So, you are saying that railroads made Americans more naïve and more callous. The snake oil salesfolks must have been delighted selling quack oil for poor neglected Grampa to speed him on his way.

Bezos's vision of the future is in fact a revival of a project of a group of big corporations in the 1960s to build a computing utility. It was called Multics and, like all big corporate projects, it was bloated and sludgy. Most corporations pulled out. On the good side, some of the programmers in that project went and developed Unix and C.

I would like to remind you that what Microsoft is doing, in a general sense, is how SourceForge almost destroyed itself. Microsoft executives apparently do not use Git, so they do not see how their actions threaten to destroy it.

Typical American foods are tasty but fattening. Diet foods taste like blip, and few will force themselves to eat them; Andy in Foxtrot is a joke when she serves such food. And nobody has time for health clubs with more-than-eight-hour work days and televised sports on the weekends.

I am sure the authors want the State to intervene, but with the Trump in charge, that is never going to happen. In fact, there will be less intervention to make the food execs happy.

So why did the authors even bother?

I do not care how those Bharati bros live their lives, nor do I care about their whining about five-day work weeks. Why are we giving them a platform? To laugh at them, perhaps?

If Intel and Boeing are so important to the security of our nation, then how come the executives of both companies are not in prison for their gross incompetence, which brought about the sour state of those companies?

I do not understand this idea that the hyperlink is dying. The hyperlink is the basis of the Web; without it the Web is a mass of separate files without a link among them.

It is obvious that whoever wrote that article has no clue what the hyperlink is for, but if hyperlinks do not work for journalists, then they have themselves, and themselves alone, to blame for their ignorance.

Also,what the **** are journalists still doing in X at all?

It is easier to go after suits who stick out like blisters than to go after the "lower-level offenders" who are more numerous, cause more damage to the internet, and who are so isolated from the suits at the top that they don't give a damn what happens to them. Yeah, let's go for the easy wins!

At this point Netflix, Max and YouTube are the thralls of Wall Street. Wall Street wants more and more profits out of the streaming services. If Canada proves to be a threat to profits, then the services will do what Facebook/Instragram did with news: Phase themselves out. That way, Canada gets nothing, and the profits keep coming.

The only mystery is why the Canadian state does not seem to realize that ... unless that is the intent: Remove non-Canadian programming from their internet.

Would TikTok's company shut down the social network, or wait for a court decision on the law's constitutionality before doing so?

It would certainly not divest. Partly, the government of the company's homeland will not allow it. Partly, why should that company bother to sell, when closure is the easy way out?

In monopolies, high prices and crappy customer service from mergers? In lies and deception from AI? That is what you'd expect from a Murdoch rag. Stop posting from the Wall Street Journal! Thank you.

Think on this: Chrome and Edge serve as readers for Facebook, Instagram and Taboola. If Firefox is dying, it is because the Web as a whole is dying, serving a smaller base of Web surfers.

They always say that Firefox is doomed.

They always say that because Firefox has a small percentage of users, even though it is level with a host of other browsers like Pale Moon, Opera and Brave.

Now they say that the US Government and Big Business will make Firefox useless, even though the Feds have to make their Web sites minimally functional for accessibility reasons. Besides, making a Web site for a specific browser is (put politely) foolish.

The reason why daylight savings time will not go away is obvious: Mr Businessman plays golf, and DST gives businessmen more time in the evening to play golf. That is why Congress will not consider (or will pretend to consider but won't do anything) abolishing DST. I am surprised that they has not been brought up.

Logitech rejoices.
