A perfect Communist economy could save even more money, eliminate most ads, duplication, and poverty. But they never figured out how to make it work. I'm not opposed to a peaceful transition, but we'll need a big surplus and more

Copyright does expire, for older books. It would make more sense for government to accept digital copies for any book, and share the out-of-copyright ones. In the United States, we have a Library of Congress who could do it if a law were p

I spend about $300 per month at McDonalds (after $50 from app discounts), and can confirm they don't provide better service or stop forgetting items in my bag. Differentiated pricing is a future concern, but states are preventing that

It's on Google AI Studio, which I use for free when I'm not on computers I control. It did fine on my usual benchmark about configuring old Sparc hardware, maybe output slightly faster than before. Even included something new to

Unlike a disc, you can't use the code without going through the PlayStation Store. And you likely cannot resell it, either. You can't buy a non-Sony PlayStation, I guess they'll argue it's similar.

Data centers belong in "industrial areas", ignore the snarky jokes about them being as bad as the coal plants they are replacing. People have legitimate complaints when they are built within audible distance of housing.
