That still doesn't change the fact that I'm willing to bet my manhood on non-ITER derivates achiving commercial viability before ITER-derivates.

Why I can do that bet in good faith is that the ITER roadmap doesn't reach commercial viability until the end of my life, and with delays that always are inevitable on a project of this scope you'll at best recover my rusted balls of steel from my grave if the bet goes against me.

Did you really need an article to figure that out?

I read about ITER as the future of fusion a decade ago in popsci.
The same article today would be identical.
And so would it be in 2024 when the mess is finally finished.

Meanwhile several different small scale projects that have emerged from obscurity during the last decade have put commercial viability goals within the coming decade.

A coal power plant that requires an olympic torch to ignite the fuel would be more viable than ITER.

Making the dead walk again isn't a planned feature until the 2.0 version.

You need a 200kW strobe light with high speed electronics and triggers.

Simply lower the light so that everyone will end up using flash on the limo. Upon detecting a flash signature, instantly trigger the anti-camera device.
Now everyone have a suntan, and the photo taking was effectively prevented by giving a pure white picture as the result.

Don't worry, the guests will be able to see again within 30 minutes

Princeton will have the last laugh as facebook will be dead before it.

In other countries some functionary will come up to you and say "put that away please".
Then they would politely ask you to leave, and then sternly ask you to leave. Then a security guard would forcibly haul you off the property.

Only in the US is are you getting law enforcement jumping to the opportunity to bust a guy a with a recording device in a movie theater. I bet they had the black helicopters and swat teams ready too.

The way I understand it is that it identifies recurrent features and learns them. Meaning that giving it a huge image library with no labels would mean it can recognize say, roses, but it would call them "object 193131", not "rose".

Found in the constellation Cancer - Ironic

The US will have spy satellites riding piggyback on all satellites and peeking into the windows of space stations.

I guess this was a...
STICK-up.

Or the wall if you're so inclined.

The internet made me ambidextrous.

Who cares about the fucking moon, it's a huge fucking desolate wasteland. Save for boots on the ground there no one is going to claim all of it. By the time someone starts an industrial plant up there you'll have all other aspiring world power nations shitting their pants and pouring billions into competing projects so you'll be lucky if you claim a crater or two for yourself.

In the end it will be economical trade anyway. Someone will be sitting on surplus steel and someone will not bother to send a fucking smelting plant for 25 billion to the moon.

Akira - based on a real story.
Doesn't seem too appealing to me.

The judge probably has his hands full of all the money he got as part of the deal.
