Predict and Serve<\/h4>\n\n

\nThe Santa Cruz Police Department takes a chapter out of a Philip K. Dick science-fiction tale when they begin using an algorithm to predict the locations and times of spikes in crime.

The future is here. \n<\/p>\n

No Mo’ Money<\/h4>\n\n

\nSan Jose budget cuts go into effect, which means police layoffs, gang task force stripped in half, libraries and community centers closed, etc. More brutally, the number of quality Thai restaurant dips from a respectable 1,400 to a measly 862. \n<\/p>\n
