I really enjoy the data addons for IPad and Apple Watch because they allow me to be connected without having a phone in my pocket. What I desire is connectivity (be able to see messages, make calls, etc), but iPhone often encourages discon

We either need a much lower standard for anti-trust breakups or we will reach the day where corporations are more powerful than national governments. Tech gets a lot of the focus on anti-trust concerns, but we have similar threats almost e

Consumer ignorance is not an excuse for a crappy market. Consumers should have access to advice from a third party. When I want finical advice I hire an expert that gets paid the same no matter where I invest my money, because his incentiv

The healthcare system is not a free market. 1. It’s very hard to shop around to find better prices or better service. 2. People often make choices like “Do you want this expensive life saving procedure or not?” 3. The average person isn’t i

The current homicide clearance rate is 61.4% (That’s only arrest, not a conviction). If resolving the adversarial relationship between citizens and police would improve that then it’s something we should explore. Right now I’m not sure how

I think the current situation where a herd of deplatformed white supremacist and conspiracy theorist cultist can hijack your community is dystopian. Leaders in a community should be given the power to determine who is and isn’t a part of i

This highlights a need in the market for tools to help moderate a community. Imagine a tool that automatically detects hate speech and either auto-deletes or brings it to a moderator’s attention. Certain communities are being highjacked b

The problem with adulterated products is that they are inconsistent. It’s adulterated with both active and inactive compounds, and the strength varies significantly. There are overdoses related to “hotspots” of fentanyl. Yeah, an opiate ad

A significant portion of the risk of using opiates recreationally comes directly with interacting with the black market. Opiates sold ‘on the streets’ are more expensive, adulterated, and inconsistent. The risks of taking opiates with acc

What is the rate of data processing of a human’s sensory organs? Until VR output data at that rate to every human sense being in VR will be less stimulating than being in real space. I think this is especially true of social environments,

I think over the next 10 years governments, scientists, and businesses are going to be asking themselves how they can be prepared for the next pandemic. This will make governments more likely to approve a fast track for the mRNA platform,

I think the firms do not want to be held responsible for hosting discussions that lead to violence during the transition of power. January 6th made organized violence look like a more real possibility.

Yeah. Red/white looks like the pool of possible patterns might be relatively small, and you can carry 50+ rolls of retro reflective tape in a backpack. If you knew every variation it would be easy to carry them to an event, and then a

I consider an air gap to be a computer that is not connected to the internet, and is not networked with another device that connects to the internet. A robotic tape library might fit that definition, and it might not.
