Depends on where you live. In Japan, most of the time it's either way too hot to hang out on the balcony or way too cold. In Europe it's fine in many places for most of the year.
Some of it also has to do with rent prices which can be higher if you have a balcony.
Also, and again in Japan: There is an emergency balcony exit in some apartment buildings in case a natural disaster hits. It's probably easier to climb your way down a bunch of balconies with holes in the ground than a blank wall
We can argue as much as we want about whether moore's law covers technological development in general or be pedantic like good old fundamental Christians and only read what the words say.
The bigger problem is that we have reached the era of what we could tentatively call "wal s'eroom". Thanks to enshittification (another one of those slippery words!) I predict that technological progress reverses from now on by 50% every 2 years.
Please take context into account. Please.

Ubuntu's role in the ecosystem is important. They are good at first luring people into using linux. Then the users get pissed off of Ubuntu, because of Snap, ads, or whatever random crap they know from Windows. Finally, they move on to better options, be it Arch, Debian, or Puppy. Ubuntu ensures they don't all stick to the same
He would probably have died of natural causes anyway by now. But just disappearing for a few decades might be a sign someone wasn't happy with his bodily integrity? Maybe he chills below one of the Miami skyscrapers now or whatever people in his business do in such cases.
Slightly late, but I currently rewatch the lecture I talked about in my other comment. The interesting part starts roughly here:

But really, the entire lecture series is quite worth a watch.
I got 600$ in the bank motherfucker
Are those the Results of the Search of the Rise of the Return of the Planet of the Apes?
For politicians: Gesturing that you "do something" against the "rampant crime" happening everywhere, which makes you appear as if you care about citizens. On the other hand, actually doing something (e.g., preventative measures) is too expensive and doesn't make you look cool as a politician. If you introduce the new surveillance 'AI' 2000 (tm) by Future Corp., you represent safety, power, future, even if there is nothing meaningful behind it.
For Future Corp.: Sell a lot of shit to politicians and profit.
Still looks ripped under that shirt. Let him sit there for a few years and see how that changes!
