Anomie and omni/suicidal destruction are only a self-fulfilling prophecy only if you subscribe to, and reinforce, learned helplessness as you appear to with a chicken-little "let's do nothing because it doesn't matter&qu

This doesn't really need another law. If something can be heard X m/ft away after night-time N (i.e., car stereo bass blasting at 3 am), or louder than Y anytime (i.e., concert without a permit), then it's creating a nuisance

Push it hard on social media for 2-3 years.. Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, etc. Lots of useful, practical demos showing solving read-world realistic use-cases. Any time there's a release or press mention, add a hand-crafted

It's uncertain if microdosing a particular ligand has any scientifically-proven evidence of efficacy without studying it. In many instances, it maybe a shared delusion placebo effect and/or socially-reinforced fad.

TBH: Aerion has more money, better tech and better technical, monetary and partner backing. Boom's timeline is extremely unrealistic. Aerion will fly around 2024 (give them an extra year as complex product timelines slip), and they hav

Polyrepos are the way to go: - Semantic versions. - Group components into reusable packages. - Don't use git modules or other source cloning in builds, use native/platform package management. - Access control is made much easier.

17, ~25, ~30, ~40, ~45, ~65 and even ~70. I think it depends on the personality property of curiosity to delve into the software-hardware stack turtles of details all the way down and not see anything as a real barrier that can't be ov

This is the problem of decentralized, too open systems (aka anarchy): it enables terrorism, child porn, violent hate groups, organized crime and other extremists and criminals. There needs to be a reputation system and stronger limits to gr
