Theres a whole alien race, The Ferengi, that are obsessed with something called latinum and getting as much as possible because it can't be replicated. Other than that, it has no other useful purpose. You could replicate anything you want for free or you could get some latinum and go to a Ferengi bar and pay someone else to replicate it for you.

So basically yeah, Ferengi are also post-scarcity but since they are the capitalist caricatures of the show, they have random substance xyz so they can still have a reason for rich and poor to exist.

In the song the Sk8r boy is the hero who triumphs in the end so i think it makes sense.

This is such a tragedy. And magnetic tape from that era may or may not hold up long enough before someone finally gets around to having them digitized.

I don't like to stereotype based on names but, if anyone has ever been Gwennyth it's her.

Analogue is doing the lord's work. Software is easy to copy infinite times but hardware isn't prevalent or going to last forever.

I hope someday things like this will end up at a more commodity price

Dope Wars Classic. The best modern recreation of the TI Calculator/Palm Pilot game Drugwar.

Still awesome to play to this day.

I tend to agree. Especially with midroll ads. And I also see YouTube Red/Premium/Plus as too expensive especially compared to free.

I wonder if it cost $1-$3 per month instead of $14 if they wouldn't get so many more subscribers that they would still end up making more money.

Of course they would still be incentivized to slowly raise prices over time but I could be talked into $2 a lot quicker than $15.

Now look see what you've done here, I'm down another Wikipedia rabbit hole!

Love to see this and hate to see it at the same time.

I wonder how long interoperability will last or if they will immediately start forging a new path.
