP was right. We wouldn't have Personal Computers, and never really heard of Woz or Jobs, or Gates and Ballmer....
Many of the technologies that are having a hard time getting funding, isn't about not finding people who will pay for such a technology. But for people to pay for YOUR technology. Your solution may not be ready for prime time yet. But the idea of your type of technology may be ready.
Most of politics are just talking heads. The Free Market will make jobs.
The key issue with Technology is that it is taking up those low level jobs, where the strapping young fellow can get their feet wet in the business world, and work their way up the corporation for bigger and better things.
Technology replaces these jobs in particular areas, which makes working up the company difficult.
There isn't much demand for the starting paper pushing type of job, computers are good at moving data from one spot to another. So the new college grad, no longer gets a job, where he is interacting with all the people in the organization and getting a good handle on the bigger picture on how the place works. So in order to work at the organization you need to have a particular speciality in place. Thus being placed in a particular department with little chance of moving out. So your career growth now becomes moving companies as there is limited growth at just any one company.
