I'm not really sure what you mean by free speech here. Do you mean that, if I say "this war is bad!" I may be "arrested" and "tried" and then put in a jail for 15 years (or just vanish, or be dropped from

For instance -- Keno -- It's pay-per-view on a very boring TV show. Numbers bouncing around. Very boring. You pay a dollar or two for 45 seconds of entertainment where you're much more invested in the outcome than, say, if John

A modern (server) system probably has 3-8 of these already, some of them explicitly with independent network connectivity. Trust your vendors, lock down your network, be large enough to build your stack yourself; chose any 2...

People look at the monetary policy side of things, but I think shortages have just as much to do with inflation. If I see there are no eggs in the grocery store, I'm happy to pay whatever they cost next time I see them. If I can only

Unfortunately, although it looks like a TRS-80 100/102, or a wp2, it is actually enough smaller that it looks like you wouldn't be able to type on it. I'd buy something like this if it were the size of a normal keyboard (and

It depends on why you've got a mega yacht. If you're a state level actor, you've got state level security concerns. I doubt, for instance, the American or Russian consulate gets rented out for parties where they turn over th

Probably that implies "36 guests" and their staff and support infrastructure. I doubt when Buff Jezos goes to visit Gill Bates on his super yacht he shows up only with a couple suitcases.

It's been my experience that the a car's last small fraction life, much like a person's, are much worse than the preceding by a huge margin. Seals fail, emissions management devices wear out, fluids start to leak, it's t

Driving is a pretty dangerous activity. The forces involved are enormous. In the distant past, car accidents killed an enormous number of people. Modern cars are safer but driving is still not as safe as other activities, such as sleepin

The government can take your life, property, family, and history. I don't think it is unreasonable to hold "the government" to a different standard than "other people" or "corporations". There is nuance to

Seems like there's a move afoot to re-litigate the French revolution. Is the government for the people or are the people for the government? If the people exist to glorify the government, and the government exists to glorify a person,

Well, the open source part of it is totally abandoned. The internal improvements aren't interesting or available to anyone outside of facebook. The open source version is creaky and very difficult to drag forward to newer versions of t

Totally agree! However, it's likely that one task (going to Mars, even sending a couple rich bozos there) is small enough that you can probably do that and work on fixing things "at home". In fact, one could argue that one se

Those are dumb questions. The only thing that matters is how the org chart is managed, not how the internal tech is managed. Conway's law. How do you manage employee performance evaluations? How do you manage career growth?

Unions are made up of people, and thus can be terrible. Corporations are (according to M.Friedman) Sociopaths guided by attorneys who define what's strictly legal, who's sole goal is to maximize profits. I guess that means there a

I believe the idiom is "the horse left the barn" There are a number of things going on in the world that fall into the "really bad" category of both thing and trend of thing. There's space in between bland acceptanc

Oh, sorry, I didn't actually mean "natural gas that comes from a magic pipe" -- I meant propane that sits in a big tank in the backyard. I know intellectually that they're different gases, probably with different number

What was the thinking around diesel vs natural gas? Do you just use heating oil? How do you manage that it has a limited shelf life?
