With its well-known security advantages over sneakernet.
Just think, instead of fridges set to 50C, all the planes trying to be in the same bit of airspace at once...

If microplastics accumulate in one area, (a) it means there's a bit less of them elsewhere, and (b) we could conceive of a way to filter them out. Win-win.
Clearly DST is the natural order of things, and the Gaia will rise up against anyone who tries to interfere with it.
Redox OS already exists in exactly this space, albeit without the AI coding.
Just wondering how much Redox has seeped into Ginux.
No, we're not.
They present it as a tax on sending data, but of course it's a tax on receiving.
In the UK and most of Europe. the plans are to switch off over-the-air TV, so this will be a big tax on watching streaming TV.
And then there's computer maintenance (downloaded linux-firmware recently? That's over 1 GB...).
What about peer-to-peer transmission - will torrents be taxed, or outlawed as tax avoidance?
Most CIOs would rather let their software moulder away; Who needs to respond to CVE's anyway?
It's time to sell.
This is the same IMF that this week upgraded its forecast for the UK's growth - BEFORE the chancellor's forthcoming budget. Presumably they're assuming we're going to become an oil state again in the next 12 months. Just a small matter of plumbing.
AFAIR the "five a day" was about fibre, not particularly about vitamins. And the definition of a portion was "a handful", as in a handful of spinach (was that before or after cooking), or a handful of apple. On a par with walking 100,000 steps a day or drinking 8 gallons of water a day. Easy to remember, harder to justify.
You seem to be hovering over someone's crotch. Would you like to see porn?

OK, it's only a niggle, but:
"They could wait for technology to advance, abandoning hope of reading the ancient texts in their own lifetime. Or they could try to open the scrolls themselves — and risk destroying them.
In recent years, researchers have settled on a third option. Using advanced imaging and artificial intelligence, they're deciphering the scrolls without needing to unroll them at all."
Nope, "advanced imaging and artificial intelligence" is the advanced technology for which they were waiting.
Indeed, presumably neither Reservoir Dogs nor Straw Dogs
Indeed. We've had heat-seeking missiles, proximity fuses, radar-controlled guns for ages. They all seek and destroy targets without human control. This is just a more advanced version of the same.
In fact, AI-controlled weapons could be more moral, if they were able to make some informed choice of say whether a target was advancing or retreating.
It was kinda like stuffing the wrong card in a computer, when you're stickin' those artificial stimulants in your arm. -- Dion, noted computer scientist
