Those charts are data. They're representations of time series. Do you think it only counts as data when it's numbers in columns? Then measure the chart, write down the numbers, and make yourself happy.

> Right now I am planning a 'round-the-world-trip and my ship (an 18 meter Skerry Cruiser sailing yacht) ... What kind of hardware would you recommend as necessary for a trip of this kind?

#1 Balls of solid brass.

Crazy idea, I know, but maybe a better use would be to leave it with the people who earned it?

I once made a meatloaf in a Pyrex pie plate. When I served it I discovered why meatloaf is traditionally formed into a rectangle, when my son said "Mmm, cow pie!"

Seems like this story dropped the lede. The most significant use of this technology will be to detect blood glucose levels without lancing through the skin, making it a less dreaded process for millions of diabetics to monitor their conditions.

You've got that backwards. Printing homes mean far more customizations. Bespoke your heart out on Sketchup, send it to be validated by a building code / physics model, and off to the printer. A room shaped like Einstein's hollowed out head? A bas-relief tribute to your dog on the living room wall? No problem! Try getting that kind of flexibility from a conventional contractor for conventional prices.

Remote jobs are your friend. I left programming for ten years, and when I returned found that my age and lack of recent experience was a definite handicap. Then I applied for a telecommuting job (advertising for a 'young' developer) and found that they really only cared about my coding chops and how well I play with others, but not much else. They never saw the gray beard. By the time they discovered that I'm not young anymore, it didn't matter. And it turns out that I really like working at home, and would hate returning to a cubicle.

The problem is that 'glass teat' is too metaphorical. It needs to become an actual teat.

Asteroids?

99% of everything is crap.

The widespread hatred of her makes me want to watch her to find out why. Whatever it is about her that selectively traumatizes liberals should be isolated and weaponized. Also she's nice to look at.

What if my brontosaurus ate the clay tablet receipt? Will they accept petrified dung?

Dude, alt-D and chill.

Don't underestimate social flexibility. Society is also perfectly capable of freaking out upon discovering that AIs are safer than human drivers, flipping on a dime, and calling for an immediate ban on human drivers.

Not if they're discriminating against younger people. In the U.S. federal age discrimination laws only protect older people from discriminating in favor of younger people, and generally explicitly allow the reverse. This is in line with the primary purpose of government (as divined from analysis of actual spending) as transferring wealth from younger to older people.
