I can confirm that they are extremely unreliable compared with other hardware. There is also no support from vendors.

This is not true at least in my experience. Price doesn’t tell you about reliability. I have 10% of broken cartridges and 66% of broken tape drives. These devices have mechanical p…

What I mean is to fight back with your brain but not with your body. Someone getting assaulted should be “smarter” to not fight back physically with much bigger opponent. You shoul…

Intellectuals should stop sharing their knowledge/skills with obscurantists. They should allow obscurantists to fail or at least to make obscurantists to depend on intellectuals. T…

Mad world: It is ok for the US president to pay prostitutes, restrict sex-redistributing websites and it is ok for the first lady to sell body. What is not ok is to do web search f…

Just curious if someone can build nuclear station without Congress. Can Bill Gates buy a ship or island with nuclear station somewhere and “power Microsoft servers” from it?

Ok, I found Hanson’s view on “sex redistribution” in his blog http://www.overcomingbias.com/2018/04/two-types-of-envy.html Mad world: It is ok for the US president to pay prostitut…
