I went to a McDonald's yesterday. The cashier stepped away from the register as I was walking up. I turned around and walked a few feet to the touchscreen order system and entered my order. At the payment screen it said to take a number card to my table. No number cards were left and 4 people were now in line at the register. I turned around and left. Jack In The Box was down the street.

Open the phone. Take the battery out of the phone and test the output. Replace the battery with 1954 tech. Don't bother with the USB-C port.

They sometimes project based on projections of estimates modeled from alternate facts scaled within fuzzy sliding windows and unrelated quantifiable numbers.

Similar thing for me except I did it late 2004. I moved back in 2010 and now trying to decide when to sell and hit the road with the profits.

I blame it on school PE classes where they make you touch your toes repeatedly. They act like there is something wrong with you if you are not flexible that way.

Facebook has become the place my 60+ year old aunts and uncles share false/exaggerated/fake news. Doesn't matter how many times I point out how easily they can search for the real facts. The sky is falling every day.

Report it as fraud to your credit card company or cancel your card and have a new one issued.

100 years in the future you will be able to describe an idea to an AI which will create whatever the idea is for you. "OK Google, make a Facebook without all the fake news." No programming languages.

Wealthy people buy the cow.

Something that quickly cleans dog shit or whatever else I step in off the bottom of my shoes.

People will still complain about anything more expensive than living in a car or tent.

The arsonists and thieves can go to jail. The rest can take advantage of the existing programs and stop refusing help.

Yes, there is one between my complex and a highway in San Jose. There was a big fire there last week. No news coverage. We were lucky it did not burn our homes down. These people have been offered help in the past and refuse it. The area gets cleared out and they return. They harass women in the neighborhood and steal everything they can get their hands on. They have to go.

Faking it is fine when you are working for people who are also faking it competing in an industry of fakers making a product for people who want to fake it. Just make your fake more real than others fake.

Make a list at the end of the day of what you should do tomorrow. Use that list in the morning to get started.

Questions like this are great when you don't give your location.

not down but, very very very slow to load in San Jose, CA.

Good spot for the new Amazon HQ.

I visited Arcosanti as a child in the late 70's and then again about 10 years ago. It looked like the city of the future in the 70's. 30 years later it did not seem like it aged well. It's like those Olympic stadiums that fall into disrepair a few years after the Olympics.

I visited Biosphere 2. It's a completely different environment from Arcosanti. It failed to meet expectations despite how much money was invested.

How about something simpler first like a robot that picks up dog crap?

I used a Mac for everything since 2008 but, they do not make a computer I want to buy any more.

Tesla cars are a reality and continue to improve self-driving, efficiency and safety. General Motors and Chrysler went bust a few years ago and had to be bailed out. VW cheated on diesel emissions. The incumbents suck.

40,000 people in the US were killed in car accidents in 2016. Millions more were injured. Seems like a worthwhile thing to disrupt.

If they are less powerful & efficient than a Raspberry Pi then probably not worth trying to use them for anything other than nostalgia.

Maybe they will live again in virtual reality.

Why not a 100 million dollar startup or a billion dollar startup?
