Might not need anything except economies of scale. But getting that is the problem.

Tablet sized eink displays found a niche that couldn't quite be displaced by smartphones and regular tablets. That let them have a market for getting costs down.

There would need to be a similarly wide use case to get the price down on larger eink displays.

Peaceful protest and violent resistance often work in conjunction.

Have experiences and respect other life. That's really it.

The Earth created lifeforms that can understand the universe. Even if there are other conditions out there that can create life like that, it's not common. There is unfathomable empty space between planets and their moons. To say nothing of between planets or stars or galaxies.

Good news! You're one of these rare combinations of matter that can understand the universe. In a real way, we are the universe trying to understand itself. Scientists explore it in a deep way, and should be respected for that, but you don't need a PhD to participate. A single celled organism who figured out better ways to swim in its little pool helped the universe understand itself. The first human to taste a strawberry helped the universe understand itself. Have experiences.

There's a lot of other life also participating in this, and they should be respected, too.

CGA has some complexities. I haven't gone over everything, but I think the pictures are correct.

And as another poster said, VGA conversion is a problem all its own. See the 8-bit Guy's video: https://youtu.be/niKblgZupOc

But extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. I require extraordinary evidence to believe that--checks thread again--a five year old had a tantrum about a dress in Target.

And they made fun of millennials for participation trophies.

The Free Market (holy be thy name) gives you the choice between $1/bottle for milk with chalk and bleach, or $10/bottle for one with less chalk and bleach. If you want one without chalk and bleach, you'll need to find your own cow.

Also, the cows all have birth defects and need uranium-powered antibiotics to stay alive.

Now, let us open our song books to number 34: "Praise Hayek and His Perfect Mustache".

There are no successful black men, and we'll prove it by making sure they leave the country.

Agree. The whole point is to lean into a racist stereotype, and then subvert it.

All good with these coming back, but let's keep the racist puffin in the past.

Be glad you don't have VR. Those porn vids get big.

Which, in the context of Social Darwinism, still puts the idea to rest.

Unfortunately, yes, and you can find a lot of them in this thread.

It turns out working together is a highly successful strategy. You can stretch the definition of "fit" to say that working together improves fitness, but if so, it still becomes much harder to justify Social Darwinism.

"Survival of the fittest" is itself a naive view of evolution. "Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution", by Peter Kropotkin, was a direct response to that shit over 100 years ago. It was a precursor to Kin Selection Theory developed in the 1960s. It gave the idea a firm mathematical foundation and is largely accepted by biologists today.

Everyone who rode the market out over the last few decades made more money than those trying to time it.

I knew people that were using disinfecting wipes on their groceries because of contact tracing. Eg, they couldn’t know what or who made contact with their products prior to having them, so they did the right thing in the context of contact tracing and sanitized the items to the best of their ability.

No, they wasted cleaning product. As I outlined some replies ago, this did have real consequences.

Let me give you some background. When lockdowns went into effect, I was on the board of a local makerspace with around 400 members and 20k sq ft of space at the time. On that same board was a registered nurse (who has since become a nurse practitioner) and someone in local government who is involved in the administrative part of healthcare policy. When the lockdowns hit, we had the same assumptions about covid being passed through contact, and our landlord also wanted us to have a plan to clean everything before anything opened up again. We figured there might be shortages of cleaning products, so we preordered tubs of industrial strength cleaners in those early days.

Fast forward to summer 2020 as lockdowns start to be lifted (too soon or not). We hesitated to open up fully, but did some limited things. One thing we didn't do was deep clean the whole shop. By then, the research had already shown that covid spread through contact was mostly a nothingburger. I don't remember what we did with the tubs of cleaner (might have donated them to a place with a specific need). We did this at the urging of the nurse and the local gov healthcare person, who both pointed to specific research that was already showing breath being the key transmission method, not contact.

Frankly, I'm going to take the word of a nurse and a local gov worker than you. Both of whom I still consider friends.

One thing we did do in summer 2020 was hold some outdoor drive-in movie nights. People could only go inside to use the bathroom. We did have some hand sanitizer around. By that time, there were already recalls on some hand sanitizer that companies had been putting methanol in them, which can make people go blind, or can be lethal. I went through the area and found about half our bottles were on the recall list.

This is a good example of why "if we only save one life, it's worth it" is a phrase that should be eliminated from the English language. There are always tradeoffs. Always. This tradeoff was not worth it at all. The phrase only serves to stop people from thinking those tradeoffs through.

If that's not enough for you:

• https://health.hawaii.gov/coronavirusdisease2019/what-you-should-know/how-it-spreads/ - "Spread from touching surfaces is not thought to be a common way that COVID-19 spreads."

They do because they can do two things that you and I do not:

• High frequency trading on servers that can process new information and use it before anyone else on the market can. These servers are located as close as possible to the trading exchanges, because the extra milliseconds from speed of light travel will make a difference.
• Trump personally telling them when he's about to make a big policy change

For the rest of us, timing the market is dumb. I'll even say that you might be right about today. You might not be right about tomorrow, or the next. The sum of those moves may even be profitable overall, but not enough to beat someone who stuck with the sp500 with transaction costs taken into account.
