But you can't be on the cutting-edge of everything, and there are opportunity costs.

To be fair it wouldn't really be doing its job if it didn't come with any asterisks

The interface equivalent of ten sad fireworks and a pack of sparklers in a rainy back garden probably wouldn't have the same addictive effects, though.

That could only obsolete fiction-writing if you take a very narrow, essentially commercial view of what fiction-writing is for. I could build a machine that phones my mother and te…

Do you think kids who hang out at the mall really love the management of the mall?

That doesn't explain why the Cybertruck bothers people more than other expensive things. And the rich have always been ready to express horror at the tastes of the poor (and even m…
