So ... why work or have a career then? If we're damned if we do (UBI=higher inflation=no advantage in costs) and don't (work hard to increase income=no advantage in costs) then it seems UBI will clear the field for those who like to work because they enjoy it.

Is the problem that money is becoming worthless and relationships are what matter? I'm not wealthy, and never have been, but I suspect relationships and not wealth-as-in-dollars matters after $500 million net worth or so.

Some games had an additional 128 or 256 bytes of RAM bult in. Mountain King being one of those I think.

In places that consist of many people with subsidized incomes, like elderly housing complexes, why aren't local grocery stores and gas stations higher than elsewhere?

Also, aside from that question, prices will only rise if there's no competition. In a working market, if more people can afford a higher rent more apartments will be built.

That's fine. If it is understood that you might be permanently banned because someone you invite starts doing bad stuff, maybe you'll be careful about who you invite.

Rambus RAM (RDRAM) required unused slots to be populated with Continuity something something Memory Modules (CRIMMs). Basically just a blank DIMM.

I'm assuming there's tracking on the invites. So a recursive kick on X and all who X invited would still do the trick. If an IP address appears more than 5 times in an invite tree, ban the /24 or ASN if not from a friendly country for 10 minutes or other reasonable timeframe.

Blog admin sees who invited the bots and recursively kicks that account and any invited by it.

well how do you say Newfoundland? Soon it will be said "Noovlan"

The one abstraction you would have to keep in mind with assembler (writing more than reading tho) is the cache hierarchy. The days of equal cost to read/write any memory location are ancient. Even in the old 8 bit days some memory was faster to access than others (e.g. 6502 zero page).

The flags are another abstraction that might not mean what it says. The 6502 N flag and BPL/BMI instructions really just test bit 7 and aren't concerned with whether the value is really negative/positive.

Or via phone calls.

For DVDs: Walmart still sells a USB reader/burner for $30. Also I'd bet something will be able to read recordable disks in the future even without drives. Maybe a super super high resolution (compared to now) picture can simply be used to get the data from it visually in 30-40 years.

I feel like Oracle and the involved parties of the sale are expecting to make money from the transaction over time.

Meta and Google time-spent growth is probably people watching Reels and YouTube. They're both becoming Tiktok and most of the accounts on Tiktok when I was on it for a while did not look like people's real name. So with regard to Meta/Google "growth" idk if there's anything too social about that.

Less users = less money the owners are making.

What if people are moving to "No App"? Social media is becoming uncool, especially with all the government involvement lately. I wouldn't bet a small sum that many of those quitting Tiktok are done with social media.

Pay up. You made a post after this. :)

Personal data might include location or GPS data, your name and billing address, and if you have to provide your ISP with a copy of your photo ID to prove you are 18 in order to get unfiltered access in the future, it probably will include that.

Old IBM's term for RAM was "storage."

You are correct about the graphics, but SF2 also absolutely nailed the gameplay. The graphics are just the beginning of the attention to detail in this game.

I keep Discord running in a Firefox tab. It typically only goes down when I have to restart the browser and I often have it up for weeks.

"Monopoly" means one seller, so you can't say multiple X makes a monopoly and make sense. You probably mean collusion.

If demand exceeds supply, either prices rise or supply falls, causing shortages. Directly controlling sellers (prices) or buyers (rationing) results in black markets unless enforcement has enough strength and integrity. The required strength and integrity seems to scale exponentially with the value of the good, so it's typically effectively impossible to prevent out-of-spec behavior for anything not cheap.

If everyone wants chips, semiconductor manufacturing supply should be increased. Governments should subsidize domestic semiconductor industries and the conditions for them to thrive (education, etc.) to meet both goals of domestic and economic security, and do it in a way that works.

The alternative is decreasing demand. Governments could hold bounty and incentive programs for building electronics that last a long time or are repairable or recyclable, but it's entirely possible the market will eventually do that.

One could argue modern social media like Tiktok and Snapchat is an evolution of reality TV, in app/smartphone form.

Answer: Tiktok, and the fall of "pop" in pop music.

Both 1 and 2 will simply incentivize people to make fake accounts or pay existing account holders to post for them.

if the pipe is big and low-latency enough for ads it'll work for anything else.

PCIe SATA adapters will likely be around forever. They may be problematic to boot from, but A) I'm sure your OS isn't on a spinning disk, and B) by the time PCIe SATA adapters disappear the entire concept of a PC will be an outlawed or legacy retro thing anyway.

I hope this happens, because with the security track record of these companies it would mean free Internet. These would quickly become web torrent video portals.

there hasn't been any open wifi networks around me in over a decade and i live in a decently populated area. that's not a thing any more unless you're at a place of business and even then it's rare.

HAHI, which stands for HAHI Ain't an HDMI Implementation.

If police or judicial entites can obtain your social media posts as evidence against you, and things you do might be illegal but socially accepted (e.g. smoking weed), why would you post anything-at the very least why anything public?

I do believe Facebook stopped being cool (if it ever really was) when everyone's parents seemed to be on it. Now older people are the ones who can't seem to live without it.
