on: Red Cross Raised Half a Billion Dollars for Haiti and Built Six Homes (2015)
There are so many other organizations worthy of donations - UNICEF, Oxfam, Partners in Health, and tons of local NGOs. Maybe it's time for Red Cross donors to look elsewhere, until they clean up their act.

on: Different ways to build a $100M business (2014)
The hardest parts are getting those customers and keeping them. When you are high functioning like me you can do almost anything in IT, but lack people and social skills. People and social skills are needed to market and use public relations to get those customers and you have to emotionally connect to them. You have to keep them satisfied or else they leave and go somewhere else. You have to let them know what needs your products and services meet, you have to find ways your product and services save them money and time. This is why 9 out of 10 startups fail, can't connect to people enough to get them as customers.

on: Vaping Is big tobacco’s bait and switch
I'm one the road in Albuquerque and hearing commercials on the radio trying to convert older smokers to vaping. specifically it is the juul brand. the pitch is that smoking is no longer acceptable so why not vape instead? at the very end of the ad they warn that juul products contain nicotine...... hard to understand how people profiting from this go to sleep at night.

on: True Random Number Generator for a True Hacker (2015)
BTW truly random numbers can not be used for live communications encryption as they can not be reproduced by the recipient UNLESS they have a EXACT replica of the random numbers or its audio image in a recording (See: American SIGSALY machine during WW2). However pseudo-random numbers can be reproduced live by the recipient via prearrangement but not easily by an outsider (See: German ENIGMA machine also WW2 vintage).
POTUS Thomas Jefferson invented a really amazing encryption machine in 18th century using a quasi-pseudo-random arrangement which utilized the ancient encryption art of Steganography. (See: Jefferson Wheel Cypher). It helped us beat the Brits here in USA and abroad. :P

on: California bullet train plan likely to run out of money before completion
The current incarnation of the bullet train is two things:
An honorarium to Jerry Brown
a payout to the union’s and bureaucrats to tide them over until the legislature can think up another boondoggle.

on: Linux Problems on the Desktop (2018)
Linux "sucks". True. For last two weeks I was trying to install a distro, that will work wirh my Broadcom internet adapter, but no success. Also BT did not work well. Of course I could get Wifi to work after a heavy and bloody battle, and only at 2.4 Ghz, but then BT stopped working. The point is, that all those are working fine under Windows 10. No hassle. My question is, why there is no Linux distro, that can work just fine out of the box?
I am not a system programmer specialist like 95% of PC users. Millions of people would like to install Linux, but just cant do it, due to lack of knowledge. Average person, just want to download, install and run a system, without thinking of finding lost drvers, kernels, waste time to search internet, to find a solution. I went trough dozens of distros, and could not find one, that would work with my ACEPC T11 mini PC. Windows 10 just do.

on: Is Matter Conscious? (2017)
I think there is a mutually intertwine relationship between Time and Consciousness.
Time => Consciousness => Time => Consciousness.
I don't think Time is inside Consciousness.

on: FastMail loses customers, faces calls to move over anti-encryption laws
Gee, is almost like the political grubs had absolutely no idea about encryption and how it works and how it will be virtually impossible to implement these stupid laws. Who would have thought that's the case? So very disappointed in all politicians at the moment, in my opinion, they're all scum bags
