That sounds like it's not ready for production to me.

I see adoption as a biggest problem. I personally tried to migrate to Telegram and failed to convince even my own wife to give it a try, since imessages work for her and all her friends are there and why bother.

I totally understand that this is an artistic concept and nobody is planning to mass-produce or sell those, but still.

What I really wanna see in vantablack is clothing. I think it'd look really interesting and eye-catching.

The convenience of a car is determined by how likely you choose a car over other means when you need to get somewhere. If there's less roads, you're less likely to choose car, thus the lowering the convenience factor. If there's no roads at all, owning a car is meaningless since you can't drive anywhere, and its convenience is pretty much zero.

I wonder if there's some kind of metrics available breaking down how often an anonymous calls amount to something real vs abuse of system.

Is there a legitimate case where you'd need to call in a SWAT team and remain anonymous at the same time? Seems like if you're legit concerned about the situation, you should have no problem proving your details that could be traced back to you. If you wish to remain anonymous, then your call should be deprioritized and so maybe they send a nearby patrolling officer to investigate the situation before sending SWAT team.

I can't wait for the future where artificial organs and limbs not only match the usability and functionality of the normal ones, but actually exceed it.

If a topic is not discussed in public space enough, its counterpoints and refute arguments become less and less obvious and visible, which leads to people colliding with it for the first time not being mentally equipped to muster rational arguments against it out of their own brain due to not being mentally equipped or mature enough. Not everyone can recreate a hundreds of years of mental and cultural progress on the spot without any external references and talking points readily available.

So if you know nothing about holocaust and encounter a convincing-looking argument that it's a hoax, it's very easy to adhere to this idea and move on with your life thinking it's the truth, especially if you don't see any moral issues with it.

Tabooing controversial topics creates an ideological vacuum that is very easily gets filled with garbage. Especially if the the only actors willing to break the taboo are those who have questionable motives and pushing some sort of angle.

I can't personally imagine Joe Rogan or Sam Harris kind of conversations under the Apple umbrella, since no matter the topic, there's always going to be someone offended and it's now a question of who's gonna spin the "Apple is sponsoring nazis" kind of narrative first.
