It can be any colour you like.

Every 20 years, Jupiter and Saturn are in position for a gravity assist, which allows you to reach half the outer solar system. In the 1970s, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto were all in the right half.

Yes, there are quite a few anti-AI projects. https://old.reddit.com/r/badphilosophy/wiki/index

The classic Slow Tuesday Night (1965) by R. A. Lafferty. Sort of post-singularity. I liked the part where they use an AI-assisted ghostwriting machine to spit out a scholarly text in seconds. (People who buy it just read the quick summary.)

THANK YOU! That was it.

He may have been saying Quaeso Te, Non! -- plain vanilla latin for "I beg you, no!"

March 1926 to October 1957 -- It only took us 31 years to get to orbit. And 5 more years to get to Venus.

If only ST:TAS hadn't given us the Holodeck... IMHO TNG would have been better without the holodeck episodes.

Ditto the 1982 Lenell Geter case -- he was sent to prison based on a faulty witness ID. https://www.LenellGeter.com/Content/About/ -- https://exonerationregistry.org/cases/4406

In different states, police use cognitive aptitude tests such as the Wonderlic -- https://jobdescriptionandresumeexamples.com/10-important-fac... -- https://www.practice4me.com/lst-police-exam/ -- these are not strictly 'IQ' tests, but they're very similar.

The Wonderlic might as well be an IQ test (I'm using the term "general cognitive test").

The LST isn't; it's a domain-specific occupational exam.

If you find a place that (1) uses the Wonderlic and (2) has recently (like, not all the way back in 2000) claimed there was a high-end cut-off for applicants, you'll have disproven my claim. I don't think giving general cognitive tests to prospective police officers is common; this is why there are things like the LST, the PELLETB, and the POST.

In 1900, there was a major manure crisis in all large european and north american cities. The swarms of flies were inescapable.

Although certainly the new roads required by increased population caused disruption.
