   I have been having more 'luck' with those factors and less luck with physical comfortability (I don't mean air conditioning; I have that). Also, timing. It is very true that it is becoming hard to monetize knowledge. The dept

   Might not be a popular argument, but just because they are black or Asian doesn't mean that is necessarily the reason, as opposed to a relative reason. Sort of like sickle cell is almost always in black people, and asian languages are

   Having enjoyed the phreak subculture from the time I was a wee child, and truly learning so much about the way the world (and network optimization) worked through telephony over decades, this just makes me sad and sick. I am not suggesting

    You sure? I am pretty sure you need something like, "Child! If you do not finish your chores, I will not allow you to use the PC to do anything other than read the HowTo.com webpages on how to do housechores. Ergo, you will be unable t

    In your framework, can't this be said for all jobs in the long tail of technological development? This is also assuming we get to a point where there is no need for a human to coordinate models and prioritize tasks, otherwise the job w

    I used to work in fintech (back when Glass Steagall was a thing people cared about), and I am sort of perturbed by modern KYC requirements. Do they make sense for large transactions? Could be, not that any of that stops fraud from corporati
