Cars only survive as a viable means of transportation due to vast subsidies and a total reorganization of society around them, the most inefficient mode of transport you could imagine. They are not the future of transport, they shouldn&#x27

The founding members of the WHATWG really are the Thomas Midgley's of the software world. The world will spend the next century of software development trying to repair their screwups.

I don't think its reasonable for every site I visit for the rest of my life to badger me for the right to have a legion of companies spy on my every move. Crazy, I know.

Ok, but, like, imagine you are a fantastic artist, there's 100 paintings, most bland as fuck, and yours is the only one that looks good. Great, people who view 100 paintings will see yours and marvel at your skill. Now, we have AI. You
