Another fun story: A strip club was asking for a camera system and pos system in 2006. I already had a nice PCI based capture solution for the CCTV system but the POS software was still an unknown. When I learned that the average cost per t

They have a spot where you can leave a review on google if you feel so inclined. I don't trust that these groups will reduce waist or risks. I hope someday there's a standard 36/48/52V battery that has a cost of $0.25 pe

If traditional medicine worked, the entrenched incumbents would probably try anything to keep their market share of continuous "treatments". We're not a shining example of physical or mental health here in the west.

Your words make me realize how damaging the left / right paradigm are to our progress. There are so many things that people agree on from both sides and perhaps the work never gets done because people focus on the differences more thes
