Yeah but that's not tech, the positive are just result from legal loop holes. I would say though that Taxi companies now have proper app because Uber forces them to catch up with the tech. Calling taxi in the pre-Uber era was literally hell.

More like you are not allowed to work. Loss of work experience, loss network, not even accounting for inflation.

Not sure how your family is using it. But I find that a laptop using as a desktop has a much longer lifespan than a laptop using as intended ( a traveling work station ). Things like moisture, accidental drops, keyboard issue is much more common.

I find it exhausting in a yes-man kind of way where it does whatever you told but just somehow wrong. I think your human case is the reverse.

Piano layout is suprisingly robust, just use a bigger size key like organists do.

This is one of the thing that smart watches should be doing, or even better, something like https://blog.singleton.io/posts/2022-10-17-otp-on-wrist/.

Ever since I first read this theory, I have always been wondering how credible is this. Where have you heard it from ?

Would be fun if someone try this on something from East Asian cuisine vs Fish and Chips. See how well it does in complex dishes.

It is easier to process a single type trash. Home trash is where burning get pretty expensive because people put all sort of stuffs in there. And I am sure the energy is net negative to.

The main issue of trash has always been separation.

Yes, reading that part, I assume that's because for most part, home ownership in rurarl is higher.

I wonder what's stopping them from erecting random wire mesh that will damage drone flying through them.

Well this is actually happening in Japanese Animation and the result is that no young talents are getting trained in the workforce. [1]

But unlike animation, where the demand for the art can just disappear. I don't think the demand for software engineer will disappear. Same thing with musician. Young engineers might just be jobless or on training mode for much longer period of time before they can make actual living money.

Good thing is, as far as I know, Kyoto Animation managed to avoid this issue by having in-house training, growing their own talent pools.

Most of them just use monitor and camera nowadays. You can watch how they work, there are lots of Youtube videos from people in those industry.
