Do you want to manufacture? Maybe if a mfg plant comes in a box where you can just plug it in. Then it'll have to be justified in price vs just buying it. For example, whats the cost of growing your own vegetables vs buying them? Even with costs so low as seeds, its hard to beat buying from a store or online (for pretty much anything). Specialized skills in some markets make things so efficient its often not worth trying to compete. Take your favorite widget and think what it would take to make your own version (considering the I,pencil economic paper). Huge expense, massive undertaking, just to eek out maybe a modest profit. How different is it than thinking, "I'll grow my own coffee." Most likely have to grow in a greenhouse, plus compete with a monstrous supply chain that has spent its existance becoming more efficient, and grows where the climate supports it. Its the reason for trade.

Why not "step up" to a service based economy?

In the voice of Chris Walken "your're doing it all wrong Microsoft"

Why would someone want to go from a keyboard/mouse, which has stood the test of time and is efficient, to a less granular, imprecise, method of control? Maybe if we're in a Star Trek turbolift, but sitting at a workstation? Voice recognition and output to text has been around for what, 25 years at least? Nobody uses it. But these days, Microsoft doesn't seem to care what's best for the consumer or whether they want it, but shove whatever they think they can profit from down their throats.

Am I the only one who thought those mice were unusable? Rather have a plain old Dell MS116. Now that's a good mouse.

Not worried. Real talent is obvious. I remember hearing Aaron Lewis (Staind) and Fred Durst playing "Outside" on the radio back in 99/2000, thought it was a decent song at the time. Didn't know that Aaron came up with it right then. Can AI come up with anything authentic sounding like that? https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3F...

The first apples, you had to supply your own plywood to screw the keyboard and computer internal guts down to. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2FoekjffmeLys%3Ft... What a pampered society we've become.

Yeah, the problem is the charger block, not you buying a phone every other day...

What about uncoupling mitochondria? Curcumin:

A caveat, restoring mitochondria can reactivate latent virus/cancer? Many cancer approaches work via ampk, which requires low energy (lots more ADP than ATP). Some cancers / viruses come back / reactivate / exit latency when their energy levels are restored.

Why not punish everyone? Isn't that what most laws are? One person does something bad and everyone loses rights, aka team punishment? I remember in school one kid pissed all over the bathroom wall. Even tho they knew who did it, everyone had a strict set of rules imposed, after basically no rules. All the kids were mean to that one kid after that. Then a year or two later, one kid repeated kicked him while the teacher stepped out for a second to what looked like an inch of his life. Never saw him again, but i looked him up and I think he raped someone. Good job teachers.

*or those that didn't want to be there... dropped out

And this is why college was a completely different experience from high school. Everyone wanted to be there (and if you didn't, you got notes from someone that day, or those that didn't want to be there). I only remember one guy ever making wisecracks in college, and they were actually really funny.

A retailers dream, every price is an auction and push it up as high as possible. Get the most profit from every customer. No longer "customer would have paid x dollars more for an item, but because theres one price, we missed out." The rich have always had the benefit that a loaf of bread costs the same as a poor person, but not if every purchase price was negotiated! Imagine the profit potential? Someone needs something today, gouge the f out of them! Other stores ran out, price skyrockets instantly! Woohoo goes the superelite.

Did you really just define an acronym for that slashdot post?

Oops AT&T Mexico left off encryption? Taking money from both the Mexican govt and cartels, while f'ing them both over? Meanwhile whereever else it was "accidentally" left off, was turned back on? Or is now at least

Tit for tat. Fine dailymail for unregistered softcore porn. Almost nothing but debauchery.

"your body"

You don't need permission to have a kid, any pedophile, druggie, or even murderer can become a parent, but do need it to get unabuseable cancer medication. The guy that raped and murdered my 7 year old cousin in the 80s has a wife, he needs no permission to have kids (and may have some, somehow his information disappeared from the internet).
