In the US at least, showing that you accrue temporary debt and pay it off improves your credit score.

Classical bits can store only one number at a time. They probably mean that that many qbits can store the amount of information in the universe simultaneously due to superposition.

I assume you mean buying groceries using credit cards and not paying off the balance in full thus paying interest. Personally, I buy everything including groceries using a credit card (via Apple Pay) and always pay off the balance in full. It's easier than dealing with cash and coins.

Not for me. It takes probably three times as long as with a pen on paper, but I make the effort in the rare case I personally need to verify that a signature is mine.

Whichever way you spin it, it's a scam. Perhaps fraud even, though I don't know about the legalities around setting up these kinds of funds.

"It includes customer names, driver's license numbers, and social security numbers"
I'm wondering why they collected this data in the first place. Well, name and address, sure. But the rest? Maybe it is needed for car insurance and auto loans, but aren't those usually handled by partners?

BTW most (maybe all) countries in the EU have SSNs, even if they are called something else. (Here it's a "citizen service number"). But you generally don't give that to companies..

I don’t get the obsession with flying cars anyway. There’s a Dutch company working on one, that is road legal and should soon receive its airworthiness certificate. Sounds great. Until you see the price tag and realise that this thing is a crappy car and a meh airplane, and costs more than a nice car and better airplane.

All it takes to crash is for enough people to get nervous. Didn't Warren Buffett sell his stock a little while back? Couple more whales cashing out, combined with the increasing number of stories about AI being vastly overvalued, and peope will begin selling.

And it should be absolutely fine to reproduce the lyrics verbatim and in full. Copyright as gotten completely out of hand.

Countries trying to lure in top academics don't just offer money, but also facilities, research grants and such. Compensation is only part of the picture, and scientists might want to choose the country were they are going to get the most science done, not necessarily the one that pays best.

Hard falls aren't specific to women, of course. Plenty of men start out in engineering, they encounter calculus, discover that engineering is hard, and switch to something else less taxing.

You were comparing manned missions to automated missions. The only practical result of either is science; it will be a long while before we'll see something practical being done in space. Manned mission are more expensive but they can yield way more science as well. I think we ought to at least try and get something of a moonbase established. That is attainable, and will give us a much better idea of what we can expect should we want to venture further out in a manned mission. That experience in itself is worth attaining.
If you want practical, however, space exploration has little to offer anymore, except some spinoff tech perhaps.

There is a huge difference between having a little robotic rover trundle over the Lunar service, and having some scientists present, with a lab. Though I imagine a lot of that research will mostly be useful for further human exploration of them Moon or space, so it might seem a little self-serving. But it may well drive down the cost of human space exploration.

No violence to sea creatures is to be expected. Well, except maybe the tasty ones. We'll have to find out which those are... SCIENCE!

Professional, or soulless corporate?
