Fashion replaced tech twenty years ago. I don't know if this is the cause of or result of the stagnation in anything new and exciting. Currently politics is replacing fashion. I don't know where the endgame starts, just glad I got out.
The suicide rate among girls between the ages of 15 and 19 reached an all-time high in 2015 for the 40-year period beginning in 1975, new government data show.
People's Voice Awards in 2000 in both of the categories for which it was nominated (Best Community Site and Best News Site).[86] It was also voted as one of Newsweek's favorite technology Web sites and rated in Yahoo!'s Top 100 Web sites as the "Best Geek Hangout" (2001)
But that was nearly twenty years ago, so the new strategy is working.
Since nearly it's start in the 90's (before user IDs) (not worth my time to log in anymore), I would say it's a combination of being actively killed in the OS/2 / IBM sence and an end of interesting and relevant and truly innovative technologies being developed. IOT and 3D printers meet neither of these criteria. Neither do Musk's ventures.
I'm an engineer with a few decades of work experience.
I can and have throw together systems in a few hours or days and a hundred dollars of ebay and amazon purchases that twenty years ago took a dozen people, three million dollars, a year and the resources of one of the largest companies in the world.
I made it all the way through multiple science degrees and the gay/abortion/ozone hole (global warming of back in the day)/evolution/whatever controversies never appeared once in 7 years. It was so much better being able to concentrate on the science and math.
I remember writing my first AI program in the third grade.

If they can't develop anything because they are not allowed to fail, what is the purpose of keeping them around? NASA does do good stuff particularly with aeronautics and research, but manned space is not part of this.
Many supporters of the space program have placed great stock in the benefits of technological spinoff from the space effort for the American economy. Proponents estimates of the rate of return from NASA spending range from $7 in return from every $1 of NASA spending (Lyttle, David, "Is Space Our Destiny?" Astronomy, February 1991, page 6) to $23 in return for every $1 of NASA spending (Chase Econometric Associates, "The Economic Impact of NASA R&D Spending," prepared under NASA contract NASW-2741, April 1976).
.....
But the fact that the total NASA investment of $55 billion yielded a paltry $5 billion in true spinoffs, creating entirely new products or industries, suggests a very poor return of ten cents on the dollar. Again, this should not be surprising, given the highly specialized nature of much of the engineering and development work conducted by NASA.
So rather than being an unusually good investment paying 7:1 or 22:1 for each dollar invested, NASA has an astoundingly bad 1:10 payoff -- about a factor of 100 worse than the commercial economy as a whole.
v3 engineering, not marketing. windows marketing has skipped about 6 numbers. Ten years ago,/. had an excellent analysis post on this.
v1 is the designer's dream, but released too early because computers, v2 is the designers full vision, v3 is the designer's vision debugged with major optimization. The post covered a number of systems with examples, but concentrated on Dave Cutler
Then marketing takes over to justify their existence.

If you knew physics, you would not even consider super capacitors . Sadly, most retards don't (know physics).
I remember my dad buying an alkaline battery recharger from radio shack in about 1975.

Thorium and fusion will still be hurdled by opposition set up by the anti-nuclear crowd.

green marker, it greatly improves the picture quality.
But taxi cab companies are?
I don't really have that much of a problem buying a new phone every couple of years
There are a lot of people who are not as rich as you.

I've watched over the years...
As have I. It's hopeless. My plan now is pollute the term so much it becomes meaningless. Anything that involves a computer is AI.

Why does no one ever bring this up? Probably because everyone here has an IQ of over 100 and no one wants to let the riff raff onto their turf.
Why don't the space programs of other countries have ROI to their respective countries? Why did we never see spinoffs from the soviet space program?

I switched to ddg over a year ago. After a couple of days of getting used to it think it works as well as google.
Everything peaks around v3 and goes downhill from there.
