So ... why work or have a career then? If we're damned if we do (UBI=higher inflation=no advantage in costs) and don't (work hard to increase income=no advantage in costs) then it seems UBI will clear the field for those who like to work because they enjoy it.
Is the problem that money is becoming worthless and relationships are what matter? I'm not wealthy, and never have been, but I suspect relationships and not wealth-as-in-dollars matters after $500 million net worth or so.
In places that consist of many people with subsidized incomes, like elderly housing complexes, why aren't local grocery stores and gas stations higher than elsewhere?
Also, aside from that question, prices will only rise if there's no competition. In a working market, if more people can afford a higher rent more apartments will be built.
That's fine. If it is understood that you might be permanently banned because someone you invite starts doing bad stuff, maybe you'll be careful about who you invite.
I'm assuming there's tracking on the invites. So a recursive kick on X and all who X invited would still do the trick. If an IP address appears more than 5 times in an invite tree, ban the /24 or ASN if not from a friendly country for 10 minutes or other reasonable timeframe.
The one abstraction you would have to keep in mind with assembler (writing more than reading tho) is the cache hierarchy. The days of equal cost to read/write any memory location are ancient. Even in the old 8 bit days some memory was faster to access than others (e.g. 6502 zero page).
The flags are another abstraction that might not mean what it says. The 6502 N flag and BPL/BMI instructions really just test bit 7 and aren't concerned with whether the value is really negative/positive.
For DVDs: Walmart still sells a USB reader/burner for $30. Also I'd bet something will be able to read recordable disks in the future even without drives. Maybe a super super high resolution (compared to now) picture can simply be used to get the data from it visually in 30-40 years.
Meta and Google time-spent growth is probably people watching Reels and YouTube. They're both becoming Tiktok and most of the accounts on Tiktok when I was on it for a while did not look like people's real name. So with regard to Meta/Google "growth" idk if there's anything too social about that.
What if people are moving to "No App"? Social media is becoming uncool, especially with all the government involvement lately. I wouldn't bet a small sum that many of those quitting Tiktok are done with social media.
Personal data might include location or GPS data, your name
and billing address, and if you have to provide your ISP with a copy of your photo ID to prove you are 18 in order to get unfiltered access in the future, it probably will include that.
You are correct about the graphics, but SF2 also absolutely nailed the gameplay. The graphics are just the beginning of the attention to detail in this game.
