Examination of North Korean missile parts after exploding in Ukraine, show that the control systems are mostly made from western components, including many that are supposedly American IP. So good luck to America stopping any hardware designed in America. At least until all chip plants and electronic subassembly gets moved out of China to some place like, North America.

Corporate XYZ country wanted software professionals of all types to be lumped into the 'unlimited overtime' bucket with emergency workers like police, firefighters, ambulance medtecks/paramedics, etc. for Y2K reasons. And no one has removed IT from that shit classification in many places even though it isn't required anymore. It isn't in all jurisdictions but in quite a few. For example, the exemption is valid in Canada in the provinces of Ontario, Alberta, BC, and Nova Scotia. Together these provinces make up around 63% of the population. Most everyone else has a legal limit on work hours.of around 48 hours tops.

Did you ever hear of The Gimli Glider? It was an Air Canada 767 that ran out of gas mid flight because someone screwed up imperial to metric conversions. Canada had recently converted to the metric system and not all industries were caught up. The pilot actually managed to glide it to an old WW2 training air strip in Gimli, Manitoba, north of Winnipeg, that had been converted into a drag strip for cars. No one died.

But we can tell that you wish you were. That's why you're going to vote for Putin's stooge, Trump. Since you don't like looking up actual facts, when Ukraine separated they held a referendum in all the country's oblasts (their states), asking if they want to stay with Ukraine or Russia. A properly monitored referendum unlike Russian ones where people are forced to side with Russia at the point of a gun. 90% of people wanted their states to be in Ukraine with the exception of 2 places, which still had a majority vote to be Ukrainian. So stop watching RT and Tucker Carlson, and get your head out of your ass. And truthfully, I do think you are a Russian troll, even if you are in America.

So are you saying they don't hash the passwords?

Should it even matter if the site uses properly salted and hashed passwords? I mean, the actual human readable password shouldn't be stored anywhere on the site. And each site will be doing the hash at a different time, on a different machine, so presumably the seeds are all different so the hash even for the same password should be different. How are they getting the actual passwords? What am I missing? Or is this something about password managers and single point of failure?

We have a hard enough time shedding the energy that is already hitting us from the sun, and they want to double down and increase the amount of energy the earth has to absorb from the sun. Just stupid.

We need to cool the earth, so what do they propose? Gathering up huge amounts of energy in space, finding a way to concentrate it, and then send it to earth to be turned into mechanical energy and more heat (that pesky nothing is 100% efficient thing). On top of the energy that is already striking the earth. SMH

Because people don't know how to moderate in large groups, and society is on an EV stampede that has a lot of momentum and by the nature mentioned by the OP they are trying to kill H2 because of loud senseless idiots who continue to slag it. It's hard to get funding to move things forward when loud, often self absorbed and/or self interested (Musk) groups keep shouting stop. And doing so they will kill the earth because EVs cannot work in most of the world due to transmission of energy. Europe is talking about mandating H2 refueling stations every 200km minimum. And companies like Toyota still believe in H2. And for transport trucks, EVs are dog shit. Half of a truck's weight will be battery, severely cutting the amount of goods they can carry. EV wankers are going to be the death of the human race.

Maybe the switch to wide screen doesn't work for all. Maybe it would be more efficient to have several side by side 4:3 monitors than one wide screen, in order to look at more documents in the least space.

It is making a statement that is actually the answer to a question that has no relevance to the current discussion, and was not even asked to begin with.

I rotate mine 180 degrees so that it is behind me.

OK troll, I'll bite (exception to the rule).

What about China? They make shit products in a country where corruption is beyond anything we can conceive. They do make some good products, but those are rare and mostly for western countries that maintain a strong watch on quality. The occasional cherry picked exceptions don't change the fact.

