CEO's are always leading with short-term gains. Chat bots and AI are only going to be as good as their learning models, which also have to include (in this specific case for customer service) learning through recorded interactions with people. As technology changes, without humans actually answering phones and troubleshooting real-time, the AI will be left to original equipment manuals (OEM) for guidance, and any FAQ's that may (or may not) exist).
OEM's only cover a limited range of issues. Long-term consequences are that AI won't be able to properly direct future customers because they lack the nuance of human to human interaction as tech and social norms change. Imagine talking to an AI that learned all it's interaction with humans back in 1960.
Earth Final Conflict is also an interesting series. It was developed by Roddenberry, and produced by Majel Barret. I enjoyed watching it when it was in syndication.
I think it depends, on a few factors. Patel and Pike were both around the Neutral Zone at the beginning of the episode (A Quality of Mercy), so the Enterprise and Cayuga are in general proximity to each other. Patel mentions that she has a "date on the far side of the Neutral Zone," so I think it's safe to assume here that they are headed in opposite directions.
Dependent upon how much time the episode actually covers; how much time elapses between the Enterprise and Cayuga going their separate ways and Pike making their way to Outpost 4 (I assume they traveled there), that would take some time.
This also depends on where and when Una turned herself in too. She would have sent the message to Starfleet, who would in turn have to contact the nearest ship (here the Cayuga), and then have Patel rendezvous with Enterprise.
I think a week is a conservative estimate...but I'm also looking for Stardates, and unfortunately I can't make any sense out of them.
Faced with composing a new Star Trek theme for the film, Goldsmith initially struggled for inspiration, and proceeded to compose as much of the score as possible before the need to develop the main title theme. His initial score for the scene in which the newly-refit Starship Enterprise is revealed to the audience was not well received by the filmmakers, director Robert Wise feeling that it lacked a strong thematic hook and evoked sailing ships. Though somewhat irked by its rejection, Goldsmith consented to re-work his initial idea and finally arrived at the Star Trek theme which was ultimately used.
The theme is distinct. I had always correlated the theme with TNG until I watched The Motion Picture several years after TNG. I did not recognize that the theme was used in both. It's amazing because it almost didn't exist, and was composed after pretty much the rest of the score was complete. Goldsmith had to rework it because the director wanted a "strong thematic hook."
During the hearing Una was asked when she told Pike, and it comes out that 4 months had elapsed. I don't recall if it's four months between her telling Pike and turning herself in, or her arrest.
She didn't have Pike cover for her because she turned herself in. When exactly that happened in the four months between her telling Pike and her actual confession is unknown.
Exactly this. A captain could hold a rank of Lieutenant, based upon the size of his ship/or command. For instance LT John F. Kennedy was the captain of PT 109. Destroyers captains often have the rank of Commander. Air Wing Captains are usually captains, as well as Aircaft Carrier captains.
Generally the rule in the U.S. Navy is that if you are the commanding officer a ship or a boat, you are its captain regardless of your rank.
It seems that fan feedback is one of the reasons SNW exists. Which is fine; fan write-in campaigns and petitions are central to Star Trek.
I do agree that a series outside TOS would be enjoyable, however that doesn't seem to be in development right now (actually nothing is really in development right now). More than likely, I wouldn't be surprised if Paramount pushed Star Trek: Legacy as a series after reception to the finale of Picard.
Agreed, it's an appropriate headline. The lede clarifies why he's disgraced.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Disgraced sports doctor Larry Nassar, who was convicted of sexually abusing female gymnasts including Olympic medalists, was stabbed multiple times during an altercation with another inmate at a federal prison in Florida.
I disagree. I really enjoy this show and I can give the writers some creative license as a prequel for a show that's almost sixty years old.
Spock has to have a moment of crisis that brings him to the state of character he's in in TOS. I think there's plenty of room to breathe over the course of the show to allow that. I haven't watched The Cage in several years, so I don't exactly recall, however from what I do recall, Spock shows a lot more emotion in the pilot vs. the beginning of the series with Kirk.
That episode is forever known as the "Enterprise Bingo" episode. I absolutely loved the sub-plot with Una and La'an. It's one of my favorite episodes of Season 1.
Nothing ever replaced Google+, which was really popular in my own tech circle.
Except Slack and LinkedIn already kind of fed that niche.
Regardless...the article is pretty much spot on. It's fairly obvious that social networks are going to come and go; we've seen that over the past few decades. Every iteration of social media will revolve around the tech of the hour. I like ActivityPub and Federation because it brings additional options to the user base. It's an exciting shift.
