Using the waste heat makes much more sense in a new development, as the properties would be designed to make use of the waste heat rather than having to retrofit it later alongside a conventional heating system.
You would assume that the server farm would have its own connectivity, and having installed it they could use the same physical lines to provide service to the residents, so long as it's optional and you're not forced to use this specific provider (their service could be terrible).

A lot of school systems are set up to memorise answers to exam questions, rather than actually understand the topic.
So the homework doesn't need supervision of a teacher because the kid doesn't need to understand the content, he just has to keep reading it until he remembers it.

Ideally you should be taught the topic properly, and the teacher is around to make sure that you actually do understand and aren't just repeating memorised answers.

Noone needs homework.
If you're having to do work at home after school, then it means the teacher hasn't done their job of teaching the stuff in class.

What you're seeing is when the classroom is a poor place for learning, due to disruption from other kids such as bullying, or a class which moves at the pace of the slowest kid. All of these are faults of the school and teachers, not something to pass on to the kid.

I have it running on a 1GB vm where the total memory usage right now is 450mb, so that leaves quite a lot free.
You can self host on a pi, even the cheapest model has 1GB ram these days and it's not hugely more expensive to buy the larger models.

The giant clusterfuck of email delivery is a separate issue, although if someone has explicitly triggered a signup email they will be expecting it and will usually check for it having been flagged as spam. You don't actually *need* to use email delivery, there are several other options.

Very few ISPs intentionally block inbound TCP. What you're seeing is a side effect of IPv4 depletion where ISPs are forced to implement CGNAT.

A lot of people have to self host on IPv6-only for this reason, but then the site is inaccessible to users stuck on legacy networks, and worse is that no current browser provides a descriptive error message when that happens.

Many people don't have the knowledge to configure and manage such a thing - yes even developers. System management is a different skillset and there isn't always crossover, and if you do it badly you could end up leaving security holes.

Many people have nowhere to host such a thing. A lot of ISPs are implementing CGNAT, and IPv6 is not yet everywhere so peoples options for self hosting are often limited.

They have historical precedence. There was another group that were ideologically opposed to the existence of jews, and while not totally destroyed they were eliminated as a unified force, leaving only a few far less threatening stragglers.

Hezbollah, Hamas and Iran would absolutely destroy Israel if they could. They have vowed to do so continuously, and have never stopped plotting or executing attacks.
You may disagree with Netenyahu's methods, but it's very much in the interest of Israel to eliminate enemies who have vowed to destroy them. Not doing so really isn't an option, they will simply keep attacking and growing stronger until their attacks fully succeed and Israel ceases to exist.

You don't need a laptop, a minipc would suffice which can be plugged in at either location, or even just a thunderbolt SSD with your data that could be attached to a desktop located at the two locations.
The purpose of a laptop with battery and screen is so you can use it when you're *not* at home or in the office.

And under every previous administration you could be shot on the street because some punk [agent/cop/random] doesn't like you, and it's always been difficult to pursue cops or any form of federal agent for unlawful shooting.

And in most countries of the world you can be detained and deported because you can't prove a legal right to be there. The stricter the enforcement (and the less desirable the country for illegal migration) the less cases you have. But if you switch from soft to strict enforcement you're going to have a huge initial backlog to deal with, which is where the USA is right now.

Assuming you were trying to *kill* those 10 individuals to disrupt ongoing research, no it wouldn't make any significant difference.
But who's to say the missing individuals weren't kidnapped and taken somewhere? china? russia? iran?
Who's to say a foreign agent wasn't trying to recruit or kidnap individuals, and the dead ones represent failed attempts where they had to kill them to cover up their failed attempts?

One dead scientist doesn't make a huge amount of difference to the overall program, but one captured/defected scientist could spill a lot of secrets and significantly advance an enemy program.

This would be genuinely useful for iOS.
Currently you can back up either to icloud or to a macos device, but this requires your mac to be reachable on the network while the phone is charging, and it backs up to the expensive internal storage of the mac (which can then in turn back up to time machine). Backing up a 1TB iphone and a 1TB ipad very quickly fills your macbook storage, but wouldn't make a dent in a cheap HDD.

Being able to push backups to a strongly authenticated (eg mtls) server would be great. The images themselves are encrypted over the top so you have an added layer of protection should the server or storage protocol be compromised.

Time machine is almost there, but it uses SMB which is blocked by most ISPs, a lot of people would not be comfortable exposing SMB publicly and it's very slow over a high latency link. Something like webdav with mtls would be better. I can theoretically perform time machine backups from across the world if i connect a VPN to get around blocking of the SMB port, but it's too slow to be usable.

Even 90 years ago attacking from the air formed a key part of the strategy. Today even more so.
You can see the battlefields of Ukraine where soldiers on legs are gradually being replaced with flying and wheeled/tracked robots.

The sort of ground defences that impede tracked/wheeled vehicles are easily able to impede bipedal attackers too. But machines which are able to fly above the battlefield are immune to these kind of defences.

Indeed, arbitrarily constraining a robot to animal-like motion defeats many of the advantages of a robot. In most cases it's simply more efficient to use wheels or fly, which machines have long been capable of. It's only in a very few niche cases that walking on legs makes sense.

Machines have been faster for a LONG time when they're not arbitrarily constrained by being forced to emulate animal motion.
Machines which fly or run on wheels are far more efficient at traversing fixed distances at speed, and have long existed.