One area that people easily overlook unless it affects them are things like piping. In Canada (I know from experience in Toronto and Vancouver), there are condo buildings (from low rise to high rise) where the pipes are failing and causing floods, and requiring near complete replacement. I'm talking after only 10 years plus or minus a couple. And I'm talking copper and iron pipe for uses like water supply and sprinkler systems. The condo builders went with lowest price bids which turned out to be from Chinese suppliers. The pipe from China is almost universally dog shit, meeting the barest minimum needs to allow installation, but does not last. Pipe from North America for these purposes typically lasts for 30 or 40 years or longer. The Chinese alloys (too brittle, prone to wear, etc), purities, wall thicknesses, etc etc etc are all sub par. I've been in two buildings in both these cities that have had failure due to shit Chinese piping. I have known people from several reputable contracting companies who have noted the same cause, shitty Chinese pipes. And besides the buildings I lived in, I know and hear about many more of the same issues every year (in a condo heavy environment built by the same players all the time, it's not surprising). A friend of mine is currently dealing with a flood in her building from this issue right now.

And it doesn't just go for pipes, but all industrial steel products. Now I think Trump is the biggest cunt in the world aside from his buddy Putin, but the rules he was trying to bring in that would limit steel from Canada was understandable. Mainly because our current government (pro-Chinese Trudeau... he actually admitted on camera that he admired their government) we have Chinese based companies dumping inferior industrial steel product in our country, much of it being re-exported to the USA through these Canadian fronts for Chinese companies. That steel is absolute crap in quality. Remember however, steel actually made in Canadian mills is top quality, but more expensive because like in the USA, it isn't made by near slave labour wages and working conditions.

In short, the worst that Japan can do is still miles above what is normal in China. The worst thing that happened for the western economy is when Clinton signed off on most favoured trading nation status for China, on what I am sure was on behalf of his fellow Arkansas supporters, the Walton family (i.e. Walmart). Hillary was a corporate lawyer for them for a good while and also on their board of directors. In case people want to look back fondly on that turd. FYI, I live in the USA for the better part of a decade and paid a lot of tax but couldn't vote, so I do have a right to speak on what happens there since I didn't have representation.

Oh yeah, they can't afford them and don't have energy infrastructure to charge them and won't for 100 years. Thank you Tesla Musk wankers for encouraging a technology that will distract from technologies that have a chance. You know the reason Musk plays down hydrogen? Because he runs a business selling batteries, and doesn't really give two shits about the environment; he's trying to go to Mars with all the suckers money he can use to build his spaceships.

I think a lot of people are getting sick and fucking tired of shit comic book movies. And all comic book movies are shit. When they first came out they were a novelty nostalgia thing. And of course retards running Hollywood said, let's make dozens of the same thing with only costume changes and little variation. Half a dozen batmans, half a dozen spidermans, half a dozen supermans, villains, minor comic book characters, etc etc etc. There's a reason online streaming series and movies are so big and movie audiences are falling. Most movies in the theatres are comic book shit balls, and they charge through the nose for non-essential 3D or boomy thing sound, or whatever fucking idiocy they call an necessary hyped theatre configuration they make. Stop paying the actors tens of millions they don't deserve, there are thousands of actors out there who will do even better jobs and catch the public's attention. Stop the CGI and effects that cost tens of millions, a good story doesn't need it. Stop building full towns with complete buildings that no one will see the inside of just so you can burn them down 'realistically'. Reduce the production demands and staff that you don't need with all the bullshit comic stuff. Then pass the savings on to the consumers so they can pay less than ten dollars a person to get in the theatre where they won't need a mortgage to buy some popcorn and a drink. And use some of the savings to pay for real screen writers to give us stories we want to go see, and are worth watching again.

1) How is it more polluting if it is hydrolyzed using things like wind generators like planned in Newfoundland?
2) There are huge reservoirs of white hydrogen being discovered all around the world in the last few years. A massive one in Europe just recently.
3) It isn't about efficiency of storage, it's about distribution; but most of EV ostriches don't want to hear that.

We have existing models and distribution networks to move hydrogen. But 80% of the world can't even reliably distribute electricity reliably and continually for existing needs. But then again, the EV religion is all about the privileged class who are the only ones who can really afford battery cars right now. They don't care or even think about what others outside their social class think or can afford, never mind poorer countries who won't be able to build out the kind of power grids needed for battery vehicles. And they certainly don't think about transport of goods, or should I say the lack of transport. Due to trucks that will require half their rated weight load going to batteries to handle the kind of torque they require. That means more trucks to make up for the lost volume. Again, why think ahead when in their happy lives they only ever had to think about the happy path. No hard thinking about places that can't support their ridiculous world views.
