I think we have enough resources to go around now. We just don't allocate them fairly. People and companies like making money and resist change, resist other technologies and sabotage them politically, as an example.

Just look at news.google.com, at the end there's always a list of recent possible fake videos and photos that were investigated. There's usually a mix of results T/F.

When I worked at google they made all the devs in my team take the anti-money-laundering class. It was pretty basic stuff like "don't carry a suitcase full of cash across international boundaries". I remember everyone was ama

I used to know some jcl, those were the days. It was used in a few "advanced" classes when I was an undergrad. Was that the one that had the little hello pamplet with details, or was that yellow pamplet describing sys/360 ass

The us is in desperate shape with the housing policies that we have leading to a tremendous lack of housing availability in many large cities in the west where it's harder to spread out. California but also Seattle is another city. The

And the uk has that interesting policy where I believe the govt owns any treasure you find. Is it that way in the EU? In the us I believe you own it if you find something, but we don't seem to have as much treasure sitting around every

The problem is there's no practical green hydrogen today. It comes from basically boiling/splitting water or extracted from natural gas or other fossil fuels. And the energy you could use to make the hydrogen could more efficientl

Yes, we need to move to dst in the north but other places would prefer it too. If the rest of the continental us didn't move together, I don't think it would happen. standard time (not daylight savings time) is what we want to get

The senate passed a law to move to DST, the house did not. Many states want to change to DST permanently. Some details at https://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/us-permanent-dst.html .

You are assuming it goes backwards or uphill. Better test that with a unit test.

Good suggestion, but maybe shooting too high. Checks off the "in the mountains" part of my fantasy life. But a place that has seminars for grad students and working physicists and has many Nobel laureates who attended as students

Looks like a horror show to me. Makes me feel embarrassed at leaving my math bs behind and going into cs. I have an insane retirement idea of retiring to some fun mountain town and going to grad school in physics. Where's the best plac

I'm a software engineer & a swing dancer. Triple step! Unclear how in demand the combo of these capabilities are, but it's low.

That's a complicated story. No one really wants surveillance capitalism. I don't think google copies what I'm doing on my chromebook, but almost every website has google tracking. Chrome has google tracking. You can use non-c

The 70s were the age of 8 bit tech glory. I wish I could go back then and experience (again) all the new things that became ubiquitous, the glorious age of video game saloons, the use of that technology in movies and tv at the beginning. I

Those two first things have sure been tried, over and over as everyone knows. I said the obviousness of banning monero next was separate from whether it's a good idea.

That's how it usually ends up. I worked at a company where devs had their own private offices, it was heaven. Now I work at home where I have a private office instead of a shared office space with no privacy, loud noises, and and nothi

The point that I think you are missing is that I don't want to work in an office if I can avoid it, and it's not because the office or company is evil. I just choose not to do that if I have that choice; I have worked in offices i

I understand your point, of course everyone is not evil and whatever. But you also sunk money into your office, maybe you signed a long term lease or own office buildings. Even if you don't own it, you put time and effort into it and d

Yes, that's where I think financial regulators are heading. And anyone who thinks for one second of course sees that these are also problems with cash that drug cartels deal with by sending bales of $100 bills around. And so we added k

When you thought something could be automated by ai, were you thinking soon? Like say adjusting memory and gc settings for java in a running app? I just don't see ai solving problems that I run into like that in the next few years. I d

My tl;dr is Intel datacenter revenue declined so much that it has lost most of the previous huge profits. GPU workloads don't look like they will save them from amd and nvidia competition. They have time and money and new products comi
