Jun 26, 11:40PM
In a few decades, global warming will likely make our unbearable summers hotter, longer, and even more unbearable. So think of the chickens.

The Uncanny Valley of Old Futurism
Jun 26, 9:35PM
In 1995 Eugene Volokh wrote the most paleofuturish article ever written. By that I mean it's an incredibly prescient meditation on the future of media and technology. But it has just enough weird anachronisms to remind us that nobody can predict the future with absolute certainty.

DARPA just announced the details of the final round of its years-long Robotics Challenge, and boy, do they sound difficult. Not only will all the robots have to work wirelessly and without human intervention, the course must be completed all at once. If a robot falls and can't get it up, it's done.

Jun 26, 6:43PM
No scientist has dedicated their time to the cause yet, but one day research will confirm that most outlets in an empty room will inevitably end up trapped and inaccessible behind heavy furniture.
