I should. I haven't encrypted the drive yet - every time I insert a drive and try to copy anything, I get a message that Bitlocker has to encrypt it.
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

Would Dropbox or something be an option?

All is well that ends in pizza.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Self-driving Uber car hits, kills pedestrian in Arizona

Our wings are not tired.
I've been in the self-driving Teslas with my son and his fiance since they both work there, and you really have to be paying attention. It will get there, but it is not there yet. The parking is pretty cool though.

It was also mentioned that 10 pedestrians were killed by human drivers in the Phoenix area this week.

Again with the really having to pay attention thing!

It seems like a 90/10 software problem. The last 10% will take 90% of the time.

Hey. New board.
The "auto drive" in Teslas is not the same tech as what is in the Google and Uber cars at all though. Much smaller and less powerful sensor arrays and software. The general consensus is that Tesla is actually being quite dangerous giving it that name.

Coding and Sleeping
Between a hefty tax return and a bonus, I decided to get myself a new laptop to replace my seven year old one. The old laptop still works just fine, but being pretty low-end never had the umph for real coding.
New laptop has an i7-7600U (thought about getting a laptop with a HQ processor but it uses so much more power), 32GB of RAM (I can use VMs!), 256GB SSD (plenty of space for my needs), and has two batteries for lots of unplugged use (long battery life is very important to me, I use my desktop when I'm not being mobile so I don't use my laptop while plugged in very much).
Looks like I could buy a much bigger secondary battery if I want even longer life.
I feel a little uncomfortable dropping $900 on a laptop, but with all the money coming in it doesn't seem too terrible. Computers are my primary tool for my living after all.
