We used to have this back in the day.

We called it books. There was a list, actually, and everyone was expected to understand them.

To say that the "publication claims" is to say that the issue is asserted as editorial policy. That didn't happen anymore than "goto considered harmful". It's a scholarly publication that publishes scholarly articles without editorial endorsement.

"Blood on its hands": you can neither spend nor give away a billion dollars without ending a human life by commission or omission. Big numbers always mean somebody gets hurt. So anything or anyone on that scale has blood on their hands one way or the other.

Social media: it's almost exclusively antisocial media. You can dismiss the 90% of the content generated by bots because it's modeled to fit in with and pass for human generated content of the worst sort, amplifying disinformation and bitterness. So what's left? Organic content posted by narcissists that is hateful, vile, despicable and violent. In short, we suck. We are the problem.

Sigh. We don't teach history anymore.

Those Great Plains you refer to were called the Dust Bowl a century ago.

Not gonna cry for US owners of oceanfront property. Sorry not sorry. You fenced off the ocean.

Dozens of feet? What will we do without Florida? Oh, yeah. Florida swampland has been a real estate joke since the 1920's. You can't be affected unless you spent your life accelerating climate change. I'm sure it will make a nice SCUBA park.

Other countries where they park their slums on the beach I might worry about. If the land goes down and the ocean goes up it's important to teach your children how to swim.

A program language is a too tool makers produce a lot of tools bed as use there is a benefit to having the right tool for the job. Some will use a mail gun. Some will use a hammer. Some will use a rock, which Java

Everyone is looking for a franchise where you can tell the same stories, utilize the same characters, over and over again. That is why Star Wars is worth a billion and paramount is banking its future on shows like strange new worlds. If they hit it is easy money.

On the other hand, Amazon is buying rights to sports, which are so extravagant they can only be seen as loss leaders to gain subscribers. It is money down the drain.

Free speech means talking the hood with the bad. Social media is a threat to the powerful because they can no longer control the naraative. Trump and Alito have free access to the WSH to spin their tarns, but what do the rest of us have. Sure we will get stories about fake COVID remedies or how McConnell splices his DNA with tortoise DNA to stay young, but that is small price to pay when the mainstream media is pushing extraterrestrial UFO debris. This is the right decision even if it is for dubious reasons.

Many years ago a friend bought a house in a property development at a strep discount. It was one of the last houses left so they just to finish sales. The other property owners, who paid full price sued and won a discount as well.

The courts do expect seller to deliver the product

I donâ(TM)t know the number of sites I no longer visit. Twitter for one. They want too much money, or become useless, or donâ(TM)t like my comments. I know how to go away.

I know that for some, this is how they make their livelihood. But seriously, most of these, even /., are just toys. Have fun. Maybe learn a bit. Then go and have sex with someone.

Fortunately he can get the ruling changed by paying for six luxury vacation and six years of school fees.

Going to the toilet regularly is a sign of good health. What many donâ(TM)t realize is not going to the toilet regularly, and then going, can lead to death in older people.

What is key is the body is discovered in 24 hours instead of days after the cat has eaten the body.

The purpose of the network, IIRC, was to make classic movies more accessible. So more people watched it. So they could turn a profit. Restoration, up scaling, colorization, etc.

Some solutions are elegant. Like a internet tea kettle that alerts caregivers that the elderly are well enough to make their hot water for the day

Depending on the complexity of the robot and expectations it might be ok.

Given the ads on /. I though all fish in Scandinavia was made into canned fish cock.

In the US, as in much of the world, the aerospace industry is limited because it is dependent on government contracts. So Lockheed and Boeing are given free money so we have US military builder. Musk and Bezos fight over federal contracts. That we begin to build consumer based space flight is a very good thing
