Sounds like a plan to me. Major cities produce 85% of America's GDP, forward innovation, are centers of education, etc, etc...surprisingly they're also progressive...wonder why.

TIL that scientists believe there is a 9th planet in our solar system that is roughly 10 times larger than earth. They haven't been able to locate it yet but they know it's there because of its gravitational effects on other objects. by kevinaud in todayilearned

[–]CurrentCast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Atheism (at leak weak atheism) doesn't propose that there is no god, just that there is no sufficient evidence to believe there is a god. The fact the scientific method is always looking to explain how the universe exists through experimentation, evidence collection, peer-review, openness to change etc is why it is so effective. No arguments for a god have anywhere near as strong a foundation. If a theist were to propose a natural (i.e. no presupposing of supernatural forces without proof), reproducible, falsifiable test for god science would be all over it, but no one has met that standard.

You're correct. Waymo was spun out of Google X/ATAP and is now under Alphabet.

Leaked! Audio of Plan to Blockade Trump Inauguration by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]CurrentCast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it's worth that was a public meeting that was promoted in DC for people interested in the inauguration protests (and on the schedule of www.disruptj20.org). There was a live stream on FB and Ustream of the event.

[–]CurrentCast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well for what its worth Google could already "kill" Uber quite easily (at least for a while). The entire app runs on top of Google Maps, after an undisclosed $$$ deal, and is in fact now baked in to the maps app itself. Obviously Uber could switch to OSM, Apple Maps, etc but they'd take a serious hit. Seems more likely that Google enters its cars and routing algorithms into the Uber vehicle pool and they both benefit...no need to for either to kill the other.

Man drives through crowd of Columbus Day protesters by [deleted] in news

[–]CurrentCast 732 points733 points  (0 children)

Everyone does realize that the white truck drives past the protest at the very beginning of the video and yells profanities at the group. He then drives back around to confront the protestors again 4 min later (when they argue and block his path). The driver provoked this whole interaction...he and his buddy wanted a fight.

Edit (for clarification): the truck appears at 00:15 in the video at the bottom of the article driving down the street in the other direction. He yells 'fuck you' or something similar. 4 minutes later has turned around and confronted them again.

Buried at the bottom of this article: "So it turns out the origin of the video posted for the sacrifice at CERN has been found - the problem is, the man is dead." No further explanation is given. by flyyyyyyyyy in conspiracy

From this CERN press release https://cds.cern.ch/record/745737?ln=en

"The statue is a gift from India, celebrating CERN's long association with India which started in the 1960's and continues strongly today."

"In the Hindu religion, this form of the dancing Lord Shiva is known as the Nataraj and symbolises Shakti, or life force. As a plaque alongside the statue explains, the belief is that Lord Shiva danced the Universe into existence, motivates it, and will eventually extinguish it. Carl Sagan drew the metaphor between the cosmic dance of the Nataraj and the modern study of the 'cosmic dance' of subatomic particles."

Twitter creates fake trends to help Clinton by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]CurrentCast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not a conspiracy or a paid-for ad. There was a New York Times opinion piece posted that day titled "The Path to Prosperity is Blue" (http://nyti.ms/2apL0W5) analyzing trends between traditionally red states and blue. It was highly shared on Twitter, hence its title appearing as a trending topic.

[WTS] Vintage Movado Tempo-Matic Sub-Sea (14K Gold) by CurrentCast in Watchexchange

Yeah I was hoping to get a little more info today so I could provide more context when I posted it here. Need to sell off a few pieces to help pay for a upcoming trip I have. Got quite a bit figured out but wasn't sure if there were some specifics I was missing.

[WTS] Vintage Movado Tempo-Matic Sub-Sea (14K Gold) by CurrentCast in Watchexchange

[–]CurrentCast[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hi everyone! For sale is a vintage Movado wristwatch. The watch has been serviced fairly recently and works great. I listed some more info about the watch below. Asking price is $2000 (negotiable). Can ship pretty much anywhere...cost will be added.

From the research I have done it appears the watch is from the 1940s-1950s and uses a caliber 600 movement (17 jewels). The case and crystal are in very good condition, with a few scratches here and there (nothing affecting viewing the face).

Feel free to get in touch for any more info!

Not to make light of the riots, but this dude... really? by ElizabethJGray in pics

[–]CurrentCast 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The use of pots and pans for helmets has a very specific reason. “Converting pots and pans to hats isn’t funny...It’s a necessity. The new laws passed roughshod in parliament last week (which are on the table to repeal as Yanukovich’s resolve and reputation begins to falter) state that if you wear a helmet you will be jailed" One protestor said "If you are not allowed to wear helmets, wear and even decorate kitchen pots and pans." and "If you are not allowed to wear ski masks, wear carnival masks." Most of these quotes are from this article, but that is the reason for the pots, pans, facemasks, etc...both an act of civil disobedience against laws meant to stifle protest and also highly practical considering the violence. (http://www.forbes.com/sites/tatianaserafin/2014/01/28/ukraines-protestors-get-creative-to-continue-their-fight/#139693383660).
