US military lawyers will help civilian prosecutors handle cases against undocumented migrants, the Department of Defense said on Wednesday, in a rare use of armed forces legal staff.

Very true

It seems to me this study presumes that people will be honest, and know how to accurately articulate their mental states, motives and so on. As far as I can tell, self awareness and the social landscape at large is far more complex than can be captured in our meager verbal nets.

“They’re taking children away from their mothers! I mean what the hell is going on down there? What low-class moron asked them to do that? Well not on my watch! [..] “I’m a family man, as you will all well know by the way I touch my daughter, so I will not stand by idly while I deliberately make children suffer.”

Bwahahahahaha :) Btw , if you want the news , the real news : "President Trump caved to enormous political pressure on Wednesday and signed an executive order meant to end the separation of families at the border by detaining parents and children together for an indefinite period. “We’re going to have strong — very strong — borders, but we are going to keep the families together,” Mr. Trump said.
The president signed the executive order days after he said that the only way to end the division of families was through congressional action because “you can’t do it through an executive order.” But he changed his mind after a barrage of criticism from Democrats, activists, members of his own party and even his wife and eldest daughter, who privately told him the policy was wrong."

Jupiter's four main moons, the Galilean satellites Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto, are easy to see with binoculars. You can even photograph them with simple equipment. Our guide tells you how.

Despite Trump's executive order ending family separation in immigration, he intends to fulfil the terrible promises he has made, writes Vicky Mochama.

"You think of George W. Bush flying over a drowning New Orleans in 2005, seemingly oblivious to the chaos and incompetence below. Or those weird summer days in 1979 when Jimmy Carter, returning from a self-imposed spiritual retreat, offered the country a sermon on moral drift and then demanded the resignations of his entire Cabinet. (Although maybe Carter’s defining episode actually occurred that spring, while he was vacationing in Georgia, when his fishing boat was chased by a vicious “swamp rabbit.”)"

MA liberal Democrat. The same rhetoric that keeps Dems out of politics.

Fits the media profile of the "press" -- some Ivy league college graduate looking down on anyone but of their tribe.

And once again, won't criticize Obama, who's becoming the Black Jesus (despite not delivering Blacks out of economic slavery).

Then people wonder how they're disconnecting with voters, too? The Carter insult came from the Ted Kennedy wing then, which would be the Daily KoS wing now. You don't unite people reminding them of 1980, again.

Matt Bai, is of the age to remember all this, but repeats history, again.

I'm sharing Russian news from Russian sources. It's all kinda funny because the Ministry of Foreign Affairs doesn't usually get involved unless , well , a person is a bit more than they say they are. Serbian Balkan Insight comments , "In 2010, Russia expelled a political affairs secretary of the Romanian embassy in Moscow after accusing him of espionage. Russian media at the time published a video of him allegedly trading military secrets with a Russian citizen. Romania did not comment of that incident. Diplomatic relations between EU and NATO member Romania and Russia have been chilly for years. Bucharest has staunchly supported an increased NATO presence in the Black Sea to deter Moscow's ambitions."
Hurriyetdailynews , the Turkish newspaper , reports that "A board member of the company that is building Turkey’s first nuclear energy plant has been arrested in Russia on espionage charges, Russian and Romanian media reported on June 20."
Wow , she was no secretary...

The #WaltDisney Company has reentered its tug-of-war with #Comcast over the acquisition of #Fox’s film and #TV divisions with a new $71.3bn bid today. This bid is not only $18.9bn higher than its original bid in December but it has also changed its terms, which had originally offered only stock, to offer a 50/50 split between a cash and stock payout. Importantly, this also is $6.3bn more than Comcast’s all-cash offer earlier this month. This new bid puts Disney back on firm footing in its battle to acquire Fox’s film and television assets, including Twentieth Century Fox, Fox Searchlight Pictures, FX Productions, National Geographic Partners and a majority stake in Hulu.

#Google’s new type of #artificialintelligence algorithm can figure out what things look like from all angles - without needing to see them. After viewing something from just a few different perspectives, the Generative Query Network was able to piece together an object’s appearance, even as it would appear from angles not analyzed by the algorithm, according to research published in Science. And it did so without any human supervision or training. That could save a lot of time as engineers prepare increasingly advanced algorithms for #technology, but it could also extend the abilities of #machinelearning to give robots (military or otherwise) greater awareness of their surroundings.

According to the research, the #AI system could create a full render of a 3D setting based on just 5 separate virtual snapshots. It learned about objects’ shape, size, and color independently of one another and then combined all of its findings into an accurate 3D model.
