Just wire in "teh cloud!!1" to your local files.

What could go wrong?

Not unlike a combustion engine, cycles can do more damage than hours.

Beyond tired of the rape mentality from Microsoft and other evil mega corp's.

Remember when you used to own your "personal" computer?

Nuremberg defense.

I thought the HN crowd at least pretended to be somewhat better.

Why would you do something so immoral?

What's the point of it then?

Because fuck Microsoft.

Using it even just for games is giving them a signal they're doing something right.

Isn't his follow up "be extremely careful when talking to the police"? He gave a follow up lecture some years later.

If I pivot to law enforcement does my wife have to stop talking to me?

She's a permanent resident and has already been given the do not talk to the police speech and role play practice from me.

So glad we got them kicked out of Mountain View.

Wrong. See Carpenter v US.

Toaster you say?

Why would you use such a system?

I enjoyed the pixel grid

XP had cleartype no?

A little dodgy that the game boy is only available on desktop?

Pretty cool though.

It's not because they're selling ROMs, that only accounts for a small fraction of their back library.

It's because they're assholes.

Worry about it when you get a C&D.

Can you name five?

It's fine. Certainly far preferable to accident.

The concept — which isn’t entirely clear from that video, but was more fully explained on stage — is that in the future you will be surrounded by an ecosystem of devices, none of which stand alone, but are more like portals to interact with your agents, which live in the cloud.

The fuck I will.

There is no cloud, only other people's hard drives.

Crash.

Google crash not accident will give many resources.

there's a reason

Yes, the auto lobby.

Saying "accident" implies that the tens of thousands of road deaths every year are an unavoidable consequence of the convenience of driving.

That's just not true.

I fly RC planes. I've done a bit of RC FPV with monitors never tried goggles or quads though.

When vulnerable road users are killed in other countries there is strict liability. That is, the driver is assumed at fault unless proven otherwise.

In America it's the perfect crime.

"I'm so sorry officer I never saw them."

Case closed Lou.

Someone is always at fault.

Look into auto lobby and this "accident" term history.

Use the language of accountability.

For me a big part of the enjoyment comes from being in control of the bike.

Yes. Chasing perfection every time.

How smoothly can you roll out of this corner. How perfect a line can you take. How smoothly can you shift up or rev match and shift down.

I don't think I've ever been a passenger. My young wife enjoyed riding with me before our youngest came.

Great America gold pass holder for many years.

It's a thrill for sure. Mostly on the smaller coasters thee days because of the kids.

Crashes. Not accidents.

Please don't say accident when you really mean crash.

Promote language of responsibility and accountability.

At a minimum you're belted in surrounded by a cage.

More likely you're belted in your cage and surrounded by airbags.

Apples to orangutans.
