My kneejerk, not thought through notion: why not require an emergency override protocol be builtin to road using robots? No thoughts on how this would work exactly, but it would let emergency workers move robot vehicles out of the way.

Well, I have a bear call spread on NVDA and so far its not working super great. It all depends on timing and I seem to be pretty crappy at options. o well.

But no I can not identify the flavor

like it, the zero version, vs the new coke zero which was a downgrade

_The Mind Illuminated_ Hasn't changed my life yet but it might (found it three days ago out on hoopla.com). I say this as someone who has given meditation practice a good college try (more than a year at a time of daily practice) on a couple of occasions. Most books say just keep going and you will eventually fart pixie dust. This book says you can reach advanced practice in under a year BUT requires a consistent one hour a day which might be a deal breaker. This book gets very specific about technique, achievements and expectations which is unique in my experience. And the author is not saying you need to find a "mentor/guide". If you have seen a better book I would love to hear about it.

I am a retired programmer (now software hobbyist) and I am interested in them. :-)

"Money" (aka fiat currency) is not absolutely money. No money is money without trust. Do I trust my US greenbacks? Mostly, but in the future that will depend on prevailing inflation. Bitcoin has achieved a level of trust and has the advantage of mathematical proofs. Make your choices appropriately.

initial reaction (site unseen): This has to be a grift. Upon glancing at the site, they put at least a little effort into it. That logo is genius. It straddles between being utterly on the nose and being parody.

Powerful people get rewarded: monetarily, in kind, through social status in every single political system that ever existed. Water is wet. Why is this an important article again?

Perl? COBOL?

I would add, for you silicon valley/SF residents, that longnow.org puts on monthly lectures (http://longnow.org/seminars/), some of which are very interesting. E.g. the next speaker is Timothy Ferriss.

Hmm, yes, I am pretty amateur at presenting so I may have gone a little too quickly. I was trying to be brief because I respect my viewer's time but the app has a broad-ish scope. Anyway, anything you could suggest elaborating on?

In any case, thanks, for checking it out
