I had a comp sci prof back in the early 1970's. Someone told me that he had gotten a check from Knuth for finding an error. I saw him off campus once and I had to check to see if his feet actually touched the ground. I swear tha

Re Competition Taxis or Uber are not always the cheapest way. One of my friends used to do a lot of travelling to Tokyo on work assignments. The others from the company always hailed a cab and ended up paying $100 for a trip from the

I'm surprised no one has mentioned propane as refrigerant. Lots of environmental benefits. I believe Whole Foods uses it in some of their stores. Look online for "Propane as a refrigerant. Whats not to love?"

I had a friend who went to Michigan State. This was back when computers were a new thing. As a freshman, he signed up for a graduate level comp sci class. Had a hard time convincing the prof he should be let in the class. As time we

If you frame it as a simple question, then sure almost everyone would say tax someone else at a high rate and they will assume they will pay less tax. But, if you go by how it actually will work out in the real world... Ask if you supp

I like the concept that the mining industry has developed. Its calle NSR ( net smelter return). A company will loan money to another miner that has a deposit but lacks money. The miner will use the money to build the mine and when they

I watch some of the video generated by the Maddon football video game, and find it almost as realistic as the real games. Someday, some entrepreneur is going to figure out that you can have realistic pro games generated by software. It

Wow. This fool thinks that Amazon employees earn $75/hr. He could generate 25,000 jobs with a stroke of pen by approving fracking in his state. But it would violate his religious beliefs.

What I find funny is that Wisconsin already makes a large number of the components needed for LCD monitors, TVs etc. 3M in Menomene makes the difusers that spred the light in back of the screen. There is TTM in Chippewa Falls that makes pc

I think it might have been the 1957 Philco-Bendix Duomatic washer/dryer front switches that inspired the PDP-11 panel.

I read something that said Ken Olsen found these switches on an old model washing machine and thought they would be great on the PDP machines.

I read where if US reactors replaced their fuel rods with the new design from Lightbridge, that alone would up us electric generation by 2%. Which is about the same as the total share due to solar, although solar is rising quickly.

When I did work on Voronoi, i used the Mathematica built in function. I would get the gps coordinants from Google maps and use them as input. The output put into a google function that could make rectangular colored transparent region

But when the company runs into financial trouble, it will fire the 10X programmer first. They will want to keep the head count up and can have more of the 1xers for the same amount of dollars. Wall Street likes this.
