> Name a single successful tech company started by an over-50.

How about E-Trade? Bill Porter, age 54.

I'm not sure what year your photo is supposed to be from, but a photo of the actual U.S. team in the 2018 International Mathematical Olympiad, led by coach Po-Shen Loh, leads one to a similar conclusion.

> What's your favorite *nix OS / distribution, and why?

What? I'm a professional, not a hobbyist. My "favorite" is whatever I'm being paid to work on. If I'm working for a Fortune 500 company whose mission-critical app is running on a network of 15-year-old RHEL 3 boxes with ancient utilities (actual job situation), then that is what I work with to best of my ability. I don't spend my time whining to management about how they should be using Mint or Ubuntu instead.

Don't forget acrylamide. It is found in roasted coffee, toast, baked goods, cereals, and potato products, and will cause cancer if you live in California.

Of course I couldn't be bothered to Read The Fine Article, but did they consider the possibility that people who have to do manual labor for a living generally have a less healthy lifestyle than knowledge workers?

> in High School in the late 70's early 80's, I remember tons of folks parking in the student parking lot with gun racks in their truck, with loaded rifles in them....no problem.

In the same era, my school even had marksmanship classes for PE credit. We all got in a bus and they drove us to the police firing range and handed us .22 rifles.

> These cars need to recognize that they shouldn't hit anything in the road no matter if it is a person, pothole, or box

That's not always the best strategy. What if you're driving 60 mph and a tumbleweed blows in front of your car? And there is a fully-loaded cement truck behind you. Do you really want to slam on the brakes in that situation? There is more to safe driving than just "avoid hitting things". Sometimes complex decisions need to be made based on the consideration of multiple risk factors.

Lenovo had $43 billion in revenue last year. If my math is correct, this "massive" fine is about what Lenovo makes in 43 minutes. That's not even a slap on the wrist.

Since the poster lives in Oregon, I think, perhaps, he is referring to this.
