I wonder if Virgin Galactic will be anything other than a doomed vanity project to compete with the likes of Blue Origin's tourist capsule?

They'll probably announce that only a British CBDC can trade or validate NFTs

let's close the barn door.

The FCC may have just advanced the industrialization of space.

The question isn't whether we should replace filesystems, but rather if we should move core file system services *into* the filesystem. That is, should we embed all of the things that locate does into the filesystem? My answer would be "no" (I prefer single-task entities where possible), but making a filesystem "hook" wouldn't be bad (i.e., trigger X when a file is updated, where X might be an indexing operation). Perhaps we should standardize more metadata, where it is stored, and how it is accessed. There's nothing wrong with storing that *somewhere*. Whether it is the filesystem or elsewhere is a bit of an implementation detail.

If you are not a religious environmentalist, your use of plastic is not a sin.

Clearly they are no longer just a neutral platform. They are now a publisher that makes editorial decisions.

Everyone libeled or defamed on YouTube can now sue Google instead of some random content creator. Google has extremely deep pockets. Lawyers are going to cash in.

There's little need to listen to politicians or care what they say.

So illness only happens to people because you have political disagreements.

Nothing will ever be good enough for zealots.

Hmm. Maybe it's just a virus and not some sort of sorcery from teh evil orange enemy then. Should we skip the ritual denunciation of people who are not like us? We can still wear the ritual masks and engage in the ritual washing.

Is France a blue state or a red state?
