You missed the point. Notre Dame is still in use because they can fix it *with external resources*.

The population of the vessel cannot get *external resources*.

Indeed, Linus should have followed the example of Bill Gates, who famously gained dominance in the desktop market by being such a very nice guy.

The "are you 18" questions were such a cool idea and it's wild how they've aged.

OJ Simpson is

a. an R&B singer
b. under indictment
c. embarrassed by his first name (Olivia)
d. no one to fool with

The Switch 2 pricing was announced well after Trump was elected, and undoubtedly included *some* additional markup for tariff increases from the get go, since he had been talking about tariffs the whole campaign, even if it has been a continual game of roulette trying to predict the *exact* tariffs. So it makes sense that the Switch 1 prices would be more sensitive to the tariffs than the Switch 2.

Hence the rub: if I already know what I'm doing, I don't really need it, even if it saves a bit of time. On the other hand I tried several times to use it for things I knew nothing about (a new communication protocol, a very obscure bash add-on, a complex set of mixed-language libraries never meant to work together, etc...) and I got absolutely nowhere: all the code generated didn't work, wasn't even relevant and a big waste of time overall. I couldn't even coax it to give me even starting points.

Every thinking person cares.

Wasting the wealth on being nonproductive means we'll become poor again in a generation or two, having wasted our wealth by being prodigal spendthrifts.

That would be sad.

PHBs have a reputation for stupidity, often well deserved.

AI promises to do all the grunt work, so it has the potential to make everyone into little more than a PHB.

OK, give them all one of those travel bikes that folds up into a suitcase. That way nobody would have the advantage of a good fit.

What I would do: Have the race sponsors dole out randomly selected identical bikes to each competitor just before the race. They could even use crappy Huffy bikes as long as they're all the same.

That would kill two birds with one stone: Making sure that there's no cheating, and eliminating the ridiculous obsession the cycling world has with trying to create bikes that weigh only a few grams. As a bonus, the best *athlete* would probably win.

The bad news: Hackers have gained access to thousands of SharePoint servers.

The good news: It will be of no use to them, because just like the befuddled employees who are stuck using SharePoint, the hackers won't be able to find any relevant information in the byzantine hierarchy of pseudo folders packed with stale artifacts.

Everyone pile into the trades just in time for the next cyclic construction industry bust.

Here's another small tweak: Fold the line back on itself to form a grid!

That way, you can ditch the whole train thing and just walk to all of your destinations. Plus, you get an urban plan that has been proven workable since the days of ancient Mesopotamia.

Materials to build Henry Ford's first factory were delivered by horse-drawn carts.
