The government appeared to want it both ways, Andrew Crocker, a legal fellow at the EFF, told Motherboard. "They said [the Internet data collected under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court] is not relevant to our case, but they've also made statements, in asserting state secrets, that we touch on issues under the guidance of the FISC."
Yep. I think as other people have pointed out, solving these problems always depends upon thinking about the context, the benefits and the costs involved.
In situations where people are a lot of people are waiting for not many taxis—like the airport—sharing doesn't just mean a cost incentive but a time incentive too. Sharing in these situations is beneficial to both passengers and taxis, who spend less time waiting in long lines, and it benefits the transportation hub and the city as a whole. People get moving cheaper and faster, using what already exists.

Here's a 20-minute documentary we just released on the death of the Tevatron at Fermilab, which helped hunt for the Higgs, before it was shut down, probably sooner than it should have been.

There's also a bit on the superconducting supercollider.
"It's the writing on the wall," Neil deGrasse Tyson says at one point. Hope you like it, and that it sheds some light on the impact of these cuts.

I wrote about this last week on Motherboard, and included a video segment about the current detector situation from Vice's latest Iraq documentary: http://motherboard.vice.com/read/iraqs-most-popular-bomb-detection-device-is-useless-video Really just wish this were a metaphor for the war, but it's terribly real.

The debate is clarified here too. But Obama really messed up with that line.
