It's because this guy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prabhakar_Raghavan thinks that keeping people engaged on google search longer is what it is all about. Not finding what you search for, no, engagement with your search tool.

"He was the head of search for Yahoo from 2005 through 2012 — a tumultuous period that cemented its terminal decline, and effectively saw the company bow out of the search market altogether. His responsibilities? Research and development for Yahoo's search and ads products.

When Raghavan joined the company, Yahoo held a 30.4 percent market share — not far from Google’s 36.9%, and miles ahead of the 15.7% of MSN Search. By May 2012, Yahoo was down to just 13.4 percent and had shrunk for the previous nine consecutive months, and was being beaten even by the newly-released Bing. That same year, Yahoo had the largest layoffs in its corporate history, shedding nearly 2,000 employees — or 14% of its overall workforce. " - https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-killed-google/

I never thought about sneezing 'culture' or it being learned behavior, but my neighbor is deaf from birth and he sneezes VERY different from what I know and hear around me, so that got me wondering.

I had a "back to the 90s" chill day with my brother this spring. Johnny Mnemonic got us in the feels the hardest :).

How does my soul remember everything back as if I never went to sleep. You do it every day but losing and regaining consciousness in that very practical way is already pretty mind-blowing to me.

Soul creation and experience being so analog is because our brainputers are in some ways very analog, and adaptive. And your biorobotmachine is also very analog, so that kind of clicks for me :)

Why is there even an edge? I'm already mortal, why does my spacetime need hard limits too?? It's just cosmic baloney man.

Its all fun and games until the sea peoples arrive. Ruining all our parties with their looting, hogging all the tin so we can't make bronze. This is why we can't have nice things.

Most of desktop users don't care at all about these gains. Slap in normal ram and an SSD and a 1000 series Ryzen is ready to be a run of the mill desktop, that browses and can show media no problem.

I care! But I'm a power user. Most aren't.
