Looking through a shelf of well organized CDs, game disks or movie disks will always be far more satisfying than typing letters into a search box and wading through large numbers of titles on a TV or monitor.

It should easily be able to understand a user's personality well enough to know how to manipulate them. E.g., 4 suggestions that user avoids directing user to the remaining 5th location that wasn't suggested.

Any American worth that much is safer in a discretely armored car than on foot.

At 7 TSP BTC is far more fungible than Gold.

The good that BTC will do in the long run is worth the investment. Civilization getting out from under fiat currencies - once and for all - is a massive step in the right direction.

In the long run BTC as a universal digital global currency will be more efficient than the fiat currencies it replaces.

In the near future every nation state will be vying for the largest stake of the BTC mining pie and the BTC race will be bigger than the Space Race and the Nuclear Arms Race combined and adjusted for inflation.

Like it or not in the end it will just be BTC. China will stop exporting Bitcoin mining tech. Nation States will dump money into proprietary BTC mining tech and keep it to themselves just like military tech. The US needs to see this reality and focus on domestic BTC mining tech like the future depends on it.

An interesting point is that any nation state or corporation can focus resources on either AI or BTC, but not both at the same time. BTC is a sure bet in the long run while AI is potentially capable of delivering a faster ROI with no hard guarantees. As BTC FOMO hits every country on Earth it's likely that AI will take a 100+ year backseat to massive state sponsored BTC operations. It's not hard to imagine a situation where governments restrict AI HW manufacture and limit electricity for AI as a means of supporting the national BTC effort.

It's post-peak tech. Channel flipping is the ideal format for channels and other content that can take up a whole screen.

That PEGI 18 rating likely boosted Balatro's sales.

It'd be interesting to see how big a CPU chip scaled up to be big enough for a human to fit in (were it hollowed out) would end up being.

The first country to outlaw social media for everyone under 18 will own the future.

It'd be more interesting if Google let us run Android apps in Chrome browsers on Windows and across linux distros.

Unlike Apple Nokia built their devices to resist breaking and be 100% serviceable down to the smallest parts. Apple uses metal because it's significantly heavier than plastic and makes phones heavy enough to shatter glass screens and damage their internals when dropped.

Any iPhone could replace its metal housing with an equally strong polymer and become exponentially more difficult to break.

Have California cell networks gotten to the point where they'll be able to handle the mass calling that follows disasters? Curious how people will contact emergency services and friends/family in the critical time following an earthquake/fire/etc.

It seems like the obvious solution is to offer Americans what they want in terms of a burger named after a bigger denominator.

1/5th pound burger is going to sell better than the quarter pounder while using less beef.

My dream has always been a toggle that switches between traditional loud sportscar exhaust and something on par with a stock BMW exhaust. Last time I checked physical switches still had a tendency to leak. The battery method could be the answer to an on-demand lower profile option.

Be the one person who doesn't look like a hunchback endlessly poking at a small tablet - by standing upright and endlessly poking into the space around you.
