Exactly! Implement the dream-act analogue DACA as a policy matter after the Congress rejected the DREAM act multiple times. A year later, become president of the Unviersity of California system for three times the salary. Quid pro quo.

"Just like Dorothy returning to Kansas, it turns out we've been able to do it any time we wanted to. Data encryption for our intended purposes is already permitted under Part 97 of the FCC rules. We just hadn't realized it. Read on for the details. "

Now we just need an emulator for the universe.
The f.lux program for Windows sits in the system tray and continuously adjusts the blue component of the display based on the time of day.
You can also dose with melatonin caplets a little while before you know you want to sleep.

If you are interested in building a distributed mesh, please visit this site and add your location to the map.
From the site:
Recent events related to net neutrality and censorship have us realizing that the internet is not as resistant to political attack as we had imagined. With the flick of a finger governments can seize domain names without oversight, with concealed effort Internet Service Providers are undermining the neutrality of the Internet.
We are building a mesh network that will do away with censorship, ISP conflicts-of-interest, and 'last mile' duopolies. Affordable technology to do so already exists, but the main hurdle is finding nearby individuals interested in participating.
This map solves this issue. Place a marker on the map to indicate your approximate location (for privacy reasons.) The areas will be attached to an e-mail address so that others nearby will be able to communicate with you (through an anonymous form — your address will remain secrets.)
The goal is not to build a wide-area mesh network overnight, but rather get nearby geeks to experiment with mesh technologies, in the hopes that more will join later.
The Canopy equipment is pricy. Why use it when you can get Ubiquiti NanoStations for $40-$80? Isn't Canopy 10x that price?
There's NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Topologies (NEAT) largely by Ken Stanley. There are extensions to that like HyperNEAT and Compositional Pattern Producing Networks (CPPNs).
I am interested in other approaches too...
Great observation.
