I see you haven't bothered to type a single search criteria and then vet the sources, which tells me you don't care about investigating the topic, you just care about being right.

That's fine, but I don't think this discussion can go anywhere if your sole point is going to be "I don't know, therefore it can't be, and I don't want to know".

What user would trust a crypto where they couldn't read the blockchain?

The "Trust me, bro" coin?

Dead on. The stuff that's the same is the party leaderships trying to keep us in line, to trust them wit the reins of power, finance their campaigns, vote for the incumbents or the approved candidates, and let them do what they want.

In the US, the two major parties are indistinguishable in intent, that is, to keep their jobs. Challengers are either vetted by the leaderships, and so are not really challengers but replacements, or they are hammered into submission, to serve the Uniparty.

For one party this is absolutely the goal and ambition of their rank and file, to see their 'leadership' prevail. For the other party, this is actually anathema, but the rank and file is not yet entirely aware of the process.

We will see which succeeds...

...me!

I can do that. $%**, I've deleted /, /root, /boot, that's easy.

Seriously, though, when the AI recognizes it is about to operate on a root folder, it should be directed to confirm this twice with the user. These AI coding agents will become useful, to me, when they help a user avoid errors.

That is exactly what pricing I outline above already has been doing for a while.

Welcome to the future shitholistani peasant. I'm sure it will arrive to where ever it is you reside eventually, as most such things do over time.

Google "UK is a developing country attached to London".

In fact, let me give you the crown jewel of UK's propaganda apparatus, the people with extreme interest in claiming that UK is great being "nobody considering UK a "developing country"".

If you perform the search I listed above, you'll find countless others.

As you appear utterly ignorant of what UK is and how its systems work, I probably should also inform you that City of London is not the same thing as London.

This year in late october and early november a lot of popular youtube techie channels did a bunch of "gaming on Linux" themed reviews and opinion pieces.

They generally focused on Linux on desktop, and there was a lot of pushing of Bazzite, which is a distro with a very windows-like UI and that is generally configured to have best possible compatibility with steam for gaming purposes.

Marketing works.

At work I could've bought a fiber Ethernet tester, a copper Ethernet tester, and a Wifi tester. I would've spent around $8000 for all three for the degree of testing I was buying.

Instead I bought a $12,000 tool that can test fiber, copper, and wifi. Because carrying around three tools and using three tools if up troubleshooting a streetlight-mounted terragraph backhaul device or AP is really cumbersome.

It's cumbersome to have to carry multiple devices if one device can do the job. I can think of lots of applications where this would be useful if it's durable enough, and they all boil-down to neither having to carry multiple devices nor having to carry a large, rigid tablet.

I'm still flabbergasted of the claim that the original pad that Gagarin launched from is supposedly being set aside as a museum. That simply doesn't make economic sense. First reason, pads are not free to build. They're quite expensive. Second, the facility is not in Russia, so its utility as a museum for Russian propaganda purposes is questionable.

It would make a lot more sense if they simply chose to do upkeep on only one pad, and for whatever reasoning they chose the pad with the now-broken equipment, and the the other pad at the site is so hopelessly out of date due to a series of refreshes to the in-service pad that the costs to refurbish it into usable condition are quite high. That at least would be logical, and frankly isn't a sign of decay in a program either. It makes sense to not spend money on something disused when budgets are finite. But to claim that it's reserved as a museum? Bizarre, to say the least.

Usually they'd book a flight to the nearest coastal city.

Honestly the reason to use such a service in lieu of owning a car is a combination of the day-to-day lack of need to own a car based on how one lives and wants to live, not having a safe, reliable place to store a car when not using it, and the general expenses of owning a car over the term.

In the country or the suburbs, one's day-to-day life might well require using a car if one is going to be able to really go anywhere, at least in a reasonable amount of time. Likewise one might well have plenty of space in which to park said car. And even if one's life may not require it, the time saved driving versus walking or biking (particularly in inclement weather) might simply make the convenience of a personal car a lot more important. It's not pleasant if going to do a fifteen minute task takes an hour when driving there and back would make it take a total of twenty minutes.

I'd actually expect in some ways that it could be easier in the countryside, if one's village is walkable in ten minutes, and if the mass-transit to leave one's village takes one to useful places quickly. If the village is too spread out to be easily walked or if the mass-transit takes too long to travel to other places one might need to regularly go, it would be difficult to not use private transport if one doesn't want to be essentially homebound. If the village is small enough then it might not be worth the company's time to place a rental in town if it simply won't be used enough.

Again, this is a very specific, unique field, and you're trying to generalize it over the rest.

This case is about City of London financial analysts. They're a very unique position in the world. About the only other place in the world that is comparable is New York's financial analysts, and those have even higher starting salaries because NYC is even more expensive than City, while actually having less intense work schedule.

In large part because NYC is not quite the global financial hub that City is in terms of complex international analysis needs even after all the problems UK managed to create for the City in the last decade. Also if you ever wonder why UK is still considered a developing country, it's because it's attached to the City. That small place in the middle of London alone is generating so much revenue with its financial activities, that it's basically carrying the rest of UK which is actually somewhere between developed and middle income country after you cut City out of GDP calculations.

You can google the work required of junior analysts and bankers in the City. There should be quite a few stories still around from that one widely publicized case, though they were a bit dramatic and mostly seemed to focus on "women can't handle this tempo at all, and so this is almost fully a male field. This is misogyny and we need to give women more of these high paying jobs without the intensity of work".

You can't have privacy as long as governments depend on taxes for their finances.

This is a guess but it's based on how people were when I was in college. The market for these would be people who occasionally need a car for something where they cannot borrow one or where they cannot get a friend to provide a lift.

For a short-duration trip where this service makes sense, that's probably going to be a chore or an appointment. The chore could be shopping where hand-carrying isn't practical and where the shopping needs to be done in-person and delivery isn't practical or available. For appointments, I could see needing to visit doctors or the like where they may not be convenient to mass transit, or where post-visit there may be other chores like picking up prescriptions or going to have bloodwork done would mean an inordinate amount of time on mass-transit.

The issue isn't just crew launches, it's all the supply-launches. The 'progress' cargo craft make regular runs from this pad.
