How much is this problem is down to AI and how much to beautiful tariffs?

You're suggesting The Matrix is the way to go?

Just out of interest, did DOGE go after the FAA at any time?
We had a Slashdot poster (posting as a/c of course) blaming DEI whenever anything went wrong at Boeing, as you can imagine that was a lot of posts.

They aren't complete idiots, if the solution was that simple they would do it that way.

That could be said to apply to the West Bank to a certain extent, as far as I remember (and I was a kid when it happened) that was the part left over after Israel had grabbed the land - kicking the previous occupants out which was the initial State of Israel. Refugees from there mostly landed in Lebanon, Jordan and Gaza.
Israel backed Christian militia perpetrated a massacre (Sabra and Shatila) in 1982 after the armed PLO fighters had withdrawn from the area and I have no idea what the situation is there nowadays.
Israel invaded the West Bank in 1967, "settlers" are treating a bit like the US treated the "Indians" in the 19th century, although still on a smaller scale.

Could you explain which are the territories where Arabs could grant full citizenship to Palestinians? Israel could do that in the West Bank but then they would be outnumbered. Jordan did that in the 1960s, something which basically divided the country into two - the previous inhabitants and the refugees, the two had different priorities and it did not go well.

The examples named were not of conflicts over water, they were of Russians and Israelis creating water shortages as a weapon.

Jakarta has a host of problems and Indonesia wishes to move the capital to a completely new site but this plan is not going smoothly, I have seen several reports of major problems recently. The reasons for the move include Jakarta sinking by two inches a year when it's already in danger of dropping below sea level.

Panic over. I did some testing on my connection and while Download speeds were pretty much normal, Upload speeds were in the region of 800kb.
Then I ran my ISP's speed test and it told me to restart the modem (I'd reset the connection in the modem an hour or so earlier, no real change).
Some sites had been behaving normally, others were functionally unreachable. Now all is back to normal - the problem was in my four walls.

Is something going on? Slashdot is really slow at the moment and when I tried to RTFA on the Guardian, it timed out completely.

Having the retirement age being 65 works pretty will with this, but can we assume that people actually retiring did not shift their brains into "early ageing" mode?

That was always the case, but I don't think it still holds true - I bought my Samsung phone around Easter this year and it is supposed to be receive OS updates until some time in 2031.
Its predecessor was released at the start of 2020 and OS support ended with Android 13. They still issued minor-level updates to 13 for a while, but that was it. The EU mandated longer support a few years ago but I think it was after that phone was released.

If they do that they'll have to take responsibility for the consequences when shit happens, and it's not as though they can weasel out with "we didn't know" - this warning makes it clear that they are aware of what can go wrong.

Meanwhile the first paragraph of the summary above includes

Along with several warnings from Microsoft to only activate this if you really want to take the risk.

If I wanted to use this "feature" I'd want a standalone machine with no actual real data, but I don't so it's moot anyway.

If you want to know why a lot of Ukranians saw the Nazis as the "lesser evil", take a look at Holodomor, just under 4 million Ukranians died of starvation around 1931 - 1934, another million died the same way in other grain producing areas outside the Ukraine.
btw, a large part of current-day western Ukraine was either Poland or Romania before WW2, and a large proportion of those killed by Bandera's followers were Poles. Poland had expanded its borders eastwards at the end of WW1 while the Russian Empire was tearing itself apart in the Revolution. Ethnic Cleansing writ large.

Could they be the ones under https://www.youtube.com/@proctorexam7814? Although maybe those are not old enough.
