Corporate officers using the stockholders money to shield themselves from criminal prosecution is another thing I'm opposed to.

Really should be a law that corporations aren't allowed to lie about legal facts. Court rules the company did something illegal they can no longer say they didn't. Seriously the punishment for that should be the fine is now triple

Rocky Mountain basic had exceptionally nice string handing, array handling and could do matrix math. I think traditional CS hates BASIC because it's hard to get people to look at it in terms of pure math. And it enables muggles to crea

None of the stuff that worked was his idea. The difference between Musk's companies and more tradition one is professional managers as Steve Jobs said are bozo's.

At that price resistive heating would be cheaper than nat gas.

If one were to truly embrace the free market you would allow airlines to compete on the level of security. Maybe say Delta does a full CT scan and chemical tests. American is like getting on BART[1]. And we can let the free market decide th

In California juvenile criminal records get wiped when the person turns 18. You can also petition to get your record expunged. Can be done but not automatic. Easier for minor douchey crimes and unlikely to impossible to serious ones.

In California you don't need an ID to vote. If you aren't registered you can still fill out provisional ballot at a polling place. The problem in the US is each state is basically it's own country. And states are the ones tha

If you ever wonder why resistor values are odd it's because they are logarithmic.

I think the limit to how much solar, wind, and batteries can be deployed is mostly marginal economics. Like how much money is available to pay for it. It's increasing rapidly because it's the cheapest source of energy in most plac

I wrote test firmware for a very early spread spectrum transceiver that used something close to Viterbi encoding. It consumed 220mA in receive mode and 60-120mA in transmit mode. I was told some of that was the RF amps and ADC but a lot of

I see a lot of similarities between Hamas and other violent insurgent groups. They are intransigent and will always chose violence over any other more reasonable option[1]. And take decades of concerted effort to stamp out. The Muslim Broth

Off topic but I've been thinking about the difference in how logic works for programmers, engineers, and lawyers. A programmer can build a complicated logical thing and it'll work reliably. An engine can do that too but it takes a

I think Dometic and Engel sell portable freezers that will do what you want. They run off 12-24VDC or 120/230VAC. My larger one runs off a 100ahr battery for 4 days. You can set the temp from 20C to -4C. They are pricey though $500-900

They could certainly demand the US and Europeans, US and Gulf State to kick down some coin to pay for it. The problem is Hamas is an offshoot of the Islamic brotherhood and so everyone especially in the middle east sees them as radioactive.

And Arab counties won't take them either because they cause trouble. Egypt in particular absolutely refuses to take refugees from Gaza.

The people whining about the Israeli-Gaza war sure don't care about Boko Haram killing 300,000 children in the last dozen years.

A thing that makes other forms of transport slow is called an urban freeway.

Thought of mine from 20 years ago is the power available from fossil fuels has been limited since around 1970. Which is it's very price inelastic. And there will never be enough to pull the remaining 2/3rds of humanity out of pove

Whats going on in Gaza is what normal people disinterested people call war. And that war was started by the government of Gaza. Who's responsible, Hamas. You should really take a hard look at the people you see as champions. Because th

Globalization commingles the economies of different countries. You can no longer talk about the US's labor force and the Chinese labor force as different things. Also rentier capitalism raised labor costs via rents. Bonus: Services are

When you think about it, manufacturing has high productivity growth. While services and other stuff suffers from cost disease. So it was brain dead stupid to encourage manufacturers to move production overseas.

I think calling it a secret is just plain insulting to anyone the bothered to read the drivel. And one is left with the feeling the author has an unstated agenda that's he's too chicken shit to state openly. Whoop de do. The US, W

What you are suggesting is that the US back Israel into a corner with the belief that that'll fix things. That's usually a bad idea which is why countries lead by reasonable people don't usually do that. And you're delus

You're demanding the US government be far more heavy handed in a conflict that is fundamentally unimportant. And the losing side has a decades long track record of refusing good faith appeasement. The US can do far more good by focusin
