bitJericho··on When city retirement pays better than the job
It used to be that private companies paid a heck of a lot more than they do now. The public sector won't let social welfare programs pick up the slack so that company heads can make billions.
bitJericho··on About Those Air Cushions in Amazon Packages
As an eBay customer, where the cost is usually a dollar or two cheaper, I find packaging is never a concern because robots aren't packaging my stuff.
bitJericho··on YouTube views down for channels with more than 10M subscribers, analysis says
First time I showed my daughter something on my phone she immediately zoomed out. Someone else had showed her how to manipulate a touch screen, but it was pretty striking to see a toddler adeptly use a phone. This was a few years ago now.
bitJericho··on Cat-proofing a cat feeding machine
You don't need a special device, just don't ever feed your cat when it's bugging you. You taught him that bugging you gets him food. It's probably too late now for you though lol.
bitJericho··on Uber is stubbornly refusing to apply for a $150 permit for its self-driving cars
We've had these in my small town for years. They can also influence stop light turn signals which is interesting.

All government workers must swear an oath to uphold the constitution. Snowden is an inspiration in that he did just that.
bitJericho··on Ask HN: Is your significant other supportive of your entrepreneurial tendencies?
It's impossible without a supportive partner.
bitJericho··on Filmmakers Ask Nikon and Canon to Sell Encrypted Cameras
Simpler, store two images, one encrypted, one not. You can only review and delete the unencrypted one. Your decrypter back at home could automatically remove the deleted images so you don't have to review as much if there were no problems.
bitJericho··on Google’s self-driving car team prepares to spin out from Alphabet’s X
They're not on time where I'm from.
bitJericho··on Google’s self-driving car team prepares to spin out from Alphabet’s X
Entire counties could offer cars to its residents similar to bus service now. One car could probably serve a dozen people. My guess is many people will want their own cat tho. It would be wonderful for me to go to bed and wake up 1000 miles away.
bitJericho··on Intake – American's largest psychiatric chain
Feel free to think otherwise, but we are living in a corrupt society. This isn't any news to anybody except those with no experience with any part of the government system.

bitJericho··on Where are the Voyagers?
Once we understand the physics, if it's a real phenomenon, we might be able to make it much more efficient. Compare a modern li-on battery to a lemon, coin and nail, for example.
bitJericho··on Where are the Voyagers?
Not doing any kind of reconnaissance before a conflict would be crazy! But I guess maybe they didn't think of it!

It's also my working theory of why we won in Independence Day the movie :) Aliens were never warring among themselves and/or allowing any kind of a hacking culture, so didn't think to secure their systems!

bitJericho··on Magnet Ban Cleared
My first hand experience is it works exactly that way.
bitJericho··on Neural Net Trained on Mugshots Predicts Criminals
Anybody who actually wants to be a judge in the American system is corrupt. The American system of justice is so obviously flawed that only a person corrupt in their thinking would want to become a judge.
bitJericho··on We Tracked Down a Fake-News Creator in the Suburbs
Wow this is really interesting. I did the satire writing thing and was disgusted when people believed it without question. I didn't want my real name associated with it, and so I would be unable to promote it. Promoting it under a fake name to people who believed it was distasteful to me, and so I just kinda quit after only writing a few articles.

Poor people can't afford this service.
bitJericho··on Symantec to Buy Identity Theft Protection Company LifeLock for $2.3B
This is a rich person service. Don't feel bad for them. What they're buying is someone else to watch their credit so they can go do whatever they want. The other customers are corporations that get hacked and then have to pay for credit monitoring.

Snowden is an American hero. Anything he has to say is interesting to me.
