A stretch, yes. But gone from "ludicrous & delusional" to "proof of concept". Now apply government intelligence service funding, plus no limiting accountability, plus motivation/target.

I gave in-state jobs to show there is a tech environment. Indeed, the goal is to promote remote work, make living there point-and-click easy, and attract a critical mass of introverts who want open spaces and who, by simply being there en m

I just spent 3 weeks in the US Midwest. There is plenty of land to use, thousands of square miles of empty rolling grassy plains. (Ex.: South Dakota averages 11 people per square mile.) Apply a little modern technology (solar/wind, w

However, Google does have legal liability for damages. If you hire me to do a task, and my ineptitude costs you a substantial sum, you can sue accordingly. Google users have reasonable expectations for monetization, and the shockingly arbit

For a while I taught introductory programming to bright-eyed prospective game creators. The analogy I would use up front: driving a car is very different from building one; just because you liked playing games doesn't mean you&#x27

Problem is you need enough "on standby" to run full-output indefinitely ... at a cost high enough that you may as well just use them instead of unreliable renewables. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for renewables. Run my of
