The open question among NonStop attendees of the most recent Regional User Group (RUG) meetings has revolved around investments.

The threats associated with the GDPR are obvious, but could the GDPR be regarded as an opportunity? Imagine a storage space in your home, be it a closet, the garage, the basement or the attic, and it’s packed from floor to ceiling with stuff. Some of it you could definitely still use, some not!

In 1984 I wrote a multi-threaded NonStop TAL program as part of the SNAX/HLS product set. It was painfully hard. In 2018, I watched a few hours of videos, implemented a deep-learning algorithm, and got listed on the KAGGLE competition leaderboard[1]. I did this to learn about the human brain.

I have a rusty old bicycle tucked away in the back of my garden house. I look at it with warm affection, remembering those bygone days when it carried me around the heather-scented countryside of Brittany in northern France as a teenager.

“Good things come in pairs,” or so we have been led to believe. Or, more commonly stated, “It takes two to tango, two to kiss, two to talk and reminisce.” Over the years, Margo and I have had a pair of this and that – first it was his and her Corvettes and more recently, a pair of BMWs.

And the hits keep on coming! How many of us tuned in our favorite radio show – yes, we are talking about the time before streaming music and iPods – where the radio announcer cheerfully talked of hit songs that would continue without interruption for the next 20 or 30 minutes? Sometimes these songs were simply a blur in the background ... read more

I wonder how many readers of “The NonStop Insider” caught the premier of “This is AI” on the Discovery Channel June 22. I found it to be a thoughtful discussion of the topic of Artificial Intelligence. The documentary avoided dwelling on the “Hollywood-style” negative or malevolent aspects of AI, as portrayed in movies such as “2001-A ... read more
