Universal basic income, return to FDR era tax rates but factoring in current inflation and closing the loopholes, strong antitrust laws with teeth, tying c suite pay structure to a percentage over the lowest paid worker, and any bonus to top levels based on profit must be equally shared with everyone in the company.

Let’s throw in any fines are calculated based on a person’s income for good measure

You mean the three last remaining pieces of Ma Bell after the children mostly combined back together?

May I recommend either duck or dolphin

That’s messed up. Where?

In my area it’s around $3.20

Honestly, get the flux and a hot air station instead, imo. Then again, I prefer being able to have control over where the heat is going instead of reflowing everything at once

Might as well add some picos to scratch that itch. And the rabbit hole that micro controllers bring… next thing you know, your work desk is also a solder station, a hot air station, PCB design, circuit design, and you’ve got two extra diy printers in various state of being built/rebuilt

I don’t have a problem, you have a problem

Depends on how we approach viability, imo

Can we currently see a reason for it with its current abilities/functions? No

But

We can look right at the history of conventional computing to predict a possible timeline for it. Single purpose computational machines that took a lot of power, a lot of room, and were fairly rare. Used for military or research purposes. Multi purpose machines that could run user created calculations and were slightly smaller and efficient. Begins to be used in more academic settings Multipurpose machines capable of being used to aid general office staff, continue to become more compact and efficient Portability becomes possible for select few with a need And so on until we arrive to now where nearly everything and everyone has a computer

I’m more expecting innovations to reduce the need for the super cooling but same

While true, it doesn’t mean we should stop. At worst, we find techniques that improve other areas of technology

Honestly the laws of physics are constantly in flux and there’s no telling what we could create to circumvent the limits we’re currently pushing.

As I mentioned in my example: before the innovations with transistors, there was no way to make a portable computer. It was physically impossible

And digital computers needed tube relays and entire buildings to work. With innovation and time, it’ll become more easily handled

I think it’ll take a new component/circuit design for quantum to be viable for home computing similar to the transformation that happened to computers after the addition of the transistor

Yeah, that sounds exhausting. Can we skip that

It’s actually the latest Jeff Geerling video and it was partly tongue in cheek
