— Ace No shit, really?
Simply by delving into volunteersÂ’ Likes, the researchers could determine in 95 percent of cases whether a person was Caucasian or African American and in 88 percent of cases whether the person was heterosexual or homosexual. They could determine whether the person is Christian or Islamic 82 percent of the time.
Well blow me over with a feather.
Person of Interest had a funny exchange about this. Finch is brilliant, mysterious blackest-of-black-vaults NSA computer/surveillance technologist who's invented a computer so powerful at extracting and analyzing data it can actually predict crimes 48 hours before they occur; Reece is his CIA partner/pointman.
FINCH: This person has no digital fingerprint whatseover. No social media presence at all. Most people put a lot of their lives on social media now.
REECE: We used to love those people, back in the CIA. Social media always made it easy for us to find them.
FINCH: I know, that's what I invented it.
REECE: What? You're saying you invented social media?
FINCH: It was too difficult trying dig all this data out of people. I realized it would be easier just to have everyone volunteer it.

I'll slap conventional wisdom upside the head.
While battleships may not have been the queens of the fleet anymore, they were still pretty damned effective and useful in WWII. I know there were only two allied battleships/battlecruisers sunk at sea by aircraft. I can't swear to it but I'm pretty sure if you add up bb losses to aircraft at sea vs losses to gun fire at sea it is a pretty even split. The fast battleships made excellent carrier escorts. We would have had a much more difficult war without the last three classes of bb's.

After shooting it down, he orders another one.
After downing that one he orders a third.
