Pipelining, mostly.

Because you’d be denying cast and crew of their royalties? If people pirated on a mass scale, the losses would add up. Whatever you may think about streaming platforms, don’t punish the people just trying to make a living.

It’s both greed and laziness.

Why innovate when you can be a perpetual rentier?

That will probably happen eventually, but right now RISC-V only has the hp for embedded or peripheral uses. It will continue to nip at ARM’s heels for the next 5-10 years.

Exactly. The best writers all have one thing in common: they’re voracious readers.

Maybe Copilot will get wrapped into a Sky.NET meta-platform.

ACA is largely based on Heritage Foundation policy papers. Project 2010, if you will.

Energy is never lost, however, it’s transduced into less and less useful forms due to entropy.

There’s nothing wrong with frugality as an end-goal as long as it’s not coerced.

True. However, substitution of one good for another, or bringing online another source, won’t be instantaneous and thus otherwise needless human suffering will occur. The raw numbers don’t capture that.

I actually write more quickly in block print than I do cursive. My left-handedness and the various accommodations I’ve adopted might have something to do with it.

Tiredness caused my poor explanation and you’re absolutely correct. I didn’t explain fully. I guess I have a 2/3 solution.

With conflicting evidence that vitamin C may promote tumour growth, how much study has been done as to whether this might exacerbate skin cancer?

I think you’re right about Edge being the real play here. MS wants to increase Edge adoption and dig at Google. Passkeys are a pretext.
