Reply to comment by spinereader81 in Bloomberg: Amazon Packages Burn in India, Final Stop in Broken Recycling System. Plastic wrappers and parcels that start off in Americans’ recycling bins end up at illegal dumpsites and industrial furnaces — and inside the lungs of people by ombx
I don't think plastic recycling was ever as good as it was made out to be, but was hyped up by the oil/plastic industries.

Nah Texas is Texas... People are just really confused about where the border is. It's not the Rio Grande, it's about 10 minutes south of Austin.

My bet is it really won't. I think AR is going to be the next big thing, not VR.

Reply to comment by LeNavigateur in The killer ground drone revolution is here. The Netherlands has deployed four armed ground robots or unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), making it the first NATO country to do so. The robots are Tracked Hybrid Modular Infantry Systems (THeMIS) UGVs built by the Estonian defense company Milrem Robotics. by mossadnik

Garbage in, garbage out. An actual AI meant to screen resume's started blacklisting minorities. Why because they programmed it to look at all the qualities of successful employees by evaluating historical data. So it determined women and minorities were less desirable. Because racism tainted the training data.
