ARIA v. DARPA
ARIA: 'Officially it is tasked with "funding high-risk research that offers the chance of high rewards, supporting ground-breaking discoveries that could transform people's lives for the better."'
DARPA: Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency - "responsible for the development of emerging technologies for use by the military"
Personally, I can't see much similarity here. In fact one might perceive a total antithesis, depending on whose side you're on.
