Socialism or fascism, take your pick, but California under Jerry Brown has clearly repudiated capitalism.
I wonder where Silicon Valley is going to relocate?
Wanna know the struggles of other jobs over streaming? If I'm absent from my real job for 48 hours (unexcused), I lose that job and get to collect unemployment. I'll probably have a hard time getting another job.
If I'm absent from a streaming job for 48 hours, I lose some followers and my income drops a little bit until I return to the "grind" of playing video games. The horror, the horror! (google it, children, if you can spare the time).
They're unhappy because they've chosen an extremely shallow and meaningless avocation and have mistaken it for meaningful achievement and lasting contribution to the greater good. They're unhappy because they're beginning to realize the complete futility and meaningless of what they're doing with their lives. They're the modern, digital equivalent of 30-year-old hockey scores. No one will care or even know about them two or three years from now and they'll be left pondering how and why they've wasted some of the prime years of their lives.
I hope they're saving whatever money they're making so they at least have a nest egg to finance something meaningful that will make them happy.
Every science fiction fan knows that sci-fi authors have been exploring the boundaries of the definition of life for decades. Other life, when we find it, may be stranger than fiction, but we have a large base of "knowledge" to turn to to guide us when we encounter something that may be alive, as we understand life.
Perhaps I've gone crazy but I'd swear I saw an article online a few days ago, right after the announcement that a third party had assisted the FBI, to the effect that the way it was done was by imaging the phone and using virtual copies of the image to run the passcode combinations until they hit the right one, which was then used on the actual, physical phone.
Am I crazy?

This is amazing and wonderful news. I've been reading science fiction for more than 45 years, it's good to see the fiction becoming science!
