Comment Good for local hauling (Score 1) 179

But probably not all that great for long hauling. Though I believe there is an easy solution. A small second trailer shaped like a cone for aerodynamics that is full of battery and is connected by cable to the semi. Then for long hauling you simply stop off at a depot and drop off the batter trailer and hook up a charged one.

Comment If they take away legal recourse (Score 1) 243

Then they leave only violence as a recourse. There needs to be a legal recourse. Otherwise, those who suffer the consequences (e.g. black lung, asbestos, who knows what from the thousands of pesticides, etc). Then victims with no legal recourse will be left to resort to illegal recourse and violence.

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.

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.

Comment another way around internet blockage (Score 1) 123

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.

Comment Maybe, just maybe... (Score 1) 363

They grew up hearing their hearing the slightly older generation decrying the BS corporate America has continuously hit GenX with. And have decided that if the corporations want these sorts of things, they damn well better pay a livable wage or the companies can go f*** themselves.

Which many companies are doing, as we have seen where retail outlets haven't even been able to keep their hours due to staffing, or had entire fast food store employees quit. Maybe it is time for companies to actually pay up. Instead of wanting degreed employees for the same wages they were paying 25 years ago.
