I guess that's more practical than what another BCI company wants to do, e.g., implant 10k's of nanoscale sensors directly in the brain and eventually establish a read-write interface.

When everything is both nails and screws, a hammer isn't the best tool for everything (unless it has a screwdriver on the end and the hammer part is big enough to be actually useful as a hammer).

I started before CompuServe, Internet, or the internet were nouns. It wasn't nicer back then, it was lazy and naïve. 3DES was widespread in the payment card industry, but the attitude towards protecting any/all parts of networks c

That's what I think as well. It seems like there are mechanics and truck drivers commenting now when there used to be quants and physicists. The quality of expertise seems to be diluting and driving away subject-matter experts. I swear
