Thanks, Bill Gates!

Bold of you to assume the BMW buyers were ever making rational buying decisions in the first place... it's the car of choice for spoiled children.

Dealers have reported cars that were not stolen as stolen, and police have used Lojack to trace the cars and arrest the driver. In one, the cop car rammed a guy's brand new pickup for no reason as he was backing out of a parking space, damagine the cop car and the pickup, then arrested the guy and took him to jail... only to discover the dealer had screwed up the paperwork and falsely reported the vehicle as stolen. Problems are opportuniites: we need to start a service to disable Lojack transmitters!

Christian nationalists are not pro-freedom of religion, they are pro-establishing themselves as the head of the state religion. I agree with a traditional fiscal conservatives about a lot of things; Trump is definitely not a fiscal conservative. Please forgive me for tarring all Republicans with the same brush, there are a few compassionate conservaties I actually like. My Republican high school best friend, who later became Mayor of Fairbanks, voted for Kasich in the 2016 primary. Kasich was a much better choice than the guy that won. You know, that anti-science, anti-education guy that thinks he's God?

The problem is that AI produces results much faster than humans, but it produces correct results less often.

If you're measuring token use, you're encouraging token use to game the stats.

Ford made most of his money AFTER he left office. Few presidents get rich while they are still president. Jefferson went bankrupt because he served as president and neglected his farm.

"John Locke" is actually a reference to Peter Wiggin's online name in Ender's Game, not to the actual philosopher. I've read some of the real John Locke's philosophy and found it rather tedious, but I can't really say he was wrong about anything. Locke was pro-science, pro-education, pro-freedom of religion... Republicans would have hated him.

I helped my brother-in-law set up a glass table for his remote Master's degree exams. Apparently they didn't think just having a web cam focused on him the entire time was enough. That's probably what the testing centers should be using too.

Because none of the test takers could possibly have another computer in front of them... like their phone? I helped my daughter take online tests, and taughter her the usefullness of saying "Hey, Google..." to her Google assistant. That being said, google is useless for histology, even though AI should be much better than humans at that.

Shouldn't we reward people for being really good at cheating? That seems like a very useful business skill to me. In fact, some say it can even get you elected to president!

All property rights are ultimately derived at gunpoint (or whatever weapon was popular at the time). The white man had better guns.

*Zeus. My neighbors used to have dobermans named Zeus and Venus. Which was awkward, since my daughter is also named Venus.

You underestimate the capacity of natives to sabotage a scientific operation in a remote location...

We'd all be better off if everyone followed the advice the Bible quotes him as giving. Unfortunately, very few of the people calling themselves "Christian" actually do as their God commands. Is ICE being kind to it's neighbors?
