The real question for me is: What is motivating otherwise very intelligent people to promote the idea that AI will take all our jobs and/or enslave us? Possible answers: 1) To prop up their investments in AI to get higher valuation. 2)

In my experience insurance will never make you whole. Stress + time spent managing the debacle @ my bill rate + lost income during repairs + items insurance fails to cover, etc... We've really only had one group trash a house and it wa

I think it would be unwise for your landlord to allow this. They have little to gain but a lot to lose. My wife and I rent two vacation homes on AirBnb and other websites. We started with a one night minimum in the off-season and then qui

Airport and schools have been targets of shootings and bombings. This isn't some wild eyed paranoia. While it nice to know some people would rather literally die than be politically incorrect, I prefer to take caution around people I p

Looking at pics of what she was wearing, I think it's sad that she still doesn't realize she was reckless. I'm not saying she deserved everything that happened to her, but wearing a breadboard with a cluster of lights and a 9

All the tools this guy advocates are already in place. Property tax already reflects the value he's looking to include. Eminent Domain is already available to take land for public use. Gentrification is just about the lamest issue on t

I wish they would stop comparing gun violence deaths and just use deaths from violence. I'm pretty sure I'd rather be shot to death than hacked to death by a machete anyway. The implement (if there is any) doesn't matter as

Most GW people are fooled by randomness. It's just this generations version of how people are going to destroy the world. Every generation needs something to freak out about. Here's all you have to know about sea level rise... W

Hey Rob - Financially speaking (and knowing what you know now) would you do it again? Will you be going through the trash to find your next treasure? Congrats!

I'm not sure why you're getting down voted. You're viewpoint is just as sane as the guy a few comments above (grenzbegriff) who thinks a lot about what he can do, but is too busy making sure he never again needs to work a da

Please tell me the people in charge aren't that stupid. We've been down this road before. The enemy or our enemy is not our friend. Anti-Hezbollah (etc...) sounds great until you realize what they want to replace it with.

I'll chime in for what it's worth. Can you be successful, yes. Can you get funding, yes. But, you won't get funding with an idea and a team of what you think are good programmers. You'll need a good execution of your id

I wouldn't argue with anything you said there. I'm in favor of them improving the service and if that means not being all things to all people, I'm okay with that.

"So why in the world would I pay more money for less storage vs. Google or Dropbox?" If that's the premise you're starting with, then you're already wrong. DropBox 1TB = $9.99/m GoogleDrive 1TB = $9.99/m O

With this decision OneDrive might become usable for the rest of us. While flip-flopping is bad, I think they did the right thing here for their target consumers. OneDrive is no longer a backup and storage cloud service. It's now a do

If you're serious, start by writing headline for at about 50 posts you would write. One you do that, I think you'll have a good idea if you want to continue, what you're blog is really about, and who your audience might be. I
