Plans are to create an interactive hologram of Alan Turing. Should be interesting, especially if we can't tell if it's a computer or a human.

Portland is finally paying the piper. Who wants to invest in downtown Portland? Not many, it seems.
Letting crime go unpunished, letting illegal drug use fester, higher taxes with nothing to show for it, more graffiti, stores, restaurants and nice shops closing. All that eventually has an impact. Why bother? Detroit, here we come.Portland’s apartment-construction slump is deepening to a level the city hasn’t experienced since the global financial crisis, according to new ECONorthwest projections.
The economics firm forecast Portland will field permits for 500 new multifamily units this year, the lowest tally since 2009, as so-called institutional investors such as insurance companies and pension funds balk at funding new construction.
Sad trombone. Even San Francisco is paying the piper. The city is sinking in bad hotel debt.

So why should we? Nike CEO, like other CEOs, celebrities, pollute the skies with their carbon, and don't really care about it. I'll treat climate change like an urgent issue when those who say it is, really act like it is. Until then....

Barton said the county’s extradition requests for these foreign nationals have yet to be approved by the DOJ Office of International Affairs because the feds want Barton and the local sheriff to sign an “assurance letter” committing to share certain information with federal immigration authorities if/when these alleged criminals are released. The federal government has since said it would not extradite these suspects without the signed letter, but according to Barton, sharing this information would violate Oregon’s recently updated sanctuary law, which prohibits the sharing of information that could identify a person’s immigration status.
Remind me again what Oregon is really "sanctuaring".
