I eagerly await the follow up articles on the whereabouts of DB Cooper and the identity of Jack the Ripper.

Despite very credible allegations, Biden was never convicted of raping raping Tara Reade. And his daughter's recollections of him inappropriately showering with her outlasted any statute of limitations. But I see where you're going, there. The rest is a good fit, right down to the weaponized government, for sure. The plot twist is that the real kingpins are behind the scenes, using him as a puppet. It's good villain story line material fresh from real life.

Some times you just want to be entertained, especially when the world seems like it's getting shittier.

I don't need another superhero movie where it spends most of its time trying to depress me. It's OK to go 'full comic', drop the grimdark, and just have fun.

And because where income is high, cost of living is high, and the marginal cost of children goes from "investment in the future" to "big hole I sink money into".

Why not LET IT DO THAT?

Tell everyone no garbage bags, just bins, and let AI-driven robots sort everything at the dump.

There's always Debian.

I feel like there's a huge blindspot in the comments here. The prototype launch was instantly more capable than any other headset. even if not every feature is going to make the ultimate cut. Of course the thing to do is to double-down and keep iterating on it. We're looking at what will heavily influence the way humans interact with technology in the future. We should be cheering this on. Whether it turns out to be a descendant of this product or something that is inspired by / influenced by it, this is just the beginning, early stages. Believe.

And for the cost? It's less than the cost of a top-notch GPU, well built gaming system right now, which the users of this headset might similarly consider a 'toy' from their perspective. Different strokes for different folks.

Just like the subject says, supersymmetry, an elegant solution to a number of problems, in particular the best theoretical extension to the Standard Model, slides closer to oblivion with each large scale and small scale (accelerator) experiment meant to find these large supersymmetrical particles.

I'd like to see stats based on 100% of able-bodied, not-on-mat/pat leave, working-age, non-incarcerated people wanting to work, and then measuring the percentage of a standard work week per capita.

Total hours being worked divided by total available labour-hours.

You think the Republicans, who now control everything including the Supreme Court, who can apparently run masked thugs around the country abducting people, denying them due process, and send them to concentration camps, will limit themselves to gerrymandering and a bit of light voter intimidation and maybe another seditious assault on the government if they lose?

The US is in for some highly corrupt elections, and anybody who complains about it is in for a world of hurt unless they're rich, white, and connected.

Their population absolutely dwarfs Canada and the US as well, so that isn't much good, is it?

BTW, remember the secret of Ti Kwon Leap- Anger is a weapon only to one's opponent.

I still think we need, given the microamps involved, a hamster powered cell phone charger.

Yes it is. Radioactive materials are made in the planet's core, and float up in the magma. Radon Gas is a normal and natural resource from decaying uranium.

It's as renewable as sunlight and wind.

Difficult is not equal to impossible. Heat can be used to boil working fluids, which can be used to drive turbines, which can create energy, which can in turn be used to run AI chips, which give off heat, which can then also be harvested to boil working fluids...Not really a perpetual motion machine, but the inefficiency in the system can be used to suck more heat out of the heat pumps anyway. Inefficiency in this case is a feature.

My answer to environmentalists claiming this is "You first". Stop being hypocrites, eliminate your own fossil fuel usage- including wasting fossil fuels storing articles like this in data centers.
