A decade is nothing. If issues will be worked through a decade from now, that means the best time to think about opportunities/coonsequences related to that is now.

I thought college is expensive in the US. This is the first time I learned that a random, unverified person can EARN money from going to a college.

Cool site! You’d find this wiki a fun read: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Button_(Reddit)

That’s very cool! Does it use the source code at all? Or does it just use README and directory tree?

I don’t understand how this works. I know someone who founded successful startup based on art-painting robots. But why will anyone buy such art not attached to fame? Unlike bitcoin, the supply of such art is not limited. It’s still infinitely reproducible through the robot.

Serious question, if the United States decided to unilaterally cut North Korea off from the Internet, how hard would that be to do? Could we just knock out a few cables?
North Korea pretty much only uses the Internet for scams Or to make money in violation of sanctions. They certainly don’t allow their citizens to use it for anything else, and they don’t allow their citizens to leave the country because they would never come back.
Even if it were only temporary, suddenly cutting off the Internet to the country would expose all of those remote workers to the people who employ them and don’t realize they are employing North Koreans when they all disappear at once.
Is this just not logistically feasible? or are we just too afraid it would be unpalatable to our allies? I can’t be the first person who has thought of this.
The Chinese government had built the infrastructure for the Great Firewall, allowing them to block whoever they want. The US does not have this capability.
