That post is sarcasm. Wildlife managers want to teach bears that humans are not a food source and should be avoided. Otherwise the bears can get aggressive and may even have to be killed. It's as much or more about managing human behav

What possibilities are opened up when 215Pb/Gram with good I/O and price is reality? With computing power increasing 1 order of magnitude around every 5 years (Moore's law), this might be reality by 2027. An antecedental stor

Many people I've worked with came to the US on H1-B's sponsored by the big outsourcing firms, then they move to one of the above mentioned companes. Presumably they move to those companies for better pay and working hours. And t

Starting in an analyst, support, or end-user role is a good way to get exposure. Or try working with a small boutique consulting firm as an alternative to the big guys, you may get more variety of experience. Understanding the business pro

Helpful interpretation, thanks. What about if the expenditure is prohibited by mistake, is not fraud or money laundering, and it gets locked up in bureaucracy indefinitely? In that case it seems like protected speech could be restricted. A

Didn't the Citizens United vs. FEC case argue that money is free speech, and therefore campaign finance laws limiting Super PAC's spending were overturned? How might that affect banking laws that require banks to flag suspicious t

When pre-ipo options are granted, is the company required to tell the number of fully diluted shares outstanding? Without the denominator it is impossible to estimate the value. If they refuse to tell it or are secretive, does the employe

The alternative may be putting down the phones and computers and talking to people face to face again. Said as I stare at my phone on the bus with most other people doing the same.

Is it technically possible to have a global power grid, where solar generated on the sunny side of the earth can be used on the dark side, eliminating the need for energy storage?

The free market crowd would argue that the surviving companies will bake in the right security if consumers demand it. If companies don't take it seriously, either their customers aren't demanding it, or they will be replaced by

I meant something where the content creators are the owners from day 1, and are always the owners, like a co-op. Then any profits left over after infrastructure costs get paid as a dividend proportional to the audience size of the content

When I lived in N.E. Florida they were everywhere too. I looked into this franchise that uses trained herding dogs to get the geese to move on. The geese learn not to come back. I learned that each state has its own laws about geese, and

What if the corporate structure reserved ownership shares for the users, and/or per-impression ad revenue went directly to the content creators. Some way to keep control distributed instead of centralized, that is baked into the compa

Fake news is just a nicer word for propaganda. Maybe what we saw happen on Facebook was a reflection of our society and the US political system? Even if Facebook changes something, 4 years from now we are still facing a 2-party oligarchy
