A TASTE OF WHAT'S TO COME?



Another incident here. I vaguely remember this incident being described to me by my father when we lived in Nueces County, just east of Duval County.

FACE IT: Liberals just aren't very funny.

I MAY HAVE TO GO with Dr Pepper as my soft drink of choice: Progressive Movement Compels Coca-Cola To Pull Support From ALEC Over Voter Suppression Efforts.

I've already given up on Arby's.

CONSERVATIVES do have a plan for health care reform. It just doesn't depend on government largesse.

ANTHROPOLOGIST criticizes misuse of history in space predictions. I suggest that Ms. Deming think more about the contributions of science fiction authors than those of anthropologists; they have a much higher success rate in predicting the future from the past.

A RIGHT TO URINATE. And if you're not sufficiently tolerant of this right, you must be a bigot.

SPACE TECHNOLOGY:

Manned Missions Said To Be More Versatile Than Robotic Ones.

And

US Moving Towards "Tiny, Speedier And Cheaper" Spacecraft.

So manned space is going to be peopled by dwarves?

AIR FORCE CHIEF: It’ll Be ‘Years’ Before We Catch Up on Drone Data.

The Air Force has more drones and more sensors collecting more data than it has humans to interpret what the electronic tea leaves say. The glut of all that video and still imagery is “unsustainable,” says the Air Force’s top civilian — but it’ll be “years” before the Air Force digs its way out of it. (Spoiler: The solution is automating the cameras [emphasis added].)

I find this somewhat amusing in that the problem is exactly the same as it was when I was working the field back in the mid-1980s. While we've made phenomenal strides in analysis, we've made even more phenomenal strides in data capture, and as a result are even farther back than we were in the mid-80s.

MERCHANTS OF DESPAIR:



So tell us what you really think, Bill.
