So you just type in the speed you want and hit enter?

Citation needed for the right to other people's money.

Government running charity interferes with the normal feedback in society. And the need to ask politely, justify one's apparently bad decisions and change failing behavior.

People become "entitled" to regular cash so a lot of the fear that ordinarily motivates the rest of us goes away.

Any system that asks nothing of people is a bad system.

I grew up on welfare. I've also seen how a lot of people on welfare actually live and how they spend their time. They don't spend it cleaning, I can tell you that.

There is no human right that allows you to live in any country you want without its consent.

I'd like to know what human rights these organizations have contempt for.

Or maybe just take ownership of Bitcoin nobody can access, potentially much more profitable.

Just don't sell it all at once.

Moore's Law ain't over til it's over.

There've been so many scams in California, I suspect someone is designing scams into these programs. Whether it's unemployment, Calpers pensions or student loans, it seems California government is allergic to common sense.

Ideally, one should select friends that are respectful of other's opinions. Certainly, one shouldn't keep someone close who isn't.

But with family and acquaintances, it's not worth getting into. Except when someone isn't being respectful. Then I will certainly speak up and ask why they aren't respecting someone's right to think for themselves.

Online or in person?

Different brains having different experiences reach different conclusions.

If two people don't have some different opinions, at least one of them isn't thinking for themselves.

One thing I definitely don't do anymore is discuss politics with any friends or family ONLINE.

It's just not worth it. Publish or tweet something if you have something to say and want to reach a lot of people. Talking to ONE person and risking your relationship has a lousy cost/benefit ratio.

Most people in the majority, you mean?

i.e. people who took all the risk when nothing existed.

The rich are always behind every change that people don't like or understand.

The argument used to be that low tariffs enabled shifting work to where labor and environmental laws were weaker, reducing demand for American labor. Effectively subsidizing pollution and human suffering.

But then someone came along and agreed. Can't believe something that he agrees with.

What evidence is there that "the rich" like tariffs?

How large is the family?

Perhaps they can be trained to use them? :-)

Autonomous vehicles will reduce the need to park. Eventually.

You mean one spot available to pay for, right? Not a free one :-)

I think it would be wise to physically test as many corner cases as possible under extreme conditions. At night, in the snow, going down a hill, birds flying across the road at the same moment a baby robot crawls on to it.

I buy a salad kit at Trader Joe's. It has sugar in it. And I buy arugula and make 4 salads out of that one salad. I add a dash of olive oil and pecans. And end up throwing out 1/3 of dressing that came with the salad.

So I get some of the sugar sources in the kit. Just smaller amounts.

Otherwise, I just use olive oil and balsamic vinegar with arugula, pecans.

Arugula is a good source of nitrates, which are good for nitric acid.

Some were. Some would have made major advances whether they'd had a lot of formal schooling or not.

And many who had a lot of schooling learned to repeat, obey and sit still for 12-16 years.

And maybe had less initiative than they were born with. Maybe they learned to not question what they were told.

1. Thomas Edison Minimal formal education; mostly homeschooled by his mother. Edison was a voracious reader and learned through experimentation.

2. The Wright Brothers (Orville and Wilbur Wright) Neither completed high school. They learned through self-study, practical work, and their experiences running a bicycle repair shop.

3. Henry Ford Left school at 15 years old. Ford learned engineering and mechanics by working as an apprentice.

4. Michael Faraday Minimal formal schooling. Faraday worked as a bookbinder and educated himself through books and observation.

5. Benjamin Franklin Left school at age 10 due to financial constraints. Franklin was self-taught, primarily through reading and experimentation.

6. George Eastman Dropped out of school at age 14. Eastman learned accounting and photography on his own.

7. Elisha Otis Had little formal education and learned mechanics and engineering through work experience.

8. R. G. LeTourneau Dropped out of school in the sixth grade. He learned engineering through hands-on work and experimentation.

9. John D. Rockefeller Dropped out of high school to take a business course and learned through practical experience.

10. Philo Farnsworth Learned electronics and physics by reading and tinkering, despite being unable to afford college.

At what point is that, legally?

Did they attack anybody? Obstruct anyone's access to a building they had a right to access?

Or does someone just need to declare that someone is an occupier?

AIs will need to start asking people questions. Should make for some very strange phone calls.

We need more factors of authentication. And the number required should increase with the serious of the operation.

Buying lunch - 1 Selling your home - 10

How is the elevator car in a space elevator accelerated horizontally? That's what reaching orbit is, right? Horizontal acceleration?

The car starts out on the ground at 465m/s. It has to accelerate to 11,068 km/h.

What makes it accelerate? The cable, without any force applied to it anywhere? Or is there a rocket on that car?

To put mass into orbit, you have to accelerate that mass. And do it without decelerating the elevator.

There are no free lunches.

How is Jack Welch implicated?

His mother held on to him to keep him from getting suck out too.

I've read for of his books, which he sold in a package deal for cheap last year.

And he's working on a new one: https://sive.rs/u

Sounds like "substantial penalties for early withdrawal". Buyer beware.

Hard to believe people could figure out how to put things between two pieces of bread. Seems so complicated.
