Government, particularly a bloated, kleptocratic, partisan, overreaching, and authoritarian government, is not who/what you want to hand carte blanche regulatory control of the internet to.
Hicks has also started looking at the bias baked into algorithms, specifically at when it first crossed from human to computer. The first example she turned up had "something to do with transgender people and the government's main pension computer."
Historian Marie Hicks doesn't know the difference between a business rule and an algorithm.
Unless, of course, the grocery store gets its deliveries by electric truck!
There's an electric truck that can carry oranges from California to Idaho, and return full of 'taters?
In any case, they still run on roads. If the tax take on dead dinosaur juice falls they (that's to say him - The Man) will introduce some form of mileage tax sure as eggs is eggs.
Or if it's located along a rail siding
Fair point, since 95% of them are and the other 5% have their own airport. Oh, wait...
Congress actually just reduced that tax massively because people realized that if you tax corporations too much, they'll drastically cut campaign contributions.
You also need to grow all your own food, since presumably the local supermarket (if you happen to have one within walking distance) will be paying some form of road tax, either directly or indirectly, and which it passes on to you.
Come on, cricket games don't last for hours, they last for days[1]. The players have at least one lunch break. When I was a kid they used to take a day off in the middle.
[1] Except the one-day variety, obviously, which traditionalists sniff at.
The tremendous growth of cryptocurrencies has created an exponential demand
That's not even wrong. Exponential describes the relationship between two variables, like bacterial population and time, where the rate of change is proportional to the value itself. It makes no sense to say a single variable is exponential.

Swearing in French is like wiping your ass with silk.
Don't worry. Just another 7 years to go.
I don't.
It's only censorship if it's teh gubmint doing it. If it's Gawd-fearin' good ol' boys it's fine.

Could the reason be that she's a historian?
Not being one Indian type chappie!
Ive. There's only one of him.
Fa'ster hor'se's.
You mean voyeurs?
Might want to tell that to the Dutch, because due to food shortages in WW2 they ate plenty of them.
They didn't get the chat-show host. He buggered off down South as soon as he got a bit of brass. Aye, proper lah-di-dah.
Yes, I can see that being difficult.
But he's going to buy a few more rigs. That way, he'll be able to make it up on volume.

What *would* we do without you, Captain Obvious?
I can say I'm the Queen of Sheba. That doesn't mean I've got tits and a crown.
FTFY.

LOL, it wasn't just me then.

If something's big there's a word for that.
There's always bedrock. It's just a matter of how far down.
I'm borrowing "swamp Germans", though. Nice one.
Hindi/Urdu, needfuldoing and 6 years' experience in something that hasn't been invented yet.
Same as everything else, really.
Do you think it might even learn how to use apostrophes?
