When I started at Siemens in Boca Raton, FL ( of course it was Broken Sound Blvd) There were a lot of older PBXs with 8" floppy drives. When they threw one out, they allowed me ( a co-op at the time) to take it home. I still have the f

On another note, alternate between two credit cards. I found out the hard way that cards that are classified as business cards are not reported to the ratings agencies even if they were acquired with your personal SS#. I cannot put into wo

While I like the idea, there will still be a field around the human. Now there will be two targets for the sharks - potentially drawing more predators..

While it is usually great politics to scream that "our side" will reduce crime by being tougher (both side of the aisle take part in this) Overwhelming evidence shows the rise and fall of violent ( and other) crime based on lead i

I realize no one would be allowed to tell me if I am correct, but this tech sounds like it is perfect for military use. I am guessing there is already a pretty polished version of this roaming the oceans now.

Does the family member want to quit using? If not, the only advice is to wait. If they do want to quit, my experience finds that 12 step programs work. I have another family member who started his abstinence through 12 step groups and now

I really like this new term! I was working R&D / Development at J&J for about 14 years. I was one of the early members of a group called: "Mental Health Diplomats" When I first got involved, and over the years, I wo

I agree, I plan to keep an eye on what they are doing. Reading this article is triggering an impulse in me to begin some research on some tangent ideas. While the probability of following that urge is relatively low, the idea is going into

I feel that more than anything this is a subsidy for all of Desantis's lawyer friends - paid for by residents of Florida. While Florida was an odd state when I moved here 40 years ago, it has become more surreal at an accelerating pace

These kits, radio shack,and the forest mims books all made for tons of exploration and fun for geek children. I really do feel bad for today's kids. I do not think they are exposed to the same kind of granularity that made these kits

I am hoping everyone who reads this makes a point of contacting folks who might be able to protect this swamp, and also let a few more people know.

I really enjoy this sort of story. Someone persevering in an unpopular arena for the love of it, and then having it become quite essential for the advancement of humanities goals as it is developed.

This is a timely post. I was going to do an "ask HN" on the best way to prevent a sim swap. I had heard about locking the SIM but then I heard this does not give much protection. What are your thought on best protection methods??

Nice offer! I would also be very interested in how many people have taken you up on your generous offer. I myself would edit your offer to include the caveat: "emails within a week" to prevent all future orders for the book being

Are there any studies that show the mechanism that allows the "microplastics" to get into the blood? How large can something be, and still work its way into the blood stream in a healthy person? Thanks in advance to those who kno

Never is a pretty long time. One of my favorite authors: Doris Lessing, wrote a book called: "Mara and Dan" which has a very interesting take on climate change. I would recommend all of her books to anyone who wants to stretch

I have always had horrible "Penmanship". When I was in 9th grade - the last year of my parochial school, my home room teacher made me retake second grad penmanship. It did not help much. I do think my poor writing style is conn

I really think this is one of those trite sayings that are worth looking at during periodic personal evaluations. This does not mean that I have great worth just because I am breathing. I need to base my worth on metrics that I value. And

I understand the viewpoint of the Park Service, but I still admire the idea of a 60 something guy opening the channel with a shovel. I sure hope that the boaters and fisherman who took advantage of his civil disobedience step up and help hi
