What were the companies you contacted asking for? Someone to do a project? someone to fill a job position? Someone asking how to do a WP site?

I pre-date cable TV. There was a debate amongst the adults whether the community should allow cable TV in, given the infrastructure and tax costs involved.

Why have a goal? Oftentimes it is the journey that is the most important, not the destination.

Why does he have to finish anything? TFA even says "I don't expect to finish." The Mona Lisa is unfinished and Leo spent 16 years on it.

Old man yelling at clouds here. These same arguments were brought up with cable TV back in the day; one of the benefits of cable TV, we were told, was there wouldn't be any ads since we were paying for it. "There's nothing ne

They should explain what it _does_. I looked it over and I still have no idea why I should install it other than it uses $CURRENT_FAD.

Nope, you're not the only one. I do the exact thing, including saying "Rewrite the following, don't make it too formal". I think the results are excellent.

I assume asking for "quantifiable fields" is akin to requesting "return the data in JSON format", yes? How do you do the tagging bits, though?

Good idea IMO. I'm wondering about the (not necessarily financial) ROI. I don't know many small businesses that could afford it and I think the the load on the tech volunteers would be too large. Happy to be proved wrong, though.

Glad to hear it. I agree it's well written. I was doing okay up until the co(ntra)variant tensor part. My brain is going to get a helluva workout trying to follow this. :-)

Huh?! I despise their recommendation algo. So much so I've stopped clicking on even mildly-interesting-looking vids on my YT (Premium) home page. I watched one, ONE, video about James Randi; the next day half the recommendations were

Sounds like you read Peter Zeihan too. :-) As a matter of fact, he published a video today talking about this topic in some detail. You can find it on YT with the title "Semiconductors: China's the Odd Man Out".
