you can do that now and find out the u.s. account at the time was nonsense. Go to wikipedia and see.

my dictator can tax the crap out of us with tariffs on imports from your dictator. we sure showed you who the bitch is!

When Commerce Secretary Hoover got Congress to create the FCC's predecessor in 1927, it explicitly required spectrum allocation to be based on "the public interest", overturning the private property rights common law had been developing. This was done at the behest of the new radio network cronies. This led to all sorts of censorship, eventually enshrined as the fairness doctrine. The FCC also flexed its muscles to delay FM radio, cable TV, cell phones, color TV, WiFi, and I forget what else, by 10-20 or more years.

There's a great book on this, "Political Spectrum", by Thomas Hazlett. A good review: https://www.hoover.org/researc...

Wrong, it's 100% on the teen's parents. Blaming internet or some chatbot is being the typical modern snowflake trying to shift blame where it doesn't belong.

I found out and it's boring. Amazon has 60 crashes per million miles, half of USPS rate.

Huh. I coulda sworn mine had the crank. On the other hand, maybe they only promised it for later delivery and I barely used it after a few days experimenting, since it was so limited, and eventually tossed it along with a lot of other eWaste.

Many many years ago, I bought an OLPC, actually a pair, one for me, the other they sent to Africa or some other place. I do not remember the year even vaguely. I do remember it had a crank to windup and charge the battery. I bought the two because (from memory) the purpose of the laptop was strictly limited:

* Carry all textbooks on one laptop, instead of having to walk miles to school and back with a heavy backpack.

* Have modern eBook textbooks, not fifth generation hand-me-downs which had been written in a different language for a different country. This was certainly important for indoctrination in local history and culture, but it even applied to math textbooks, whose examples could well use cultural aspects which were literally foreign.

* Be rechargeable with that windup crank for kids whose homes had no electricity.

* Use a screen to read those books instead of having to stop using them after dark or by candles or oil lamps.

In particular, I had never heard that they were meant to teach computer science. It might have been a nice side effect, but I did not think it was any kind of a primary goal. The primary goal was to help young children learn.

Robots will replace most of those and very soon, not Musk's but Chinese ones. Their construction robots are already doing amazing things with a single human supervisor

Road workers? Plenty of things are replaceable now. That flagmag? road painter? pouring concrete?

it's coming.

Deflation and slowing of economy wouldn't be allowed though, Fed would pump money. Your inner Jew needs to be channeled into bargain hunting and saving with investment to have peace.

those asian and european lines through wilderness don't prove a thing about trying to get into a dense extended metropolitan area that covers more than one state, with already occupied rail lines that are core to the U.S. economy carrying 40% of the ton-weight for long distance.

So, have to build over highways, or do other elevated, wickedly expensive. Down into the water table around Great Lakes is a bad idea.

Yes that is my point, there are occupied rail corridors that will not shut down and move aside into a pocket dimension. Not a matter of "hard" or "closed minded" , economic and engineering reality are the questions. An elevated rail could do it, that is wickedly expensive. Whatever place you are talking about has wide open land. I see the problem all right, starry eyed dreamers with romantic notions, comparing their empty asian and european wildernesses with Chicago urban area, lolz!

The "walkable city" does have proselytizers saying those things. Here around Chicago we have such groups and even our current state government is pushing it. So I pointed out a stupid thing that really is advocated is stupid, and you are losing your shit over it. Good work sport, watch that blood pressure.

That initial wide section is only hundreds to maybe 1,000 feet deep. No one is making meter wide boring to 1 km outside of reaming between sections of a mine that already exist, or prove me wrong

Sometimes updates re-enable those settings, hahaha.

You can't unenshittify Windows. You're gonna take it in the keister!
