More causes than an assault weapons ban. The harm of the COVID lockdowns, Zooming classes, social unrest and division over some real and some social media-induced idiocy, decline of the family, mental health issues, lax criminal prosecution

And I just can't understand how people use one cause for an effect: London is in the top 10 surveilled cities in the world after China, and UK laws like Section 60 allows stop and search without suspicion. Yeah, it's gun control t

You underestimate the amount of guns that would be made to meet the demand once all free and legal means are shutdown. Have you ever heard of a zip gun? Kids were making these from door bolts decades ago when they couldn't get their ha

Well, California leads the pack on mass school shootings with the toughest gun laws around, and it is the 28th lowest in rank in mental health ranking in 2022 per this reference which weighs 15 factors: https://mhanational.org&#x

I wouldn't call it "unsubtantiated bullshit" or "tenuous at best" claims. They put Kaczynski in the ballpark of being a participant of the MK Ultra program. Do you think they have shared and took away all redacted b

I bought and I was working through the book, "The Handbook of Neuroevolution Through Erlang", 2013 Edition, several years ago, and then I tried to do the exercises in LFE (Lisp Flavoured Erlang). I am more a Lisper than a Rubyist,

They do not pollute heavily fume-wise, and most motorcycles other than Harleys or sport bikes with racing exhausts with the dB component removed are not that loud. I get 60 mpg and the engine is efficient. A car gets half or less that mpg,

The train is not moving or being driven when the doors need to open and close. Why can't one person do it? I am sure there is an interlock, but this makes the tasks sequential, so the doors must be closed before taking off.

<Surpassing Apple. Wow!> Ok, yes, I should have wrote "Will surpass Apple. Wow!" I was basing it on this article that I was reading in tandem with the OP. https://www.forbes.com/sites/bethkindig/202

Car dealers' comfort is proportional to governmental scrutiny and control of their finances and transactions, so I think this is still a big deal as we move further and further away from the ability to independently transact among ours

Yeah, back in my day when we used cash, it was never used by criminals ;) As I get older I want the anonymity or immediacy without a paper trail for normal day-to-day small transactions. For big transactions maybe not. Also, just try and w

Sometimes, but I have been avoiding Starbucks unless I am 'renting' office space there. For a quick coffee the bodega, deli, or Dunkin. Some retailers have made it hard to pay cash by installing card only systems. Others have long

When in reality, being over 65, obese, diabetic, and suffering from hypertension, or otherwise unhealthy, were the major demographic of deaths. Kids were fine. Ah, remember the headlines when Trump was taking it more seriously than the pres

Quite the opposite in my household. I gave COVID to my older and younger children and wife. I wouldn't have known, but I went for a COVID test because I was going to do an inspection at an elder care facility's structure. I would

I am considering Gleam over Elixir and LFE. I like that it is a BEAM language and it resonates with my F# experience. The syntax is cleaner to me than Erlang and Elixir (maybe I would have chosen Elixir if I were a former Rubyist). One majo

I think the price is fair for the amount of content, but my family has been considering leaving Netflix to cut down on screen time and save a few bucks. I picked up YT premium, which saves me a lot of time waiting to skip ads. I wish they h

Solitude: A Return to the Self, by Anthony Storr was a good read, but it's been over 15 years, so maybe worth a revisit. I am sociable, but I don't do much socializing. Rollerskating and motorcycles have punctuated my life with so

Born and raised in Brooklyn, and old enough to remember when the Brooklyn accent was a detriment on job interviews, yet I've bumped into a bunch of people who sound almost like they're from Brooklyn, but they have only lived there

Yes, but even if you take into account regional temperatures over land like in Brazil or Florida vs. New York, I don't see how 1 or 2 degrees F would have a bird go that much further North when it is only for a few months. I proposed a

"Earth’s temperature has risen by an average of 0.14° Fahrenheit (0.08° Celsius) per decade since 1880, or about 2° F in total." [1] So a total of 1.1° C (2° F) since 1880. Could it be something else? Food supply and deforestation

I was studying evolutionary computation back in the 80s. Yes, you did not have the large ANNs you have today, but you also broke down your problem into manageable, computable bits (no pun intended). Working through Koza's book on Genet

You can use words in J and APL by defining them. avg =: +/%# &.> is predefined as 'each'. Same for APL, but the idea is to learn what the symbols mean, so you can keep it concise and think in composing functions and no

So true. I use Termux, but I haven't used an Android phone to replace my embedded stuff. I have used tablets as interfaces to some of my projects. I have an old Keyone Blackberry I should try this with. The real keyboard may come in ha
