I recently bought a house and the seller included some slides from when he bought the house in 1993. They are still clear and visible, even without a projector. I highly doubt I will be able to share my iCloud photos in 2057.

Sorry I’m not finding this persuasive. What model? Does it have similar performance to the M4?

Who sells a better laptop than an M4 MacBook Pro?

Ok but who do I buy from? I agree Apple isn’t good but who is better?

The economy does not depend on population growth. It depends on productivity growth.

It’s self fulfilling because you (we) are in the driver’s seat. These tried arguments are dangerous because they make people believe they are powerless.

I’m not ignoring anything. What I hate about these tired memes is that they suggest there’s nothing we can do to move those dots. We do still live in a functional democracy regardless of what internet commenters suggest. It is possible

Then we agree. Piracy is a service issue. There’s no controversy that copying data is easy. That’s obvious to everyone. What you have failed to articulate is why that’s relevant in a conversation on intellectual property rights.

I really hate the “end of the empire” or “late stage capitalism” attitudes. They’re ignorant and self-fulfilling. If you really believe it then please go out in the world and engage people in a positive way. Go do some volunteering. Not

The value of ancient buildings is in what we learn from whatever survives. How can we rebuild the Coliseum to its original state without first learning what that state was? The Coliseum was operational for centuries and underwent constant

I'm curious about your moral justifications. Do you ever compensate creators for their work? Do you believe anyone deserves to be compensated for their creative effort? Do you only pirate recordings but still pay for original work l

Piracy is a service problem. Consumers have shown an overwhelming preference to pay for content. The only barrier to this are the distributors themselves. The pendulum has swung way too far to the side of serving predatory corporate intere

I use Fastmail and I’m mostly happy with it. Their design team is thoughtless so their web and mobile offerings are disappointing. The mail hosting itself seems to be excellent though.

How are you defining waste here? Nuclear reactors can’t adjust production rapidly and require peaker plants. I don’t have to squint to see how this is also solved by grid scale storage.

If you want to change the topic of this conversation to distribution resiliency instead of production resiliency then sure.

By definition the grid is decentralized. That’s what makes it a grid. Resiliency of the grid is a function of excess capacity but not the number of nodes.

That is what storage and long distance transmission are for. It’s very hard to take these tired arguments seriously.

Wind and solar are literally fusion power with extra steps. Running our own fusion reactors would be great but waste is not limited to fission designs. All nuclear generation has radioactive waste, it’s unavoidable. Grid scale storage with

Because it’s a moral obligation. The fourth estate is critical to the sustainable operation of our system of government and society. The electorate need to make informed decisions at the polls. In the same way lobbyists inform representa

Based on what? Why do you trust Microsoft’s judgment here? They are fallible like anyone else.

It’s not mentioned as a possibility because nobody has ever been able to substantiate that claim.

This is what’s so dangerous about the game the Republicans are playing. They are perpetuating a belief that American society is broken by breaking it themselves. If the blinders ever come off their base the violent impulses will be direct

Many local businesses in my neighborhood (there are very very few chains) post art for sale from community artists and the chamber of commerce for the neighborhood sponsors art walks. In that situation you don’t even need the overhead of t

Congratulations you discovered confirmation bias. Now consider where else in your life you have incorrectly validated your own prejudices.

Build quality is attention to detail, not reliability. Your hydraulic brake systems need to be flushed every couple years to prevent corrosion, even if you don’t use them.

Government IDs are not free or scalable. You need someone to check them. They also cost money to obtain. You have conceded that sites with user-generated content should be age restricted. The question for the court is if a state can pass
