I have sat through a few "license compliance" shakedowns. Sales guys intentionally misreading the license docs to see what they can talk customers into paying. Looking at you, Oracle.

I am convinced the models are not as good as they say, but everyone benefits from the continued AI hype, so nobody says so.

V-Chip all over again. Now with mandatory browser extensions which hook into the OS' parental controls. It's no better.

There's a fine line between night clubs and bars (and a venue can operate as both, depending on the night). Functioning as a bar where people come in, drink and eat - generally not checking ID's at the door. Functioning as a night

It was really awkward, I can tell you. The lesson here is not to invite your whole friend list.

I never tried a Windows phone - but everyone I knew with one loved them. (Most of the owners worked for Microsoft...) I loved Google+ - it was like Facebook without the dark patterns. So of course, nobody was on it (which I didn't di

For example, I know a gal who foolishly invited her whole friend list to her 26th birthday party. Did that weird guy from 3rd grade show up? He sure did.

I vaguely recall a Heinlein novel which explored it too. Methuselah's Children maybe?

The suburban wealthy are a little more McMansion/nouveau riche. Some of these people meet a certain definition of "rich", as in they never have to worry about money. Most suburbanites are not rich by that definition, there&#

I wonder if we'll see a repeat of what happened in the 60's and 70's: American car companies didn't want to make small and cheap fuel efficient cars, so an upstart (Japanese automakers) came in with exactly that and sto

The best shows I've been to the last 10 years have been at Reggie's in Chicago. Cheap, not too crowded, and lesser known but really talented bands. Reggie's hasn't changed over the years much - in the best kind of way.

Salient point: Caffeine is a chemical that plants evolved multiple times independently as an insecticide.

A recommendation I make where I can: OpenShot. FOSS, cross-platform, no accounts and very capable and easy to use.

This bit, I mean: > A wealthy nation-state with a sufficiently motivated voter base could certainly build up a meaningful competitor to TSMC over the course of, say, a decade or two (or three...).

China is 10 years into what you describe, no?

I did! That is how I know the arc is similar.

Somehow never read this one. But did write a short story ~20 years ago with a similar arc. I guess reading a lot of Asimov and Clarke and others will do that to you.

> Republicans may not like porn I am certain they love it, given what kinds of businesses see a spike when the RNC comes to town. More accurately, restricting it is a useful policy platform that helps them win elections.

Ahh, but I do miss all the weird phones from 1998 - 2008. I think it's ultimately the same process at work.

Who? I feel like there used to be a band by that name. Not sure what became of them.

There's a niche market for this. Whoever builds it will make a good living, I feel.
