Blonde
While I do kind of suspect that the next Press Secretary is going to be a blonde with long hair...
Grisham has dark hair, and she was Press Secretary for part of Trump's first term, Sanders has brown hair, and there was Sean Spicer back at the very beginning.
- Sean Spicer: Trump 1, January 20, 2017 – July 21, 2017
- Sarah Huckabee Sanders: Trump 1, July 21, 2017 – July 1, 2019
- Stephanie Grisham: Trump 1, July 1, 2019 – April 7, 2020
- Kayleigh McEnany: Trump 1, April 7, 2020 – January 20, 2021
- Karoline Leavitt: Trump 2, January 20, 2025 – August 27, 2026
- Katie Zacharia, Trump 2, October 12, 2026 – October 16, 2026
Unless "to some degree" is doing an extreme amount of heavy lifting here, I don't expect so.
In general, it's a lot easier to build complex systems when error doesn't propagate through the system, and that happens with analog systems.
With a digital system, a given component has precisely-defined behavior. 1+1=2. And if you manufacture many instances of that component, they all can have the same, precisely-defined behavior.
With an analog system, there are tiny errors that accumulate. 1+1=2.0001, say. Then that tiny error gets passed on to the next component, and maybe the error there magnifies this error.
That doesn't matter much for some simple systems, but it becomes really problematic for complex ones.
Most complex systems we make are made out of simpler parts. Being able to cut that error out of the picture when specifying the behavior of a component or reasoning about it in the context of a larger system is helpful.
And in general, we want to be able to build complex systems.
Digital systems do force quantitization, and that is a limitation on precision. There will probably always be limited use of the occasional analog component, like, oh, a lens, say. Situations where you don't have a chain of many analog components.
But I don't think that we will return to a point where people made simple devices with few components, because the ability to make complex systems is very powerful. And complexity and analog systems don't play well together.
