I worked for a company where they seemed more concerned with tax liability than developing products and securing customers.

I think Will Rogers has a quote that the advantage of giving poor people money is they get to use it for a short time before the rich get their hands on it. In honest economics this is referred to as the propensity to consume. I extend it b

I do embedded stuff and spend a lot of time looking at electric signals. Attitude I have about knowing stuff is asking if I can use it predicatively or for design. I feel that for most attempts at explaining how electricity actually works t

One thing interesting to me is solid state batteries would be a boon battery powered aircraft. Current 150 to 200 miles range. If you double capacity then 300 to 400 miles range becomes possible. My rule of thumb with range is if you can go

I think it's important to separate out pass through expenditures that are just transfers between working class peons and actual public goods and services.

This blathering about the federal budget has been going on for 50 years. What I think if if you want a real discussion then you need to talk about the real federal budget separately from the retirement, income security, health benefits for

£46bn is half the cost of California's high speed rail project. 3.2GW divided by $50 billion is $15/watt. I think wind is $1.5/W. If I was going to gamble money on energy investments I'd invest in solar or wind farms.

One shouldn't discount the cost of just mass. Feels to me eventually products costs are based on manufacturing complexity, material costs, and energy. Material costs themselves are often energy per unit mass.

Part of the effeminacy is they get what they need now not some time in the future. The old school requisition systems where everything had to be approved in advance and the purchase handled by a purchasing agent was slow and inefficient for

You can imagine the robot bolts the integrated motor breaking assembly to the body. And then a tech snaps the high voltage and control connectors together. That's it.

I've decided for the reason managers and marking people and others love LLM's is because LLM's intelligence most closely resembles their own.

The cryptobro's and their meme coins and meme stocks reminds me of the idea that people often become what they hate.

On the flip side you can have some utterly glorious but short days in January. Friend moved to SF for a job and got an apartment in the Richmond because it looks safe. After a year she moved to an apartment at 16th and Mission. Because the

It'll probably frighten and confuse your average pimple faced incelbro that at one time the Social Security administration used paper based manual processes. I've got popcorn ready for when President Musk's incelbro's us

This only a problem if you pass the nested function as a function pointer and you have a machine with a no execute stack. The processors I program for don't have no execute stacks so the use of a trampoline is of no consequence. Also m

Interesting thing about hardware real time clocks. They are usually as bad as the C time API. I worked with a guy that designed three RTC clock cards for an industrial bus system The first had registers for hours minutes, seconds, day, mont

I remember an interview with is it Wozniak where he said he took classes in business under an assumed name. And the professors lesions were often wrong or hopelessly outdated. Outdated like thinking business is like a 1940's toaster ma

Interesting historia I saw. A bus schedule for Geary st from 1924. Buses came every few minutes and took less time than it takes by car today. Just saying electric cars not a panacea for everything.

My take is the accounting economics has shifted to solar and wind. As a result panicked fossil fuel companies and petrostates are spewing a lot of agitprop to gaslight schmucks into continuing to use fossil fuels. But that's not going

A thing I read was the Nazi's changed the rules on how much assets were needed to incorporate. That lead to small businesses either merging or dissolving. Lenny Bruce had a joke about how people got tired of having beat up people thems

Just a note. If the manufacturers can get solid state batteries to the point where they are economic then EV's will be as heavy or perhaps lighter than gas cars. Actually a 50% increase in energy density is enough. And solid state batt

I use gcc's nested functions a fair amount. Because it reduces cutting pasting and makes the code much easier to understand. I use variable argument macro's to implement debug print functions for debugging. And I just leave them i

Unlike the economist I know something about accounting. If there is excess power at zero marginal cost someone cunning is already planning on making some coin off it. As it is utilities with excess solar and wind are rapidly adding battery

The Feds pay about 23% of an employees salary into the Federal retirement system And the employee contributes a couple more. Which is part of the reason Federal employees are paid less. If one is wise in the ways of economics one understand

My dad was a civil servant retired as a GS13. A GS13 would report directly to a division head. Think vice president at a fair sized company. You can see the pay scale for the San Francisco Bay Area here. https://www.opm.gov/
