I'm a few years younger and I have found that now that I have a good career, good income and secure finances, I get a lot more attention from the female of our species.

I'm not married but I am in a relationship with the mother of my children. She was with me when I was working my way through college and living in my grandfather's spare bedroom so I know that she's here for me and not what I have.

I'd be extremely cautious about who I'd date if I were on the scene again.

There are certain feminizing elements in our society who are trying to pathologize maleness.

Boys are more likely to be diagnosed with psychological issues and medicated for doing the kinds of things that little boys just do.

We have things like California's "yes means yes" law that criminalizes what's considered normal sexuality in the rest of the country.

Some guys are just checking out "Fuck this! I'll be over here with my video games and these porn chicks who won't make me just through a bunch of stupid hoops". They never planned to have children anyway so what's the point?

My HOUSE actually blocks most radio signals including TV, radio and most cell phones.

That they have thought of them doesn't imply they have any good answers.

The problem is that even if you can anticipate 90% of the things that can happen out there, there will always be a 10% you can't anticipate. You don't anticipate them as a driver either. There's no way for "the incredibly smart people" to make decisions ahead of time for things they cannot think of.

For humans, it takes a couple of decades of learning how to be a human, so you understand that if a policeman with a gun walks up to your car, you do not move, but if a shady looking person does the same, you gun it out of there. Or any other of unanticipated things that drivers encounter. Millions of them every day.

I think the war will be how fast and reliable they are. A system that's safer but takes longer to get people from A to B, or gives up and stops for any little thing in order to increase safety won't be too popular.

My life has only so many minutes. I don't want to spend more of them than I have to being slow cargo.

You are not considering the speed they're going at and which roads they are going on. It's easy to avoid accidents when going sub-25 speeds on a predefines subset of roads. Whether you're human or not.

Until we see some data on how autonomous cars do on all kinds of roads and driving speeds and conditions, I don't think we should extol their safety. Going 55 mph over a hilltop on a country road, or avoiding a deer is a bit different. Or a busy bumper-to-bumper city street where no-one will let you over in the next line unless you force the issue.

I'd also ask how long it took for the car to get from A to B, and how it compares to a human driver. Time is important to people; enough so that we're willing to deal with risks to save time.

As a data point, at work I took an 80GB Intel SSD from the IT guys' desk drawer (I needed it for a project and that's all he had available as he had a bulk order out). He told me it would probably be blank, since he hadn't used it in over a year. I found a whole PC worth of data on there which I had to format. He was surprised and until reading this article, I really didn't understand why. At least in my case, everything was there and could be read just fine, over a year after it had been written. It was in a 70F office both while in use and in storage.

Tell that to the Bratz! guy.

So, you're saying that this guy is clear CEO material?

Solomon was the richest man who ever lived, and he got there by following God. Job was rich, Joseph was second in command of all Egypt. Daniel of Babylon and Persia. Esther became a queen. All by following God. I am pretty wealthy myself by the world's standards (just upper middle class by US standards). I thank God for all his many blessings here and hopefully more in the world to come.

Well, thankfully there's a hell for you where you won't have to put up with all of God's laws.

Poor losers. Real men can admit they lost, even in Game 7 in triple overtime.

Playing blackjack is applied statistics. Playing poker is AI.

In fact, you can use AES but not the recommended default values. Satoshi did this with Bitcoin, just in case the NSA was recommending those values for a reason.
