An Open Source Search Engine to Experiment With

Apache Lucene receives the most headlines when it comes to discussion about open source search software. My RSS feed pulled up another open source search engine that shows promise in being a decent piece of software. Open Semantic Search is free software that cane be uses for text mining, analytics, a search engine, data explorer, and other research tools. It is based on Elasticsearch/Apache Solrs’ open source enterprise search. It was designed with open standards and with a robust semantic search.

Hillary Clinton’s Damning Emails

So, if there is something incriminating – or at least politically damaging – in Clinton’s emails, it’s a safe bet that at least the NSA and maybe the FBI, as well, knows. And that could make life difficult for a Clinton-45 presidency. Inside the Beltway, we don’t say the word “blackmail,” but the potential will be there. The whole thing needs to be cleaned up now before the choices for the next President are locked in.

Natural Pandemics, Extreme Warfare – Most Serious Threats Faced by Humanity

Oxford’s Global Priorities Project has compiled a list of catastrophes – both natural and self-engineered – that could kill off 10 percent or more of the human population: natural pandemics and extreme conventional warfare are the most important global risks, with artificial intelligence (AI) and natural disasters also posing serious threats.

The likeliest risks include nuclear war and pandemics (both natural and deliberately engineered), followed by disasters stemming from runaway climate change, geoengineering run amok, and disruptions posed by artificial intelligence.

‘Think To Speak’ Headset Is Breaking Down Communication Barriers

This development comes thanks to Smartstones’ new mobile sensory speech app, which can be connected to an EEG headset that lets individuals reach out to others via ‘thought messages.’

Scientists Can Now Identify Individuals Based on Brain Waves—And It’s 100% Accurate

…researchers from Binghamton University have found a more efficient way to identify people—using brain waves.

Worth a Look: The Void Generation: How A Generation of Void Restraining Orders Voided the Lives of a Generation

5 Star, Justice (Failure, Reform)

0Shares

The Void Generation is a highly readable account of a series of publishing mistakes by the Judicial Council of California between 1999 and 2007 that resulted in the publication of thirteen (13) constitutionally and statutorily void restraining order forms, which the Judicial Council refused to correct until long after the forms were published. With no valid forms available for them to use, the courts were compelled to issue all of their restraining orders on void and unenforceable forms. The public record suggests these void forms may have caused the false arrest and imprisonment of thousands of presumably innocent respondents-without a warning notice or a prior hearing.

ISIS Camp in Mexico Nearby El Paso, Texas

Several stories in alternative media have come out in the last few months stating there is an ISIS training camp in Mexico across the river from El Paso, Texas. This article is the most detailed I have seen so far, naming a Kuwaiti called Shaykh Mahmood Omar Khabir, an ISIS operative who lives in the Mexican state of Chihuahua, who leads the training camp:

God’s Red Pencil? CRISPR and The Three Myths of Precise Genome Editing

For the last seventy years all chemical and biological technologies, from genetic engineering to pesticides, have been built on a myth of precision and specificity. They have all been adopted under the pretense that they would function without side effects or unexpected complications. Yet the extraordinary disasters and repercussions of DDT, leaded paint, agent orange, atrazine, C8, asbestos, chlordane, PCBs, and so on, have been stories of the steady unraveling of a founding myth of precision and specificity.
