I disagree, the Internet does not DE-RADICALIZE anyone. The Internet is a giant echo chamber with predictive search results that tell you exactly what you want to hear.
For example, in Google right now using "Why are black people" as the stem of my query, I get returned:
"Why are black people black" "Why are black people so loud" "Why are black people so mean" "Why are black people so fast"
So tell me again how the Internet is de-radicalizing or de-racistizing or de-anything-izing people.
Google is the front door of the Internet and Reddit is the front page. YouTube is the video library and features great videos like "How to join ISIS" and Facebook let's everyone organize.
Without the Internet the echo chamber would not exist and self-radicalizing would not occur.
Take San Bernardino California, with a stay at home mom alone at home with a baby, computer, and cell phone. She didn't get de-radicalizing. Not even a baby could compete with the Internet echo chamber of ISIS.
On a side note, with our massive NSA data warehouse and parallel construction, how did this even happen? Ammo, Guns, Pipes, Gunpowder paid for by credit card and shipped to an apartment with people who have visited countries with ties to terrorism. This should have been caught and through parallel construction a fake 911 call should have been used a pre-text to search the apartment. Either someone dropped the ball or this was allowed this to happen. I am not sure which is worse. Thoughts?
During the interview with the Indonesia AirAsia management, one of the discussion topics was related to upset recovery training. The approved Operation Training Manual covers the upset recovery training in Chapter 8. The module consisted of ground and simulator training. The ground training provides the flight crew with the background, definition, cause of aircraft upset, aerodynamic and aircraft systems in relation with aircraft upset. Recovery methods consider various aircraft attitude and speed including post upset conditions.
The upset recovery training had not been implemented on Airbus A320 training, since it is not required according to the Flight Crew Training Manual and has not been mandated by the DGCA.
worse.......
The Airbus A320 QRH chapter Computer Reset stated that: In flight, as a general rule, the crew must restrict computer resets to those listed in the table, or to those in applicable TDUs or OEBs. Before taking any action on other computers, the flight crew must consider and fully understand the consequences. The consequences of resetting FAC CBs in flight are not described in Airbus documents. It requires good understanding of the aircraft system to be aware of the consequences.
So we have a case of... 1. Alarm keeps going off 2. Reboot computer, hoping it will shutoff pesky alarm, but instead we don't understand consequences and knock out autopilot. 3. Without autopilot plane rolls and stalls, both human pilots do opposite things and make condition uncoverable.
Training issue....
Planes break, computers fail, and humans spill coffee. Pilots need the training to respond with automaticity when bad things happen We see this time and time again.

It's a trap..... Of course they want us to install this new material as they have a means of detecting it. They can get this material to light up on a new super secret radar like a Christmas tree.
Black Friday is usually full of aggressive jerks, going to get a good deal so they can resell the item and make some cash. Instead, I sleep in on BF, wake up later in the day and check Craigslist, where the thugs are selling their bounty. If you give them $20-$50 more than they paid for it, they are happy because they made a profit. Also, CyberMonday tends to have equal or better deals. The sad fact is that inventory comes over by the container full and it has to go somewhere.
Yes like on Star Trek where they use the Baryon Sweep to remove all the baryons built up from warp travel and as a side effect kill anything organic in the process. They shutdown and bail when the sweep is running.
The SR-71 had astro internal navigation long before GPS. This system required quite a bit of calibration at pre-flight, but with the sensors we have available today (gyros, accelerometers), this could easily be added to ships. This system can work day or night as well. It is pretty ingenious. There are several commercially available versions which could easily be incorporated into ships or drones. CelNav is a great exercise in math, but if your ship gets hit with an EMP, knowing your location won't do much good since you won't be able to move the ship.
Where do we need them? Cheap labor cost countries!
What STEM jobs can Americans do? Train their foreign replacements!
What can congress do! More H1-B's, we need cheap STEM labor and we need it now.
What can you do? Don't be a lowly middle class American, be a CEO of a STEM company and outsource your way to quarterly profits. If that doesn't work, reorganize and break up business units and sell them off. Maybe hookup with a corporate raider like Ichan and rack up a lot of debt, pay large dividends to shareholders then go bankrupt.
Oh this is going to be wonderful..... I'll be running late. When I put the key in the ignition and turn it the display will boot up it will tell me, "Please wait, GM is installing 33 critical updates." then it will want me to reboot the car.
Unless the car is a Google car and will drive itself, I really don't need a networked car. This is just going to end badly and make everyone late.
That brings up an interesting question, can a country declare bankruptcy? Greece needs a fresh start. No matter how Greece's debt is restructured they will never pay it off. Why even try?
It's not so much hand holding as the rare bug that deadlocks a business critical database that needs 99.999% (5 nines) uptime. Even with clustering and replication, Oracle support has had to produce kernel patches to fix semaphore freakouts and/or spinning on lock waits. Software was created by humans and there are bugs and flaws (like race conditions on locks for atomic resources) which were not foreseen in testing (or foreseen but not handled). When this happens you need the almighty Oracle to bail you out so that this problem never happens again and you can sleep at night.
The question is, "Is Oracle worth the money?" and the answer depends on your needs: scalability, reliability, and of course uptime.
Oracle has been playing the licensing game for years. First it was the network license (how many connections), then the running process license, then the CPU license, then the virtualized environment license, and now the cloud license. Oh, and if an Oracle salesdroid asks if they can come onsite and analyze your systems so they can help save you money on licensing, repeat after me, "NO!"
Boys and girls there is a lesson in this story. Each of us has a karma bucket. When that karma bucket is depleted the "fickle finger of fate" may reach and touch us causing untold calamity.

The biggest questions you have to answer are 1) what material do you want to use, and 2) what the max size of your part? Personally, I like ABS. It is flexible and more forgiving and assembles easily with acetone. My favorite lowend 3D printer is the Makerbot 2X, however you won't get an iron man costume out if it with the 6x9x12 build volume. However, with a few mods you can print, ABS, Ninjaflex, and even PLA.
The Ultimaker 2 is a great printer for PLA, nice resolution, however it uses 3mm filament which is not as common as at the 1.7mm that most of the other printers use.
My lease favorite low end 3D printer is the Makerbot Z18.

I've started using f.lux and on my iPad and Computers. I feel it makes a huge difference at the end of the day plus it visually alerts me to bedtime.
f.lux® software to make your life better
Some initial studies has shown that using f.lux on your screens at night is equivalent to getting extra sleep.
Apple claimed f.lux violated the developer agreement and made them take down the source, but you can still get it here:
Git Hub for f.lux
Just use Xcode to install and side load.
