I'm skeptical that the USA accomplished Trump's goals with Iran. Yes we bombed some underground facilities. Did we eliminate the enriched materials or their stock of centrifuges? There's no way to know without on-site inspection. At best we probably delayed them for a period of time, but the threat hasn't been eliminated. Now Iran is incentivized to proceed with the assembly of more than one nuclear weapon. I suppose we'll find out the truth during their first live test.

I've been enjoying the cyberpunk series Psycho-Pass. The theme reminds me of Minority Report, although the method of detecting latent criminals is thus far unspecified. It might even make for a decent live-action series. But the cost would probably be too high.

The TV and Streaming Thread: That's Entertainment!
rjshae replied to LadyCrimson's topic in Way Off-Topic
I think if we end up with a single source that supplies only what you want to watch, then we'll then have to worry about monopolistic tendencies from the supplier. I.e. sure we can watch anything, but at a higher cost. Also, with a monopoly, there's less incentive to release quality programming. I don't think there will be a net benefit for the consumer. -

Streaming has the big advantage that you can play a selection right now, rather than waiting to record it. That also permits binge watching. -

That trend has been happening over the past four years, so I doubt it's a seasonal effect. -
