Replace the quote “delete and recreate the environment.” by anything else where the AI has jurisdiction.

Starts getting scary pretty fast…

@arstechnica Maybe the metal could be recycled for something useful.....

 Scientists just revealed how to cook the 'Perfect' Egg.

Hard-boiled, soft-boiled or poached. Scientists have studied how to cook the perfect egg and have come up with a new recipe that they say optimises its taste and nutritional quality.

Periodic cooking of eggs - Communications Engineering

Emilia Di Lorenzo and colleagues propose an approach to address the energy transport problem of cooking the albumen and yolk of a boiled egg at their optimal temperatures without separation. By alternating immersion in boiling water and water at 30∘C, the researchers achieve a fully set albumen similar to a soft boiled egg but with a creamy yolk similar to that of an egg cooked sous vide. The approach potentially offers nutritional benefit compared to other cooking approaches.

What is good personal #softwarehygiene ?
1. Staying up-to-date with security practices and protections
2. Selective about which software services to adopt (company values, reputation)
3. Nimble in transitioning away from software providers as they stray form society’s values or lose competitiveness (get away from feeling locked in).
4. Mobilize and sensitize your community. Through six degrees of separation, we can move mountains when it comes to which social networking services to leverage.

50% of Americans did not vote for the current administration.

What if the blue states left the Units States and formed a North American union with Canada instead of annexing Canada?

Love this quote by George Carlin:
"We have multiplied our possessions but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We’ve learned how to make a living but not a life. We’ve added years to life, not life to years."
