Just have the prosecution put up a web site claiming that the accused is guilty and the defense put up one saying innocent, then the judge can check to see which Google accepts or rejects.
Likewise good for hiring decisions, investment decisions, policy decisions etc. Kind of like a boolean Ouija board.
Let's test it on whether we should go see the new Star Wars movie, which doesn't seem to be generating the usual hype.
Except that the experimental evidence is hardly unambiguous. Other labs that have tried to reproduce the effect have failed; one that succeeded had to retract their publication when they realized they had made an experimental error. Even the proponents' results are suspect: the thrust apparently doesn't vary consistently with the power input, and in fact sometimes it gives "thrust" in the wrong direction.
That's a different issue. The EM drive supposedly works without ejecting mass out the tailpipe to create forward momentum, but isn't a claim to get thrust without energy input.
Free power schemes such as you describe don't generally work, for the same reason we can't have perpetual motion machines.
I think the next logical step is to test "fire" an EM drive in the vacuum of space and see if it is still producing thrust when moving around the earth in both zero gravity and zero atmospheres.
A positive (speaking) result in that instance would go a long way to proving whether or not it was capable of driving future space exploration
Problem is, that requires a pretty big cash investment just to test an unproven and scientifically dubious technology.
The practical implication is that if such reactionless drives are possible, the spacecraft will still need to carry a power source to run it, but not the huge masses of fuel to be spewed out the back to provide Newton's "equal but opposite reaction".
This is a technology that you hope for (new physics) but bet against (conservation of momentum). Very telling in the Wikipedia writeup is that one proponent got thrust in all of 7 tests - but 4 were in one direction and 3 in the opposite direction. This strongly suggests that the "results" are just experimental error, but even if the effect is real... an engine isn't much use if you can't control whether it sends you forward or backward.
Hillary Clinton is an evil person. She left Americans, people under her employ, to die in Libya.
What did you expect her to do - put on her red cape and fly 1/3 of the way around to kick some ass?
By the time we found out some of them were there to kill people it was too late to rescue them. Even the nearby CIA station couldn't have brought dead people back to life.
How do you know that? Their relative velocity would depend on how fast the galaxies were moving together, and the escape velocities would depend on how close they passed by one another.

I'm trying to remain skeptical, but this really is what every sci-fi nerd has been waiting for.
As I told a friend when CNF first hit the news, if it sounds too good to be true then it probably isn't.
What's the usual format of an EM drive?
NTFS.
Stephen Hawking is a brilliant man and solid scientist. His abilities as a futurist leave something to be desired.
Unlike futurism, cosmology is a field that someone can actually be good at.
Lots of women with icy hearts have tilted me over.
It's what we engineers call a 'paper airplane.'
Or 'vapor' airplane.
No problem... you can read their new $300 book while you wait for your programs to load.

Google Surfaces Fake News About Election Results
Google does what?
Maybe they were using Google as a verb.
Which of the two is the fake/hoax news story?
Technology is a "bigger" story than, uh, Weefinger.
They can get a zero on both sides by doing nothing. If they can't beat that they shouldn't be in the game.
Demand something that's a plus on both sides. Anything else is defective.
Are voting machines even on the internet?
Actually, if he gets elected he'll repeal global warming with an executive order, so it won't be a problem.

I think the only reason Trump got into the race in the first place, was because Bill Clinton
...told him the prez gets free blowjobs from interns?

Also, when are they going to run the experiment on programmers?
"apparent no", according to the summary.
