This Playstation Controller Certainly isn't Impossible
https://twitter.com/MAPP676/status/1270651487815897089
Question is if the processor and co. should be in the cloud, in a separate console or in the controller? 😎
Nintendo should do it.

Why does any Social network Allow Posts to be Deleted after it Spreads?
One case in point. Just outright deletion as if it never happened? This is a terrible way to retract information especially from the government. The tools needed for mannaging information is lacking. That's the big problem with Social Media platforms.
They started from making it simple for an ordinary user to make a post and essentially stayed that way as they grew while people used it for other ...

AntiFa is not a Group
Drumpf going on a tirade about it being a terrorist organization. Too bad, like Anonymous and The Pirate Bay. It will pop up here and there. Good luck. -
Social Unrest In the USA
Oh say can you see, by the dawn's early light. Yeah, right. Ask an American where these words come from nowadays.
United we stand, divided we fall. It has lost its touch.
Typically don't use memes, but this one hits the nail on the head PERFECTLY. Also, the image isn't embedded because I still have not loosened the filters to allow embedded images and links.
Social Unrest continues to build up
Pandemic = people dying, people losing jobs. What do Trumpers do? Protest against lockdown. "Ahhh, this ain't nazi ger...

Bad Information is a Pandemic
"That is not only not right; it is not even wrong"
- Wolfgang Pauli
Pretty much where we all are currently. Information that cannot be proven incorrect nor correct spreading around fueling sprees of bad information.
Conspiracies that most of the world won't hear, but enough for the Media (entertainment companies really) to peddle around.
FB, Twitter, Apple and Google are clamping down on ways to spread bad information resulting in some understandable misfires.
Apps being taken down even though there is no good...

Does True Random Exist?
Random only exists where something is unknown.
Does that mean everything is actually deterministic?
Life is deterministic if everything can be known or predicted.
Shit then does free will exist?
We can predict the future.
Does that mean we could create a Universe within a Universe?
Are we in a Universe within a Universe?
Everything I do is predetermined.
God is only a concept of an unknown.
Can everything be known?
As long as there are unknowns then random exists.
Will we find all of the unknowns?
Will that make us g...

Trello is Expensive on the Client side
I was curious about the energy impact of Trello on the client side, so I did some profiling (of course compared against my product) and I'm amazed that it takes so much energy. Most of the heavy lifting is done on the server side, so wtf? I'm not going to do any digging around on the account I don't have a Trello account anymore.

"Crazy" Ideas
https://juliagalef.com/2017/04/07/does-irrationality-fuel-innovation/
"I also like the strategy of temporarily suspending your disbelief and throwing yourself headlong into something for a while, allowing your emotional state to be as if you were 100% confident."
What is rationality anyway? Being able to reason? "Crazy" ideas are not reasonable. It is the only reason why ideas are crazy to you and not others. You don't know if the idea will work. You don't even suspend disbelief that it will work.
I know tha...

For me, Imposter Syndrome does not exist
Every time I see one of these imposter syndrome posts, I cannot relate.
Imposter Syndrome doesn't exist for me. Never has, never will.
It is a fallacy to think you have to be an expert to create things. It is a fallacy to compare yourself against others who may not spend as much time but get the details faster.
I don't focus on these details of life. I only care for the result and how to make things easier for myself next time I have to do something. If I don't get something, either try harder or leave it to a...

Thought Provoking #2: Lession To Unlearn
Another thought provoking post recently is one like Lession to Unlearn (http://paulgraham.com/lesson.html)
I liked learning, and I really enjoyed some of the papers and programs I wrote in college. But did I ever, after turning in a paper in some class, sit down and write another just for fun? Of course not. I had things due in other classes.
Lesson to Unlearn jives with me a lot. Like money, grades are a means to an end, but don't make me emotional or feel like I am jubilant looking at them. I played at a g...
