Yes the legacy Cisco IOS had a Tcl interpreter built in, you can drop in to the repl with the tclsh command. The command is still there on newer Linux based IOS versions

Could inflation be a driver of these numbers (wage and spending growth for lower and middle households vs high) growing in tandem? Didn't see that mentioned in the article

Corporate profits have grown (inflation adjusted) from $2.45 trillion to $3.62 trillion over the past 10 years. I think they'll be fine with letting their workers take leave

This actually seems pretty cool. I hope they can make it to production. However I wonder how much it would cost. Will it actually sell for a price people would be willing to pay for a device of such limited utility?
I think risk of fire is the big reason that they are trying to stamp out fireworks. Wild fires have devestated California in recent years, and they start easily with the dry conditions
I assume they mean these products will be voice driven? Maybe I'm an outlier here, but I would not like that, it would make use in public spaces awkward for me. Silence is golden

Glad to see this and other efforts to keep X server going. I don't have strong feelings on the Wayland vs X debate, but the window managers I use don't support Wayland, so I'd like to be able to keep using them
One reason is population growth. Our current system is based on the assumption of an ever growing labor force to fund things like social security, medicare, fund our massive debt, and evrything else we want the government to spend on. In their current form, these systems will break down in the face of population decline. Since existing Americans are having fewer kids and trending downward, immigration is the only way to sustain the model.

This doesn't neccisarily.mean the is the best, or even desireable, way to structure society, but I also think the political system is dysfunctional to the point major change is currently impossible

I didnt down vote you by the way. Just throwing out a counter point to consider

>I'm not a hardware engineer, I've failed miserably in software engineering and now run a VPS host.

I’m curious how hard hosting VPS as a business was to get off the ground? I’ve worked 5 years previously as a Linux sysadmin, but am getting pretty bored at my current job (administering Cisco VOIP systems). Think I’d rather go back to that
