MS. Mechanical Engineering
Been programming computers since vic-20 and apple in 2nd grade.
I love Jesus. I love my daughters and my wife. I love my friends and community. These are the best of all I am.
Teens have been a monetized commodity since the birth of MTV. This isn't a surprise. After 40 years, this qualifies as a 'murican cultural value.
China has more. They have enough that this is a drop in the bucket. While they might be as blatant and ineffective as Russia by interfering with an election, they want a low profile and to maximize capture of revenue,…
They are already applying this to foreigners when selecting possible people to track, monitor, or engage.
Hydrogen has hard risks, and high costs. Density. Corrosion. Tunneling/leaking. A new trillion-dollar distribution infrastructure to replace the fluid-version we use for petrol. What about methanol? We can convert…
Welfare is engineered to fail, and it fails. You can't build a system by American political committee and expect it to actually work. There are known good solutions for poverty that work reliably and consistently well.…
The goal is to open the inner solar system for human habitation and resourcing. I'm betting there is a robot on the craft, and its aiming for Ceres. Lets see if the mounting pedestal comes back with enough Iridium to…
They could be saved, but I will not speak their rescue here. There is nobody who would ask or hear it. They could have been saved, and still might. I gave them more than they deserved, better than they could have asked…
Paywalled?
Paywalled.
The US is moving that direction too.
This has been on the menu for a long time. At least 3 years. Who is surprised at this?
Only 1%? My eye. This has smell of Yahoo to it. I bet within 6 months, this goes up toward 10%. I bet they lost their entire data.
The important question: How much money was it worth to Comcast? They have a population of ~136k, comprising 60,503 households. If each currently pays $100/mo for a cable bundle and all abandon them for fiber (a gross…
Wars on poverty often become wars on poor people. I was there when Clinton reduced max coverage to 2 years. It was a sentence of lifetime poverty for people who had no option, and that was strongly enhanced by the…
The 0.1% unilaterally owns the government. Better than half of all laws are made for them. Where do you think the 0.1% stands on the opioid crisis? It doesn't touch them. It is a poverty-problem, not theirs.
Paywalled.
So, they want the password off the list, instead of changing it to something (much much much) more secure? Some variant of "battery horse staple and correct", right?
I wish parents raised children because they love their children, instead of treating them like human cattle. I wish that in-laws were looking to maximize lifelong success of their grandchildren by the selection of the…
This has implications for the economy of prostitution, and pornography.
My 2 year old wanted just one Christmas present. I think that if I had not been a "dumb American" and if I had played with her and the toy instead of urging her to open another present, she would have been happy with…
I like the change over time part. I think in the last election the "lesser of two evils" dominated, and many people who would have liked to vote Democrat but deeply didn't like Hillary had to make a horrible choice. Two…
I think that was using a cliche phrase that has come to mean the opposite of the literal meaning. Who is wealthy enough to own a Bentley? The 1%? The 0.1%? Not me.
So what should my next car be in order to be useless to this algorithm. I don't like being categorized and sifted. Once that information is available, it is always abused. Humans never don't abuse the power they get,…
Grim my ass. How about humane. They make astronomical revenue, and like playing god. They have no problem discarding a cure in favor of a treatment, or raising the price 10,000x when something is popular. Their industry…
Is this written by the Russians? The Chinese? Are you kidding? iPhone or Android? They are both highly porous and highly perforated. Gmail? Chrome? Here is some on secure browsers:…
