I, Steve Wozniak, did not participate in the theft of the BASIC. It was funny to me to see others enjoying doing this. I had never used BASIC myself, at that time, only the more-scientific languages like Fortran, Algol, and PL-1, and several assembly languages. I sniffed the air and sensed that you needed BASIC to sell computers into homes, because of the book 101 Games in BASIC. I loved games and saw games as the key. It was the [MS] BASIC that inspired me to write a BASIC interpreter for my 6502 processor, in order to have a more useful computer.

It's hard to find people with Tim Berners-Lee's integrity. We should 'own' our own lives. It's a lot deeper than just being watched.

For 20 years, plus or minus, personal computers reversed that idea.

I gave all my Apple wealth away because wealth and power are not what I live for. I have a lot of fun and happiness. I funded a lot of important museums and arts groups in San Jose, the city of my birth, and they named a street after me for being good. I now speak publicly and have risen to the top. I have no idea how much I have but after speaking for 20 years it might be $10M plus a couple of homes. I never look for any type of tax dodge. I earn money from my labor and pay something like 55% combined tax on it. I am the happiest person ever. Life to me was never about accomplishment, but about Happiness, which is Smiles minus Frowns. I developed these philosophies when I was 18-20 years old and I never sold out.

Known VPN services have identifiable server addresses that can be blocked. Instead, you can set up a cheap raspberry pi (or other) at your home and use an encrypted SSH connection to that [raspberry pi] from far away. Then turn on your SOCKS proxy (part of WiFi Details on Macintosh) and check to see that your IP address shows to the world you access as that of your raspberry pi. I do this all the time, including right now. It also helps to watch sports events.

Thanks.

You aren't talking about multiple theaters, theater just means one location. Jamming is occurring in one location. You can just spoof or jam signals for all the various GPS systems in one location.

It doesn't matter if the ground stations for GPS are located in 1 location, Glonas in a different one & Galileo in a 3rd. They all have satellites overhead globally & the signals are in very nearby bands. You just have to blast out a jamming or spoofing signal in the target area & you affect all of them in that region.

So how does NFTs make this any better than what goes on now that permit in game trading? They usse a back end database tied to the game as you trade or sell your virtual items. NFTs provide 0 value over a traditional database in this case (as with almost every case), along with the standard problems with "crypto". How can you "open up new markets" when everything is tied to a single game & the whims of a developer? The NFTs or items have 0 value outside of the game. "Crypto" means power wasting overhead, ease of loosing things & a million other problems. There is no decentralized control that everybody keeps touting. It's all still Ubisoft in the end controlling everything. They just coat the same old system that's been around forever with a new layer of buzzword crap & suckers go nuts for it.

Ya, pretty sure this is a case of trying to thread a needle on doing what's right, what's required by international sanctions & not knowing how to define things. More literal fog of war vs malicious intent or lack of support for Ukraine.

Identical headlines showed up in Slashdot & Betanews on my RSS feed within a few minutes of each other. Some PR outfit is earning their keep while "editors" are not. I was just perusing my feed & sadly wondering how much of that content was thinly veiled sponsored content already.

You might have missed that Musk made the same claim about 2016, with the 1-camera sensor system. The 2017 claim was with the newer 8-camera system, and the claim was made before Tesla even had software for the new sensors, and the Tesla then lacked adaptive cruise control, adaptive high beam, self parking, summon, and other things that the prior model did have. I'm embarrassed that I actually believed these claims.

The point of the quarantines isn't to stop people from getting the virus. It's to stop everybody from getting it all at once.

Our medical system can handle most complications most of the time. But if everybody or a large part of the population shows up in the ER at once with COVID19 problems a large number of those easily treated complications will get triaged & some of those people will die. It doesn't even need to be COVID19. If you have a heart attack & every doctor is busy with COVID19 patients, there is a good chance you will not get any or appropriate care.

If medical systems are merely really really busy rather than swamped & overwhelmed more people live. Really busy for months is good, overwhelmed for a month is not. Quarantining is a way to stretch things out so the medical system can handle things over time.

I am careful in all such interviews to say that Facebook is fine for anyone who likes it, for whom the plusses outweigh any minuses. I state that it's just wrong for me, myself, or others like myself. How can I not be "right" about that?

At least Tesla respects our right to die in our sleep.
