I think it might be more reasonable to say that unkindness is repulsive.

>The guards are exactly who you want in case of an emergency. Many are former military that have honorably served our country.

Nice that they could potentially provide an employment opportunity/avenue for returning service men/women.

Pretty cool. Something is wrong in the top left quadrant though, the graph tooltip becomes a little sluggish when it is anchored to the bottom right of the cursor. Might be related to array reversals, etc.

Look at some of the comments for Satan. They all sound like they were created from the same prompt list and have the same tone/sentiment.

Actually, the sheer number and proportion of reviews with the word Satan in it is ridiculously high...

Also doing a keyword search for "evil genius" is pretty fishy to me...

So does that mean someday I will be able to call in a same-day airdrop of semi-uncommon product x that has been sitting in my amazon shopping cart or wishlist?

It might be visitors from those countries downloading the app via their respective carrier's app "storefront" while visiting a city where the services are offered/operating.

and the ruby equivalent:

  "416D65726963612043616E20436F646520".scan(/../).map { |x| x.hex.chr }.join

  => "America Can Code "

I think the linkage was appropriate. While reading the title I immediately thought about the way a housefly repeatedly rams itself into windows (while not seriously damaging itself) to try and find a way out.

Granted, insects don't fly in bucky-ball-esque gyro cages, but are there any other types of flying organisms that fly in a similar manner? Definitely not birds -- as windex commercials have demonstrated.

Perhaps corporate espionage/sabotage? Or maybe to keep things relatively low-key around the site.

Or perhaps the tech/approach is untested, and they want to do some preliminary tests/dry runs before putting their branding all over it.

These security measures are pretty tame in the grand scheme of things though. I think if google did want to completely mask their involvement, they would have at least issued different badges and credit cards to their employees on site.

Seems pretty telling to me, with the patent and coffee shop cashier testimonial.

I wonder how the hardware will hold up to the environmental harshnesses of the open water? Or even just sea spray...

Oh good, a military R&D lab aiming to develop brain implants...

Is there an equivalent of a tin foil hat that is available for subdermal implantation?

Kidding aside, military research has resulted in some of the most amazing stuff these days... like the entire space program and velcro.
