the expectation would be a better solution will surface in reference to streaming.. the same way streaming was a solution to cable.

What would that look like though? The current streaming model was pretty easy to predict ~15 years ago with the advent of online video streaming in general, especially mainstream forms of it such as YouTube. I have a hard time imagining how any other business model for distributing video content would look like, but then again I don't have a very entrepreneurial mind.

His program was more of a virus than a lot of computer viruses out there.

I don't know how much you care about this, but even within each product class (i5, i7, etc) there can be a huge performance delta between specific models, especially in laptop chips. The same applies to AMD.

A YoY inflation rate of ~10% is most assuredly not natural in most of the developed world. I fully understand why it happened, but that serves no justification for the negative impact on the lives of the majority of the population.

A lot of mouth bacteria lives on your tongue. Any dentist will tell you that cleaning your tongue is an important part of oral hygiene, even though it's often overlooked. Doing it really helps with keeping bad breath under control and generally healthier teeth.

Some toothbrushes have a tongue-scraping thing on the opposite side of the bristles.

You fucking bet I scrub my feet. I rock climb and as most climbers do I wear my climbing shoes without socks, which also means they collect a ton of dead skin cells and sweat which makes them smell absolutely vile. I spray them all the time with a multitude of bacteria and fungus killing products, even wash them from time to time, but there's no real solution. I just treat them as biohazard when not climbing. So yes, I make an effort to thoroughly scrub my feet to ensure they don't retain the smell and to try to reduce how many dead cells end up in the shoes.

"Introduction to the Theory of Computation" by Michael Sipser, a book commonly referred to as simply "Sipser". My ToC course in uni was based around that book and while I didn't read the whole thing I enjoyed it a ton.

Sipser is an absolute banger of a book though.

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Python is strongly typed. What is is is dynamically typed, also known as "duck typing".

I second this, incredible product all around. Even better, they recently changed the free tier from allowing 20 devices to 100. An upgraded free tier is not something you see often.
