If it was truly her that said it, she would have been even younger than that. The book in which it’s written (which is known to not be fully factual and in which the quote is attributed to “a great princess”) was written when Antoinette was 9 years old. But it wasn’t published until she was 26, eight years after she became queen.

“If they have no bread, let them eat cake.” sounds like something I would expect a 6-7yo who had never gone without luxury food to say.

Sadly I cannot, since the source is an ex-Googler I know in person who was there personally. While I fully believe the story, I’m just some rando on the Internet, so you’re welcome to take it with the appropriate pile of salt.

At which point you have to slurp down a few hundred terabytes from the other datacenters when the power turns back on.

This is why Google datacenter managers hesitate to turn off the power even when an employee is in the process of getting electrocuted.

Not everyone has the means and opportunity to pack up and leave a shitty state.

The flip side of this is charter schools aren’t required to take special needs kids, either. Oh, your kid has Down Syndrome or is Autistic and needs additional staff or effort? Sorry, they’re not welcome here. They have to go to the public school. The public school doesn’t have enough funding to afford Special Ed teachers because it’s all been vouchered away to charter schools? Tough titty.

Public schools work because the money pays for things like Special Education and Gifted and Talented programs. Charter schools can’t afford either, so they don’t provide either. Even ignoring the possible pitfalls of for-profit motives, you’re going to end up with a weakened education system because without collective funding, all education must be geared towards the statistical average.

The ability to automatically detect commercials (via sound level / machine learning) and skip them would be amazing as well. There’s an app for iOS that does this, but nothing for Android.
