A phone would probably be the most useful sensor. You call the people that laid the internet cables and ask.
It is if you know where to look. 30 years ago only the wealthiest people in the wealthiest countries could have access to a lot of information. Now all you need is to know English and having a reliable internet…

> The only thing that will break this is if demand for labor exceeds supply, forcing employers to hire outside traditional parameters. I don't think that is the "only thing". Many employers look for degrees because they…
If your goal is education there is no need to go to a university anymore. There really isn't even any need to attend K-12 schools. It may be better to go to formal physical schools, but it's no longer necessary. Not by…
Long term the current university system is dead. I expect that some universities will exist for another hundred years, but not in it's current form. Previous decades you had to go to a university to get access to…
It's amazing that you had to go to China to get a idea of how Capitalism should actually work. Freed markets for the win.
It's entirely possible for a wage earner to become a millionaire in the USA. Anybody with a middle class income can do it. It's not even complicated or hard to figure out. The problem is that it requires discipline and…
For several years I ran a 64bit kernel with 32bit userland. That way I was compatible with games and most other things without having to deal with increased memory usage and compatibility hacks.
Although the Soviets certainly were mass murderers before WW2 and British and USA still sided with them. Hitler was elected under the pretense that he represented socialism that was friendlier to the middle class and…
The reason it sold at half it's valuation is because the valuation was bullshit. It's like some guy claiming his classic car is worth 25,000 dollars. If nobody is offering 25k for it then it's not worth 25k. Period, end…
It's ok to say that you don't really know for a fact and that you are just making assumptions. It doesn't mean you are wrong. It just means that you don't have anything backing your opinion.
It doesn't really matter. With Linux desktop improving and Microsoft 'WSL 2' Apple is rapidly losing it's relevance.
You don't need to run NAT to have a firewall. Even a stateful one.
If you hide something on my car to spy on me then it's not reasonable to expect it back if I find it. Charging somebody with theft for something like this is effectively rewarding the police for being incompetent. One…
Finally. A 1980's videogame car. The future really is now.
Many people in the USA observed the same thing. That's what the term 'yuppie' implied for a lot of people. All these people from the late 1960's and 1970's that spoke about dropping out or how awesome it would be join a…

Even if it was serious you'd have to wait for the patent-enforced monopolies to expire before there is significant benefit to us normal people. This is one of the reasons why everybody is running around with 18650…
The most important thing I've learned from watching Cia and FBI shills being interviewed on CNBC is that in order to preserve our rights we must first be willing to surrender them. Security and privacy are not…
The same can be said of probably most disorders listed in the DSM. Mental disorder diagnostics are all 'Design by committee'. People get together and vote and they are argue and they create categorizations based on…
You'd have to fire all the people in the top positions of the Federal government. People want to eat yummy sausages, but they don't want to know how sausages are made. This is how sausages are made if you define…
This is normal. The only people who are experts in a particular industry are the people running the businesses that make up that industry. So the government, in order to try to make rules that don't suck, depend on…
