Stephen Hawking's words will be beamed into space - BBC News[^]
Today, at midday.
A fitting last resting place, and a fitting tribute to one of the finest minds of a generation.
Requiescat in pace. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

RIP Stephen; the overall IQ of the planet dropped significantly when we lost you.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

AssemblyBindings are a cruel joke.
Just spent 4hrs trying to undo and fix up a Nuget-based update that killed the code. Nuget was happy with it. The compiler was happy with it. Even publishing the website showed no problems. Everyone was happy.
Except that it wouldn't actually run because it kept trying to load the wrong version of a System DLL, even though I'd set an AssemblyBinding.
They need to make it easier to trace where DLLs come from. This is insanity. 
cheers

Welcome to good old DLL hell.

Just installed Lyft on my Adroid.
I believe that I used it once before while in a different town at a trade show, but that was three years ago.
So,,,,,,,
Anybody here got anything to tell me about it before I get a ride home ?
My car finally broke down totally and completely yesterday; probably going to a scrap operation.
I welcome any and all advice, suggestions, warnings, directions, guidance, or whatever else anyone thinks is helpful in this context.

Some charities issue a tax deduction slip if you donate your car.
Deduct travel for business.
AMA?
Insurance / registration refund.
Check the trunk, glove compartment, etc.
Siphon gas.

...so he says, "I need the myxl targ plinkle gop to onkatik shoosilfar."* You are confused. You don't understand. He stares at you.
*This sentence may not make sense because it is nonsense. Or it may not make sense because you cannot understand the Genius Principles it contains.
The Questions
1. Is the only reason that you do not understand because you are stupid (not smart enough)?
2. Or, is it possible that you don't understand because Einstein is stupid (not smart enough)?
How could it ever be the case that Einstein is stupid? He is a genius, right?
Well, there are at least four reasons that it may be that even though Einstein is a genius that he is stupid in this case.
1. He cannot communicate clearly what it is that he wants. Even if Einstein understands the extended principles of Quantum Mechanics if he cannot explain them in a way that that someone can understand then he is not a genius. A bit more on that -- Imagine if no one except Einstein ever understood Quantum Physics as he understood it. The world wouldn't have changed. He would've been a babbling idiot.
2. He cannot communicate what he wants to _you_. He is not smart enough (even though he's a genius) to understand how smart you are and alter his message accordingly.
3 He's confounded about why you cannot understand. He cannot tell that he is not communicating clearly to you. "Why don't you understand! It's as plain as the quark on a proton, lepton-brain!" A blind-spot (aka ignorance).
4. You are not actually smart enough to understand, but he has chosen to tell someone this message without identifying the audience in the first place. Not genius-level behavior.
Two Points -- (I'm sure there are many more)
Even if you're a Genius, you better know how to communicate.
Even if you're a Genius, you better know how to communicate to your audience.
