For 20 years, plus or minus, personal computers reversed that idea.

I gave all my Apple wealth away because wealth and power are not what I live for. I have a lot of fun and happiness. I funded a lot of important museums and arts groups in San Jose, the city of my birth, and they named a street after me for being good. I now speak publicly and have risen to the top. I have no idea how much I have but after speaking for 20 years it might be $10M plus a couple of homes. I never look for any type of tax dodge. I earn money from my labor and pay something like 55% combined tax on it. I am the happiest person ever. Life to me was never about accomplishment, but about Happiness, which is Smiles minus Frowns. I developed these philosophies when I was 18-20 years old and I never sold out.

Known VPN services have identifiable server addresses that can be blocked. Instead, you can set up a cheap raspberry pi (or other) at your home and use an encrypted SSH connection to that [raspberry pi] from far away. Then turn on your SOCKS proxy (part of WiFi Details on Macintosh) and check to see that your IP address shows to the world you access as that of your raspberry pi. I do this all the time, including right now. It also helps to watch sports events.

I got to see this in-person at Sundance, and in the context of a film festival it was a pretty cool experience. I attended the press/industry screening and it was fun to talk about the differences between the version I saw with folks who saw the other three versions that screened there. As someone who both programs software for a living and also works with/on film festivals, I expected this to be just a gimmick but I have to say it worked pretty well. However most of the reason it worked was in the context of telling Eno's story in particular because of how he works - the way the film was exhibited became part of the story itself. Not sure how well that will translate to other stories and films.

I went into it not knowing much about Eno at all (surprisingly in hindsight) but was quite inspired by him and loved the film. At least that version of it. I do love that this model adds a good bit of uncertainty to movie reviews, because there inevitably will be better versions and worse versions.

Thanks.

You might have missed that Musk made the same claim about 2016, with the 1-camera sensor system. The 2017 claim was with the newer 8-camera system, and the claim was made before Tesla even had software for the new sensors, and the Tesla then lacked adaptive cruise control, adaptive high beam, self parking, summon, and other things that the prior model did have. I'm embarrassed that I actually believed these claims.

I am careful in all such interviews to say that Facebook is fine for anyone who likes it, for whom the plusses outweigh any minuses. I state that it's just wrong for me, myself, or others like myself. How can I not be "right" about that?

At least Tesla respects our right to die in our sleep.

In California, businesses (like restaurants) can refuse to accept money from anyone for any reason. They are not required to do business just because you have dollars or legal tender. If they don't like the fact that you are trying to pay in pennies, they don't have to accept it. Therefore, some business could legally refuse dollars but accept bitcoin if they wanted to.

It's not zero/one. The greatest electricity demand is on hot days, during the daytime. You can equate solar energy with air conditioners.

As to ancestors, at least a branch of the gene pool has been cut off. Hopefully, there are no [surviving] offspring.

We should see fewer laptops being forgotten at TSA security checkpoints if this happens.

You meant to say 'great' cars with 'some' quality problems. Autocorrect can be a bitch...
