You're so completely full of shit I don't even know where to begin.

This. The solution is so simple that even a right-wing nut can understand it. That's why they're panicked.

I hope, for your sake, that this was a joke.

Brilliant. Some days I wish I didn't have a conscience.

Maintaining privacy here is trivial, though the fact that link preview needs to visit the link at least once could cause other problems. Didn't we go through that already in the early days of the web?

And replace it with what? A browser that *actually* spies on you? Just turn off the AI bullshit and send an angry email to Mozilla. It'll make you feel better.

Wait until you see the 30+ minute videos with 3 minutes of useful content ... that should have just been webpages.

Unfortunately, AI summaries are nonsense and won't actually help.

You're absolutely right. I'm apparently having a difficult time internalizing the fact that 1995 was 30 years ago!

If software development keeps going the way it has been for the last 20 years, you'll need every one of those 18 quintillion bytes just to run Solitare.

It's a helluva lot better than the illiterate zombies you get out of private religious schools.

Funding matters, but it's not the only thing that matters. Wealth matters more. (The confusion here comes from the fact that communities with more wealth have better funded schools.) You get better results from a public education in wealthier communities than you do impoverished communities for too many reasons to list, most of which are obvious to anyone who isn't a right-wing crackpot. For example, did you that hunger isn't motivating, it just makes it harder to focus and pay attention? Everyone else did. They also don't smile happily when they hear about children, like most of the ghouls in the GOP.

You want better schools across the board, even in impoverished areas, rural or urban, feed the kids without judgement or condition. That's step one and it's an investment that pays significant dividends.

Bullshit.

Yes. Have you?

Not even close

It's a transistor.

The utility of the first transistor was apparent immediately and was heralded in the press as a major breakthrough. If anyone thought it was useless, it was only because they didn't know what it was or what it could do.

We have a lot of space that can be used for solar farms where environmental issues are of little consequence or even beneficial. Rooftops are the obvious example. Parking lots are an often overlooked space where panels can provide useful shade, shelter, and, with some planning, even reduce harmful run-off.

I can't speak to that specific application, but there are directional antenna designs that do not require a solid surface. Our resident radio amateurs will be familiar with the Yagi-Uda design, for example, where the reflector and director beams are parasitic elements not directly connected to the driven element but instead receive power indirectly via mutual coupling.

Nah.

Iâ(TM)m 51. Iâ(TM)ve had health insurance continuously for 35 years and have used it exactly ZERO TIMES.

I am self pay. For everything but true life threatening emergencies, which Iâ(TM)ve had zero.

Even the ER is cheaper when negotiated self pay.

My urologist is stunned that I pay $85 for his visits. Self pay. Including labs. My colleague goes to the same urologist and his insurance pays $550 for the same visit and naturally it comes out of his deductible lol.

Insurance is a scam. All insurance is legal gambling and gamblers never win.
