I started lurking in 4K enthusiast groups to see if they were all cracked up to be. The arguments about relative quality of various BD/4K releases isn't even the most interesting part.
It turns out that there are a lot of issues with set top boxes playing particular disks. The disks themselves also seem terribly fussy.
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.

Exactly how do they envision an autocomplete gaining sentience?
It hasn't been "autocomplete" in a long time. Sure, there's a training step based on a corpus of Human language, and the autoregressive process outputs a single token at a time, but reinforcement learning trains specific behaviors beyond merely completing a sentence.
Besides, the best way to write something indistinguishable from what a Human might write is to, well, "think" like a Human.
Educational standards have been declining for a long time. It hasn't just recently gotten bad because of Corona. Both math and English instruction have declined to the point that people like you are making excuses for remedial instruction in college.
The sabotage is intentional even if those doing it don't think they are engaging in sabotage. This is painfully obvious if you interact with the K12 education system.
Parents these days have to more to repair the damage done by professionals.
The kinds of foods that trash your LDL predate the FDA and the United States.
Sometimes experimentation is the only thing standing between you and certain death. None of us would be surviving cancer if not for patients being experimented on.
Beyond terminal illnesses, the regulatory burdens should be very high and not lowered because something shiny and new comes along.
Large houses in hot climates don't have enough roof space to accommodate the number of panels you would need to displace grid power. Using obsolete panels that generated less power when they were new is only going to make the problem worse.
Leaning into unreliable power sources when demand is increasing is just going to make any supply issues worse.
Someone posted what they pay for electricity in California and what their buy back rate is and their rates are insane.
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.
If you don't understand the math behind unsecured debt, you shouldn't call yourself a nerd.
Support bacteria -- it's the only culture some people have!
