Yes, if by black, you mean black robes and black suits, commonly worn by judges and lawyers. Oh, and don't forget black uniforms :)

Looks like a neat project.

Extremely high compression, but good luck getting anything usable back.

Too bad that both aprioristic reasoning and empirical data smash the puerile argument put forth here. Even if androids with AIs were created, it still makes economic sense for them to not edge out biological lifeforms; earth has got millions of years of capital formation in supporting biological life that actively corrodes machinery. It would make sense for them to exploit places marginal to human occupation, such as planetoids without atmospheres.

Even in the luddite apocalypse where AIs and androids exist, comparative advantage still means more employment, not less.

The bomb was in a black backpack, and Dzhokar was wearing a white backpack. The DOJ just wants to throw the brother under the jail because they gunned down the guy who actually did the crime (Dzhokar's brother).

Pretty obvious to anyone who took orgChem. The stuff on the labels are estimates, so don't get too worked up about 'em.

Pretty neat idea -- a good way of making a self-contained 'I can boot this' application on a hypervisor.

Gotta know what the slaves are up to

Who needs science when your job is to enforce the whims of a ruling class who knows and cares even less about science.

Politics 101. The badge gang isn't here to stop crime, it's here to favor some parties above others, and benefit all the while.

I hope this is pretty much only for trolling the feminazis. But given that it's being touted by the NYT, it's probably more pablum.

The saudi puppet state sets up it's capital in Aden.

Likely because it deflates the insane war hawks.

And it's wrong for the same reasons as it's wrong to detain muslims linked to terror plots on flimsy evidence. The proof is in the pudding; if they had anything, they'd charge them.

When senators run brothels out of their houses, maintaining the farce of prohibition may just be too much for them.

I suppose the lefties there are pining for the winter of discontent to come back.

He's doing the upright kind of soldiery -- the market kind. It shows in his opinions too; he realizes the GWOT is BS.

Great roundup of the state of the art in the industry.

lol, the Freedom Feens beat him to it

Allowing market phenomenon considered "passive monetary loosening or tightening". Convenient excuse, that.

This time a young married couple gets provocateured into saying the magic words on twitter that get you put in the slammer.

Hard to get uppity with hearing damage, eh? They weren't complying...cause I deafened them to my orders, heh heh heh!

Good article on what it takes to be an effective startup or feature programmer.

Heckuva Job, Porky. Molech is pleased.

Lasers are the big new thing, microwaves are soooo last year
