The Perfect (Digital) Storm
We’re in trouble. All of us. Deep trouble. Black, white, men, women, all political parties, all factions, we’re all in this. What kind of trouble? Life-threatening computer trouble. Hold on there, you say. My PC isn’t waving a knife around. … Continue reading

Let’s Talk Briefly about Deep Learning
You’ve heard the name over and over, and for most of you it probably settles into the same category as Harry Potter’s “levitation charm” as far as whether you need to understand it. That’s cool, most people will never need … Continue reading

My suggestion on Gun Control in a nutshell
This has come up on FB several times, and rather than re-hash it over and over, here’s my recommendation (the first part modeled after the Czech legal system): In order to be licensed to possess any firearm (of various classes … Continue reading

Wow. Apparently, it’s the responsibility of “extreme feminism” for a $113 million expenditure that the military has in place for sexual counseling for female members of the armed forces. As if that were a bad thing. Oh wait, “Their job … Continue reading
