The Beekeeper meets AI
I had a talk with my father-in-law yesterday and this topic came up. The following happened to him. You get a call from your bank informing you that you are the victim of a fraudulent charge. The person on the phone has a caller ID stating that it’s your bank calling. They have your account…

68 billion, yes with a “b” that is California’s projected budget shortfall for next fiscal year. That is a big problem for our governor. To give you an idea of just how bad it is, our entire rainy-day fund will only cover about 2/3 of the shortfall. So draconian cuts will be needed/required. Unlike the…

It’s easy to say, harder for the Democrats to do. Honestly, the thing I remember most about Trump is not a slogan, a hat, or clichés. He made a big deal out of being treated fairly. He demanded it. He skipped a debate when first running because he said he wasn’t being treated fairly. He…
