It can be true and still be problematic. If a small city has 100 LEO, and 15 are bad apples, the overwhelming majority still want to do the right thing. Unfortunately 15 is still a very big problem. If they can break the law with impunity i

As a USian, I think it is super important to question a super power that takes it upon themselves to protect the rest of the world's democracies--even if they have to force them into democracy first. The same way I think it is super im

In the USA, the BLM administers some 18000 permits to farmers and ranchers who pay them grazing fees.[0] Then cattle wander on that range exactly as you propose. The BLM also employs snipers and gunmen to intimidate ranchers who don't

Then you have a dispute about who owns the 10000s of acres and who to pay for the grazing rights. And who is responsible for maintaining all that range? And can somebody be tried twice for a mistake in their management of open range? Then p

When I first heard of the balloon I thought it was brilliant. I am always amused at relatively cheap ideas that cost your opponent a lot. I figured this would cost the U.S. a lot. Even the President might waste 20 minutes with 15 highly pai

These are very good points to ponder seriously. You can change your circumstances in another way. Reduce your expenses despite all the money that's coming in. Then find something important to you. It feels like it should be something a

Sure. You take the two ladies who built and maintain your homegrown system and you run them through 6 months of training on Actions and Pipelines and Agents along with two other employees, then give them a Director and an official dept like

Agreed. But it was pretty clear that the world needed more than File Servers and Print Servers. NLMs weren't a clear path forward, either. We needed app servers. Desktops and workstations ran apps. Servers ran... well, servers. Windows

Netware was huge, for its day. It beat back Microsoft more successfully than anyone else managed in the 80s and 90s. Eventually, they came up with a stellar app OS: Suse. But they never got the business side pointed straight. In the end, I

If you stick with Apple you buy yourself a whole new ecosystem every three years anyway. I am not a fan of walled gardens and vendor lockin, but come on. Take some personal responsibility for your situation. Don't complain that it is N

Reputation is a real thing. Hyundai left the U.S. market in part because a disastrous reputation made sales difficult. When they returned, they knew they had to overcome their existing rep. They offered warranties that meant the consumer co

And yet, I can still buy a "not smart" phone. Because enough people have voted with their wallets. There is a market worth $millions there and vendors willing to meet the demand.

<grandpa voice> When I was a child </grandpa> our home used the same phone for 20+ years. Now they are stocking stuffers every year. And it's not because they got dirt cheap. Somehow somebody convinced us that life wit

The idea that manufacturers would raise prices simply because a product lives longer flies in the face of Econ 100. Any time you raise prices you increase the opportunity for competition. Any improvement without raising prices gives you a c

Is an encryption key copyrightable? Or a password? Is it illegal to recite a copywrited work? Is it illegal to recite a translation of a copywrited work? Can you copyright a number? For instance, a long binary number? If a piece of code con

I want compatability in a whole different direction. Let's get really crazy and rip the db out from under vendor solutions. Let their app with its compiled in Oracle driver communicate with a Pg server. We'll completely void any s

Imagine a desalination process funded in part by producing battery-grade sodium. All you practical people who wait until there is real world manufacturing promise are missing out on the pleasure of wild imagination.

Yep. Kinda like manufacturing cars is highly regulated. Or selling them without local dealerships. Or manufacturing industrial warehouse-sized batteries. Or building and operating an international network of charging stations.

It is pretty common for anybody with even the smallest fleet to own their own gas pump. Say a farmer with one tractor, or a flower shop with two vans. In a world with gas stations on every corner, your argument would suggest this is foolish

Which is one reason for team driving. One person drives while the other person sleeps. E-semis might not have cracked that nut yet. But they don't have to solve every challenge at once. D-semis have been around forever and still haven&

I would color myself conservative, though most of my conservative circle might smile at that. I have no interest in seeming progressive. I've come to accept that I am pedantic. I use phrases like "Native American" to avoid am

It is not true that ground water from wells is freely available to whomever owns the land. See recent judgements regarding multi-billion dollar disputes in Nevada, Idaho, and Utah. It is not a new thing for some wells to run dry because of
