No global recovery from 2008. A case could be made for no recovery from the .com bust but that's a bit more nebulous. We have not returned to the 08 baseline.

Convenience gives. It's hard to get 5 or six people consistently together at the same time and place. Removing the place makes it more accessible even if objectively worse. I am working on a tabletop thing in python with particle effects and other little tidbits so you can have some visuals that are browser and company independent.

I pick up muted so they have a null like they hit an old fax line

Think about the children . It will make it easier for police to access instead of doing actual police work and getting a warrant.

I would like to see the performance of a FFT optimized AI. I imagine cpu performance would be amazing.

Be a better person. Less ignorant, more useful.

Not a huge effect now with smart systems but if you leave solar panel disconnected from everything and out in the sun for weeks at a time you will damage the panel. Open circuit voltage is higher than operating voltage and higher voltage will break down insulation. PN depends on the insulating properties of a doped layer. If I remember correctly electron tunneling causes damage by making the band gap smaller

This can cause degradation of the PN junction on the panel shortening life. The plans I've seen all have a resistive heater some place to dump the excess when full. Smart equipment does help mitigate most issues like moving the resistance point on the panel for lower efficiency when signaled to do so but less is not the same as none.

Not since 3.5.

It's a grift. They came to steal VC money.

The Soviets tried that and it is the root cause of some of the most serious famines ever seen. Not a good idea. Government, by its nature, is an inefficiency engine. You want the government in the picture as little as possible. This increases that and will cause more inequality not less.
