When Kiddo was 2 or 3 years old he was using his plastic dinos to make dino tracks in Silly Putty. Eventually he made so many tracks that the Silly Putty was nothing but a bunch of marks. I wanted to make some fresh tracks with a different dino so I said

"Here, let me make it smooth" and I rolled it between my two palms making it into a smooth ball and I showed it to him

"Can I have the smooth?" he asked.

I smiled because he took the word smooth to describe the shape of it, not the texture of it.

Or only one time in the past five years, depending on where you cut (2014,15,16,18)

I'm guessing you haven't bought memory lately. DDR4 in January was nearly 3 times what it cost in 2016 and is pretty much the same price today.

I guess the reasonable way to handle this would be a sticky post at the top and make people click through to see the detail.

sound good?

SNL made a parody ad many years ago about Apple post it notes that were like a mini-Newton.

Write your note
Stick it some place
When it's done you throw it away

I think someone thinks that was a documentary

JGG is real! I saw him as I was driving past Le Sueur, MN.

A 200 MHz AC line would have terrible transmission power losses. They are 50-60 Hz for a reason.

One of my favorite youTubers makes 20k per video from Patreon. Granted he puts out a video about every 6-8 weeks but he also has 2 podcasts (each is split with one other person)

In my experience, even in the mid 90's, 3.5" diskettes were useless because they held so little. Most college students were using Zip drives.
Win95 'supported' USB and there were tons of ports on the Dells and HP of the day but there was nothing to hook up to them. The iMac really was the driving force behind USB adoption.

I believe it can be much faster because it's not SATA, it's hook right up to the PCI bus.

If the system is simple to run and replaces 8-12 other programs (food stamps, heating assistance, etc) and saves a lot of paperwork (means testing, income reporting) the cost might actually be less!

If people are able to afford basic shelter and don't get beaten up living on the street or needing a trip to the ER because they have frostbite, it will cost society less (and maybe the government too)

If an addict can be at a place consistently so they can get counseling and treatment to beat their habit and address the underlying causes that lead them to addiction and get them to be a productive member of society it costs society less.

If it gets a single mom from working 3 part time jobs to 1 part time job, society benefits.

Yes I do think there will be people that will be totally shitty people spending it on totally stupid thing.

Unless you do it so sales taxes do not apply to clothing and food like in Minnesota.

Yup. Fortran 77 on IBM PCs, late 80's

I think you have it backwards, there will be 4k netflix, only on Kaby lake, only on Edge.

Required viewing in my house every Saturday morning. Stewart Chiefet, Tim Barajin, occasionally Gary Kildall.
