They are breeding coral that is more tolerant of higher temperatures.

Did you read the article to the end? These number are not verified.

Smashing the US' formerly world-leading biomedical research industry sure has improved our freedumbs! Sorry about that knock-on effect on the economy.

[Narrator: RJK Jr and Melon Husk were not in fact sorry]

Support for Windows 8.1 ended in January 2023. Not all that long ago.

My Linux distro is probably as old as that.

It's easier to control people when they are in a constant state of "crises."

That way we have money that is actually worth something and would reflect that nation's actual wealth.

The S&P ETF SPY is about $645 right now. So that would be one share. Then have deci, centi, and milli, and micro shares. Just use decimals.

For example a car might cost 45.145 shares. Shoes might cost about a deci-share or 0.12 shares.

The value of money would be set by the market, instead of cabal of investment bankers. We have deflation, instead of inflation.

I think all this systemd crap came from IBM. I think IBM has been effectively controlling Linux long before IBM bought Red Hat.
Linux is really just IBM controlled systemd now.

Does anybody still run a BBS that connects to dial-up?

"That's not justice, that's basically a kill switch for the entire industry."

Stealing, e.g., book authors' work, mashing it up using an "LLM" algorithm, and selling it in a deliberate attempt to undercut the original, content-creating authors would seem like a 'kill switch' for human creativity and livelihoods, no? Ursula K. LeGuin was 101% right when she fought Google and the what was supposed to be her own advocate, the SFWA, on this 20 years ago and everything she predicted about the destruction of authors is coming to pass.

What we might call the "Financialization Generation", which held the reins from ~1975 to at least 2021, deliberately and knowingly destroyed the conditions under which the great majority of people could experience anything known as 'career success' [1]. That they are now paying researchers to bemoan that those so undermined lack "Conscientiousness" about their work environment is a bit rich.

[1] yes, we all know some successful entrepreneurs, the guy with 17 money-earning patents, and the super-hustlers who are on track to retire at 35 by dint of working seven jobs 120 hours/week. Those are far distant outliers to the mean

Yeah, because everything was fine before Trump took office.
FYI: this crap has been going on for, at least, 20 years.

Yes, and physical newspapers are better at swatting flies and lining bird cages. But why be pedantic?

It's just a better medium. It's cheaper and faster.

Newer, better technologies take over older technologies. Cell phones took over landlines. Cars took over horses and buggies.

I think that fairly well sums it up.

Unless your hands-on work is totally repetitive, like assembly line worker, warehouse work, or some agricultural workers, your job is probably safe. If you do hands-on work in construction, police, hospital, military; your job is probably safe.

If you work at a computer terminal, or some kind of paperwork; your job may not so safe.

I thought they were eliminated 50 years ago.
