What happened? Necromancy? I haven't heard of it in like 20 years.

None of that stops using the car. The problem is when a solo game becomes unavailable, due to some online feature being shut down. If the game was sold as an “online solo game”, the customer is aware of what they are getting into. Not so much if is presented a “solo game with online multiplayer mode”.

While ideally online games would become available in LAN hostable mode, the other element is ensuring that games companies aren’t misleading customers (intentionally or otherwise).

Yup, since for certain products types it might change what I select. If the store is only 20 minutes away, then hopping down to pick it up may be favourable.

They're throwing shit at us because they're bored and their AI is so inbred after several generations of consuming its ancestors' slop that it hallucinates frequently and so the asteroids miss Earth.

On issue is many stores, including Beat Buys are turning the v websites into marketplaces. You need to pay attention to the listings.

Itâ(TM)s all about finding the right balance. In the US itâ(TM)s the opposite, where they are scared of taxing the rich, to the point some have more wealth than some nations. This all while the US is bleeding money and more focused on taxing anyone, but the rich.

This could have been even funnier if, instead of French for "Viva la revolution", you used the Esperanto "Vivu la revolucio!".

Newer cars have systems that mitigate driver inattention, so the accident rates could be even lower if they were to work on reducing driver inattention (or at least not encouraging it)

I made a phone call over CarPlay while driving and found I couldn’t interact with the large phone buttons on the screen. A few days later, I used Maps for navigation and wanted to change the view to see the overall route, which involved tapping a small button on the map screen, which CarPlay allowed me to do.

CarPlay screens should not be touch screens, they should be controlled by a knob which navigates the screen like VoiceOver, highlighting each element, optionally announcing the name of the element, push the knob to tap.

Nobody. They're replacing them with universal chargers that have BOTH. And support credit-card readers, which the Tesla ones didn't. And upgrading them from the v3 400V 175kW Tesla chargers to Applegreen's 800V 350kW.

Tesla's contract ended. It was rebid. Tesla lost. Elon whines and throws a tantrum.

There was a good chance of 23andme being able to make full-genome sequencing (which they weren't yet scaled up to) a commoditized service with the privacy protections that need to be ensured for all customers. However the business model collapsed along the way.

Now we see the most predictable outcome - someone who knows they can profit from the data is buying the remains of the company (with the data).

Only in the USA is the genomic data that valuable, and there is one sector of the economy who can benefit from it more than any other. Regeneron knows which industry that is, and while they aren't a direct part of it themselves they know they need to serve it.

Regeneron bought the data to eventually sell it to the Health Insurance Cartel. The Cartel was granted effective license to print money with the passage of the ACA, but they want more power. They still own an overwhelming majority of congress - on both sides of the aisle - but they want more power. With the genomic data they can start rewriting the rules on pre-existing conditions. As all other plans go up in price they can start offering plans that are less expensive if you consent to DNA testing, which will lead to treatment for some conditions being denied.

We can't win as long as the system is set up this way. We can't change it when the people who benefit from it control the people who set the rules.

The Trump administration has been largely a copy-paste production. When they initially wanted to "replace" the ACA back during his first term, their plan was to replace the ACA with the ACA - made better by putting his signature at the end instead of the signature of President Obama. When they were finally called out on that, they quietly dropped their efforts to repeal the ACA, instead focusing on various things they can do in the name of "border security" (nevermind that no effort has been made this term for the wall that he used to talk nonstop about).

I think you just described humans. WE are the danger to this world, and provide no value to it :)

No one eats viruses but quite a lot of species depend on mosquitoes to survive, or eat the mosquito-eaters to survive.
You don't have to kill any mosquitoes, just replace them with a genetically modified version that is resistant to parasites?

Quite a lot of animals feed on insects, and then some carnivores might feed on them.
If you overfish sardines, anything bigger than a sardine may also suffer a population decline, as it is a staple food for lots of yummy fish and also marine mammals..
