That's a non-answer, so I assume that's a "no" on the wife, kids, and/or letting them pedal through tent city. In any event, homeless people are low on the threat scale because people generally avoid riding a Schwin

Do you have a wife? Kids? Would you let them bicycle through the homeless district? I don't get hassled either, but it's not about me. My job as a husband and father is to protect my family.

There's a lot of "oh well" in the tech space. I was watching something on Pick OS yesterday, which I hadn't even heard of, which was a kind of filesystem/database/OS all together that was, if the comments on th

I set up some Thinkpads from (I think) 2004 to use during Covid when some employees were doing work from home. Replaced the rust drive with an SSD and they used VNC to get onto their work desktops. It's a CAD shop with most everything

It'll be somewhere in between. A lot of capital will be burned, quite a few marginal jobs will be replaced, and AI will run into the wall of not enough new/good training material because all the future creators will be spoiled by

In Jon Pretty's case, if his account is true, it wasn't investigated. It was simply decided in a court of public opinion, quite possibly because of the historical metric you brought up. The only way you can ensure that it stops

The purpose of stocks is to raise money for a company. The purpose of the stock market is to give those stocks liquidity. The further away from this basic framework we go the more dangerous it gets. Derivatives are not inherently antithet

I just made one with a dowel and a big superball, but I've seen one that they put a skateboard wheel (with bearings) on the end so it rolls.

You don't have to hold the stick, generally. For painting, yes, but you wouldn't have to when writing. It would just hold your hand up a little bit. Maybe try a dowel with a glob of clay or something on the end and see? The bigges

Perhaps a silly question, but would something like a Mahl stick help with left-handed writing? Painters and old-school draftsmen use them to keep their grubby mitts off the surface. I suppose in today's public school you wouldn't

Absolutely it's hard work, and dangerous too. In the case of steel, in the early 2000s they would be competing more or less heads-up with foreign steelmakers--mostly Chinese--and that puts a kind of pressure on working conditions. Most
