I remember a push to get the US on metric in the 70s. The bank temperature displays had Fahrenheit and Celsius, and they used it on newscasts. We talked about it in high school. But for the most part it went nowhere.

'There is a Party slogan dealing with the control of the past,' he said. 'Repeat it, if you please.' '"Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past,"' repeated Winston obediently.
The Yahoo news account for this story notes the death penalty decision was a "a huge victory for the federal government," as the prosecutors were pushing for it despite pleas from the victims to abstain.
I do a lot of writing, fiction and non. About a year ago I got a Rosewill keyboard with the Cherry Brown switches and love it. Once had a Toshiba notebook that had a great keybd but other than that everything I'd used for years was the flat, no-feel, lowest-common-denominator cheap ass junk that everyone seems to put up with. I never seemed to find anything at the local computer stores (Micro Center etc) that was worth a damn either. But the Rosewill seems pretty damn nice. I can pound it mercilessly all day.
My only concern at this point is key legend wear. It seems that the "s" key is not as legible as it was when new. By comparison my old Dell kbd's legends were almost completely gone except for Q, Z, X, W and a few others. There's a process called double-shot molding where the legends go all the way thru the thickness of the key, otherwise they're like painted on, and can wear off.
Even if you need a human being to warm the seat, it's a fundamental change to the job. The mostly-mindlessness of it will become much more so. And trucking companies will likely cut compensation to something close to night-watchman level, as the driver does anything most of the time.
The target article of "nothing but love" has been removed. On one hand, the author's sources couldn't be verified, but MIT was likely under pressure by HP also.
Actually, the science for cryonic preservation is advancing. Don't forget, there are thousands of people walking around today who, as embryos, were frozen in LN2 for years. Although there have been no successful resuscitations for frozen mature individuals to date, you really can't prove it can't happen. There's nothing in physics that says therapies can't be developed to repair cells (they don't burst, they dry out). There's just nothing in medicine yet for it.
Despite the scandal, he was later appointed as Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted's Director of Elections.
So the bloody butcher knife in your hand looks bad, but as long as you play a good game of golf with your buddies, you're in.

Not verifiable through experiment, but reasonable enough to pay the rent.

Actually, forcing employees to train their replacements or lose their severance is not new. It also does nothing to renew your faith in humanity.

Looks like one of the Boston Dynamics machines. Also interesting is it seems to be self-powered and not with a noisy motor like Big Dog.

"Huge victory" -- ridiculous. No one wins.

Unless you want your readers' eyes to glaze over, write in active voice.
On the one hand, you could black out the windows for privacy. On the other hand, many police departments have a hard time with blacked out windows.

Thought headline said "UN To Debut Lethal Autonomous Weapons"

You worked at a place that let you learn on the job... that's a history lesson...
Just the thing for your robot picnic.
