RSS never developed into anything that an email blast couldn't do.

It turns out creators don't want to pay for the storage.

But let's be honest, you'd probably block their ads if they self hosted.

If you watch the original iPhone release video, Steve Jobs talks about combining a phone, iPod, and Internet connected device together into one thing. The crowd cheered at the first two items, but had no real idea why the third item was such a big deal.

I imagine that Apple is experimenting in the space where VR and AR can be mobile. I don't think they fully understand what a good mobile AR experience should be, but the iPod didn't launch with an app store.

The device can be used mobile and I've seen several reviewers using the device while walking around in a public setting. It looks dumb, but you can do it.

I also think Apple is being conservative in what gets shown while walking because Apple doesn't want its customers to walk in traffic. However, I expect that to change as Apple gets a better handle on walking distractions.

The problem is that any job is going to be targeted for automation in high income countries because the cost of the worker is going to be far higher than the equipment.

The problem is that humans are really bad at caring for unproductive people. If you use wealth generated by natural resources as a proxy for wealth generated by robot labor, humans have a bad record of distributing the material wealth.

On the family level, you see some supporting of other family members. However, it becomes a lot harder as you go beyond people's immediate kin.

HobbitFoot ,

Yeah, but it is going to be an adjustment for society to decide what to do when a large segment of the population will never be economically or otherwise productive.

HobbitFoot ,

You just had regular and weird. Now there are flavors of weird.

I would have been ok if Reddit charged a reasonable rate for its API, even if it was based on having a form of Reddit premium. But the point wasn't that Reddit was charging, it was that Reddit made the price so high that it was wasn't worth it.
