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, and I hate

I don't trust the ACLU. Black lives matter is about the dragon-king of poverty and crime, not police. They don't get that, and so no solution they offer is capable of engaging the root cause. They don't understand because

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 can say "buy

It is how to "cook the books" on the cost in blood of "social network". Teenage girls with gross depression are committing suicide at like 60% higher rate when they are active on social media. Facebook is absolutely a

None of the "magic smoke" in those chips is made in China. The "secret sauce" is all done in the US, in Oregon and Arizona. The US turns raw silicon into wafers full of chips. The plants in China, as far as I personal

China doesn't believe in IP. Tesla should look within 1-2 years of startup of a Chinese plant for there to be other Chinese plants producing the exact same parts, but not for Tesla. If Tesla puts its "magic smoke" into that

I look at the Joel score. It is simple, and tells me if they are built around making good software or bureaucracy. It they can't make a decent Joel score, or justify why they don't have it, then you are going to spend more of yo

HIV evolves with amazing (super-villian-ic) speed. Many "cures" attack 99% of cells, or similar. Resistance is evolved during treatment, and is usually uniform within just a few months. It mutates/evolves so fast that give

I'm a working engineer in Ohio, and I hope to start this fall. My work covers it, and the content is highly relevant. Folks say institution-X is the same. I haven't seen one. Princeton or Stanford are, AFAICT, stunningly more e

yeah, but the 0.1% also own the politicians. There is no legal way to engage it without something approaching a civil war, or more appropriately, a peasant uprising.

It was a numbers game 20 years ago. The first "gatekeeper" is the computer, and if you don't have enough "keyword match" then your papers don't make it through the first gate no matter how many you send. The
