The ability to navigate spaces meant for humans, like the interiors of nearly all structures on the planet.

Did you search for what already exists before suggesting the world needs to create it?

Some people have dreams of the vehicle being reliable. No German car has fit that description since the nineties.

His first objection: if AI can truly do everything, then everyone can have everything they need, making the question of who owns the robots somewhat moot. His second: a world where AI is capable enough to replace all human labor yet still obeys human property law seems implausible.

We already produce far more than we need for everyone to have food, clothes, and shelter, yet we still have people starving, dying of exposure, and homeless. That makes it obvious that this clown is an idiot.

Only people in favor of treason and child rape.

All of the big Unix systems were rock solid back in the 90s. That was a big part of the draw. Sun was my favorite, probably because they did the least weird crap to UNIX. SunOS 4 was a no-surprises BSD, and SunOS 5 was a no-surprises SVR4. They just worked and you didn't have to do any weird customization.

Why did Apple change from Macintosh Portable to Powerbook to Macbook? Macintosh Portable sold like trash because it was too expensive. Powerbook sold okay, its poor sales figures compared to the PC market were actually just due to it being Apple. Why didn't Apple rebrand the whole company at their low, when they had less than 3% of the market? It was trash then.

California state websites are all universally shit. Get used to it.

This being government, they have to use the lowest bidder who can allegedly meet the requirements. Mostly that means we use Accenture. They are shit. Like big time, fully incompetent, oh my god I can't believe they did that shit.

To my mind the solution is to have programmers in house and save a lot of money, but that won't work either because government can't get its shit together to pay prevailing wages.

The car brand thing is because there used to be a shitload of car brands and each one was known for a different sort of design, so it made sense. Now that all the other automakers are gone, all that's left is those brands, so it looks weird.

About your last point, you're reasonably correct, which is why some brands have failed even fairly recently, and more might fail relatively soon.

Having all these brands makes sense mostly because people get cultish about brands. More brands, more cultists who identify with your particular thing, because people just want to belong.

SunOS 4 was great. I ran it on a 3/260 which I then upgraded to a 4/260 and got to run a slightly newer version. I worked for a chip design company which used a ton of it. It was a very reliable BSD IME and we did a lot of good stuff with it with very little hassle.

The community college I went to, which used to run VMS on HP hardware, followed their software vendor to an HP Quad Itanium running HP-UX.

Yeah, poor sad fuckers, I know.

I did a couple of consulting jobs where I worked on that machine, encountered HP-UX for the first time, and learned to hate it.

No comment on the Itanics, we all know how that turned out and they weren't that relevant to me.

Alpha was out of gas, it was going to take a rework and it was clear HP lacked the will. PA-RISC, even moreso. HP made Itanic the successor to PA in their product lines, which brought in a lot of customers who would never otherwise have adopted it. The HP-SUX work I did was on a quad Itanium. No clue which processors it had on it, I was not even slightly interested as amd64 was already completely destroying it.

I keep thinking someone will lick visual programming but it never happens. I've got no suggestions on how to do it better so I'm not faulting anyone, except insofar as that I'm real sure that the interface to Squeak isn't the way to do it even if the rest is good. There is now actually such a thing in common use in the form of BPMN, but I haven't enjoyed that either.

Can't you already embed a browser relatively easily? How does Steam do it?

This is cheaper and Fox will say what he wants already. Plus reducing the size and spend of the government is a primary goal. The kind of people who watch PBS aren't going to believe him anyway.
