The Star Trek TOS look to these systems are one of the reasons I went into Electrical Engineering/Comp Sci. My dad and I went to the annual University of Wisconsin-Madison Engineering Expos in the 70s, and they would be showing off the

Agreed. I've had to do outdoor winter work the last few years in Alaska, and I can attest that will burn those calories off.

I couldn't try out Gemini with my Workspace account without jumping through hoops, so I skipped it. Ironically, I'm finding that the Workspace restriction on many Google apps is actually saving me from a bunch of recent Google non

I've also noticed on some of the featured videos that there are some perspective/parallax errors. The human subjects in some are either oversized compared to background people, or they end up on horizontal planes that don't l

It seems that rebellion is getting more difficult, either because of better surveillance or social media. It was originally thought social media would increase rebellion and revolution (e.g. Arab Spring). But social media also makes it much

Have you looked for an independent Direct Primary Care doc? I use one in Wisconsin in addition to my usual PCP for routine stuff, vaccinations, lab tests, etc, and it saves me 90%+ off what I would pay with my PCP. My PCP is just essentiall

I got trained in NASA soldering standards in the early 80s. Worked as a tech in college helping build test harnesses for an X-Ray telescope that was to fly on Challenger. Got delayed after the accident, but I think it eventually flew 20 yea

Every generation dreams about this utopia, and goes through the same philosophical arguments again and again. They even try it sometimes, through different flavors of Marxism, communism, hippie communes, farm communes, co-ops, kibbutzim, pi

Excellent background, thank you. "presuming the goal is maintaining a liberal democracy, modulo what's minimally required to maintain Israel as a religious state" - squaring that circle is going to be tough in the long run.

"Inclusion in an NLM database does not imply endorsement of, or agreement with, the contents by NLM or the National Institutes of Health." - good. I was wondering how the NIH got involved in this

Good points. I keep Auth backups in my pw manager for convenience also, just because I don't know of a better way other than printing the qr code and stuffing in my desk. I'm not worried about a general cloud beach as much as I am

If your password manager is hacked, but your TOTP info is offline, how is this not better that having TOTP info in your password manager? Also not sure how syncing through a cloud drive is any better than a cloud password manager.

This is exactly it. Doesn't matter how liberal or "hip" Austin is. It's the state-level that's bad. I have two daughters child-bearing age, and I live in Wisconsin. Same issue. Thankfully one has moved to Oregon. Th

You're lucky coffeeshops are open until 6. Most are closed up by 2 or 3 around here (upper Midwest).

It's remarkable that the paid version of Google accounts is in many ways a second class citizen to the free accounts. The only thing I have Workspace for is the custom domain, but that makes it incompatible with many other Google produ

You'll probably get a bunch of responses about colonization, but it is a good question. In Alaska it is even more of an issue. There are lots of hidden costs related to AK Natives and others living in remote villages accessible only by

I was upset when I found out my 3 yo ThinkPad couldn't upgrade to W11. Now I'm glad I was prevented from doing it. When W10 runs out of security updates I'll just go to Linux. I love my ThinkPad. I just hope by that point I f
