Seems to me that human-created content is, or soon will be, a luxury item. Maybe the lowest subscription tier gets AI slop, but the premium tier can have stories and articles written by actual, you know, authors. Which brings up the problem

This, my friend, is the human condition. When we're children, a summer can seem like forever. At my age (80) the years fly by. Think of it this way: When you're ten years old, and somebody tells you that you can't have a cert

Yeah, not my brand of meditation. It's organic, gluten-free, and non-GMO. We've got endorsements from Gwyneth Paltrow and Deepak Chopra, and we're FCC certified and UL approved. Come on baby light my fire! Well OK that was a

Since this uses a substrate containing lead, I wonder if that will be a problem with commercialization.

This is way too idealistic. Sure, human 'wisdom' will become more valuable, mostly as grist for training AI. But what about all the displaced workers? Even if you won't be displaced yourself, there are millions of workers who

It's great that the recording medium has a virtually unlimited dynamic range, but it seems to me that the analog devices in front of it (mics, preamps) don't have that ability.

What's that old saying? Don't put all your eggs in one basket? Seems to me that applies to all of these megacorps who want you to entrust them with every aspect of your life.

A car is a substantial investment. If it's dependable, affordable, comfortable, has adequate passenger and cargo room, then I start thinking about "fun" and "sporty" and "stylish." Of course an auto manufa

As Groucho said, I don't want to belong to any club that would have me as a member. Here's the thing -- by making it a 'club', and making prospective 'members' pass muster, you're just replicating HR at a

Not a problem, I just bought a couple of new pairs. I lost a bunch of weight recently and can't resist showing off.

This is a politically biased essay that makes controversial assertions, many of which seem to be Republican talking points.

Oh good. A wonderful new way for Google to learn more about its customers. We can expect ever more intrusive and targeted ads. This seems to be a foolproof strategy -- complaining about lack of privacy is mostly limited to us olds, and we&#

This concept sounds like it has serious privacy and security issues. Where is the data being aggregated? Who has access to it? Who owns and controls it?

That's debatable. In the US today, poor people are definitely less healthy than well-off people, due to our dysfunctional health care system and other inequalities. And it's a lot easier to find happiness if you don't have th

So, another way for apps to send your data to the cloud behind the scenes?

That's called "negotiating." Each side comes in with a list of demands, and then they try to find a middle ground that both parties can accept. At least that's the way grown-ups do it.

You can argue all you want, but US economic policy isn't currently based on reason or logic, and US consumers are unlikely to see those brands any time soon.

Nope, the world is really changing, in quantifiable ways. Certainly there is a human tendency to romanticize the past, but if you haven't noticed major upheavals like social media, climate change, and geopolitical realignment, you&#x27

I dunno why you had problems, but I've been using Coinbase with no problems at all for years. It's linked to my bank account, so if I want to pay for something with bitcoin, I can easily buy and send bitcoin with just a few clicks

Well of course that's only a symptom. The real problem is people having sex for pleasure instead of procreation. The only legal sex should be hetero, christian, with a spouse, missionary position, with as little flesh exposed as possib
