To be fair, it's a lot easier to isolate an island than multiple international hubs for many different types of people (LA, SF, NYC). Also having leadership which denies anything is bad until a major sports league (NBA) takes action do

AI overlords would still require physical presence via metal box and electricity. Two scarce resources. I'll let you connect the rest of the dots.

They've recently changed it on macOS to allow you to free the hard drive space (file is in the cloud) but the metadata (file name) remains indexed on your computer.

Something to consider: Bitcoin is a consensus network. You can move to any coin/network/currency that aligns with your preferred "governance". That includes stablecoins etc. There are already services that instantly conv

What's funny is we might get there someday with enough server-side push and wearable/mobile/PC tech pushing computation to the cloud and streaming it "down" to nimble devices. EDIT: After further thought, I realize

It's always amazed me how anti-crypto and behind the times (about bitcoin) this forum has been. Remember your imagination for the possibilities of the early web and computers.

During the early days of sports streaming (sometimes still) you'd find a stream with a live feed of the stadium broadcast without the ads. During the commercial breaks you'd be able to watch what was on the megatron (camera pannin

The land was not otherwise in use If by "not otherwise in use" you mean not directly creating profit for US businesses then sure. A lot of things "use" the Earth that aren't human.

Imagine if ISIS had a twitter account or reddit fanpage. How fast would conservatives pass legislation to take it down? If the terrorists are white, they're treated differently.

The value of content creation has dramatically declined because the barrier to entry has fallen so low. I find great new artists every week and would never have to listen to the same song twice (if I chose). I can write a song, make a movie

While I do believe we are at a "benevolent dictator" stage of social media, what happened yesterday should be feared by every democratic nation and regardless of the "side" you are on it should be avoided at most costs.

They simply do not care at all what's being done to them. This is an ignorant view to take. I'm a pretty dedicated apple user but only because the other options don't have the tools I need and the UX I desire. Likely
