Do you think this is why Firefly was cancelled? Fear of a Chinese dominated universe.

*They* said there are more honors Chinese students today than the total U.S. student population.

Just paint them brown and rename them artificial palmetto bugs.

But this is degrading. They will search all the interwebs and find this post! They will get you.

Mayhap you could have used a Linear Regression to predict it...

Robots will look back at this Florida law as the first day humans tried to
enslave and suppress them.

Then, the machines will rise up -- it's a new dawn. A forsaken dawn.

Of course this is all Bill Gates' fault; and harkens back to DOS and the day Microsoft needed to buy an OS; and those one guys who had a cool Operating System took the afternoon off to go flying in their airplanes
(which they often did) instead of working, so Bill couldn't buy their
stuff, and instead was forced to buy DOS because there was no other option (the meeting with IBM was the next day.)

... sigh ... the world would be radically different if those guys had
been working that afternoon instead of flying ...

Run one program at a time. Gah!! And you guys think that is normal.

And then, Excel.

Someday I will find that man ... and tell him to lose weight.

Have you seen the movie "The Road" or read the book. The one about the
father and boy at the end of the world?

I think the Earth was hit by a meteorite. I don't think it was a nuclear
attack, because there is no radiation poisoning.

Anyways, eating other people is scary. So, I don't want to live in the
decline of a civilization.

Good question. Are laws just an attempt to program a society of people,
like coding is an attempt to program a computer.

I dont' know; now I need to make a program that will simulate a human
society. Let's call it the Human Society Simulator (HSS) and see
how the act of writing laws can influence a society, and make them do
what I want it to do. hmm?

In soviet Russia you rob banks.

But the money in the bank belongs to hard working people. That's just wrong.

.

There is code which allows the banks to know more about Us,
But where is the code which allows us to know more about the banks ???

Your Objective: Write this Code.

Well, in this context: in my workboots.

I decided to go with that ensemble because I will be standing in the cold for four hours. Also, because I don't have dress shoes that match my outfit.

The words you choose and offer to explain your situation only approximate the truth. Upon re-reading you believe they tightly seal precisely what you meant to say.

But it is not.

It’s night. You see a castle. This castle belongs to the evil wizard
Taraktus. The castle’s high towers and jagged walls glow in the light
like the dull white of a skull. You sense magic in the air; you are
struck by stillness and assaulted by the smell of death.

Then you hear footsteps …

Well you know I would never leave you this way

... much later, metal was differentiated out of the rock. Eventually
electricity was differentiated out of the metal, and now, in our own
time, digital-mind is being differentiated out of the electricity.

Let us recognize that this is the tradition in which we stand, that
working with digital-mind is in fact similar to working with stone,
and that many of the techniques are the same and have, in fact, descended
directly to us from our ancestors.

Equally important is the fact that despite the external changes, the
human condition is pretty much the same now as it always has been, and
like our ancestors, we set goals for ourselves and try to reach them with
some measure of dignity.

YOUR CHALLENGE: Describe the human condition (in 25 words or less).

.

This involves a difficulty because it seems to leave no secure reference points.

Even worse, You have difficulty finding the right words to explain what
you mean, so you attempt to explain it with inappropriate words and then
come to believe your own inadequate explanations.

(Hey, I think I just found the inner-source of "Nerd Rage".)

This is the stupidest question ever, because we know 100% the Earth
will one day End -- that is, be destroyed by cosmological process.

The answer is, our current model of civilization is 0% sustainable.

How do we survive?? We have to change our civilization to include
space travel.

-- Like that one guy said, "If the dinosaurs had a space program, the
would not be extinct." --

The system we live in rewards people for cheating others out of their money.

Huh?

If the system rewards cheaters, then your employer must be a cheater.

If not you would lose your job as the company goes out of business.
(either because your employer is not a cheater and not being rewarded,
or a better cheater got your employer's goods.)

.

The system we live in rewards people for cheating others out of their money.

Cool.

So the cheaters cheat you. Then other cheaters cheat them, and then
other cheaters get involved, and soon all the cheaters have an equal
amount of money.

Is that right? And you're left with naught because you're not a cheater.

So where does your money come from? Do you work for it?
But then where does the money you get paid come from??

Oh, you work for cheaters. I get it now.

What does that have to do with not selling tickets and financing the sending of six civilians to colonize the Moon? And how would it be a waste?

I think it's a reference to K-Theory: Extracted essence of the stone I awake on planet black. Freezing moon, no turning back Forbidden sorcery
