Each citizen carries a marble size computer in their skull as a backup of their mind. You get 2 "reincarnations" (IIRC) and on the third you are committed to The Thistledown's public memory where you become known as a "Ghost" who can still interact with corporeal city residents. Everyone knows if someone's body dies, you simply cut open the back of their skull and retrieve the backup so their body can be restored.

Special Operatives of the city have additional devices where they can download their entire persona into a virtual world where time is accelerated and you can devote thousands of years to solving a single problem and then upload the solution to yourself.

Not a single thing here gives the story away, it's actually a rather insignificant part of the story. Well worth the read.

From the Windows T&C:

Everyone has the same right to impose usage conditions on their works.

The same ones programmers have to protect their copy and morals right to their code. Everyone fucks over Artists first because that set's the precedent to fuck over everyone else.

Have they assigned their right. No.

Thanks

Obviously you don't realize that the enormous portions of wealth that the 0.00000000001% hold is not in the economy, it's generating passive income for people that don't want to work and whose biggest concern is who they're richer than. To give you an idea, a few years ago a certain American Royalty Rich moved their wealth from America to Europe. Their wealth was 40% of the US economy, so right now you're enjoying the economic impact of taking a whole lot of money from people who really and truly need it.

Like we always have, lots of people loose everything. It could work, it should work, I even want it to work however looking at human history it will be used as a way to control people.

Let's just face up to the fact that the world is not fair.

It could be worse, like having an AI as a boss.

So many people must feel the same, I thought exactly the same thing.

In 2016 I had to recover from spinal surgery for 10 months and (Doctors orders) do nothing so I watched Netflix and it did feel a bit soul sucking after a while. I could not watch any streaming service for a long time after that and found other things to do.

Watching it now, I kinda wonder what the rug pull is gonna look like and when it is coming.

I liked things like The Matrix and Evangelion, mostly because it was good sci fi. I saw Death Note which was pretty cool however after a few others I kinda lost my way. Any suggestions?

They've done alright so far with Three Body Problem compared to the books. I'd compare it to Orson Scott Card, "The Abyss" which I read before the movie and was impressed how well they matched the book, right down to the Garfield handing onto the inside of a dome glass portal in the station.

Investing in stories that are good and get cancelled really is the biggest thing that turns me off Netflix, or any streaming service.

I'm looking at you WestWorld.

your career has just begun.

Now we can say: "People are dying to see Oracle's software working properly."

You can tell from the way they use their walk.
