The odds it figures -- i didn't know electronic computers figured odds, did you? >> no, i've never heard that before. that was new to me tonight. >> we may be able to find some other kind of work for the 501 when the election is over. >> it can compute odds? maybe there will be some other kind of work for that there computing machine after this election is over, fellas. nbc's whiz bang rca 501 computer. it did get the election results right basically, on that election night in 1960. the nbc computer did pick kennedy. i should tell you that abc and cbs also unveiled their own computing machines...

Like, you know, hydrogen powered cars and jet packs and futuristically hypermodern stuff, just some basic systematic safety upgrades that would take advantage of the fact that we are now a society that has things like computing machines and gps. this is not the most high-tech stuff. what they mandated for the u.s. rail system is something called positive train control. a very basic avoidance system that reduces stupid operator error or a train conductor having a heart attack at the engine. it reduces the chance that something unfortunate but human and predictable like that could result in a tr...

In the u.s. would have to get just slightly more modern, not like, you know, hydrogen powered cars and jet packs and futuristically hypermodern stuff, just some basic systematic safety upgrades that would take advantage of the fact that we are now a society that has things like computing machines and gps. this is not the most high-tech stuff. what they mandated for the u.s. rail system is something called positive train control. a very basic avoidance system that reduces the risk that stupid operator error or a train conductor having a heart attack at the engine. it reduces the chance that som...

Got to the technical debt ceiling, and they thought they had taken care of it, they thought they averted the crisis. but in getting so close, in getting within a day of the deadline, they actually got too close, and treasury bonds that were due to be paid off on april 26th and on may 3rd and on may 10th, all of the bonds that came due on those days didn't get paid back on time. sorry, glitch. we got too close. system overwhelmed. software couldn't handle it. we apparently didn't know how to use those newfangled computing machines at the time, and the treasury was unable to make all of the paym...
