--Flash memory-based disks are already discussed and listed under the "Flash Disk" article. While they technically are solid state disks, just as USB keydrives and RAM disks are also technically solid state disks, they have grown enough in popularity and usage to warrant their own unique category. Either all kinds of solid state storage -- SSDs, key drives, RAM disks, and flash disks -- should be merged into one article, or they should maintain separate categories. And until someone succeeds in lobbying for the removal of the keydrive and the flash disk articles from Wikipedia, it would be inappropriate to duplicate the information in those articles in this one.

On The War in Ukraine:
53:51
Lex Fridman:  So you mentioned nuclear weapons. I'd love to hear your opinion about the 21st century and whether you think we might destroy ourselves and maybe your opinion if it has changed by looking at what's going on in ukraine that we could have a hot war with nuclear powers involved and the tensions building and the seeming forgetting of how terrifying and destructive nuclear weapons are.  Do you think humans might destroy ourselves in the 21st century and if we do how do we avoid it? 
Ray Kurzweil:  I don't think that's going to happen despite the terrors of that war. It is a possibility but it's unlikely. Even with the tensions we've had with this one nuclear power plant that's been taken over. It's very tense but i don't actually see a lot of people worrying  that's going to happen. i think we'll avoid that we had two nuclear bombs go off in 1945 so now we're 77 years later. We're doing pretty good we've never had another one go off through anger 
Lex Fridman: But people forget people forget the lessons of history.  
Ray Kurzweil:  I am worried about it i mean that that is definitely a challenge. 
Lex Fridman: But you believe that we'll make it out and ultimately super intelligent AI will help us make it out as opposed to destroy us.
Ray Kurzweil:  I think so but we do have to be mindful of these dangers and and there are other dangers besides nuclear weapons.

thread_title:  Untitled 2018 

message: I noticed this template is generally meant to be placed directly under the infobox of all English Bible translation articles. The template as it currently stands features a cover of the King James Version Bible. This change was made in December 2016. The King James Version translation is obviously historically significant, but with this template meant to be on *all* English Bible translation articles, I don't think it makes sense (particularly on modern translation articles) to have the King James Version featured. I feel it degrades the tidiness and flow of multiple articles.
I propose this template should revert to its November 2016 state, merging this with a minor category change made in 2020.
If there is no opposition to this proposition, I will soon create a new edit merging the content of the November 2016 edit and the latest edit (from 2020).

message: *Try removing the useless info in the article  Trevor 16:00, Aug 10, 2006
**The 4th and 5th paragraphs in this article are totally useless and uninformative. In fact, they are a waste of the time spent reading it, and difficult to read at all. The 'tomorrow's today is today's tomorrow is the day before...etc' part is almost painful to read and doesn't provide any useful information other than proving that repetition is just plain irritating. 
**Should definately be replaced with something simple such as "Tomorrow is the day after today, therefore Yesterday's tomorrow would be today." No more than that or else it becomes confusing, annoying and repels any interest at all.
***Well, here's how it read as of July 18: "Yesterday's tomorrow is simply today, and the day before yesterday's tomorrow is yesterday's today.

replies: text: I think that the matter is adequately dealt with in the text, identifying the conspirators as members of the "country party" who became Whigs.  However the second paragraph dealing with the context for the plot is very poor and needs re-writing.  Peterkingiron (talk) 13:46, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Ronald Hutton in Charles II, discussing various political machinations of 1680 (including the "Irish Plot") already refers to the Whigs and their actions. Later, in describing the Rye House Plot, he writes: "It soon became obvious that two plots had been discovered, the murder project, discussed by former Cromwellians from London of insignificant social and political rank, and a scheme to overpower the Guards and seize custody of the King, mooted by leading Whigs." Also: "The arrests and trials [resulting from the discovery of the Rye House Plot] broke the Whig party." As well, the article on the Whig party cites its foundation date as 1678. What evidence is there that the conspirators were country party and not Whigs?  SkookumDog (talk) 18:14, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: It needs to be born in mind that there were no organised political parties in this period.  The terms "Whig" and "Tory" were terms of abuse used applied to adherents by their opponents.  Peterkingiron (talk) 15:38, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for your response. However, it does not address my question in that it fails to present evidence that the conspirators were known as members of a "country party" rather than as "Whigs." I cited a respected historian's work which describes them as Whigs, and would like to see something at least that substantial to support the view that they were not Whigs, but members of a "country party."

thread_title: Pampas in Peru

message: I'm not sure Pampa refers to such an area is the article states right now:
"are the fertile lowlands mostly of Brazil that extend across c. 900,000 km² between latitudes 28°-39°S and longitudes 50°-65°W. This area encompasses the southernmost part of Brazil, the whole of Uruguay and the central-eastern part of Argentina."
According to the Britannica:
"Pampas, the: vast plain extending westward across central Argentina from the Atlantic coast to the Andean foothills, bounded by the Gran Chaco (north) and Patagonia (south)."
I have to agree with Britannica's definition, but I'm not sure which one is correct.
Britannica's definition is lacking information and it's wrong, the Pampas is extended through the south of the State of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil, all of Uruguay's territory, and the eastern portion of central Argentina.

thread_title:  Bolero 

message: I'm not sure if the tag I used was the right one, but this article needs a bit of retooling.  For one, it should be made quite clear that Ballroom rumba is not in the same family at all as Cuban Rumba, nor did it directly decent from it (although the two are somewhat related).  
The music to which ballroom dancers refer to as Rumbas is usually bolero, or at least very related to the Cuban bolero, as someone else mentioned earlier.  Mikkalai, your "Sorry, wrong" does not cut it.  The music does not follow the rumba clave, but rather the son clave, and is clearly falls into the son music family.  Just have a look at that little snippet of sheet music found at the bottom of the page.  It is closer to a son rhythm than rumba.  
More common examples of confusion caused by the conflating of these two totally different music and dance styles into one article include the information in the info box.  It says under Mainstream popularity that it is significant in Latin America and Africa, rare elsewhere.  This applies to Cuban rumba (ie, true rumba), but not at all to ballroom rumba, which has no mainstream popularity in Latin America, nor Africa.  The cultural origins given are: African slaves in Havana and Matanzas.  This again applies nicely to Cuban rumba, but not at all to ballroom Rumba, which again is a decendent of the son, not of rumba, and has a different history.  I could go on.  So, why are these two in the same article?
As imprecise use of terminology and poor classification have caused this article to be quite misleading, I sincerely suggest that sections devoted to ballroom rumba be removed from this section and placed in one of its own.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Acwiki (talk • contribs) 1 September 2006.
