And also the collapse of the government. They're totally vested in keeping drugs illegal. It's a profit center for them

Can someone explain to me, what would happen if Mexico tomorrow, all drugs were legal like Portugal? Could it get any worse. Portugal seems to doing just fine.

Could we just kill everyone in the world not like us? Would not just be how AI would work? Then ZERO worries? What do you think, makes logical sense right? /s

Never, ever have to worry again! :-)

We're actually talking to Google. If they don't up their game with their Alexa like device, AKA Google Home, it's next on the chopping block. Big disconnect there. She sounds like a robot, development tools are really a fraction of what Amazon offers.

The sales revenue is so high for their click model, their best minds are working on how to get people to click on ad's for shoes. Needs a shake up at Google, for sure. It's time.

Maybe everyone having to pass their fabled "white board" coding interview is leaving creative minds behind? Everyone just knows the best way to do a binary sort, and not much more. That's my thinking.

Wow, new framework.

I'm always reminded of my Wall Street trader friend, and his chat with me:

From 9:30 to 4, I'd kill my mother to make a dime on a trade. My own mother, that's how driven I am to make money. I'd kill her on the spot for that dime if I could get away with it.

Of course, after 4, she's my mom. And I'd love her to death. He works for a very well respected Wall Street Firm.

Food for thought. What people will do for money.

As a friend related the other day, "wow, all these coders, they want to be woodworkers now. What's up with that?"

Working in a fine woodworking, cabinet makers setup, vs hacking C#? Your call.

PS, you can make 3X in a week learning how to use a router, but keep it under your hat. And the girls LOVE carpenters for some wild and crazy reason.
