I was at the Publix today. The one I go too always asks if you want to contribute to the march of dimes, or whatever charity they are in to at the time.
I was behind a lady being cashed out. Cashier finished.
Cashier: With a sweet smile goes; Would you like to contribute to the march of dimes??
Lady: Ah, this is my husband's credit card and I can't put anything extra on it
Cashier: With a disgusting look says: What the hell are you married to?

A guy I know went over to check on his parent's dog to feed it, take it outside etc while they were gone for a couple of days.
They left the robot vacuum cleaner on.
Big Lab took a shit on the hardwood floor and, well, in case you ever wondered, those robot vacuums do one hell of a shit shine.

Joseph Sharp received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in Psychology and Neuroanatomy from the University of Utah.[1]
In 1961, he began his career as a research psychologist at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research where, in 1970, he was appointed Deputy Director of Neuropsychiatry. He has also served as Chief of the Department of Experimental Psychology and Behavioral Radiology at Walter Reed, and in 1969 and 1970, was Deputy Commissioner of Public Health for the State of New York. He came to ARC in 1974, and the last five of those years, served as Director of Space Research at the Ames Research Center. Currently he is on the faculty at the College of Science at the Southern Utah University, Cedar City, Utah.

Sorry, Pal, Trumps beat you to it. Btw, how long have you been in the Congress? 25 years? Why have you taken so long?

When journalist Curtis Waltman filed a Freedom of Information Act request with Washington State Fusion Center (which is partnered with Department of Homeland Security) to obtain information about Antifa and white supremacist groups, he got more than the information he was looking for – he also accidentally received a mysterious file on "psycho-electric weapons" with the label “EM effects on human body.zip.” The file included methods of "remote mind control."

The most well known and developed application of quantum cryptography is quantum key distribution (QKD), which is the process of using quantum communication to establish a shared key between two parties (Alice and Bob, for example) without a third party (Eve) learning anything about that key, even if Eve can eavesdrop on all communication between Alice and Bob. If Eve tries to learn information about the key being established, key establishment will fail causing Alice and Bob to notice. Once the key is established, it is then typically used for encrypted communication using classical techniques. For instance, the exchanged key could be used for symmetric cryptography.
The security of quantum key distribution can be proven mathematically without imposing any restrictions on the abilities of an eavesdropper, something not possible with classical key distribution. This is usually described as "unconditional security", although there are some minimal assumptions required, including that the laws of quantum mechanics apply and that Alice and Bob are able to authenticate each other, i.e. Eve should not be able to impersonate Alice or Bob as otherwise a man-in-the-middle attack would be possible.
One aspect of quantum key distribution is that it is secure against quantum computers. Its strength does not depend on mathematical complexity, like post-quantum cryptography, but on physical principles.

Thanks to quantum computing, computers are about to become unfathomably powerful. Instead of relying on transistors and binary signals as is the case with current computers, quantum computers use microwaves and quantum particles to explore multiple calculations simultaneously. This allows quantum computers to be blazingly fast. One prototype quantum computer proved 100 million times faster than its normal counterparts, and these speeds have numerous applications. Likewise, quantum technologies will also be applied more broadly than in just computers, reinventing many devices and technical standards.
Quantum computers will be able to simulate previously impossibly large chemical reactions, leading to new materials and medicines. Intensely precise sensors and clocks will enable disruption-proof navigational technologies, radars, and more. Previously challenging optimization problems, such as analyzing complex sets of variables to find the best asset allocation for an investment portfolio, will be within the realm of feasibility. The first country to successfully commercialize quantum technologies will gain a huge first mover advantage, both in quantum devices and in all of the discoveries the technology will unlock.

The biggest takeaway from the crypto craze is going to be blockchain. Immutable transaction ledgers have huge implications for securely transmitting information.
I have one of my teams PoC'ing it as we speak.
Buddy of mine sells for a blockchain consulting company. This guy started a tech company around 15 years ago, went public, made a fortune but pissed it away. He called me wanting to do something. Sent me this. Real Estate is perfect for blockchain to eliminate all the title work and crap that is associated with it.

Lol.
Spent the day with my new manager today. Been a colleague for 7 years and I've watched him just crush his number year after year.
He threw a copy of the comp plan at me and said that I have a reputation of being too nice.
Then he dared me to get a customer so mad that they would call him and demand that I be replaced for being too greedy. He said he wants as many of those calls as I can generate.
90 days in the bigs and I'm getting acclimated.
So Hollywood, I'd just wear an Allen Grayson jersey. Or hip check your customer into a table or something.

A few months ago, mathematicians Andrew Beveridge and Jie Shan published Network of Thronesin Math Horizon Magazine where they analyzed a network of character interactions from the novel “A Storm of Swords”, the third book in the popular “A Song of Ice and Fire” and the basis for the Game of Thrones TV series. In their paper they detail how they constructed the network of character interactions by using text analysis and entity extraction to find characters mentioned together in the text. They then applied social network analysis algorithms to the network to find the most important characters in the network and a community detection algorithm to find clusters of characters.
The analysis and visualization was done using Gephi, a popular graph analytics tool. I thought it would be fun to try to duplicate the authors’ results using Neo4j.

Thanks. Looks great.

He is getting the feds out of it and leaving it up to the states. My problem is Georgia, will be one of the last states to legalize. Florida is properly pretty close, so you can just drive there. NC is probably is pretty close. As is Louisiana, Don't see Alabama, Ms having it. Don't know about Texas. Arky probably pretty close.

Senate fast-tracks bill legalizing hemp as agriculture product
QuoteThe bill, known as the Hemp Farming Act of 2018, would legalize hemp, removing it from the federal list of controlled substances and allowing it to be sold as an agricultural commodity.
"By legalizing hemp and empowering states to conduct their own oversight plans, we can give the hemp industry the tools necessary to create jobs and new opportunities for farmers and manufacturers around the county," McConnell said in a statement last week introducing the bill.
In addition to McConnell, Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) are supporting the legislation.
The bill would allow states to regulate hemp, as well as allow hemp researchers to apply for grants from the Agriculture Department and make hemp farmers eligible for crop insurance, according to McConnell's office.
McConnell indicated late last month that he planned to introduce the bill.

They are close to developing field testing equipment for THC and then DWH money will make up for it.

The only problem with legalization at this point is that the government would be involved. The government can't make money sending the fucking mail across town/country when there is perfectly legitimate free market competitors that can't lose a dime in the same space. Once the government puts its regulations and regulating bodies in place they will lose money on something they only shuffle paperwork on as well. Fuck.. California already showed them the path to making it a disaster.
I doubt the government could make money off of pussy and whiskey.

NASA's TESS satellite expands search for exoplanets
QuoteLaunch of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying a NASA planet-hunting spacecraft was called off Monday to allow time for additional guidance, navigation and control analysis, company officials said in a Twitter post. No other details were provided.
Assuming the issue can be resolved in time, the Falcon 9 carrying NASA's $337 million Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, or TESS, satellite will take off from pad 40 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station at 6:51 p.m. EDT (GMT-4) Wednesday.
