As the life spans of your things grow ever shorter, and you are increasingly overwhelmed, to paraphrase a Kate Atkinson character, by "the relentless culling and resolution that the material world demands," selling your stuff without having to leave home would seem to be an enchanting innovation and do much to dull the sting of an object's obsolescence.

Only Japan, the country most identified with population decline, appears to have resisted the current populist wave — arguably either because its restrictive immigration policies immunize its native-born population from fears of demographic obsolescence, or because it already experienced a populist surge, with disappointing results, when the tradition-breaking Democratic Party of Japan was voted into power in 2009.

And that waste stream only grows bigger and faster as electronics become cheaper (allowing more people to buy them) and as the industry plans obsolescence into its consumer products — encouraging people to buy a new phone every year, for example, and offering replacement products at prices equal to or cheaper than a repair when a computer or tablet is damaged.

"The Right to Repair Act will provide consumers with the freedom to have their electronic products and appliances fixed by a repair shop or service provider of their choice, a practice that was taken for granted a generation ago but is now becoming increasingly rare in a world of planned obsolescence," Susan Talamantes Eggman, a Democrat from Stockton who introduced the bill said in a statement.

THE YOU DON'T KNOW JACK AWARD FOR PREMATURE FORCED OBSOLESCENCE To Apple, of course, for eliminating the headphone jack from the iPhone; killing MagSafe in favor of USB-C on new MacBooks; and then refusing to supply any other ports on those MacBooks, meaning that, remarkably, that if you go to an Apple Store and buy a new iPhone and a new MacBook, you cannot plug the former directly into the latter.

I think it's possibly right as far as it goes, meaning because of the lack of the obvious low-hanging fruit of fiscal -- and I'll explain what I mean by "fiscal" -- fiscal policies that would restore levels of growth significantly higher than those described by Ray Dalio and Timothy Geithner, restore that to the developed world in the absence of fiscal policies in tax regulations, trade, education policies that would deal with the consequences of technological obsolescence.

So Sontag responded to a 21993 survey "about intellectuals and their role" with a kind of regal pique: What the word intellectual means to me today is, first of all, conferences and roundtable discussions and symposia in magazines about the role of intellectuals in which well-known intellectuals have agreed to pronounce on the inadequacy, credulity, disgrace, treason, irrelevance, obsolescence, and imminent or already perfected disappearance of the caste to which, as their participation in these events testifies, they belong.

For as much information as the stuff set in the past gave us about the reasons the Delos corporation invented what would ultimately become human obsolescence (which is eerily timely with all of the conversations we're having about how the internet has broken us), the real thrust of the narrative isn't about humans at all, but about the Hosts, and about the idea that corporations will always love to build their dystopias atop an endless supply of cheap or even slave labor.

That's why many people suspected that "throttle gate," in which Apple was caught slowing down iPhones with old batteries, was a ploy to sell more iPhones (the phones were slowing down to prevent them from shutting off, but Apple never disclosed this to the user.) Though there's no evidence that Apple has a business model based on planned obsolescence, the company attempted to downplay the fact that it was slowing down people's old phones without telling them, which had the side effect of helping the company to sell more phones.

Moreover, there still remain a number of major hurdles ahead for TSLA, including: 13) ongoing Model 3 production ramp and future operational challenges associated with expanding the product lineup; 2) what could be a very material cash burn in coming quarters (from ongoing delivery/logistic issues, Shanghai factory construction, etc.) which could pressure TSLA's liquidity even with recent capital inflows and require future capital raises; 3) faster than usual spike and burnout pattern for Model S/X; and 4) the prospect of new competition and longer term obsolescence.
