I quit reading after the first paragraph when I saw this pattern:
"Not X, not y, not z, A!"
The overly emotional paragraph headlines were also off putting.

Schmidt could have paid off every student loan for every graduate in full and not even noticed it as a rounding error in his net worth.
Would have done so much more for humanity that this vapid speech.
High taxes on the wealthy, high social spending for all, lower business regulations, lower wealth inequality, and high labor market flexibility.

School is naturally good at forcing this, since we are filtering in and out of different class groups.
If you want to recreate this in post-school life, you have to join high membership interest groups, like casual sports groups (kickball, tennis, golf).
Game nights at the local pub work well too, since there will be a rotating cast of characters to make friends with.
Basically, you have to seek novelty and regular re-occurance to make "natural" new friends.

I wouldn't call that simple or well contained...
Most OS or web browsers don't run on cars or tvs.
I would 100% expect a commencement speaker to be hyping me up for what comes next.
I want to know how many real humans read my post, commented, shared etc.
Clankers can keep their own counts.
He was the commander of the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. This would have given him direct oversight of all of the Air Force's most sensitive technology for decades. His intelligence value to a hostile adversary, even retired, is incalculable.
He was an avid hiker and biker in his neighborhood trails, so it's very unlikely that he just got lost.
Left behind were his prescription glasses, along with all his personal electronics (phone and watch).
It's shocking and alarming that there wasn't a full blown military search and rescue operation mounted within hours of his wife calling him in as missing.
How far could a 68 year old man travel on foot within 8 hours?
He was reported missing within three hours of his last contact with his wife.
New Mexico Search and Rescue wasn't dispatched until Sunday, two days later.
Again, why wasn't the DoD tasked to find him at all costs on the same day he went missing, given his knowledge of the Air Force's most sensitive technologies?
Google AI Edge Gallery now runs Gemma-4-E2B-it locally on an iPhone after a 2.5Gb download.
No network calls needed, claims Google.
Self-hosting is always a strong option for privacy seeking people, as it should be.
Would a judge be able to demand the attorney hand over written notes from his clients?
I doubt it.
It's become the "no u r" argument of the AI age... :/
Drug dealer getting the kids hooked early is priority #1.
Give just enough "parental control" to lure parents in.
Make it just annoying enough that the parents eventually give up and the kid is the one pushing the drug the entire time.
There are smaller, cheaper trucks, suvs, sedans, etc. $100k trucks make a lot of money, so Ford keeps building them.
If this is what they thought was possible, why write the 4th Amendment?
Unreasonable search and overbearing government was one of the key issues of the American Revolution.
2. Allow the crowd to yell at them.
3. Use the crowd agitation as an opportunity to escalate and go "hands on".
4. Cause a ruckus.
5. Use the ruckus as justification for closing the polling location for the rest of the day.
6. Count the Republican votes, discard the Dem votes.
7. Declare landslide victory.
8. Ignore calls for extended voting or recounts.
Population density and the gigantic geographic distance make these kinds of events feel "remote" even if they are happening in our same state.
It's a 17 hour drive from Atlanta, Georgia to Minneapolis for example.
On top of that, a lot of Americans are just barely surviving financially, so they are in full bunker mode just making rent.
It's a scary time to rebel.
