1) Just a reminder that as #AI and #chatbots are taking off, demand for #electricity and other #energy usage will also increase. We should keep this in mind as we discuss advances in #InformationTechnology.

2) As #SenatorWarren pointed out recently, big-money #ransomware #cybercrimes will only use #cryptocurrency for payments.

I don't foresee the politicians, who are in the hands of big-money donors, ending #crypto completely. But at the very least they should find a way to regulate it and bring it under control.

curious to hear more of what #CitizenScience groups and #HobbyScience clubs like #AmateurRadio can do to attract and retain #WomenInScienceEngineering #WISE

I studied #OutdoorRecreation and #Geography, I am employed in #InformationTechnology. I also joined #AmateurRadio late in life.

My lesson learned is that vocation might contrast or compliment avocation.

I also acknowledge my bias and privilege as a white middle class middle aged male in Canada

How can I help?
