I. The State of Self-Driving Car Technology and The Possibilities In the 1990 film, Total Recall (starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sharon Stone), the protagonist played by the now former governor of California hails a self-driving car with a humanoid, robotic attendant sitting where a human driver would. What makes the surreal scene eerily prophetic is how Schwarzenegger asks the AI cab driver questions like one might ask Alexa, Siri, or Google's voice assistant, and the "Johnny Cab" sasses

The best defense is a good offense according to the new National Cyber Strategy, announced by the White House. The US is set to play offense more than ever in the security war being fought somewhere above our heads in the “cloud” and in the networks that connect us. This four-pillared strategy, obtusely worded, is a product of the executive order signed last year, Cybersecurity of Federal Networks and Critical Infrastructure, which was meant to place a heavier hand on enhancing government under

1. 2016 Wasn't The First Time Donald Trump Ran for President In 2012, Donald Trump made a brief appearance in the Republican primary, dipping his toe into the water, so to speak, and getting an idea for what it would be like to run. He formed an exploratory committee and even polled in second place behind Mitt Romney very early on in 2011 before bowing out, probably because he knew better than to try to run against Barack Obama's re-election campaign. 2. 2012 Wasn't The First Time He Ran for

A federal district court judge has decided that Georgia will not switch to paper ballots this year and will instead keep its electronic voting system. Judge Amy Totenberg took state election officials to task for a “head-in-the-sand” approach to election security, but said that it is too late in the game to switch from the vulnerable touch-screen machines to paper ballots before voters head to the polls on November 6. Early voting begins in less than a month. A group of citizens who are suing G

It’s not a secret that of all the major institutions in this country, Americans have by far the least amount of confidence in one of them: Congress. According to a Gallup 2018 poll, just 11% of Americans have a high level of confidence in Congress. When you compare this confidence level to other major American institutions such as organized religion, the Supreme Court, organized labor, big business, public schools, newspapers, the military, the presidency, the medical system, banks, the police,

The Koch brothers are the perennial capitalist power-donor bogeymen of the right, feared and maligned by Democrats as much as George Soros is hated by Republicans as the same kind of bogeyman of the left. However, as with many controversial matters, the Kochs aren't exactly what the partisan narrative portrays. For instance, the Koch brothers and many of the publications they funded throughout the Bush years were staunchly anti-war, and they may even be more anti-war than the Center for America

San Diego, CA.- The quality of the product sold at cannabis shops is obviously critical for success. So anytime there are questions about potency and product value, important questions need to be asked. A recent Associated Press report stated nearly 20 percent of cannabis products in California failed tests for potency and purity since the state started requiring the checks on July 1. The testing has been especially tough on cannabis-infused cookies, candies and tinctures: Since the study, abo
