I've been using the Internet since I was around 7 (starting in AOL Kids! chats in the mid 90s, pre-COPPA). When I was 8 or 9, a woman in her 40s offered to buy me a webcam because she wanted to watch me touch myself. My parents had taught me enough about people on the internet that I knew to send the whole conversation to AOL support and blocked her.

It never hurts for your kids to know what kinds of interactions aren't okay.

1. Do you still keep in touch with anyone you fought with?

2. How was your home different when you got back from fighting overseas?

3. How were you different after fighting overseas?

4. Were you ever given a command to which you were morally opposed? If so, how did you proceed?

5. Is there anyone you can thank for your survival or can thank you for theirs? (Follow-up: did you earn any medals?)

6. If there was one thing you could have done differently, what would it be?

You can have the greatest idea in the world, but the physical world does not like to cooperate.

I'm going to go ahead and steal this line.

I read that social coffee breaks cause an increase in productivity in certain fields because people who are struggling with problems can discuss.

1. What kind of breaks do you have?

2. Do you work in teams when designing?

3. What level of autonomy do you have when someone comes up with a promising idea?

4. Does Intel work hard to keep its employees happy?

5. What specific problem (among those you can disclose) took you the longest to solve and how did you finally solve it?

1. What's the best way to upgrade my motherboard to ensure the longest life for its socket? That is to say, do some CPu socket types have longer lifetimes than others?

2. Unrelated, but what education programs did you go through to get the skills required for what you do?

Thanks for taking the time to do this AMA. I'm excited to hear more about what you do.
