Usually, when some system is getting outdated, the system gets replaced or updated to fit the needs. Does this system work for the majority of USA, or not? Do I read it correctly, that the poor people have medicare/medicaid and therefore it's fine for them, the average person has some health insurance and don't mind spending a few thousands of dollars once in a while when his life is in stake?
So to avoid google's android I buy google phone to not run android?
Regarding the unstable times: Consider living in any year in the past 50 years or so. There are shocks and game-changing events happening subsequently after each of the year you have possibly chosen. Oil crisis here, war there, collapse of some country, technological breakthrough, etc.. Unless you live in countries, where you don't plan for years, but for months or days upfront. Then your life is much more stereotypical, when you just try to survive every day.
That's not the way how human brain works.
You miss the point - by collecting and processing medical data they would fall into a thoroughly regulated industry. Not because they may provide you incorrect data, because they are not allowed to process them.
ZKP is definitely a good idea, definitely more open for this kind of age verification than anything else. And I don't buy the argument of "closing internet", social networks are a proprietary service and if you don't want to obey with the regulations, create your own website and post things there if you want. However you have to provide your identity to the domain name registry or to the intermediary. Also other services require you to verify your age or even provide your identity, this is just another one that comes way too late.
So to not get confused, when you ask for a new laptop in your corporate and you say 14 inch Pro Max, don't get lured to get Pro Max Premium, or even Pro Max Plus, just say you want Pro M5 Max, because otherwise you are getting Dell. And make sure to not say "Just get me a Pro, bro", because you might be getting HP Pro desktop!
For people that want to make the calculation: A truck does not need a 15 ton battery. In Europe, we have mandatory breaks for truck drivers. So you need a battery pack for max 400km of range, let's say 500km. When you have a break, you charge. For this, you need like 1500kWh battery pack, which weigths like ... wait, 15 tons. But this is not entirely correct, the real values reported are between 120-150Kwh/100km, that means a half of the stated number, 7.5 tons for the battery pack.
I think Github Actions is just a lead for Microsoft customers to use paid Azure DevOps. It is bad intentionally.
LM Studio is awesome in a way how easily you can start with local models. Nice UX, not needed to tweak every detail, but giving you the options to do so if you want.
The recent tactic is to spread distrust to own government by any means necessary - seemingly random failing infrastructure is hardly attributable to some foreign actor, yet it has implications on who gets in the government after next elections, especially europarliament. And as you can observe, most of the "anti-system" parties are pro-russian, openly or by agenda. edit: I'm not saying this accident looks like sabotage. The spread of propaganda after it happened it's a different story.
Good job! OSINT rules. And regarding drones, surely any state actor may be doing this, however doing surveillance by drones over military bases is just so noob. That just points out they don't have a capacity to do reconnaissance with satellites, or they are doing something completely different. Probably making sure the target knows someone is watching, saying "We know where you have your sensitive spots".
In Europe we keep 2G as a failsafe, deprecating only 3G.
Oh I love the contact page forms, usually this being the only interactive part of a otherwise static website. Either they crash with a visible 500, or they crash in the background, or the mail goes into who-knows-where, as it was set by a guy that left years ago.
Indeed, it would be quite difficult to smuggle some antimatter to a tumor. I'm saying that research in this particular area eventually led to practical application, PET scans.
PET scan (You have to wait for civic applications of the newly discovered technologies for a while, but the "technology transfer" from CERN to practical applications has a few notable examples.)
Don't forget about Tupolev Tu-154. It didn't stop flying as a commercial airplane because of safety, rather because of noise emission limits.
I believe he wasn't even thinking about duplication of applications per person, but the following scenario. Correct me if I'm wrong: Company A would like to hire 1000 qualified IT personnel. An Indian workforce provider has e.g. 10000 qualified people and would be able to get 5000 of them to apply for the visa. From those that win the lottery (e.g. 1 in 3) you would easily cover the demand of the Company A. Economy of scale works here.
That's quite an insult! I wonder how many foreign workers (or foreigners in general) take the eventuality of getting "randomly" detained into account while travelling into USA.
IMO the biggest issue is that instead of reviewing the code of your colleagues, you review some random generated stuff. You know what kind of code you can expect from your colleagues, not anymore. Also you expect that code reviews promote knowledge and consistency amongst the team and helps them to become better in programming. Not anymore either.

My bank is changing my MFA from SMS to mobile banking auth with each and every mobile banking app update. I tried to explain them to not do so, as when I break, lose my phone, it's quite easy to use a spare or get even a new sim card with the same number, but for anything else (buying a new phone, changing limits for cash withdrawal for a new phone, buying a ticket for public transport to a physical phone shop) I need the MFA code. Which I don't have of course. And surely I don't remember the unique 9 digit random identifier that is written on my bank contract to access mobile banking hotline. Shitlock.
Usually there is this thing called transmission in a car that effectively make the car able to accelerate enough for most of the situations. The only problem with having less horsepower than other cars is that the maximal achievable speed is lower. But for sure riding above 100mph is much more comfortable in other brands.

Do you prefer spreading the pollution over the vast area around the thermal power plants? Because that's the current alternative in most of the countries. Nuclear waste is treated securely enough for now in Europe, and future may bring us scientific development to resolve this problem in future.
Nuclear power plants are vaporizing WATER, which is a much stronger greenhouse gas! :)
I believe that the article is demonstrating some point, and this point is obvious. It's not a scientific article, and even though author does not provide information about data source that doesn't mean that there is no data source.
Big enough to get the rough estimates.
