01 Oct 2023  |  www.vice.com
The US Navy is advancing its use of robotic technology by developing 'drone gunboats' to enhance naval warfare capabilities. These unmanned vessels, developed with NASA technology, aim to protect larger ships and perform coordinated attacks, reducing risks to human lives. The CARACAS software, adapted from NASA's Mars Curiosity Rover, enables these boats to operate autonomously, making tactical decisions in real-time. Successful tests have demonstrated their potential, and experts highlight the strategic advantages of such technology. The initiative also aims to cut costs and personnel requirements, with potential applications in commercial sectors.

Rescue operations are ongoing, with 12 confirmed dead and 24 bodies still on the slopes. The eruption, classified as 'phreatic,' released ash and steam rather than lava.

Scott Bauer from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife highlights significant water diversion by marijuana growers, impacting local ecosystems.

The state has introduced fines and enforcement teams to combat water theft, but the growing number of cultivators and high market demand pose ongoing challenges.

How the Ku Klux Klan Helped Republicans Win Voters in the US South

15 Dec 2014  |  www.vice.com
A study by academics from Yale, Brandeis, and Notre Dame reveals that the Ku Klux Klan's activities in the 1960s had a lasting impact on shifting voter allegiance in the US South from Democratic to Republican. The research highlights how radical social movements can influence mainstream political behavior and how historical voting patterns can become entrenched. The study also discusses the broader implications of extremist rhetoric on political and social dynamics, with insights from the Southern Poverty Law Center. The article contextualizes these findings within contemporary issues, such as the protests in Ferguson and Staten Island, and the ongoing racial and political tensions in the United States.

Atheists Are Banned From Holding Public Office In Seven US States

10 Dec 2014  |  www.vice.com
Seven US states, including Maryland and South Carolina, have constitutional provisions that prohibit atheists from holding public office. Despite a 1961 Supreme Court ruling against religious tests for public office, these outdated laws persist. Activists and organizations like Americans United for Separation of Church and State and Openly Secular are working to remove these bans, though the process is complex and politically challenging. Polls indicate significant public disapproval of atheists, further complicating efforts. The article highlights the need for greater political organization and influence among atheists to address these discriminatory practices.

An audiotape allegedly recorded by Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was released, suggesting he is alive despite reports of his death.

Video Shows Al Nusra Tanks Pushing North Towards 'Another Kobane'

12 Nov 2014  |  www.vice.com
A video surfaced showing Jabhat al Nusra's armed convoy entering Khan al-Sabeel, signaling a potential threat to the Kurdish enclave of Afrin. Kurdish leaders Cemil Bayik and Hevi Mustefa expressed concerns over the safety of Afrin's residents and the possibility of an attack similar to the siege of Kobane. The Syrian government has withdrawn from Afrin, leaving the YPG in control. Despite calls for support, Turkey's response has been limited, raising questions about their stance towards the Islamic State and Kurdish autonomy. Allegations of Turkey's collaboration with the Islamic State have also surfaced. Al Nusra, known as al Qaeda's Syrian wing, has been focusing on opposition groups, including the Kurds, and there are concerns over increased collaboration between militant groups due to airstrikes on the Islamic State.

A Law Designed to Target Coke Lords Is Screwing Over Legal Pot Companies

05 Nov 2014  |  www.vice.com
Legal marijuana businesses in the United States are facing financial difficulties due to a federal tax law, section 280E, originally designed to target drug traffickers in the 1980s. This law prevents businesses selling Schedule I or II drugs from deducting regular business expenses, leading to effective tax rates of 70 to 85 percent. The National Cannabis Industry Association and business owners like Mitch Woolhiser and KC Stark express that this law is unfairly penalizing legal cannabis companies, and there is a call for Congress to reform the tax code, especially as more states legalize marijuana.
