"We need you to stop making a good product forcing your customers to only use your version so your customers can finally move away from it." Fixed it. Non-apple watches, for instance, can't use GPS from an iPhone or cause it to emit sound to local lost phones, despite being previously able to, demonstrating no technical limitations just a walled-garden limitation

Anything with OnStar capability can definitely track you, which I know started at least as far back as 2006 in Saabs

Is this AI written? I'm pretty sure The Thief Lord doesn't have a mysterious disease amywhere

A bit of a long shot but is it maybe one of The Seven Fabulous Wonders series by Katherine Roberts, maybe the Colossus Crisis?

I thought they were all side-lit? Which is functionally the same imo but technically different

You should be able to, but US non-car infrastructure is so abysmal that there's a strong chance you can't safely unfortunately

Hell a roof rack on my 20 year old 3 series and a ton of rope has moved sofas, plywood and pallets, and one memorable trip 5 bikes

What's your alternative? Unless there's a successful January 6th equivalent the options are humoring the system and making progress as best you can or reject the system and maybe engage in resultless protests while letting fascists take over the system. At that point your options become be a fascist or die.

And help one of the 5 benefits they listed?

I'm a huge Martha Wells fan but I actually find Murderbot to be one of her weaker series. Granted I only read the first two, but I just couldn't get into it and enjoy it like I have with her other works

They don't make it obvious at all, in fact they do their best to seem like you can't

US funding for basic research--the type that will lead to the truly paradigm-shifting breakthroughs--has also been in decline for 50+ years as a proportion of GDP. While bureacracy could be an obstacle, the much larger one is insufficient resources to fund a lot of moonshots that may fizzle or may result in 'zero to one's innovation, as the author states

I have an aeropress and have only ever used a metal filter with it! I've had normal paper filtered aeropress coffee and I can't taste the difference

I mean they very obviously aren't failing in droves, Disney for instance has been increasing their profit every year except 2020 for the last while.

Mirror every object. You don't realize how many things are designed with a right-handed assumption unless you aren't right handed. Also, most people can't read well anymore because it's all backwards

He rarely pays his own lawyers, why the heck would he pay anyone else's?

I don't have specific papers but a lot of research into the origins of life on this planet go into that kind of thing! I know there have been interesting findings into using clay imprints for self replication, for instance

If you've ever played around with an old-style lighter (think classic Zippo) you'd get it! They're fairly expensive, and aren't airtight so they need to be refilled every few days/weeks. If you fill them too much they need to be kept upright or they'll spill lighter fluid on you. Super cool and can hold flames for a while but not nearly as conventient as a matchbook for quick fire lighting
