Stablecoins have their value pegged to fiat currency. That's why they're called stable. Its not about speculation, it's about an alternative to exchange mechanisms like VISA, Matercard, PayPal, etc.

What people want changes with age. Sex drive, for example, may wane significantly in old age.

It was called the address bar, and was used type a URL, not forcsearching. I guess after years of tech support trying to get people to type a URL in the address bar instead of the search field, some helpful person decided it would be good to combine them.

Additionally, Iâ(TM)m not sure Americans understand how much distrust Trump has fostered, not just through trade policy, but threatening the very sovereignty of our country. A large number of Canadians are avoiding US products, and choosing not to travel to the US.

Thank you. As a Canadian I find it aggravating that Trump is so obsessed with our trade deficit. USA has around 8 times the population of Canada. Why would we buy the same amount of goods from each other?

You can crunch the the numbers for yourself, using US Government data. Annually, Canadians buy $8,735 per capita in U.S. goods. Americans buy $1,213 per capita in Canadian goods. Yet Trump has the impudence to refer to this as "subsidizing Canada".

In theory, if the price rises high enough, it should incentivize other software vendors to develop competitive products. If Adobe's lead is so far ahead that nobody can ever catch up, then it's edging close to monopoly territory. Companies with so large an advantage have been subject to government intervention before.

They don't force anyone to buy their products. People do it voluntarily.

There's an old adage in sales that the value of a thing equals whatever someone is willing to pay for it. I completely agree that, for me, Adobe's prices are too high. But since many are willing to pay the price, I can't fault Adobe for extracting the market value.

Good luck with that. There are always going to be things for which an equally-good opensource alternative doesn't exist. And for commercial solutions, vendors invariably want recurring revenue. A similar annoyance - try to find a game for your smartphone that is ad-free and doesn't nag about in-app purchases. I would gladly pay upfront for that experience, but I think it no longer exists.

They're talking about how ChatGPT currently uses multiple web searches when formulating an answer. No, it's not a problem. In fact, it seems to be steadily improving and less prone to hallucination. And referring to AI as "sociopathic" seems a tad hyperbolic - no?

Yes, let's stop trying to advance at all. We've been wrong many times in the past, therefore we can never be right in the future.

I took it to mean that for computations involving a large amount of data, they are bypassing the need to transmit all the data down to Earth and then back again after processing. This avoids potential bandwidth limitations, and allows computations to happen in real time.

I've had similar experiences throughout my life. If I have the slightest amount of worry about work, finances, or family it will keep me awake. Don't discount the effects of what you put in your body, however. I had great difficulty with sleep onset since my teenage years, only to have an epiphany when I quit smoking about how powerful a stimulant nicotine had been. Similarly, I've learned that if I consume caffeine after 3:00 PM I will stay awake far past my desired bedtime.

If you've been around the Internet long enough, you probably remember the ILOVEYOU virus of 2000.

Within ten days, over fifty million infections had been reported, and it is estimated that 10% of Internet-connected computers in the world had been affected. That's 50,000,000 people who were suckered into launching a virus because a random email said "I Love You".

FTFY:
antitrust remedies proposed by the government is too extreme and will undermine Google's ability to completely dominate the market
