Instead of trying to get NELL to "un-learn" something, I would see if weighted metrics could be applied to multiple tags for an individual record. As the "learning" progressed the weights would favor a particular categorization, but others would still be on record.
So Klingons as an "Ethnic Group" would end up with a lower metric than Klingons as a "Fictional Alien Species" or "Humanoids" or "animal with bilateral symmetry", etc..
The weighting mechanism could be as simple as an integer hit count in NELL's matching logic. I couldn't get to the article to read the details so I would guess that the code operates as a neural network at some level, so allowing the creation of weighted links should be do-able.
Pretty sure Chicago's elevated trains were considered efficient and innovative when they were built too. Why does that design or metropolitan monorail concepts need to THIS drastically "re-imagined"? Designs like this are where art meets engineering in a head on collision.
The only advantage I see to this design over elevated trains like Chicago's, Taipae's, and Bangkok's is that it does not require the permanent structures to hold the tracks and platforms throughout the city. Perhaps that would make maintenance on the rails easier.
Pedestrians can still walk in front of the moving supports though so I see that as that a serious disadvantage and fails to eliminate a physical barrier within the city.
I also really like the old German Wuppertal Schwebebahn
Why?... to inspire the same coziness of a book in a cold, lifeless electronic and plastic gadget. Not that I don't like me some cold, lifeless, electronic and plastic gadgets mind you.
I've seen this. But I wonder if Santa Claus Conquers the Martians wasn't more mind wrenching-ly horrible. I've been afflicted by both so I am in no position to judge. Now that I think about it, though, was there any singing in SCCM?
Obviously we need a whole bunch more studies. And a commission, I think.
And then more statistics and some charts. Where's Ross Perot's campaign team when your need them?!!
I think its pretty obvious at this point that only motorcycles and bicycles should be allowed on any roads. Cup holder technology will have to be completely re-engineered.
It would have to have one hell of a spinning ferrous core to generate a protective magnetic field at that distance to support "LIFE AS WE KNOW IT". Even if the hard radiation was shielded, the the temperature at the surface would be ridiculous.
This seems ludicrous. I can't imagine a fleet of ships being able to harness enough energy with current power sources to affect a temperature change to billions of tons of ocean water whether by circulation or thermal exchange of some sort.
Disrupting the atmospheric currents of a tropical depression BEFORE it forms a cyclone seems much more manageable.
I believe there have been a few proposals for doing just this with supersonic aircraft orbiting the eye of potential or existing hurricanes. The coordinated positions of the shock waves on the eye wall would theoretically disrupt the rotation of the storm. Far less energy would be required to form an interference pattern in the rotation that to super heat or pump water from ocean depths.
1) Hide in a steel shed until it passes so you don't disintegrate into red dust. 2) Evade the insane zombie-like people slowly disintegrating into red dust. 3)Wait for the first rain to wash the red dust of of everything. 4) World domination!
This approach applied to paraplegia would go along way to re-humanizing people stuck in wheelchairs. Even more so than Dean Kamen's four/two wheel stabilized wheelchair.

I would think G&R and Queen would be really offensive to anyone who likes metal.
But will they regulate a antimatter stream effectively?

Of course, we've all seen this work with alien probes visiting trying to talk to whales.
I for one welcome the Great Space Oyster and await the judgment of its Great Fleshy Foot!

Is that true even with precession of the orbits?

I can hear my network grinding to a halt as I type this.
do we start stringing the nanotubes between these Earth-trailing orbit satelites and begin the Ring World construction?

I bid 3 gravity wells... :>
Oh, sorry. Though I was bidding on a Triskelion death match.
