Our voting system does not know the difference. It explicitly states: silence == consent. Yes, for a human, there is a difference. For a ballot, there is none.

It does not only seem so, it's right there in the description.

Nice, the Zenmuse L3 is $18k, the DJI Matrice 400 drone to carry it $11k. So it won't be long before surveyors and the like will be selling its services.

"It'd be great to know who and why still ends up committing or pushing secrets in containers" WHO? IMVHO  *.ai agentic coders used by  wannaB C-Suites who believe pointers are hand-held blue light.

Rats, as an architect I was hoping it might be useful to the general construction industry, but not at 3m accuracy.

With not voting, you are forfeiting your right to influence the outcome. Therefore, whatever the outcome, you blindly have agreed to it. You can try to be rabulistic about it, but there is no difference in the outcome if you are not voting because you were lazy, indifferent or enthusiastic about it. All three non-votes count exactly the same: zero.

How do you prove a negative? If you have no Instagram account, how do you prove it? By not knowing your Instagram password?

How does it work then with people posting stuff in the name of organizations?

That's the "foreign agent" argument of every dictatorial regime right now.

In my book, everyone absent from voting is voting for whatever the outcome.

Maybe it's about salaries: the golden boys are being paid much more than their perhaps equally-qualified colleagues?

"We need a Modern Home Economics class." Brilliant, actually just brilliant. But, first you have to teach alienated students ..... what's a HOME !

The funny bit is that the climate models contained in the 1990 IPPC report have been spot on (after 35 years, we are right in the middle of their prediction range), and all subsequent climate models were underestimating the effects. Apparently exactly those politicians you accuse of hysteria for personal gain were in fact pressuring climate scientist to modify their models and give less hysterical predictions - and they have been wrong, because they systematically underestimated the change.

But that's no wonder. While the amount of money spend on climate science is about 5 billion dollar a year, just the amount of subsidies given to oil, gas and coal is about 500 billion dollars a year, and no industry wants to lose half a trillion.

WOT!  The Onion ... like the Guardian ... is not an objective news service. Both are propaganda outlets. Both pimp the DEI/Stalinist line and both deserve to be neekapped ... metaphorically ...

BTW//  You wouldn't like it much for this to be the 2nd coldest year in recorded history. Colder than the micro-ice-age in the 19-th Century. You want NYC harbor frozen? Human pollution of various orders has saved us from that. 

In conclusion, no one is even developing a machine which would make identifying the RNA sequences encoding cancer antigens tractable.

Meanwhile many labs can implement the protocols for tumor tissue based vaccines at negligible cost, that's the low hanging fruit for cancer vaccines. RNA approaches are decades out, identifying antigens from DNA alone sci-fi at the moment.
