If this was a security service job, then this means they've extracted all the value they could from discovering his identity.

It doesn't mean they took four years to find him, but it might mean in those four years they've traced and identified an entire network of Russian intelligence operations.

The noble savage myth is bullshit. They warred, they destroyed habitats and moved on... They simply lacked the technology (and this population) to do it on the kind of scales we do it today.

Stories that were told in comics can be good and work.

Comic book stories - those low quality ones that fans will buy because they are fans - don't work beyond that limited audience. "Hey, let's throw these comic cliches together and forget actual writing" isn't good enough.

Now get a director who doesn't understand what works in the genre and give him a committee-vetted script base on one of those comic book stories, and you're going to get feces.

Ok. So if Sweden uses their excess green power for sequestration instead of export... The export market will use power from other sources instead, releasing more CO2 than Sweden sequesters.

Only if there was no export option would it make sense (on a local scale). You can't beat thermodynamics...

The Rabbit R1 sounds an awful lot like they built a cheap mobile phone locked down to a single app and tried to sell it as a magic box.

If it sounds scammy, it's probably a scam.

We burn things to release heat. From this we generate power and release carbon.

To sequester carbon, you need to reverse this process. This means it takes energy to do it.

Neither process is 100% efficient.

Unless you have an excess of 'green' energy, sequestration will necessarily cause a net release of carbon. It isn't just pointless, it is actually counterproductive.

If you can already set up a rogue DHCP server on my network that can hand out an address to a VPN client before my own, my network is already lost.

Perfectionism is far worse than 'good enough'. You define your project requirements and 'good enough' is meeting them. Perfectionism is endlessly going beyond scope and never delivering.

> all the R1 launcher does is act as a local client to the cloud services offered by Rabbit, which is what truly handles the core functionality

So it's another little telemetry / spy app and little more than an open connection to the vendor's servers. Great. I'd hardly even call that an 'app'.

The blind just got a lot more accessible as an audience. That's good for them and for authors.

Shine on, you crazy cultist!

An interesting but inefficient solution that is worse that the problem it claims to be trying to solve. Just as you can't beat thermodynamics, crypto will never compete with credit cards.

Now. If you want to launder money or gamble on digital beanie babies, or defraud the gamblers, those are your genuine use cases.

Given the complete lack of documentation by the Romans and the fact that the only historical accounts come long after his reported death... I tend to believe it's because Jesus was probably a completely unremarkable street preacher during his lifetime and it was the apostles creating works of fiction drawn from existing regional myths to build their religious cred who wrote what little exists.

Nobody bothered to write about him during his lifetime any more than you're documenting the life of the nearest guy on a street corner ranting about the government.

>And the only people using the terms "woke" and "politically correct" are right wingnuts.

Hey now. I'm slightly left of centre by Canadian standards, which makes me a filthy commie by American standards... and I will occasionally deploy those terms to describe the far-left crazies who have lost touch with reality.

The right wingers use them much more broadly as an epithet against anyone who isn't in lock-step with them, of course.

It's part of the cult / tribal membership. Whatever the tribe believes is true, any challenge of it is obviously an attempt to oppress the truth, and just in case there's a cultist self-aware enough to break out of that, you throw in 'and our enemies are doing it too, and they are worse'.
