I like it. I am looking forward to the sensor array Ryan Graves wants to build. Then I imagine we'll get a deluge of data.
When were these elements non-rogue?
They just got spotlighted now. Of course it shouldn't be like this.
Become an experiencer yourself.
Ted Owens wrote a little book about it called "How to contact space people."
Eliminate the middle man.
you never have the correct change
As a result change accumulates. Every so often I bring it to my credit union and throw it into a machine and deposit it for free.
oftentimes you get changed short
It's very rare and the mistakes sometimes happen in my favor.
takes up too much space
Not usually. Only when on occasion I need to process a lot of change at once is there a significant space requirement.
you have to balance between not carrying too little and not carrying too much
This is trivial. I never spend more than half a second on such a decision. Usually I know instantly what to bring.
hard to track spending
That's a feature.
i believe that we need the option to use cache in society
I believe cache must remain legal tender and refusing to accept cache should result in a felony conviction plus one year imprisonment.
That said, I would eliminate the penny and the nickel, and put the quarter on a serious diet. Then outlaw all the .99 and .95 type pricing. It might be OK to do away with the dime as well and only leave the largest coin in use.
Privacy and the freedom from oversight by any large entity are non-negotiable.
The only oversight I support is me doing oversight on you, and never someone else doing oversight on me. I am not a masochist.
Anything offered without an argument can be negated without an argument.
These robots are a hazard and a nuisance to the pedestrians. I won't shed a single tear for these tincans on wheels. I would not order one of these either.
It still does matter because as long as enough people keep abandoning mature (rotten) corporations for the younger ones, the right and unignorable signal will be sent.
Premium will eventually show ads too.
Other apps, including the foss AnySoftKeyboard, solve this by letting the user tweak the length of the vibration.
I am enjoying learning how to use the thumb-key:

I see a lot of potential in it. I miss the escape, control, and the alt keys, and a partial select (in addition or instead of the 'select all') would be nice. However, for all the bread and butter typing, it seems great to me now.

In capitalism businesses have only one purpose. "To last long" ain't it. The biggest owners and their chief lieutenants must make as much money as is humanly possible. Sometimes that means a long term strategy, and sometimes it doesn't.
