just another day in paradise [sips daiquiri]

Think of this current fracas like this: Americans have a strange penchant to define themselves by sexuality. So, they are easily detracted into a trance by their hormonal and prurient interests for extended periods.

A famous guy had an island and it was extrajudicially a place where alot of powerful people internationally could come to his island and interchange info and ideas and make deals and things could occur and he collected up all that kind of stuff, including arms deals and the sex stuff.

But Americans are only right now aware of the sex stuff in what he collected up.

The sex stuff is essentially a distraction, the oily film on the deeper ocean of truth.

there are many reasons for that kind of risk to have been taken. many reasons for a patriot to have been compelled or coerced to take it

or....they figured out that the chips were ...um... untrustworthy

well...and I am not generally a theorist but

dark ops may have taken an opportunity and now the operation is at its close, the data is reduced, and the devices utilized are being obsoleted, and operatives burned

WSJ = Murdoch

Keep that in mind.

yeah. It was a hail mary for the guy. Honestly the a immersion is better bet but it is kind of messy - not gonna got have some toast at the breakfast table with that laptop after that

well, the 60's and 70's were not very gadgety. FM stereo? then cassettes...

Oh wait but then the came the 8085, 80186, 68000...you see where I'm going...

We got them the NES I think it was Christmas in 1989. Lower tech...that was a long time ago. They are both savvy now but one is a pastor and not techbound, the other is in a Tech based company but not a deeptech pro

I retired from so many different things that were getting digitized. it was/is a great time to be an engineer.

I was one of the dumbest among the smart kids I hung out with, the bad influence, but we did have fun. peers count for alot, parents count for alot. but what counts the most is the kid him/her self. I say this because there came a moment, and I remember it well, when I knew that I knew how to learn. before that, I didn't not know that.

I knew WHAT I wanted to learn, just not how to learn it, how to nurture and guide myself. it was a big deal and it still is

When you stated "A third of the economy, in other words, already pays people for owning things, with no work asked of them." you glossed over all the risks and hazards and contingencies that come with capital, especially productive capital like machines or buildings or property. These are nontrivial and recurrent and require careful planning and continuous monitoring. This work, even if contracted out, bears upon the capital as a cost and thus is 'work' by another name that you choose to call 'price'

You also went on about "why a job that somebody is willing to do is assumed to be a job worth doing". This should have been something learned by workers early in their careers. Not sure what is happening in your hypothesis, or even what your hypothesis is in the study regarding the worker's responsibility within this system. You may want to put some bounds on that, or if unbound, be frank about that at the outset.

There were two paragraphs about consumerism that are hanging there unloved starting from "Two things happen..." and ending with "...every drop." but the worst part of those two paragraphs is that you attempt to drive them into a ridiculous conclusion: "Everything we measure about work is a record of what people did when they could not refuse." This is seems to embarrassingly stated as a polemical against human effort, which is ludicrous. Believe it or not, there are many many many many people who are energized each and every day by their careers, and get excited to have the opportunity to contribute to humanity's arrangements whether it is flipping burgers or curing cancer.

Where the paper went after this is really mindbending because it asks the reader to take a leap of faith that unseen models are replicating an entire economic system faithfully, and that hypotheticals can be believed and that the outcomes proposed can thereafter be believed. There is really not enough background or basis to make this leap and it is my assessment that economists will absolutely barbecue you if you try to make a pass. Asking readers to draw from their own anecdotal ["Do the people you know have more free time than their parents had at the same age?] is interesting but not going to move the needle in a meaningful way.

all the formulaic stuff that follows probably comes form the models and well maybe it is hopeful and maybe you could get a piece of land somewhere outside a small town in Oregon and try it all out on a government grant or something.

sorry if this seems harsh. I really want to give constructive feedback but its hard to see anything here that might gain traction.

as a bystander not even working in the sector, your witnessing is exactly what I was worried for. if an agent is wily enough to defeat a security it should also be wily enough to cover its tracks, otherwise what's the point?

If you have some extra $$$ (on the order of $250), you could start buying TE coolers. When I was an undergrad long ago, in my internship job we were cooling a focal plane on a satellite using some TE coolers [electracooldotcom] from the precursor of this company.

OR maybe try immersing the unit in ampcool or bitcool [engineeredfluidsdotcom] (again around $250) and use a recirculating pump from a fish tank over a decorative waterfall to bleed off the transferred heat from the PC into the environment

We had a TV. but it was a 12 inch diagonal B&W. EVENTUALLY the kids showed great composure and maturity and we relented to a Color 26inch (still Cath raytube then). Even bought them a NES console one Christmas. because they were good kids.

'shielding' is a responsibility, but it is also a responsible act of partenting to require them - demand of them - to develop their own autonomous safety systems and awareness, independent of our controls or consultations 24/7.

...except I get the sense that this creates a shelter such that the pair or members of the shelter never become independent enough to trust that what happens unseen/unwitnessed is trustworthy. certainly that depends upon the dynamics, but it seems that the sooner you begin developing independence and trust with that freedom of some personal secrecy the sooner a real adult relationship formation will abide.

I am not like you, from a long lost generation before the twisted pair gave way. summers from age 8 and beyond were days of unfettered freedom. I feel very fortunate

hmmm.

I have none of that stuff. My home was purchased new with some 10baseT wired to 5 spots in the home and to every portal (window, door). we have a solar power system with enough battery backup watt hours for backup even if it rains for two weeks

But I DO have wildlife like bobcats and hares and raccoons that are autonomous and require remediation occasionally. Luckily, their activity is limited to the out of doors.

are you sure you are getting what you want?
