“Out of the people that ever were, almost all of them are dead. There are way more dead people, and you’re all gonna die and then you’re gonna be dead for way longer than you’re alive. Like that’s mostly what you’re ever gonna be. You’re just dead people that didn’t die yet.”—

SUBMISHUN: WHEN THE STORY IS SO GOOD IT HAS TOO MANY ANGLES
News Cat Gif submission is published. Life is now complete.
The very interesting question that has arisen as the U.S. has pioneered this technology is: What happens when the Russians, say, send an armed drone into Georgia to the south claiming that there’s a Chechen terrorist that’s hiding in Georgia? And they have no other way to kill him and so they’re going to kill him with a drone missile?
“It’s going to be a very interesting moment internationally and for the United States, because the Obama administration — if that’s who’s in power — is going to have to say, ‘We accept this because they’re doing exactly what we do,’ or they’ll have to somehow make a distinction between what the Chinese or Russians are doing and what we’ve done in the past.
“Automation has allowed us to compete on a global basis. It has absolutely created jobs in southwest Michigan … Had it not been for automation, we would not have beat our Japanese competitor; we would not have beat our Chinese competitor; we would not have beat our Mexican competitor. It’s a fact.”
This it the kind of article I picture in a sci-fi movie, where the camera pans over old newspaper clippings retracing the past few hundred years and lingers ominously on headlines like “Global Gospel of Automation.”
A definite follow.

First generation starters are done! Whew!
I can’t believe the response this little side-project has gotten though. Crazy! Thanks a lot guys!
And yes, I was planning to finish the 151 at the very least. But I’m pretty busy most of the time so I can’t post these regularly. But I will update when I can. :)
Also, I’ll be responding to the messages some of you have sent… eventually.
Raging Bulls: How Wall Street Got Addicted to Light-Speed Trading
A great longread from Wired, technical yet understandable. Most interesting to me was the last section, where we learn that any data (including tweets and news articles) can be collected and put into an aggregate form, which is then traded on at lightning speeds.
