We are witnessing the birth of Skynet.

Was your previous car a hybrid?

In the year 2000 I bought a Honda Insight, an early hybrid. I was surprised to find that it had start-stop: when I stopped at a traffic control signal it shut off the motor, then started it up instantly when I pressed the accelerator. A few times the driver of the car in the adjacent lane looked startled when the sound of my motor stopped.

The Insight had wonderful fuel economy. I once got 73.5 miles per gallon on a 109.4-mile stratch of Interstate 90.

I used that car as my daily driver until 2018, when I traded it in on a Nissan Leaf, an electric car, which I drive today,.

I, Steve Wozniak, did not participate in the theft of the BASIC. It was funny to me to see others enjoying doing this. I had never used BASIC myself, at that time, only the more-scientific languages like Fortran, Algol, and PL-1, and several assembly languages. I sniffed the air and sensed that you needed BASIC to sell computers into homes, because of the book 101 Games in BASIC. I loved games and saw games as the key. It was the [MS] BASIC that inspired me to write a BASIC interpreter for my 6502 processor, in order to have a more useful computer.

It's hard to find people with Tim Berners-Lee's integrity. We should 'own' our own lives. It's a lot deeper than just being watched.

It is hard to draw this line in a way that does not open the door for the rich and powerful to suppress speech they don't like. If I do line-wrapping on your text, but leave the individual words unchanged, is that an alteration? What if I add a footnote that exposes a lie?

Remember that a rich person does not have to win a lawsuit--he can drag out the proceedings to the point that you are unable to continue defending yourself. Even if you are eventually exonerated, the process is punlshment enough to deter others from doing what you did. Section 230 provides an early out in such cases.

While that is true, I come close to being able to express my ideas on the internet without getting permission from a corporation. My web site is on a computer in my home. I depend on my internet service provider, but unless they monitor my web site directly or break TLS 1.3 they don't know what I am saying. I depend on a company to host my A DNS record, but they also host my MX DNS record, which is needed for e-mail. I don't use a content delivery service: when you access my web site the information is send to you directly from my home.

Of course, my greatest protection, which almost everybody shares, is that nobody who is rich and powerful cares what I say.

Marie Antoinette says: Tell them to use EMACS.:

Roosevelt spoke these words in Kansas City on May 7, 1918, no doubt in part to justify his extreme criticisms of President Woodrow Wilson, whom he excoriated for moral flabbiness, for high sounding words unmatched by action, and for not preparing the people of the United States for entry into World War I.

I hope you checked the answer. AI can give excellent-looking but totally false results.

When I was at DEC code reviewing was not limited to the senior software engineers--we all did it, both as reveiwers and reviewees. I enjoyed the process, probably because it let me demonstrate my skills to my peers.

Actually, that was 110 bits per second, or 10 characters per second. A character transmission consisted of one start bit, eight data bits, and two stop bits. This allowed for an arbitrary time between characters, which was necessary because a character was transmitted when the operator pressed a key.

The next step up from acoustic coupling was the 300 bits per second modem.

I can't speak for HP or Prime, but those of us who worked on the DEC VAX were very concerned about security. We split the usual user mode versus supervisor mode into four parts so that RMS, for example, could be isolated from the user's application but the kernel remained isolated from both.

I would be skeptical that the "no advertisment" claim could be met, and would wait to see if it turned out to be real. Even if it were true for the firrst year, I would worry that the provider of this service would eventually start running ads to improve his revenue. Thus, I would likely subscribe month-to-month so I could cancel if the advertising load became too heavy.

Any movie made during the 20th century is owned by one of the big studios, as are many movies made since. However, there is a lot of movie-making talent out there. Perhaps the provider of this service can fund a wedding photographer and a starving writer to produce some good entertainment using their home studio and a borrowed set. An example is The Man from Earth, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0..., though in this case the writer was dead.

For 20 years, plus or minus, personal computers reversed that idea.

I gave all my Apple wealth away because wealth and power are not what I live for. I have a lot of fun and happiness. I funded a lot of important museums and arts groups in San Jose, the city of my birth, and they named a street after me for being good. I now speak publicly and have risen to the top. I have no idea how much I have but after speaking for 20 years it might be $10M plus a couple of homes. I never look for any type of tax dodge. I earn money from my labor and pay something like 55% combined tax on it. I am the happiest person ever. Life to me was never about accomplishment, but about Happiness, which is Smiles minus Frowns. I developed these philosophies when I was 18-20 years old and I never sold out.
