The moment shit got real
The Robots Come to California June 5-6
In the next challenge, programmers will compete to see who’s robot will be first to catch a fleeing human. In Step 1 of the challenge, the robots will be instructed to apprehend a middle-aged woman, with child in tow. The programmers have instructed each robot that the woman is suspected of stealing baby formula to feed her starving baby, violating government regulations. Each robot will have years of police training at their disposal thanks to the engineering teams behind each robotic challenger.
Step 2 of the challenge requires a bit more skill. The programmers will really be tested by attempting to disarm a Christian Midwestern NRA member walking on a sidewalk to protest stricter gun laws. They will attempt to instruct their robots how to outwit an armed male who knows his rights! At the robots disposal will be hundreds of thousands of case related videos on YouTube showing how the human police force handled such situations in the past. This is going to be a real treat to watch unfold!
But our final challenge will really test the speed, endurance and strength of each DARPA Robotics Challenge competitor. Today, we unleash the ultimate challenge. Our group of robots and their human engineer counterparts will have to devise a plan to incapacitate an unarmed teen, with a suspicious bulge in his pants, running full speed in the other direction. He is full of fear, so each engineer has alerted their robots that the suspect must be considered dangerous. Once again, the robots will have a live stream of police training films to rely on when things get heated. If you think Stop-and-Frisk was fun, wait until you see today’s DARPA Robotics Challenge finale!

Coming soon - June 2015 - The BitPay Klondike
The BitPay Klondike that we are announcing today is the first bitcoin mining rig of its kind. When a car has the BitPay Klondike installed, it can reclaim up to 17% of this kinetic energy generated by braking and stores it in a compact, custom-engineered lithium ion battery which powers the internal bitcoin mining ASICs. Electric cars such as the Tesla currently use a similar system called Regenerative Braking, to harness this recycled power and further power the vehicle. Instead, the Klondike uses this energy to generate revenue by mining bitcoin.
"The hardest part of being in a biracial relationship is taking a picture together."
UC Berkeley scientists have developed a system to capture visual activity in my brain and reconstruct it as digital video clips.
Eventually, this process will allow you to record and reconstruct your own dreams on a computer screen.
