You can buy music on Amazon and either stream it or download the .mp3 files to your phone or PC. There are many Android .mp3 players that one can download.

What a Bozo. They should simply download the .mp3 files.

Stanford is no different than any other C.S. majors. The market is over saturated with C.S. graduates and has been for many years. Take a look at the YouTube "Coding for Everyone" video and it explains the situation.

A.I. should be able to design the circuitry in much less than an hour.

I saved 4% on having my car repainted by writing a check for the bill vs. using a card. Fees are added to credit and debit card payments which businesses sometimes pass on to the customer.

The only time I change to a newer phone is if the OS is so old that the updated apps won't work on it.
Though there are apps that are *supposed* to make transferring files and loading apps "easier" they usually don't move everything over to the new phone. Specifically, the device settings/notifications and notification sounds. It still requires a couple of hours dicking around with the new phone to have it emulate the functionality that I once had on the older phone.

As for Apple crap, some of the users are a cult that will spend over a grand on a fuggin' phone just to have "the latest" one.

They're starting to plant a bunch of those spy cameras all over town out here in the Sierra Foothills. Both a little podunk town next to me as well as some of the unincorporated parts of the county where I live. I welcome legislation getting rid of it.

More gooder.

Sticking a kid in front of a screen is just lazy parenting. Instead, give the child some toys to play with to stimulate imagination. Read books with them to get them started so they can create images in their minds. Go outdoors with them and see what's going on out there. Dig a hole, make a homemade nature video. Go fishing or swimming in a lake. Ride a bicycle (not a stupid e bike).

What's interesting is the U.S. doesn't make the majority of I.C.s for the U.S. products. China is now requiring "permits" for their companies that manufacture and ship out products to the U.S. that contain rare Earth elements.
It's going to get interesting in that our automotive industry is dependent upon the elements as well as just about everything electronic that we purchase. I predict some backtracking on the decision once reality sets in.

Men typically perform most physical work for a living also. Construction for example, installing flooring, garbage collection. Jobs requiring physical strength. That type of work can take its toll on the body.

Also be forced to watch a half hour of commercials and upcoming attractions.
Add to that, a dweeb on a cellphone lighting up your field of view while you're trying to watch the movie.
For an added "plus", someone sneezing while sitting behind you and not covering their mouth.

I'll gladly pay to watch the movie at home.

Sixty-two percent of my property taxes in California go toward education. They still want parents to supply classroom materials. Add to that, our lottery system funds education. It's corrupt.

California's education is extremely top heavy. Two of my son's teachers became "assistant superintendents" . They also build many "Taj Mahal" offices of education throughout the state.

Politicize the education curriculum to the point where it disgusts teachers trying to do their jobs.
