I assume that the author has been on planes enough to think about this and make a website with a simulation. It seems fairly realistic to me. People in rows toward the front step into the aisle as soon as possible to gather their carry-ons.

Gold film with holes lasered into it should last indefinitely. Probably the longevity of the reel, container and building are more of a problem.

I'm also on Init7. 25gbps is pure nerd cred. The only hosts you can talk to with that speed are other 25gbps customers, with custom hardware, and an ultra fast NAS or sending random bits. I have 10gbps, also for nerd cred. 1/10&#x

I thought this was going to be a dig on the useful resolution of the virtual monitors. Certainly, no one would care about the limited virtual monitor resolution if people were going to run Windows 95 or DOS. That would point to a path to su

Monogamy as a norm is about stability. Without it, what would tend to happen is that many more men would have no wives and families. Which means they have relatively little to lose. Which could tend to make your society unstable, since thes

It is ironic. It's true that work isn't accomplished over Zoom. More generically, it's not accomplished by meetings. What does being in-office accomplish other than face-to-face meeting? Zoom is a replacement for face-to-face

I doubt it. It's much easier to make the ISP's block DNS, and perform deep packet inspection. Require domestic TLS to chain to the government's root-CA, so you have to allow government MITM. Trying to force this in the browse

Having "fast" tires on a bike is often a false economy. A little more drag is something that you can negate simply by having more endurance by riding more. I run Schwalbe Mondials w/ tire slime in the tubes, and have never ha

There's zero growth in film projection. There's 30 film IMAX screens in the world. So using a Palm device (or emulated variant) is zero risk. This is a good technical and organizational choice.
