If a bad actor already has access allowing them to create a new email address which doesn't belong to them, what's to stop them from setting up the new second factor using their own authenticator app as well? Seems like all this does is save the bad actor some time, since now they don't have to compromise a target's SIM first.

From the standpoint of wanting something reasonably factual, I am pretty sure it would be dumb to rely on any AI that's using Tweets as the main part of its training data set.

It will depend on the size of the patty and the size/type of the bun, of course, but the calories in the patty might be closer to the bread than you think. A brioche bun, for example, can run about 200 calories. A quarter pound of hamburger is around 240 calories. Depending on the toppings, you might be adding more fat and/or sugar calories to the mix - cheese and mayo will mainly be fat calories, bbq sauce will be sugar.

Also, the "food pyramid" went out of favor about two decades ago - nowadays they talk about MyPlate. There's a lot more emphasis on fruits and vegetables now.

I'd want some sort of lockable door / hatch, at a minimum.

I disagree. I expect the military will use any per-unit savings to build more unmanned fighters. They're not gonna let the defense budget go down for any reason whatsoever.

So the defense contractors will be just fine.

Tests like this exist to find serious problems and flaws before we have incidents that cost lives, I understand that. But it certainly seems to me that we have reached an era where things are simply not engineered like they used to be anymore. I've been up close with an Apollo capsule that survived re-entry (KSC has one on display) and if we could do that 55+ years ago, why are we having trouble with it now? I don't understand why there's a difficulty simply doing something as well as we've already established could be done. Is it budgetary constraints? Lack of engineers as talented as we used to have?

We seem constantly amazed that old things last. Voyager 2 was built to last for five years, and it's operating today, 47 years later. Refrigerators from the 1940s still work astonishingly well to this day (if a bit inefficient compared to later models). I drive a 40 year old car with a diesel engine that gets 28MPG and still runs fine with 350,000 miles. Sure, "they don't make 'em like they used to" is a trope, but why does it seem to have so much truth to it?

Overall, I like the assist features on my wife's 2019 Subaru Outback. The lane assist can be handy, and the smart cruise control is great. However I've had three different occasions where it suddenly warned me a collision was imminent. In one case it was because a leafy branch was hanging a bit too low in front of the car - that I understand (and I was going really slow anyway). But the other two instances are mysteries... there was nothing there, but it suddenly told me I needed to brake to avoid a collision.

Fortunately on this Subaru you can choose whether to enable the automatic responses, such as auto-braking or lane correction. But I'm guessing that won't be an option on the 2029 cars.

At least for now, on servers I've gone with AlmaLinux - which admittedly was the lower-work option for our formerly-CentOS servers anyway. I do like the steps they've taken to this point, and they're saying the right things at least.

In my mind, though, the one big unanswered question is just how far out of its way IBM intends to go to make Alma's and Rocky's existence untenable.

I like Mint too - but AFAIK there's no server variant. So if you want to live in that general universe, your choices are either to fiddle with a bunch of different settings (especially some of the aggressive energy-saving ones) post-install, or just go with Ubuntu Server.

In the end I don't think Canonical is any better than IBM / Red Hat... I just think they don't have the footprint to be quite as blatant about their anti-user moves. Yet.

Well, I think we've identified part of the problem right there.

Well, I can see at least three non-exclusive paths forward:

- Your BIL says "don't let the door hit you on your way out" (probably what is happening now)
- Your BIL says "here's how much I'd typically make from farming that parcel. Either add that as an annual payment on top of the contract you're offering, or don't let the door hit you on your way out."
- The energy companies will figure out how to compromise once they run out of places to put new turbines, and dual-use becomes the norm.

I don't think this is a red state versus blue state issue - it's simply speaking to how planners have typically incorporated the land into their plans. I expect the planners have not spent much time in farm country. Or it may just stem from the fact that traditional electricity generation facilities typically does completely tie up the land where it is placed (think hydro dams, coal / nuclear / gas plants).

Washington is a blue state with a lot of farming (although the farming areas are certainly "red"). Whenever I drive through the areas with wind turbines, I see lots of cows grazing underneath - except where the undergrowth just scrub. And when I've attended talks about wind farming (I'm in a STEM department at a university), the ability to also use the land for other things is frequently mentioned as a strong selling point.

Heck, just open the Watch enough to let it work with an iPad...

Siri says "Hi - here's what I found on the web about "Vera Polish".

See, here's the thing - as weird as this may sound (about Trump), I don't think DeSantis has Trump's oratorical ability or people skills. He's basically a follower, not a leader.
