Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Interesting talk (just over an hour) by Naval Ravikant (skip the first minute of bad audio)

- If you're pressed for time or process things better by reading - here are the notes from the above Periscope

- Speaking of Naval - here he helps explain blockchain in 90 seconds

- Good Anthony Bourdain interview from 2016. As a nice touch they have added Suicide Hotline info at the end of the article.

- Heh Heh

- Very cool - honeybees seem to understand the concept of zero

- This is a very good point. And no trade deficits isn't an argument or explanation for others applying unfair tariffs to us.

Walmart's Robot Bees

Walmart has filed a patent on robot, autonomous bees. These robot bees can be used to autonomously pollinate flowers just like real bees. At least that's the public explanation being rolled out by Walmart's public relations people of why the bees are being developed.

Conspiracy theorists probably believe the real reason is this is the first step in the Mega-Corporation Robot Wars. These robot bees would be just the right tool to randomly disable Amazon delivery drones. Just a couple robot bees "accidentally" sacrificing themselves into the rotor blades of the Amazon drones will be just enough to put a black mark on Amazon's delivery record.

Just the first step.

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

I was at the game in Miami this weekend where Tom Brady passed Dolphins legend Dan Marino on the all-time passing yards list. No public announcement was made. I thought that was very disrespectful to both players... Heh heh... With Bob Dylan being named a Nobel Prize winner in 2016 - can Alice Cooper being named US Poet Laureate in 2017 be far behind?... Size matters... When people ask me if I've seen Rogue One I always respond, "No - how does it compare to the original Spy Kids?" just to confuse people... Speaking of Tom Brady - good take on how Roger Goodell actually helped the Patriots by being such a jackhole... I would love if MLB would start referring to left-handed pitchers as "Left-wingers" and right-handed pitchers as "Right-wingers" just to mess with people...  How about "NO THANK YOU!"... I think the owl on Hooter's logo - one eye should be colored pink and the other brown. Who's with me?... Ummm...
