Many parts of the world take some time and effort to grok. Analogue clocks, fortunately, are not that. A 5-minute explanation and then some getting used to it are as much depth as people need to reach full fluency.

I'd save my worries for the people who haven't learned to read, or something else that takes some sustained effort.

I use Firefox and Thunderbird. They're nice. I'm not interested in AI, and I don't get why the org would bet the farm on it. I get that it's hard to keep Mozilla funded, and they may need to get creative somehow, but this isn't the way.

Anyone know if it needs batteries while plugged into USB-C?

Just like all the other misguided stuff from this admin, hopefully the next sensible admin will undo all this and potentially push all financial institutions to disconnect from cryptocurrencies.

The energy cost needed to lift people into space is enormous. A lot of this is basic physics, and it's going to be difficult to get around both the resource spend and pollution in that.

(People probably fly too much, and even now somewhere around 20% of humans has ever been in a plane)

A) There's more radiation in space
B) Getting people to space puts their bodies under a lot of stress, and has its own risks
C) Most environments in space are not that clean/healthy even apart from the radiation
D) The costs involved make all this impractical for all but the very richest of people

The most common reasons people use public-commercial VPNs are not actually good reasons - the main valid reason is to get access to content limited to other countries.

May as well hire a novelist to study the person and write a script for a response. Stop chasing GenML stories so hard.

NIH-funded work is not the same thing as work done by NIH employees.
