The Orville is Trek done right. Some laughs and a PC-ectomy making it television that is entertainment and not social engineering. Fuck the new Trek. FYI, I bet the ship was named after Howard Thomas Orville, the first man to survey the entire Antarctica coast and considered the Father of Radar Weather.

CMU -- and Pitt, the other side of Panther Hollow -- has had their own backyard for decades. Issue is it's finally getting connected with the current growing industries. What was keeping this from happening? All you need to do is look at the name of the university. The old money descendants of both the Carnegie and Mellon families have been accused of holding back local business growth for fear of new money overshadowing these old steel mill families in local politics and sheer wealth. IMO, it is not a coincidence that all this new tech an industry has moved after Richard Mellon Scaife died on the 4th of July two years ago. He was grandson or Richard Mellon and, at the time, the only billionaire in the western PA region. A lot of society politics unraveled right after his passing including the local business scene more welcome to outside technology investment. Love to see how the membership lists are changing at the Duquesne Club and the Pittsburgh Field Club for the past two years. Keep wondering of Westinghouse will also make a comeback and go beyond their nuclear power plant business cash cow and into some of their old markets.

4096 yottabytes = 4.096e27 bytes; 2^n=4.096e27, solve for n ... n = 92. Now we know the market for these 128-bit processors!

IMO, the mistake you are making is applying Scientific Method to human behavior. That has been the folly of the left for decades, look for a pattern, keep it to themselves and exploit it. It does not work. If anything, life is an art and what you create of it. Make things instead of trying to treat the whole world population as one big cattle herd, you'll do much better.

Cue the Trump haters! Surprised this took so long. Guess the Donald had to get some ducks in order to, block the J. Edger Hoover style internal backlash to minimize beltway fallout. Also, why is this on Slashdot?

So when will a consumer liability lawsuit be filed when one of these security robots cause human harm?

IMO, we are seeing another bust cycles as big, if not bigger, than the dot-com bust of the late 1990's to early 2000's and before that the "peace crash" of the Cold War ending in the late 80's. With a conservative backlash harder than the Clinton to Bush transition occurring, many institutional investors are holding onto their cash waiting to see where the dust settles. From that, they are not playing as many cards as before while looking for "sure things" over the latest prospecting trend of mobile app driven retail endeavor. Franky, I'm curious to see of Uber, Lyft, DoorDash and others are around this time next year. What is an entrepreneur to do? Look at more conservative endeavors such as next generation products with incremental improvements and servicing infrastructure projects. Again IMO, when Trump is done with his Federal housecleaning and he's reelected into his second term, the economy will upswing and it will be go-go again. However, others will be at the helm taking a more Americana business plan over a globalist view. Perhaps Google and Facebook will be broken up creating opportunities akin to the break-up of Ma Bell in the 80's.

I swear this whole Boring company move is just a diversion to keep press attention off the lack of Tesla's performance and the Model 3 is talking longer than expected.

Go a bit further south of Campbell and you are in Los Gatos. That is Woz's back yard. Would not be surprised if Woz throws some sort of party at his place for select developers. It may even be a "surprise bus" where Apple takes a short list, tells them to get in the bus and they'll find their way at Woz's house up in the Los Gatos hills.
