I think sports gambling should be legal because otherwise the Bookies will kill you if you can't pay your debts. At least with legal gambling the worst that can happen is bankruptcy.

The gambling institutions have some regulation as well.

I do think that gambling ads should be banned just like cigarettes, and pharmaceuticals.

USA and New Zealand are the only places that allow pharma ads and the public is uninformed to make that decision but the Agency problem means MDs will prescribe those drugs.


I've had several devices fail right before the new model was released.

They have open races every week.

I can place in the top 300 sometimes.

Python is basically the same thing, just slightly less thoroughly OO and with a different syntax.


The problem is that wiring standards change.

Ideally, you put conduits in the wall then upgrading cables is easier.


For a lot of people, $3500 is nothing especially if they are going to expense it to the company.

A lot of companies are going to buy it just to figure out what types of apps can be made for the platform.


Being able to code well is more easily measured than "softer" skills.

If you can't code, it's immediately obvious.

Being a good HR person or Inclusivity Officer is much more subjective.


Most pre-industrial cities were limited by how far you could walk in 30 minutes to the center of town where the markets and government would be.

Those Amazon delivery trucks are pretty light weight.

It's not like they are hauling sand, the boxes are mostly empty.
