This world is twisted enough to make me wonder if some corporations have not figured out a way to make money fighting Ebola. I would think that the governments of every nation would jump to get this life saving substance into mass production.
In my area running cables is fairly easy. I see no reason why several cables can not come to my home whether it be all from one supplier or by several cable companies. That would solve the bandwidth issues for areas similar to mine. It would also help with the outrageous costs that we can attribute to a lack of competition in the cable industry.
A large number of the world's best minds seem to be what they are due to fear. Albert Einstein had a huge reason to push himself to a status that enabled him to leave Germany. But even more common are the whiz bang scientists that come from places that have stark poverty threatening everyone at every turn. Even in the US working and living conditions for blue collar and no collar workers are so nasty that some people will make incredible efforts to never have to work at those jobs.
But the twisted part of the situation is that there are many people working in high status jobs who can not do what the working class does. We hear of the student who is now in a high position that spent a summer sweeping out a dinner or doing lawn work. But the fact is they could not do it for a career. Nor could they tolerate the low wages these jobs provide. They are mentally crippled by requiring status and admiration of others.
The next problem is that almost all of us will need a sewer worker or a tomato picker a lot more often than we need a doctor or professor. In general we could get along without any doctors at all for years but if agricultural labor is so vital that shutting down for a week or two would destroy almost all of us.
But the lie that we call supply and demand has no reality on these issues. Some people get paid big money and others do not. The need for their work or degree of supply of their labor is not related to the true value of their labor. The Russian revolution made this evident in their own way. Wearing glasses or failure to have a laborers calluses and scars on the hands were reason enough to be executed. Obviously that was stupid but it does show how frustrated the people were over the pay for laborers.
Think about what a smart home can do and then think about cars and stores being smart as well and combine the results. For example Joe Good is a suspect in a crime. Joe lives alone so no in the flesh alibi exists to testify as to where he was at the time of the crime. But a smart home could recall the number of times the refrigerator door opened, how many times the toilet flushed, when the doors opened or closed and much more. So we would have a really strong proof that Joe was at home at the time of the crime.
If there is an identity theft and Joe's credit is misused down the road Joe has real proof of where he was at the time. Suppose Joe is married and their is a divorce and custody battle. Joe claims his wife was straying and staying out until dawn etc.. A smart home or car could verify that she was not at home as accused.
Health and safety issues are also abundant. Joe slips and falls in the shower. The smart home senses the problem and dials it as an emergency. A window slides open while Joe is at work and the police are dispatched and Joe is notified that his property has been violated.
I think most people would far rather gain all that a smart home can offer and might be more than willing for some sales outfit to gain the fact that I like cherry life savers or whatever.
Although I loath the right wing there really is no left wing to vote for at all. The US needs some radical changes and no politician is willing to do a single thing that really helps. For example we need to limit reproduction and stop immigration completely or we will suffer deep poverty and ruin. The very last thing we need is growth. We need quality and we need a highly educated population.
My vote will do nothing to improve anything. The ignorant masses will continue to have babies they can not afford to have. People will not be educated, Corporations will not be held responsible. The legal system will remain an idiotic mess.
We are in a spiral headed for the gulping sound at which our nation will be mixed with raw sewage. Our politicians care about their money and position and nothing else at all.
College has never been about getting a job. Look at the help wanted section of your local paper. Astronomers wanted, poets wanted, scholars wanted will not be listed. College is for people who love learning and are willing to suffer to obtain that learning.
What we do have is criminals who create worthless, phony colleges that suck the blood out of students and tax payers. The majority of online degree programs are crooked.
Combine that with an economy that does not allow young people to get decent jobs and the young people figure out that by taking a worthless, college program by computer gets them a check every month from the government. These peoples' choices are as follows : You may starve now or starve later. So the young folks who really have been betrayed by society live off of their college loans and reason that the loans will have to be forgiven.
So why would any government do this? These youth will discover that no matter what they do they will get the severe, bottom bracket, Social Security checks when they retire. The government will take those unpaid loans right out of their Social Security checks leaving them starving. The proof is that bankruptcy does not relieve people from government backed student loans.
Verizon wants to be a censor and strikes to limit conversations it considers damaging to their position. What they seek is to suppress free speech. Since that violates public interest it is time to revoke their business license. Now instead of going to work they can stay home and try to govern the rubber ducks in their bath water.
Any type of fee opposes the notion of free speech quite literally. if we have a constitution that assures free speech and then turn around and allow private companies to regulate the flow of speech we have a meaningless Bill Of Rights. Think of a short wave radio and a user that simply gabs all the time. We have never had laws that suggest that we can shut the guy down due to the air waves being limited and public property as well. So if we have a private company that can throttle free speech we are creating an uber class which somehow has more rights than the public at large. It is one thing to allow companies to install cables for transfer of speech for a fee but it is quite another issue when a private company is allowed to throttle content or the amount of speech that flows on the line. Concepts such as equality before the law are trashed when one entity has more rights than anyone else regardless of the needs or considerations of a corporation.
Maybe these nuts should share a meeting hall with the flat Earth lunatics. The Bible is not an instruction manual for how the Earth was created. The Old Testament will not help me repair my TV either.
Non conductive oils that completely fill the case can keep water out. Make sure the case has fins for cooling on the outside. Divers watches have used this method to assure their electronics don't drown.
Amazon could learn from Ebay. I find I am more comfortable with the way Ebay presents products. Also these days if you don't have your product on Ebay and Amazon you will suffer a loss of sales in all venues. People often simply browse without the intention to buy and those products that are displayed make an impression towards future sales in department stores or direct from the seller.
