I received a mysterious aerospace computer from the early 1970s, probably for navigation. It is crammed full of flat-pack integrated circuits surrounding a core memory module. Let's take a look inside... 1/17

Huge news for anyone working in tech in the US.
Noncompetes are now banned: not just in California (like before), but nationwide. Very, very relevant for anyone at Amazon (which is the Big Tech that has enforced noncompetes even for low-level engineering positions).

Question for anyone who writes or watches TV:
What are some examples of GREAT characters who were introduced BEYOND the first season?
Could be a new love interest, rival, villain, arch nemesis, suspect, family member.
But their arrival CHANGED the entire show for the better. – at Los Angeles, CA

He's right there different, and the confusion is common. The US Army got it wrong:
Rod of Asclepius
- 1 snake
- represents medicine & healing
- is never used
the Caduceus, the staff of Hermes
- 2 snakes
- represents trade & other Hermes things
- is always mistakenly used in place of the Rod of Asclepius
