But it’s actually possible to explore our solar system! We’ve been at it since the 70s!

idk, I think if we see even simple life at multiple points in our own system that we can increase our expectations for the prevalence of life very significantly. And of course given how vast and indifferent to life the universe is, life wou

So is it because the life signals so far suggest simple life that money isn't really pouring into an expedition? That's my inkling anyway. Turns out us apes are still far more interested in everyday stuff than even life outside ou

But what would such feature be? I'm thinking the personal equivalent of a fully immersive screen could do it. But if it's fundamentally limited, like more of an Apple TV device, then maybe not.

You have a point. How’s gaming on the Apple TV going? And Apple Arcade.

It’d be much more impactful if critical OS configuration was done either via text files (ala *nix) or cli. Either would need to be feature complete and discoverable/documented very well.

Really, to do something different and that might move the needle to new possibilities. The *BSDs and Linux seem like they permanently miss just a few core elements to be mass adoptable. Mass adoption would benefit everyone through things li

It’s not a labor shortage. It’s a shortage of willingness to pay people what they’re worth. Increase wages and more labor becomes available as more people see doing the work as desirable. Econ 101. This also happened after the 1918 pandemic

The economics of battery swaps are actually very good. But it’s a situation where a large amount of people would need to agree on a standard. Those sorts of cross industry agreements seem in short supply these days. Reminds me of getting ev

It’s a really good idea since apple is abandoning its x86 software. It’s an opening for FOSS to pull in new GUI frameworks/features. Could really help gain userbase.

And yet prices will be eventually lower due to the properties that get listed and sell in a timely manner. “Death disease and divorce.” We’re in a sort of awkward period where Wily Coyote has ran past the end of a cliff and has yet to look

Plus how is it going to feel to own this when battery tech improves and the range extender feels ever more obsolete? It’s a slower version of how computers felt back in the 90s to early 2000s. Ie as soon as bought it was quickly obsolete.

Many of the modern day investors and businessmen writ large have never see inflation, high interest rates, nor historical average interest rates. A better piece would focus on how corporations may and are likely to react once they accept 4-

It absolutely is not free to provide infrastructure and front ends to share videos. It’s not watching ads due to blockers that forces ever increased strategies. It’s an arms race of sorts. The next boogeyman will be stockholders who want in

Honestly, and I know this is weird, but I just pay for premium. I can download videos and the only commercials I see are the promos the YTers include. Not for everybody obviously.

Thats the point of the show. How long will the viewer be able to follow this guy down the dark abyss? Yes he could have stopped at many points, but the story was a character who couldn’t/didn’t. It really messed me up when he poisons J
