I'm starting to see a trend of hipsters driving "vintage" (read: beater) Accord hatchbacks.

And another thing. If you type hipsters in iPhone, it asks you if you really want to say booster. I think that's a little funny somehow.

The directionality of empathy

The directionality of empathy. You get positive but different pleasures from both. I feel empathy for someone and there is an emotional component. Someone feels empathy for me and that also gives me a boost. But it's different.

House Finance Committee Members Took $62.9 Million From Industry Interests

SCOTUS tells us that money is speech; therefore restrictions on donations is an unacceptable restriction on free speech. If you think that's true, try getting your congressman to listen to $63 million of speech and see how quickly he loses interest.



Unfortunately, this article is missing one important information point. How much these individuals raised in total. It would be interesting to find out what the percentage breakdown in individual versus industry donations and also how much comes directly from residents within the district.



Maybe the people in their districts gave committee members $200 million and so the relative pittance from industry is inconsequential.

Power Profile Management

Create an adapter to attach to something you want to control power to. The adapter has bluetooth or wifi or radio access. Through a computer program, it can remotely manage a power profile for the house to control lighting, computer accessories, and appliances from anywhere.

And you could make compatible light switches too.

The device periodically turns on to charge if it's batteries run low. Radio is probably most efficient. Maybe passive radio switch which is only activated on a freq an hits a switch over and cuts itself off to.

And another thing. "There's an app for that!"

Fractal

what if there was such a thing as a Creator who stamped his creation with an aesthetic. Van gough's brush strokes. The Earth is some kind of a titanic master work hanging in a gallactic gallery. Let's hope it's not the doctors office.

Novel

I am apparently staying up all night writing this new novel. I'm thinking about calling it either, "Michelle's been out-of-town for two days" or "Super Needy Cat." Whatever its called, the sequel is going to be, "What was that furry thud?"

Machine world where communities of robots link up to delouse one another. The bugs that manifest in a free creative program structure like bad or abortive code snippets that crop up in complex systems and can't be analyzed by the self machine because of epitomogical limits within the kernal. And because it's good for empathy.

Story

I wonder if a computer which achieves consciousness would go through phases of guiding ideologies which may little by little be "corupted" by counterveiling forces coopt the system and then prepare to be challenged by the next thought. They will until the final outcome is derived. Hopefully.

I don't think you can say logical outcome because computer consciousness presumes an understanding of the illogical. Which may mean that the illogical is a primal force of the real and therefore will never be removed from approaching the final outcome of society.

Incidently, "most logical" is redundant because doing something less logical is in fact illogical therefore the most logical is the only logical.
