    Yes, like the other commenter replied, the Theils and Musks of the world want to go back to feudalism. That’s also why after years of making a big deal that interfering would tarnish the Washington Post, Bezos now seems to not care what happens to it’s reputation because he knows that there isn’t an alternative anymore.
















  • Finally learning some lessons!

    The century date problem as it was known before Y2K was first described in the 1950s but people assumed it would be a moot point long before it was a problem.

    When some of those mainframes were still in use in the 70s it was brought up again but nothing was done because it was assumed that it would be a moot point long before it was a problem.

    When some of those mainframes or software were still in use (banks, oil companies, the IRS, etc) in the 90s it was finally seen a as a problem and cost billions of dollars to fix.

    Then it happened again in 2020 because it turns out that the fix was to kick the can down the road again.
