    Market forces: I can "trade-in" my iPhone for a pittance (because it will be shredded) or I can sell it, working or not, for more (because it's worth more as a phone and not as a pile of shreddings)

  9. Over 65 + Stress + Skyrocketing healthcare on Brain Aging Gene Discovered (neurosciencenews.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sounds like the recipe for epidemic age-associated brain disorders - a person lapsing into an age-associated brain disorder will definitely cause stress, and then compound that with a lack of health care, and see what effect that has on that person's family

  18. Re:Rocket Propelled Entaglement Nets! on Amazon Patents System To Defend Drones Against Hackers, Jammers and Arrows (geekwire.com) · · Score: 1

    The very nature of how the drone stays aloft requires that it pull air down through itself.
    Any means of dropping segments (say, 12 to 24 inches) of monofilament fishing line into the intakes could cause the propellers to bind.

    Yet another example of misaligned incentives - short term profits over long term brand value

  20. Re:Don't secede - balkanize for more Senate seats on Silicon Valley Investors Call For California To Secede From the US After Trump Win (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Of course California can divide:
    Six Californias - Wikipedia

    I only mention square miles for comparison purposes.

    I do not care about political party dominance - I care about people being represented.
    Balkanization is the only effective way that smaller territories will EVER manage to be represented by a 3rd party.
    People will gravitate to the party they feel best represents them.

  21. California is a very large state and there is plenty of right wing sentiment. There's just more left wing, and so, on a state level, left wing wins.
    Go to Orange County or northern california (north of Sacramento, and you'll find all the right wing you can handle.

  22. Don't secede - balkanize for more Senate seats on Silicon Valley Investors Call For California To Secede From the US After Trump Win (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    The people of the 3 states of the west coast of the United States are vastly underrepresented in the U.S. Senate.

    Think about it:

    area of 13 original colonies:
              338,900 square miles

    area of 3 west coast states (CA, OR, WA):
              333,371 square miles

    And yet, those 13 states have 26 senators, while the west coast has only 6
    If the west coast really wants to make a difference for themselves, it won't be through succession, but through balkanization.

    More states = better representation in Senate
