I didn't know about the book, but I'm finding nothing at all to indicate that he's ever lead employees in singing hymns. At Intel his boss was a secular Jewish man, and so was his CFO. That leads me to doubt that it ever happ

I got to meet several of Intel senior management when Andy Grove was CEO, Gelsinger was CTO, and Avram Miller was CFO and a pioneer in corporate VC. Even somebody universally acclaimed as smart and hard-working as Lip-Bu Tan will find it im

If I can plausibly say I'm making something super dangerous, the government is likely to want to be the first government to have it. If the check clears before they figure out if I'm BSing them or not, it's a win.

I've seen a lot of un-seriousness about security. One that's easy to spot is old unpatched IP phones that aren't segregated on the network. I've given demos at companies that are serious, where a device I accidentally le

Given a last-minute announcement of a new vehicle in a crisis situation, that vehicle can't be too different from what already exists.

That salute was too much even for the AfD. That it's not obvious to every American is an indicator of just how thoroughly boiled are we frogs.

Personal computers were used in office environments long before the technologies to make them administer-able as if they were a mainframe. Before blindly jumping in and reproducing those technologies, better to ask why they emerged in the f

Future archaeologists are going to chronicle humankind's stupidity by the lead layer, the atom bomb testing fallout layer, the PFAS layer, etc. All of these were made possible by a misplaced sense of scale. Yes we can poison the whole

There are so many ads for nostrums, cults, get rich quick scams, and other junk that violate TOS, that Meta has a legitimacy problem with their TOS.

Show me one big city PD that isn't corrupt enough that this is just a minor corruption snack to them.

They shorten the yellow light interval to gain more revenue. It's an irresistible corruption when working on a revenue share.

Legacy local news is highly dependent on the police for content and access. No surprise.

"Garrett Langley" sounds like what they renamed the villain in Le Mis for an American audience.

They will never lift much. If they were strong enough to lift heavy objects they would be strong enough to kill you accidentally. There's no technology fix for that.

TSLA at $150 would still be a phat valuation. The best that can be said for that number is the Tesla lacks a lot of the baggage of legacy car OEMs. Their current cars are still competitive for three or four more years, but I don't see

Balderdash. Russia has elections. There are plenty of places with elected governments that don't rise to the definition of democracy. We can't really claim to be a democracy without citing the caveats that our elections are bought

Is that 40,000 number going to turn out to be the nurse Nayirah of Iran? Does that number come from a credible NGO? Is there a mass grave in a known location? Grieving mothers? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_test

An irony is that guns are vastly more often used for self harm than for self defense. These supposed defenders of rights are often losing their own lives and the lives of family members with the instruments they demand to have a right to ha

Not just Windows. If you use an Android smart phone (and it might be just as bad on iPhone I just don't know) you see AI features occupying the last scraps of user interface real estate in the form of edge gestures that half the time g

Compared with the logistics of moving that much gold safely, "moving" it by selling it and buying the equivalent in less fraught location need not be that much slower.