Some drug houses are very high risk. It is not all that rare for drug dealers to have serious hardware and planned responses to raids. Sometimes a neighboring house is used to house things like a 50 cal. machine gun on a tripod behind a curtain. We even had severaal FBI agents killed in a car that did not even know they were driving by a drug house. They were on their way to another house a few blocks down the street when heavy arms destroyed their car and took their lives.
Long sentences and three time loser laws tend to cause criminals to fight to the grave.
Florida does it better. Years back we had a local cop that transferred to the west coast of Florida. He enjoyed grabbing young women and binding them to trees and taking them apart with an axe. He prowled in his squad car and pulled over girls in isolated areas and then did his nasty thing.
I think that cops should be tested by a good psychiatrist about twice a year to help catch the troubled ones and get them help and out of law enforcement. I have seen cops in a rage on a couple of occasions in which they made enemies forever by the way they approached and treated people. Cops can not afford to have deviants on the force as it makes the job hard for every cop.
The law suits should be a thriller. I think i'll put nude photos on my cell and pray that some cop shares them. Rich is good and juries will go nuts on the awards on this.
South Florida has an amazing invasion of exotic lizards of several species. They are thriving and increasing in number and variety. Iguanas are common place here and it is more than one type of iguana at that. We have moniror lizards as well as species that I do not know the name. One iguana that I am seeing has a bright orange head when small. Pythons are also getting really common and we have had one cable guy bitten by a green mamba. There are cobras caught on rare occasions as well.
I really doubt that a Christian minister who preaches that non Christians will burn in hell for eternity would be jailed. But if a Muslem claimed the same he would be jailed. Hell fire and brimstone preachers were the norm in the Christian faith until about 1920 or so.
I also feel that when people are hampered in their speech they are much more likely to become enraged. Essentially the govenrment is impident and acting foolish with a knee jerk reaction.
There has been far more work towards building robots that can cook. Front counter staff will soon vanish and back of store employees are already scheduled for dismissal.
Some people may not feel that it effects their lives but those folks are in for a huge shock. Skilled career paths are also about to start a rapid dissapearing act as well. Your taxes will be severely effected as well. Those without income will become wards of the state one way or another and there is no way out in the current system. For example if you put a person in prison it costs even more tax money. And then you have the children of convicts which will need support as well. Then when the convict ages you will be supplying him with social services as well and if you do not you will pay for him to be jailed which is worse.
This is very much like the medical care problem. If a patient can not get good care they end up in the emergency room which is ultra expensive. It is far cheaper to make certain that the patient gets good care including pharmaceuticals and other required support even if you have to provide housing and food and the like. The worst expenses will be upon you when that person must use the hospitals.
So we now must square off and face a reality that we must change the entire system or we will be in chaos and deep poverty and vulnerable to foreign powers as well. Think about it. Armies require lots of money. A poor nation can never defend against poor affluent nations. The so-called conservative that insist that things must not change or that we must roll back the clock is our greatest enemy as his line of thought will doom our nation in short order.
After wasting tax dollars passing such nonsense into law the people of Michigan can now look forward to a huge waste of tax dollars as they have these laws struck down in Federal courts.
What Tesla has done is designed a car that does not need dealerships at all. The Teslas can be repaired in any small garage and the parts are handled through parts store chains. The car dealers are freaking out as they can not compete. But they need to get the real message of capitalism. If you can not compete close down. You do not restrain trade of competitors to keep your company floating. That is illegal. Why is it that Ford, GM and Chrysler did not field an even better electric car than Tesla? The meat heads in these companies did not want to change and now they face oblivion. They earned their down fall.
A law that sweeping surely is the result of law makers having a fit of temper. And it is senseless. Put it on a scale with someone like George w. Bush who helped wreck millions of lives with ignorant political behaviour and ruined America's world image with the torture of POWs. Look at the harm that fool did and he was not punished one bit. Then consider the harm that ronald reagen did with the whacked out notion of trickle down economics and all the harm that was done. Or consider Richard Nixon and his illegal acts for which he was never punished. Then stack them up against some twit who hacks into some site and spills information which should be public anyway and they want to give him life.
The sense of proportion and justice in the US and most of the western world has become so demented, so irrational and so bigoted that I am at the point of asking if society should ever be allowed to punish anyone at all no matter what they do. Our legislators and judges have become no better than drooling lunatics motivated by spastic emotions and ignorance.
If one tells it like it is puffery is fraud just as a salesman's soap is fraud. If a product is desireable enough no sales efforts are required. The reason that we have marketing and sales is that most products really are not desireable at all.
Apparently humans normally do not act on reason at all. Recent experiments suggest that we act on emotions completely and then build a logical excuse for out actions or thoughts. We are a very screwed up species.
Obviously the problem with baloons is they blow away. But we could mitigate the weight so that these drones almost float on their own and use less energy to stay up. We might even use devices that work like submarines and pump the hellium or hydrogen back into pressurized compartments so that the temperature differences can be compensated for between night and day or even design the drones to glide back towards a location before inflating the baloon portion of the device.
To the western eye these cartoon images resemble children but in the nations of origin the drawings represent adults. The nature of the art is to draw the image with as few lines or details as possible and to westerners that somehow is seen as a child like image. School girls may well be college girls etc..
We are in one of those nonsenseable frenzies where everything is seen as a sexual threat. The system is irrational and needs to be limited.
