Cool. I lived in a vehicle (a car, another car, and then a can) for 9 years to save rent and then to live minimally. It took me 10 years to graduate between work and the echos of the dotcom era messing-up course availability. Doing alright

I know a former NY Daily News and Village Voice writer and merchant mariner in Palo Alto/Campbell/Los Gatos, CA who is disabled and has no money except the paltry Social Security. He's perfectly sane, well-read, highly-intell

I met a girl at a coffee shop with nasal infusion pump and stage IV cancer. She was preparing for her bankruptcy hearing across the street because the doctors and hospitals were taking everything she had and she had to fight to keep some sc

Why are there so many American homeless people? Lack of funds... not the drugs, mental, lazy, etc. excuses. Why are there so many Americans with so little savings and yet hyperconcentration of wealth by a panoply of billionaires? Income ine

For-profit healthcare should be illegal and there should be sufficient doctor appointments to go around. Right now, Americans pay more than anyone, wait weeks or months for appointments, and receive much poorer care than equivalent countri

I have Google Fiber for 70/mo only because of living in a major city downtown core.

Partially correct, except the vast numbers of sensors have additional multiple uses including detailed monitoring, biofeedback, and actual input.

This is great news. Globally, there needs to be mass donations and administration of vaccines to avoid vaccine-resistant virus mutations. I got my Moderna shots, but the rest of the world needs them ASAP to protect all of us too. Also, the

I just had a sleep study with EEG and visual/audio recording. They said sleep efficiency of 95%, yet I almost always wake-up very tired, with a dull/stabbing headache, and sweating around the neck. I also have physiological anxiet

Speaking of BCI, there are startups intent on implanting thousands of nanoscale sensors directly in the brain to gather copious amounts of data directly.

This is true. My mom's old house in a semi-rural/suburban area had an unusually-generous 2 choices of internet: AT&T and Xfinity. Both were slow and expensive. Now, in a small town in a new suburban/residential developmen

At most early projects and cool clients, I'll throw together some goofy custom status pages for internal and sometimes public-facing websites and portals. BSOD, Chuck Norris quote generators, web games like Tetris, and so on.

How to make money: Write a book about "quick and easy shortcuts to get rich." If you really want to get rich via the right mindset gleaned from an actual billionaire, I would suggest the book written by the late Felix Dennis with

The US is completely dependent on China for manufacturing. China is completely dependent on the US for funding development. It would be bad news for either frenemy to start anything major.

MAD. I don't think anyone in the US or China is going to nuke anyone else because of survival instincts. There must be chain-of-command and multi-party custody controls in the militaries of all nuclear powers to prevent unauthorized r

MacArthur was the wack job who, along with Patton and Eisenhower, attacked the poor Bonus Army protestors during the Great Depression. It's pretty much analogous to Occupy Wall Street but with a specific goal.

I like the sound of that. Heck, everything should be like that. Throw away political parties and celebrity popularity contests as leadership selection too. Pick a professional from any of various fields at random to serve as a public admini

Yeah, doesn't that select for the ones who don't get hospitalized? How about overall hospitalizations or is it not used/studied in a prophylaxis capacity?

Legacy advantages in college admissions needs to go away. It's affirmative action for the rich.

It's sorta meritocratic. The world is imperfect but the US is fairly free for individuals as long as they don't step on powerful-people's toes. There are no ideal utopias, nor can there be. Wishing and whining that it doesn&#

It's who you know, not what you know. Being rich and well-connected creates a self-amplifying, "virtuous" circle much like a population differential equation where the rate of increase is proportional to the amount present.

This is insane. I guess it's a best practice to not disclose real personal details for library cards, store discount programs, and such where it's not absolutely required and where it can be avoided.

I guess it would be important to know if anyone internally commented how jumping the queue wasn't a cool thing to do. Leadership internally needs to set good examples and question questionable behavior so folks know the boundaries of

Depression magnifies emotional and physical pain. Lack of recent exposure also makes people weak. They need to get back in practice or it's like they're skipping the gym to veg-out on the couch with Netflix, weed, and a case of Do

1. Find another while still working. 2. Give the customary notice because you're a professional. 3. If it keeps happening, it might not be the jobs or it might be working for other people.

Say there were a command-line or .rc option to confirm you're over age X. How much effort would it be to auto-generate or draw-from a pool of throwaway accounts that over age X?

Fuck American hypocritical Hollywood, puritanical bullshit. Their kids are already watching gay horse sex and sheep bondage by the time they're 10.
