Lucasfilms should have stopped making Star Wars after The Return of the Jedi. Everything since has been abysmal. That's just a fact no amount of deepfaking will change.

I rember the day in the UK when you could no longer walk into the shop with alien shaped bongs in the window and come out with a bag full of Thai magic mushrooms. The politicians said they were a slippery slope to hard drugs. As if. Shroom

Thanks! Naive question but could one not just stick the Nosql db on a dropbox and access it with family (trusted collaborators) from there?

Fun fact I learned from Licklider's archive at MIT: he was also an Emacs user! I guess that isn't such a huge surprise given his being at MIT, but it did make me wonder if Emacs is the ultimate interface to his man-computer symbio

Seems like a bit of a harsh critique to bring all the way out here on hn. Sure it references another Wikipedia page, but on that page external references to the same claim are provided. 'Allpoint pen' could just be internally link
