Did you mean duckduckgo? Lmao!

You do the crime, you do the time! It's called punishment because it's a damn crime. A person who made the decision to use shoddy materials to build a building knowing it will collapse, and that building does collapse and killed thousands. So that person should be "rehabilitated"? Give me a break. A little common sense goes a long way.

I'm sad. I love Dpreview as a photography enthusiast and it has an amazing community. I wish they would change their mind.

This sounds like survivorship bias.

Rich kids have a golden parachute for a smoother fall than all the other kids. In addition, most rich kids belong to wealthy, well-connected parents who have already built a network for them. Middle-class to poor kids do not have these resources. However, that doesn't mean bootstrapping will not work. But it is harder for them than rich kids to build a multi-million business.

Sad news for Mint customers. Big carrier monopoly continues.

I use the Brother hd2270dw at home. It has WiFi printing but doesn't require the internet to print anything. You can also plug into it the old fashioned way and the toner is affordable.

What's the purpose of these warnings? Do they even save lives or just make these bureaucrats feel productive? If they really want to save lives, they need to find the cure to cancer. Do more work there.

Will that mean the M1 MBP 14/16 will get a price decrease? That would be great.

They have an advantage in a toxic work environment. They basically become the head honcho of toxicity.

When Wilbur and Orville discovered flight, we all thought flying was impossible. Then, when they proved it was possible, everyone ignored it for a while, thinking that freight airplanes or passenger planes could never happen. And then it changed the world. This discovery is HUGE because we can now have the potential to create as much energy as we need. But it will take time for it to change the world. But it is an enormous discovery that most are just beginning to understand.

You can use either Kindle or Kobo, they both let you load the files manually. I actually use the iPad Mini 6 for reading technical books. Its screen, color, and ability to zoom is perfect. I use Apple Books to load the epub or PDF.

Yvon Chouinard and Patagonia's Business Philosophy.

Most American malls are so badly designed -- they aren't places where people are hanging out but just shopping and leaving. Well, most folks shop online nowadays, what's the point of coming to the mall? There's no place to sit or talk or create a community.

As someone who is starting something like this, how did you get your guests? Did you cold email some of them? And did you give them anything for participating? Thanks!

They probably acquire the IP and shut it down before they can compete with them.

I like it so far. I also just started the Picard series season 1 and I am enjoying that as well! That one reminds me somewhat of Firefly. I am loving these ST series.

Learn a foreign language such as Spanish or Mandarin, or whichever language you fancy and stick with it until you're conversational. Learning a new language opens you up to other ideas and cultures. Being bilingual should be a prerequisite -- our culture would be more accepting of other cultures instead of becoming a xenophobe.

But what happens if the virus mutates? Wasn't this the case with the Spanish flu? The first wave, then the mutation from which causes the second wave. Could that potentially occur?

Well it complements this article: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2019/11/mysteriou...

I have an old wired Bose QC25 which still works great.

Although I have taken it to many flights, I recently bought the Bose QC20 wired because headphones are harder to sleep in especially if you sleep on the side. I would recommend the old Bose QC20. I wish Bose would update this and still keep it wired, it's great.

UGHHHHHHHHH... will by FitBit data be shared and sold? Wonderful! What will happen :(?

I feel like this pricing is too expensive. At this $249 price point, this is now competing against a used Bose QC 35 II and Sony WH-1000XM3. I guess if you really want an earbud.

Still in tech, but helping more people with products and content I create.

Prediction-wise: - I agree with AI. I hope it will be advanced enough that we can have conversations with it, that it can anticipate things to help us with. - I think banking as we know it will be different -- and the U.S. dollar is no longer the world currency. - Hopefully, there is a cryptocurrency that is backed up with gold and silver. - I really want Universal Basic Income to happen in the U.S. and also Medicare/healthcare coverage for all Americans.

Why is this better than just using some service like Rememberthemilk which I have been using?

I feel the music companies would have been making more if people can use samples of songs in the first place -- as most would promote the music and people would buy or listen to them if they really love them. But since they take down everything, no would dare to use music due to fear. It's ridiculous.

(and loans.. hopefully not student loans)

Initially, I thought it said "Chicken for Sale" and I was alright with that.

Not sure why Apple didn't get hit with an anti-trust lawsuit yet. Spotify is correct.

The Venus Project: Future By Design - By Jacque Fresco. Introduced Jacque Fresco's philosophy, R.I.P., and also the empathy we must have in designing something that is good for the planet and for the future. I highly recommend.

Mike Maloney's "Hidden Secrets of Money" is a beautiful set of YouTube documentaries financed by Mike himself. It educated me and millions out there how money really worked in the real world, and how the Federal Reserve and banking manipulates currency. https://goldsilver.com/hidden-secrets/

The Corporation - When Corporations started to get the same rights and treatment as regular citizens, we have created a monster that have changed our world for the worst.

The Cove and Blackfish. Really sad and made me stay away from Sea World and circuses and places that held animals in captivity for entertainment.

The Fog of War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara - The 11 lessons are worth learning: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fog_of_War

Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room/Inside Job - When corporations are run by sociopaths.

An Inconvenient Truth - Global warming.

Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel/Bill Cunningham New York - Learned so much about creativity and just being true to your unique self regardless of what the world thinks.

Zeitgeist - Esoteric knowledge.

I would emphasize that the workforce is going to change in the next couple of years -- due to automation, AI, robotics, etc.. And a STEM education is vital as most jobs we know of now may no longer be here.
