If this is not already a Black Mirror episode, it should be.

What would impress me is if each of the devices knew spatially it’s own position and that of all of the other devices. A local 3-D model of local radio emitters.

How much does the ad-free version cost?

That would require an educated populace and a functioning government, which we don’t have.

I want to feel the way I felt when I was about 13 years old and got my first modem, calling my first BBS with my Commodore 64 in the dead of night and seeing those colorful characters slowly scroll across the screen…

There's precedent in the US for going to jail for doing this

Because of the reputation. I've bought two cars without driving them first.

Because no one is incentivized to prevent and clean up spills

They're trying to rip out rail lines right now in Santa Cruz

I'm looking forward to the first "reality tv" shows produced on other planets (including the moon).

You can probably fund a moon colony just on tourism and entertainment.

I don't know why they can't just be happy with all those blessings

What "game" is lost? Nobody is threatening to invade them. Why don't they create better future for their people the peaceful way - pursue math, education, science, even encourage tourism.

Wikipedia?

Not to mention it's all deployed with Terraform now. You can stand up and configure thousands of servers without the command line

It’s not just the 3 is it?

It's the will of the voters.

Are the Tongans okay?

Barbapapa’s Ark is remarkably similar to Wall-E

Their discipline was insufficient

I'm willing to wear a mask indoors, whenever I am around people outside my household, forever. I'm also willing to get booster vaccines every 6 months forever. I'm pretty ok with giving up indoor dining in restaurants as well.

With proper discipline, it is straightforward to avoid it.

I think you need to set firm boundaries and stick to them.
