I really like the anarchist societies dreamed up by Ursula LeGuinn. Anarres. The Kesh. Implementation does require a significant change of attitude, though.

What about Barney Miller?

Oysters. Snails. Mussels.

Depression. Sertraline/Zoloft. Months.

Initially, it helped a small amount. Possibly placebo. It was well-tolerated, so the dose was doubled. Then months (maybe 3?) of slight improvement.

But when it really took hold it felt sudden.

But if God sees all and has a plan and knows the future, how can we have free will?

It’s a planning thing. My company has sewed up power capacity contracts with the utility providers very early in the process. We have outstanding capacity contracts available for future build out commitments. It’s the folks late to the party that are starting projects without a plan and then failing.

Yes. Criminals are dangerous. Anything is possible if they decide to send a message.

The AI company I work for recently rolled it out. It works. We are getting alerts when we block the view of a monitored object or an unfamiliar face is in a secure location. Many thousands of cameras are monitored with minimal human oversight.

And use AI to actually monitor the thousand cameras. Ask me how I know.

Also, the food industry. “Modified food starch”.

Also, consumer goods. “Methylchloroisothiazolinone”.

Agreed.

Agile project management. And ticketing. And document management.

There are others. We are working on moving to Asana and other products.

Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time.

Cinema has it’s own symbolic language. As does music, dance, painting, etc. They are all different languages with different capabilities. Translation from book to movie is always incomplete, just as The Divine Comedy does not move into English without significant compromise. Adaptation is the best to hope for. And even that is often too difficult to accomplish well.

I’m no fan, but I imagine that there is an Elvis album on this list. Possibly Jerry Lee Lewis, too.

Xaphan is in one of those old catalogs of demons. I added the os to make it sound more like a name.

A true classic.

Once I was asked to troubleshoot problems with a screen share app. Turned out that the far-side was in Gurgaon. The packets were routed bia 2 geosync sats. One second up, one second over, one second down. 3 second latency.

All without explaining heat radiation, total power budget, physical maintenance, etc.
