Firebase. AWS. S3.

Bushwick, Brooklyn.

Bootstrap too.

As a most awesome MD, really at the front lines told me once after a 36 hour shift:

1. 50% of the patients are in this hospital are here because of medical errors.

2. Don't get sick.

But if you do get crushed by a car, you really are going to be damn happy I'm here.

Why does it always have to be a "Nation State", have been hanging out with 17 year old's that knew far more about DNS configs than a room of "Cyber-Security-Professisonals", they were clueless, these kids could run circles around them.

Kids.

I'm just so over Assange. Good. Cut his damn internet access. He's really starting to remind of that kid who just bugs you so much. Just go away please.

That gigabyte file he's holding onto? Supposed to be a bunch of cat gifs, or so an "insider" told me.

For some reason, I have NO idea why, just like Angular. Just something kind of cool about it. React I'm sure is awesome, but Angular just seems to have something special. Just that extra "something."

In the future you will be able to run a multitude of blood tests on a single drop of blood. Just the future is not here just yet. Just like DNA. You amplify. And amplify. And a very cool guy got a Nobel prize for that.

U would be amazed at what happens at mega companies. Blown Away.

Funny story: the other talking to the CEO of a mega corporation. They fired a senior person here, #1 employee. Told him about it, he did even know it happened. And she reported to him. He thought she was on vacation.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Hung out with a brilliant heart surgeon, genius. I asked him about what cartoons he watched growing up.

He said "what's a cartoon?" He was dead serious. Parents would never let him not study. Never.

100+ hour weeks. Zero time for anything else. He was happy, rich, had it all. But wondering if he every found time to watch a cartoon.

The actual life expectancy in NYC is actually not too bad.

> New York City's life expectancy rate has increased by three years since 2001, far greater than the nationwide increase of nearly 1.8 years over the same period.

People should also know that people go to jail for years for 1 failed drug test in rural communities. Happens everyday, just not on our radar.

Take a break, watch Bachelor in Paradise. You think people are crazy? You ain't see nothing yet.

Plan B? Go to India, take off a few weeks. Your mind will be blown.

Then come back to planet earth. The internet thing is getting a bit old, farming is hot, maybe a career change is due.

As a social experiment years ago, I interviewed 1000s of NYC taxi passengers. Just zillions really over a few years.

My conclusion, based on my data collection (WASP here).

The most friendliest people on the planet were Pakistani. Number 2? Egyptian.

Always found that kind of interesting for a 5th generation New Yorker. Of course your mileage my vary. But that's what I discovered. As far as I know, no one else has ever conducted that survey, before or since.

NYC does try. But overall it's beyond a disaster. Is there even a thinker anywhere here? People just sit for hours in traffic and just know one cares.

Pittsburgh has been hip for a wild. It's pretty cool for sure. Reality is it's hard to top Bushwick, Brooklyn, it's pretty far out, but the people in 'Pitt, give it a run for it's money.

Its always so awesome when people think so far out. I'm still trying to get of bed. His web site is so retro, it's just cool x 10. :-)

Boys just love to blow shit up. Pretty insane if you ask me.

WeWork was "Ok." Have moved on. Staff seems to turn over lots.

Had some dealings with them over a deposit, thought it could have gone much better. Had a hard time finding basic account info. They just did not seem like a "mature" organization. But that was a year ago. Maybe things have changed. Overall, give them a "B."

Now in a Non Profit space, WOW, totally different vibe for sure. A+ here. :-)

Is it me, but is not Angular just taking over? Kind of Google vs Facebook thing. Just think Google won this one.

They do. It's a big read too.

This reminds me of talks with my dentist. Me: What about mercury fillings, could they really harm you, or is that just a bunch of BS. Dentist: That's crazy. There is nothing wrong with mercury fillings. Nothing. Me: Would you use them for your children? Dentist: What! Never, composites only. The science is really not out yet on that.

An interesting talk for sure. :-)

If it's GMO put a label in it. What's the big deal? The way companies try to skirt that law is pretty mind blowing. Companies number 1 priority is shareholder value, consumer safety is a distant 2nd place.

Take it slow, what's the rush? 40% of food now goes to wast. People seem to forget that farmers that don't use GMO crops are probably far more conscience about other aspects of the food chain than Monsanto, that's just common sense.

My understanding is building ships is our jobs programs. Thought that all 50 states had a role in building one ship in the end.

Isn't that what war is all about? Boys and testosterone? It's that simple. Boys and toys. Someday we will advance as a society beyond that, but who knows when that will be.

Guess one can say, "hey we need this to advance our science, war is the big experimental space."

Don't really seeing Elon Musk doing much war planning. He does seem to be getting us to Mars just fine.

The amount of $$$s spend building one ship could probably build a heck of a lot of hosptials and universities, all around the world, but guess that would be just kind of boring.

There are still many people in my Brooklyn 'hood that can't read and write. Think that would be a far better mission, AKA Education. But just my opinion. Maybe we can do both?

Chamath Palihapitiya is quoted in the article. He is about to rock Silicon Valley. He is a new voice, keep your radar up. The guy is for real.

I'm confused, we're supposed to support an arms deal, while the word is having a hell of a time keeping it all together? Are we not past this boys and testosterone thing? It's not the 12th century.

Lets grow up kids. Just get to Mars already.

Great article. One small issue. In a group of developers the other night. A young lady walked in, the team of (all males), were asked by her. "Where do you think I should go, where to end up?"

The answer from ALL 10 developers was: California California California California California California California California California California

It's the nature. The weather here, really summer is great, but otherwise, it sucks. We have had months of just cold, rainy ,lousy weather. Nature? Line up to rent a car.

NYC is so crammed with bodies, it's jut not fun. Try to get on the 6 train at 5 PM. I say no more. If that's "fun" for you, I'm assuming that inserting a pointed stick in your eye is too. (IMHO)

Does anyone think that may backfire? Wow, talk about dumber than a box of burnt hair.

We're Saudi Arabia, we rule you American's. Piss us off, and we'll, crush you like "a fly."

Oh boy. Can't wait to see Trumps twit on this one. :-)

Iran is not perfect, LOTs of major issues there, but think they would be the one for sure we should be betting on.

So in the case of an accident, Brooklyn and Queens are dead, but the South Bronx is awash in water? hmmmmmm. :-)

Guess the next step is to embed them into your eyes when your are born. Built in VR.

The word now is you can spend for sponsorship. Both CIA and Pentagon rebels. For $100 you get a shoulder patch, for $25 they'll put a logo on a boot. For $50 you get your internet startup company name on a hat. Heard ad space is going quick.

America, are we the greatest or what. USA rocks. :-)
