Good points. I used to consider GWB to be the worst president ever, mostly because of the unjustified invasion of Iraq. But that was before Trump. Also, to be fair, a presidency can really only be judged in retrospect a while after it is completed, so you are correct, the Trump presidency could still go either way. Today, it looks like he might have actually improved the trade relationships with Mexico and Canada, but again, the effectiveness can only be judged years later.
Nobody is pure evil. Not everything Trump does is wrong or harmful, in the same way that even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then. But I do honestly believe he will go down in the history books as the worst US president of all time, and that record will likely outlive the country.
To play games in the browser? Yeah, that's a stretch. Phone browsers aren't good for much, anything complicated you'd be better off with a dedicated app.
Remember back when Windows used to let you set your windows background to black, while all the apps still insisted on using black text? Yeah, black-on-black was real readable!
No, in about 100 years they'll be mining all of what we now call "garbage dumps". Lot of good raw materials in there, once you know how to deal with the toxins.
I've thought of that, crowded cities should have separate levels for vehicle and pedestrian traffic so they don't have to stop for each other. Problem is, all the main entrances to buildings are now on the level that would become the vehicle-only level.
A balloon-based mesh network would require massive redundancy to be reliable... and wouldn't the nodes migrate over time? If the prevailing winds blow one direction, do you keep bringing them down on the coast and re-releasing them upwind? How much control over the altitude of the balloons do they have to try to maintain position?
I think much of the negative reaction to the TPP was due to them trying to keep the actual text of the treaty secret. Openness and transparency would have helped. None of us really had a chance to analyze the pros and cons of the agreement, and uncertainty triggers fears. I don't know enough about it personally to say whether it would have been good or bad, but my understanding is it would have given us some tools to use against IP theft.

So what's the marginal cost of googling and downloading a manual?
About the same amount of traffic as PornHub, then?
The internet is free. I find it easier to google the manual online than find the one that came in the box with the product. Next question...

I hear Donald Trump is also into streaming...
A computer that's into sadomasochism!

To clarify, that would be a bleached blonde porn star with a magnifying glass!
I sure hope Trump manages to sell Mar-a-lago before it's completely underwater!

How many 18-year olds voted for Trump?
Who voted for president Toad Dick, boomers or millenials?
And Microsoft wonders why so many companies are still using Windows 7! Here's a hint: I don't need Candy Crush on my work computer!

When you go to pick up a date, you have to _literally_ pick her up!
And the stock market is tanking today on expectations of the new tariffs... Thanks, Trump!
No tariffs on any technology that can be used to spy on Americans. Hmm.... Nope, that's not suspicious at all!

Just rename the robots "CuddleBots", and proceed with development full steam ahead? I'm not clear on how one would enforce a rule like this.
Leave the content up, and trace the IP address of everybody that views it?
If the people producing movies don't get paid, they don't make movies. Pretty simple.
You thought you were BUYING that movie? Nope, you were only renting it!
