I read somewhere that the pattern displayed by the CM-5 in the film was referred to as 'common and pleasing #6', as close as I can recall it. I've not seen a definition of the pattern other than it's actual output.

You seem to be in an org that has a well established process, and this can be a good thing. Many startups have 'requirements' scribbled on a napkin, and everybody 'just starts coding'. This type of environment is a littl

Track down an old show called Denno Coil. Every character wears AR glasses, and there's practically a startup idea in every episode of the first season. It is so very Japanese that they used AR on a show from over 10 years ago. https

For US aerospace contracts, one of the standard provisions is the disposal and destruction of any remaining products and tooling. This is done for compliance with ITAR regs, to prevent advanced technical information from reaching other cou

This video is fictional, and was made as a warning about where current tech could take us. I have no doubt that generals who have seen it are quite upset that they can't have it yet.

You're correct. The CEO is a former hedge fund guy, who has purchased a number of companies, shut them down, and added the IP to a portfolio. If Gibson ends up with new leadership out of this they will have a chance.

CNN is full of it. The key paragraph in the article: "North Korea has never successfully tested an ICBM, despite repeatedly showing off what it claims are working missiles at military parades. Some experts have publicly doubted whether

Somebody should do a video startup that values free expression and adult topics of discussion, and eat their lunch. Oh, and cat videos.

Heh, Steve Jobs unknowingly solved this problem years ago. Apparently he didn't want a license plate in order to protect his privacy, before plate scanners were a thing. In California you have a certain amount of time after buying a ca

When I see companies demanding people's lives, I now see a message. The message is from the executives, board members, and investors. The message is the reality behind 'corporate culture', 80 hour weeks, and other destructiv

Putting up transparent bubble wrap does a great job of blurring what's behind, while letting people see if you're in your office. Raid the shipping department.

The power and authority religion grants the adherent is the key motivator. Power over women, power to kill 'enemies' in the name the faith, and so on.

To be fair, booting the Cray would require a good sized power substation. The power bill would be... impressive.

Perhaps such 'sightings' trigger an avalanche of calls, emails, FOIA requests, and lawsuits, consuming resources that are better spent on their organizational goals.
