Scary.  Innovative too.  I hate to say it but killer robots are the future of warfare.

A fridge should never need software. 

Full circle.  In the "All Creatures Great and Small" books the author talks (post-World War II) about when first sulfa drugs and then antibiotics finally made their way to veterinary medicine. He had been talking about, pre-antibiotics, they had used a copper wash to fight an ailment in cattle which had some  some beneficial effect but how antibiotics seemed like magic cure in comparison and how all those apothecary bottles in the vet surgery started gathering dust to be replaced by a small cabinet containing antibiotic vials. 

Makes me wonder if some of those old pre-antibiotic treatments might be used to augment modern medicines against stubborn maladies. 

It's very important to pay attention to this as part of situational awareness.

There is a real need for this for many group blogs.

Sure, sure NOW everybody loves the smugglers. 

It's hard to hold yourself out as a premium car when you are forcing adverts on your buyers while Ford and Chevy are not (yet).

That was a good read.  Techdirt does really good stuff.

Google's sense of entitlement knows no bounds.

Most data centers are full of our cat pics. heh.

Still, any way you cut it AI data centers are resource hogs.

Very well said.  Being able to command the (English) language will always serve you well.

Heck if the analog bits were made today they would be cheesy.

We have not heard the last of this and the utility companies seem to be oblivious to the storm that is coming.

The Reaper has been around for a long time in drone terms, at least since the Obama Admin if not earlier. And who knows how many years it was in design before it ever entered production.

Drones were new back when the Reaper was designed which means everything was bespoke and therefore super expensive with no off the shelf parts.  And drone warefare has changed very rapidly in the last 4 years but little or no innovation or design coming out of the US.

That is really cool.  Thanks RC.

Nice find.
