I was wondering something similar. Often times recent news tends to overshadow search results.

Let me give a practical example. Grand Jury. proceedings have undergone serious reform since the 70s. In some states a target can demand to appear before the Grand Jury. In some states a No Bill precludes the State from representing the case. In others there must be clear new evidence before a case can be represented. I know one state has a three striges rules for GJ proceedings ( sorry don't remember which).

The day before the Michael Brown shooting, a search on Grand Jury Missouri would have found several articles on the specific laws to Grand Jury proceedings in Missouri.

The day the DA announced he would present the case to a Grand Jury, the same search gets hundreds of articles on news story about Michael Brown and Grand Jury proceedings, but it becomes impossible to find those same scholarly articles about the peculiarity of Missouri Grand Jury proceedings. Not even the relevant statutes from the state website.

What can be done to mitigate this effect?

An IR camera spotting a warm object in the snow?

The image of three buxom ( female ) lifeguards running on the beach in skintight swimsuits with their assets bouncing up and down is so much more appealing then a minature helicopter flying over the beach.

CD's always seemed impractical. Probably because they are in a way more fragile.

I still use ZIP drives for some backups ( say my password manager ).

USB sticks are OK but I really don't like their form factor.

microSD cards in an SD card adaptor ( if needed ), seem best. and most easily stored. I just wish they had binder inserts similar to the ones they had for floppies.

You know that sounds really obscene and really really weird..

SATA
and
USB.

I gfigure USB is common but SATA is hard to find.

Since the Corsair RGB keyboard came out I have discovered that there are processors dedicated to managing signs.

You should look into those.

It implicitly presumes that there is some relatively direct casual relationship between the two events.

Fundamental flaw.

Very likely Sony decided that even if all North Korea could do is 3 attacks of theaters like that Joker wannabe a couple of years ago, it would be enough to cost Sony a billion in lawsuits.

Yes.
That's why TV's had screen in screen for thirty years.

The first place to be looted was the QT. It was also the only place ( it was certainly the first place ) to be torched in the first rounds of riots. The word is that there were rumors around that Mike Brown robbed a convienence store and that store called the cops. The QT was mistaken for the convienence store.

One thing is certain, on the side of the QT someone spray painted the phrase "Snitches Get Stiches".
