Yeah, but it all depends. I live, work, and shop all within a few blocks, so traffic for me is the exact same as any other mid-sized city suburbs. Oh, sure, occasionally I get caug…

Absolutely.

Takes all types. It's the best thing I've ever done and I'll never move from here.

How much can they make from selling this type of information?? Hundreds of billions? It would seem to me that the amounts would be pitifully small as compared to making their custo…

Nah. How would any civilization be able to distinguish it from any other tiny piece of material moving through space. As far as radio waves go, no way. Anything that we have sent o…

Workers, yes, but mainly consumers. A million dollar fine, if you sell 500,000,000 cartridges (just a guess, but in 2012 I searched and saw they sold 315 million worldwide) means t…

You are bringing up the exceptions. If everyone you know played Russian roulette, well, that is a stupid game to play, even if nobody you know landed on the chamber with the bullet…

Personal responsibility plays probably 80% of it, and that really points to the company one chooses to keep. When one keeps drug addicts or drug-friendly people as friends, that is…

ChatGPT is the bomb. I use it to create content, to help me find weird words, to help me find films that I totally don't remember the name of but just describe one scene that I rem…

Cool, good on you. I did write: "except for exceptions." which of course, there always are. Even back in the day when you and I were getting our first jobs in tech in the mid-1980s…

oh, yeah. That was a bonehead move on the part of Digg. I was happy with it until that disasterous change. It reminds me of a bar I used to go to in San Francisco called The Rat an…

I would be, except for the fact that a religion like islam will cut off your head if you decide you don't believe in a god anymore. And christianity was like that as well, until th…
