Nice. I'm an over-40 year old wannabe engineer too, except I didn't get as far as you on my little pet project: designing a 'universal' gear, based on professor Jack Phillips' work "General Spatial Involute Gea

Best you can do is get familiar with peer-to-peer acquisition, and teach others. Starve the enshittifiers!

If we ban the FED from conjuring new Dollars for buying debt and securities, and the only way fresh printed Dollars enter circulation is if apportioned to every citizen equally (debt-free), then we could have all these nice things again. C

I think CPI is a poor measure, because it's a moving meter stick that understates inflation. When beef is overpriced, hamburger switches into the basket. When hamburger is a luxury, then chicken swaps into it instead. It understates

M2 outstrips it. My favorite way to gauge historical prices/data is to scale it with M2: (TradingView): M2SL[0]/M2SL*TICKER Replace M2SL[0] with the latest M2 value. 23.05 T should be 23.05*10^12. Compare SPX, GC1!, SI1!, CL1!,

Nice! I hope to see continued liberation of these locked up SOTA models. Cloud is a virtual prison, since other people's policies on what they think a user should and should not do cannot be [easily] bypassed, if enforced remotel

I don't need your stinkin' passkeys! I have KeePassXC on Qubes OS and KeePassDX on GrapheneOS. No I will not buy into your proprietary cloud prison, with FISA/NSA/court-order backdoor access to my data! No I will not

Not for Chase, not for Schwab, not for my DOCSIS provider, not for my cellular provider, etc. They don't offer TOTP either, just SMS for 2FA. It's going to require a law: if you require 2FA, then TOTP or HOTP must be offered as

If OpenBSD pretended Qubes OS was a feature prototype/reference OS build and made a fork of OpenBSD to feature-match Qubes OS (calling it QuBSD or something), that would be great!

One idea I've had for reform is to ban central banks from inventing new currency except to pay every citizen a UBI debt free, and only tax limited liability entities (not humans). This would give citizens, instead of borrowers, first

Agree with you. It is a collateral consequence of the War on Drugs™ that everything good and effective is getting locked behind a $50-$200 doctor's visit for a 'scrip. This scam medicine problem could be helped if a bunch of sub

Please no. We need to be going the other way on that trend: converting things which won't easily outright kill/maim you (and dare I say, even potentially addictive ones) at normal doses from Rx to OTC! Acetaminophen is one of

I just wish the Maxis games retained that awesome simulator feel and Win32 GDI integration that SimCity 2000 had, and not turned into full screen PlaySkool kiddie-gamer interfaces with big dumb buttons and junk. Also like Mr. Wright I too w

PR fixes: 1) Stop the guardrails (except for anti-hallucination guardrails, those are good), 2) Stop the REPLACE ALL THE HUMANS agitprop and sales pitches, maybe start presenting it as a technology which will overthrow rather than empower a

What will protect is taking bicycles off motor vehicle roadways, and laying down new, much narrower bicycle-exclusive roads all over instead. It doesn't make sense to mix the slower and vulnerable bicycle traffic with the faster and s
