That stuff sounds too nice for me to have played with. Ravens and preds only for this guy.

Those were beautiful birds. We did a couple of test mounts on their hard points, but it was never practical.

Do you operate black sites? Ahh fuck it, it sounds good either way.

Not anymore. Sold in 2015. We had about 2 dozen guys in the sandbox at any one time. Air and ground.

Funny, I just noticed that my last non-compete fell off earlier this year. I do like to compete

I'm rethinking all of my Q3 business plans. Since companies will obviously need their own security forces going forward, it seems redundant to also hire employees. I'm going to put the old gang back together. I think my newly formed security corp would love to form raiding parties on their slow days...

I think tax returns for important national office is entirely legit and a good thing. I also think it should be extended to all House and Senate Committee members or at least the committee chairs. Even if there is nothing technically illegal, I think exposure to potential conflicts of interest is i...

I stopped in Chapel Hill, NC this evening. For the weekend. UNC Chapel Hill is the center of the universe for computer vision. I've worked with these folks for decades, but have never been here before. What a beautiful town. I didn't realize it, but classes are starting back up on Monday - so the to...

It seriously bogles my mind that most people don't realize : A) Tax returns don't tell you anything about net worth. B) Rich people don't do their own taxes. They are filed by highly reputable firms. C) Accountants are paid to find every legal loophole they can find, questionable or not. That is wha...

Sorry boss, we'll try to do better tomorrow!

That's what I wanted to hear.
You're in charge of the floor, Tech.

Apropos of nothing, I have this weird disconnect with zero or negative interest rates. A lifetime of math so I don't see "zero" as anything special. It is just one point on a number line continuum. I started out at a very young age designing motor controllers for elevators, and zero velocity was jus...
