Anyone who tells you otherwise is full of crap and/or has a hidden agenda. Always remember that you are now living in a world where you have to rent EVERYTHING. Everything has some sort of monthly fee to it. But people cheerfully cough it up because, "Hey, it's only $19.95 a month! I'm really sticking it to 'the man'" No, you're not. You're now sampling the addictive drugs and you'll be hooked very quickly.
Jeez, you don't TELL people that's what you're doing until you've finished doing it and asked them if they noticed anything. Now every luddite in the area will bitch.
Note how quickly CFL bulbs were eclipsed by LEDs. Perhaps those who spent all that money developing them and the production facilities to make them in quantity were behind the incandescent bulb bans. They knew that LEDs were fast approaching and desperately needed to recoup their investment before it became worthless. So too will solar and wind power once fusion comes online which would explain the insane push to legislate their adoption. Vast amounts of cheap energy are essential for advanced civilization. Solar and wind aren't going cut it for first-world nations.
Listening to a radio show for homeowners this morning, they were spouting off about climbing home prices and rising interest rates and isn't that terrible that it's depressing the market. What they were going for is why developers and builders aren't building what they consider affordable housing. Why would they? They have a piece of land of a fixed size and the local government dictates how many homes can be built on it. The builder isn't going to build 100 low-end homes when they can build 100 more expensive homes and make more money. Sure, it might take longer but the land isn't going to spoil or become less valuable. On top of that, the mid-range home buyer is going to be more financially stable than the low-end buyer so there's less risk to the lender. And to the local government levying property tax, more expensive homes means more tax revenue.
It's common practice for acolytes with their own agenda to claim that the celebrant said something. How do we know for sure that Hawking wrote/thought this?
English is the common denominator language in a whole lot of applications. It won't be replaced with Spanish or Mandarin regardless of population count. And new languages like e-prime or esperanto aren't going to do it either.
Oh, you mean the one that's such a piece of sh*t that you turn it off to keep it from doing stupid stuff? Oh, wait, I'm thinking of that crappy, worthless touchpad.
Do the math and you'd need a whole lot of cars running around all the time at highway speeds. So how many cars are really operating? Something doesn't sound quite right here.
Killjoy cities, towns, counties, and especially HOAs are borking sUAS whenever they can. What makes anyone think that a flying car is going to be unobtrusive to et past those folks?
Oh, look! Another friggin' white paper on space vehicles! Give me a friggin' break. The old-guard aerospace companies will never build a damn thing. Meanwhile, Elon Musk and friends have been kicking their technological ass.
Having created numerous products during my career, I can tell you that I always got tech support questions about something that's clearly explained in the documentation. Doesn't matter how those docs are distributed either. People will STILL not get it even if you came to their house and set it up for them. A printed manual costs money to produce and then you're stuck with it if you make a change to the product. Video is better than text and photos because you can show people how to do things but they still have to be able to grok it. There will always be people who are really painfully stupid and shouldn't be using your products. That can't be fixed because that would involve those people realizing that they are stupid which is an infinite loop.

Seems like every post that makes a good point has a 1 score. Somebody doesn't like nuclear power here but they'd better get used to the idea.
We must try these... shades...
But will it have a lächerlich mode?
So, all those snowflakes flipping out over the last two elections are going to bleb all over the place?

Bill doesn't know how to use them. I can see how that would be confusing.

Won't have to fly to them or fly them to you.
The godawful nature of trying to do everything via HTML is all your damn fault, sir.
This is why we shouldn't be trying to teach everyone to code. We'll wind up with the homeopathy of programming.

Given the extremely short range of 5G, deployment to rural areas isn't likely going to happen much so this sort of foolishness won't be a problem.

Yep, I said it. Come at me, bro.

We have canine teeth and binocular vision. Ergo predators. QED.
