But staying planet bound is a death sentence for our civilization, if not our species, at some point.
Is this necessarily a bad thing? Just like most folks learn to accept that they won't live forever, maybe we just need to accept that our civilization and our species won't live forever?
Sure, it would great if we eventually move off Earth. But we shouldn't do it out of fear.
I see it still has the Nazi name. How was this not changed?
Well, Russia pioneered space flight using their Nazi scientists, and America further advanced space flight using their Nazi scientists. So it's only fair to recognize the Nazi contribution to space.
Although it is dubious if the German space scientists were really Nazis. Most probably just joined the Nazi party to get funding for their research. Kinda sorta like what university staff do today to get funding. Claiming that your research will cure global warming or beat the Chinese is a good way to get funding from the government.
Or, alternatively, that every satellite we put up in the atmosphere has a greater likelihood of being struck by a meteor, adding to the minefield of space dust already in LEO?
What a brilliant idea to protect us from meteors becoming meteorites: A Meteor Minefield! All Musk needs to do, it to put plenty of high explosives in his satellites.
And, if Musk upgrades to nukes on his satellites, we will be protected against asteroid Earth impacts, as well.
Does anyone know of a religion that forbids paying taxes . . . ? I'd like to become a believer.
There are so many wacky religions out there . . . there's probably ones that forbid driving on the right side of the road or brushing your teeth.
And I don't get how Christian folks say Jesus was against vaccinations. He trotted around healing lepers with his touch, which is kinda sorta like giving folks vaccinations.
Who's going to pay to dig it all up and remove it?
Get some Meth-Heads to do it. They steal copper wire and mesh fencing to sell as scrap metal for meth, so maybe Google can convince them that digging up the fiber would be a good source of cash . . . ?
If you want to change their votes, perhaps you could start by listening to their concerns, instead of telling them they are too stupid to vote properly.
I get the feeling that most politicians of both are just listening to themselves these days.
Huh, you'd think a Raspberry Pi store would come without walls or a roof.
You can order cheap plastic walls and roofs for your Raspberry Pi store in a wide variety of tootie frootie colors from Amazon.

But conversely, that is likely the same reason why the Raspberry Pi Foundation wants its own space in the physical retail realm: it needs a new audience.
*Gasp!* Does this mean . . . 2019 will be . . . the year of Raspberry Pi on the desktop!?!?!
About 5-10 years ago, there was a Supreme Court opinion that said people flashing their headlights to indicate a police presence was a 1st amendment right.
This popped up way back in the 70's in the US, when social media was Citizen Band (CD) radios.
Truckers would alert each other to where "Smoky" (a cop) or other "Bears" (yet more cops) were hiding.
Normal folks would just tune in and listen to the "traffic reports", and were most grateful to the truckers.
Maybe Trump can haggle with them a bit, and get China to build him his wall . . . ?
That would take the pressure off the Democrats and Republicans in Congress, and then they could kiss and make up, and get on with their proper government business.
But, alas, something makes me think we'll have a stalemate for the next two years, like the World War I trench battles, where no one wins, and everybody loses.
Only Norway has any significant amount of oil of the three Nordic countries.
The Spanish Inquisition:
Our three Nordic countries are Norway, Sweden and Finland . . . and Denmark. Our four Nordic countries are Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark . . . and Iceland. Our five Nordic countries are Nordic countries are Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Iceland . . . and Greenland.
Side point: giving people jobs with a living wage is one of the fastest ways to reduce crime.
Some folks are just plain greedy. A lot of Wall Street types earn way more than a living wage, yet they still manage to get themselves entangled in criminal financial shenanigans.
It would be very amusing if this crime prediction AI directed police patrol cars to London's financial district.

Me, I do socially acceptable addictions that are common in Seattle instead.
Bubble tea ftw!
So that is what hipsters call masturbation these days.
If you write 780 characters when you're speechless, I'm wondering how many you would type if you had an opinion about something.
640 characters should be enough for everyone.

Maybe in an upcoming election we'll have the choice of voting for an AI president, instead of other worse & universally poor options....
I like that idea. IBM Watson has a debater feature:
https://www.forbes.com/sites/c...
Let's demand that our worse & universally poor options debate against IBM Watson Debater!
Of course, IBM will admit that Watson isn't really true AI.
But our worse & universally poor options aren't really true presidential candidates either.
Also the second shipment to Europe will also arrive at Zeebrugge shortly.
And Musk is in Europe, supervising the Model 3 roll-out in Europe:

Apparently not the mall and often not the park these days, so where?
How about the local Catholic Church? I'm sure that the priests will do their best to make your children feel most comfortable.
Oh, wait . . .

att and verizon should be broken up and stay broken up.
Ajit Pai should be broken up and stay broken up.
. . . to prevent counterfeiting . . . or, at least that's what the Blockchain folks keep telling me.
Oh, and some folks are actually doing it:

Blockchain is the new bacon.
Strange . . . with AI I thought of robots, and thought that AI's favourite flavour would be:
Bender's Shiny Metal Ass

is worried about China's use of AI for surveillance and political control
"is worried about the USA's use of AI for surveillance and political control"
Who knows what experiments the DHS, NSA, CIA, FBI and their pals are performing with this technology . . . ?
Back to Canada . . . I can't imagine that this would be used by the Royal Canadian Mounted Geese.
If that cold wallet ever sees a transaction, everyone will know something hinky is going on.
So . . . ? So everyone knows that somthing hinky is going on.
Is anyone capable of doing anything about it . . . ? Can the coins be blocked from further trading . . . ? Or from being exchanged for cash . . . ?
It seems to me like it will be, "We know we've been robbed . . . but we can't catch the thief!"
Is how many other devices have clandestine microphones unbeknownst to the owners?

That's right: if you currently own a Nest Secure, you will be able to use it as a Google Home very soon.
No, it uses you!
Now, already.
