Humans are still better than computers at interpreting images, but they're too slow. So it makes for the Army's threat-detection system to to use a computer to filter the images to only show the human possible threats.One would think the job would then be for the human to press a button when a threat is detected. However, that's too slow for the computers, so instead they just use an EEG to read the human's brain and sense when a threat is detected. So the human is like an advanced motion detector for the machine.

The Patent office came to StackExchange to ask for help in detecting prior art so patents can be invalidated. If this catches on, it can help reduce some of the rampant patent lawsuit that have been going on. Maybe one day they'll consider crowd-sourcing the actual granting of patents.

Another attack on high-frequency trading, pointing out that they're just 'hacking' the system without providing any benefit to society.
