I have a hard time passing on the economist. Best reading out there that is condensed and to the point. The FT is great but I’m a paper guy and the font got too small to enjoy it.

I did, as an exercise. Work kept me from sticking with it. I deeply regret not staying with it for physical fitness. Bummer too, my instructor became 9th Dan.

Oh! My first job out of college had me implementing PID control for a two axis rotary control tables. The design had counter weights (think dumbbell shaped). I was the dumbbell implementing this and as I was young, had almost 168 hrs a week to work on this. OMG! I spent so much time trying to tune this and it would occasionally enter these oscillatory states back and forth. Unfortunately the device on the turntables cost about $500k…. It was such a painful experience.

This looks like the wrong individual to arrest. I suspect the case will fall apart and the individual will have lots of public support.

I know you are joking on this one, as I was on mine. But with people being arrested for shining pet toy lasers at objects, best everyone stay clear of this one.

I like where you are going with this. Can you offer “hardened” drones for the advanced players?

I’m seeking funding to open up a rail gun ranch where you can sit in your lawn chair and blow satellites out of the sky.
