I’ll take the lessor of the two evils, but we as a country need to do better than this. We are not going to evolve if we don’t make some fundamental changes in our society. We are on the brink, and that is a scary place to be.

“We chase the melodies that seem to find us until they’re finished songs and start to play when senseless acts of tragedy remind us that nothing here is promised, not one day. This show is proof that history remembers. We live through times when hate and fear seem stronger. We rise and fall, and light from dying embers, remembrances that hope and love last longer and love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love cannot be killed or swept aside."

Researchers are developing a system to teach robots how to feel pain.
That might seem counterintuitive, as IEEE Spectrum points out. After all, “One of the most useful things about robots is that they don’t feel pain.” That means “we have no problem putting them to work in dangerous environments or having them perform tasks that range between slightly unpleasant and definitely fatal to a human.”
But the researchers from Leibniz University of Hanover argue that the “artificial robot nervous system” actually makes the robots safer. They say humans working alongside them — using heavy machinery, for example — are also likely to be safer. Here’s more from IEEE Spectrum:
“Why is it a good idea for robots to feel pain? The same reason why it’s a good idea for humans to feel pain, said Johannes Kuehn, one of the researchers. ‘Pain is a system that protects us,’ he told us. ‘When we evade from the source of pain, it helps us not get hurt.’ ”

It’s time to move. Gosh I haven’t done this since 2007 and while I have loved living in Natick, MA it’s time to go. I have many fond memories of the area. My daughter was born in metro-west and brought home to Natick. My son finished high school in Natick. The Boston marathon ran by my apartment yearly in Natick. The Redsox won their first world series wile I lived in Natick. The Patriots won their first superbowl while I lived in Natick. The Boston Bruins won the cup while I lived in Natick. The Celtics won the NBA championship while I lived in Natick. Gosh I hope local Boston sports teams can survive without me living in Natick now that I think about it. Anyway, I embrace my impending move to the North Shore and to Witch City USA. I imagine Boston sports teams will be just fine.
