IBM had been established for decades before the PC, also the PC in general was established for years before their entry. I think they knew what to do. It was a bit of a gamble, sure. And you can make the argument they guessed wrong. But

One of my favorite shows as a kid was "B. J. and the Bear" about a trucker and his chimpanzee oddly (now that I think of it) named Bear: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=bj+mccay+bear&ia=web Yes, the truck is cab-on-

Probably because it was aimed at business and IBM knew many of their customers would like to use something besides BASIC. So a separate minimal OS and development environments made more sense.

Take a substantial vacation, towards the end after your mind clears it'll be easier to decide the best course of action.

As someone with no "dog in the hunt" you sound entitled. I'm sure there is still room for improvement however.

The ones in the center are in all three sets, they do look the same. The outer areas are out of bounds.

Choosing to ignore clear trends is a strategy as well. I put away the smartphone for several weeks this year, was surprised how many things it discouraged and a few times prevented.

Yes, first line says this: We are right now in the process of… "Legally" part looks like a stretch goal to me, however.

It's a looking-forward statement... projecting current trends 5-10 years in the future. More likely will be a de-facto requirement to participate in society rather than a law. As I mentioned in another comment, many private companies

It's kinda scary how fast all this happened. Try taking your kid to an amusement park without surrendering your personal history and current whereabouts. They don't even care to support other avenues because they already know al

It's been worse with them because manufacturers decided early that electric cars would be wired with hundreds of sensors and connected to the internet to deliver them to the manufacturer and who-knows who else. Next, charging standards

True, everyone is trying. I do use cash and other mitigations. My point is that whenever possible, I choose when to share data, when it benefits me. Not the other way around.

It takes quite a while to mobilize an army across a continent on horse and wagon. Not to mention several of the Union generals were incompetent and had to be removed after they failed to deliver.

Southern states were British colonies also. There's very little likelihood they would have aligned with their enemy during such a war.

Having every move I make, including every fill-up catalogued for corps and govts then sold to a string of highest bidders is a non-starter for me. Luckily don't drive much, will be sticking with classic cars (circa 2000 :) for the for

Jump was primarily an incredible pop hit, with just a sprinkling of rock as seasoning. I'd say it crushes all those alternatives, with the exception of the Adele tune which was lovely, but agree it is hard to compare those specific tw

VH was never metal, they started before it with hard-blues reminiscent of Led Zeppelin with a party posture, then added piano chords and pop sensibility via synth. They were only in the neighborhood due to EVH imitators.

Indeed, accountants and the internet provided the one-two punch. I recognize the historical bias of "new music sucks." However I remember iconic hit songs dropping every single week in the 80s, from multiple genres. Now I hear a

The number thirty seems like a big deal at the time. In hindsight it was a minor speedbump not much different than any other birthday. Thirties can be one of the most enjoyable times in life, with an open mind.
