One day your Internet search history is going to traumatize a police officer.

I hope they own Jones' likeness to the point where they can give DJs the rights to remix his shouts into something of value.

Reminds me of this ropeway thing that Tom Scott covered that doesn't require power input either, for similar reasons:

Niche application but still cool.

In this case YouTube can do literally anything they want due to the lack of real alternatives. Hosting videos for free, for anyone (and any number of viewers) to watch, for free, is rather predictably not a very profitable business model. If you want to see what it takes to actually be profitable with such a model, look at the average free porn site. Extremely intrusive ads everywhere. If you don't want to pay, and ads are the only revenue, advertisers are the customer, not you.

I love how OOP devolves into shoving code up it's own ass.

"unrealized gains" that you can somehow live off of indefinitely.

Flour is flammable and light. If the fan makes a bunch of it fly around in your oven the heating element could ignite it. Search YouTube for "flour fire".

Probably not super dangerous at if you're just baking a sheet pan of flour, but good to be safe.

If you bake dry flour , remember to NOT use convection.

You can make safe edible cookie dough pretty easily . The eggs aren't the only issue, it's the flour itself. If you bake it at like 275F for 30 mins in a sheet pan it'll sterilize it. For edible cookie dough that won't be baked you don't even need eggs.

Having said that, I too have eaten my share of regular cookie dough.

It has about the same capabilities as a normal phone , is better in a a few niche uses, but is much more fragile and costs double. What, are you not sold?

The wise thing is to not offer perpetual licenses in the first place. You can't predict the state of your business in 10 years let alone beyond that. Why make commitments that? Marketing of course. So if they're going to raise capital that way (by one-time revenue from sales of perpetual licenses) then they can't just decide that perpetual doesn't mean perpetual anymore. All in all this will come down to a legal duel between expensive legal teams.

Because they make it easy and do a few cool things.

"Do you want a mic in your home that can record everything you say and do and send that data off to wherever the company chooses?"

"No of course not."

"What about of it will also turn your lights on and off and play despacito on demand?"

"You son of a bitch, sign me up".
