Unfortunately, I think the problem is that they’re all too human.

I wish I remember the documentary.

If you’re saying what I think you are, the reason Lorenz was breakable is that the operators were making mistakes. Reuse of encoding data is a devastating failure for even the most sophisticated cryptographic systems. So is transmitting the same words (like the weather report) using different encoding data. Once the…

real talk. i wouldn’t be all that surprised if we learned one day that most of the tech elite (ie Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk) and many billionaires are not entirely human and that we are not at the top of the food chain like we thought. 

Only if you try to keep using them as money. You really think every kid that’s used one of those penny-smashing machines at the mall is a criminal?

When your entire career is spent trying to find patterns, you start seeing more and more when they aren’t there.

I dunno about the world as a whole, but I think the US is so numb from the past 10 years that most people wouldn’t respond strongly to alien life. Not to mention decades of sci-fi movies, books and conspiracy theories that have subconsciously prepared us for such a day. There would be initial shock no doubt, but I…

My wife worked Intel in the military. I would meet some of her coworkers at squadron events and, yea some of them are quirky. There was this one guy that everyone said was weird but they also said he was one of the best Intel analyst they ever knew.

That’s an awful return on $5,000 starting in 1965.

Having spent my career thus far in the public sector... government employees, even high-ranking ones, are just as capable of being batshit crazy as your Drunk Uncle rex.

Did he pay face value of 1 cent per copper penny? Because that is genius. 500,000 full copper pennies are worth $12,500 bucks right now (whereas face value would be $5,000)

Oh, so now you’re against gay aliens? Only straight aliens should have rights according to ol Damian over here.

- People that will use it for practical or commercial purposes: Are there many use cases where using this for AR/VR will improve, speed up, or make more efficient for practical or commercial tasks?

@Damian — Because some people have a sense of humor? Or because yours was shot off in the last war?

Plus, ex-intelligence guys have a tendency to be a bit nutty.

Michael Flynn was a decorated member of the military, too, so that doesn’t automatically confer “truth” to whatever they’re saying.

If someone puts in a 2023 order, but it sits in waiting until the next model year, do those orders just carry over and the person is forced to pay whatever the closest 2024 pricing is? Do people have to make a new 2024 order and hope whatever dealer they went through will wait for them to rebuild and get back in line?…
