A) We don't want teens getting pregnant as a general rule.
B) We don't want adults to be socially inept.
Smartphones are not an amusing solution to A when they develop into a problem with B. Beyond that, the kids aren't as happy as they used to be either.
So teen fertility rates are perhaps a useful proxy for socialization at the moment, but we need to work to divorce the two things so that "happy, social teens" aren't "at risk of pregnancy teens".
And while I am still working on OpenWater and Alignable, the only thing I've gotten from LinkedIn in the past year is rewrite-your-resume scams
OSX is based on FreeBSD. They did not do a reimplementation, they just added the easy parts. And basing things on FreeBSD is also the thing that allows Apple to switch CPU architecture. Because they get that almost for free. And that is why they could do it so fast. Sure, theoretically MS could do the same, but they are not organizationally capable of even thinking that they may have screwed up enough to make that step the only way out.
Also refer to countless large-scale software projects that have failed or are in a bad state but cannot be fixed.
Why are you arguing? Your post just proved my whole point. Also it's not based on FreeBSD, it utilized the FreeBSD user space while doing their own kernel, Darwin. You keep stating "can't be fixed" as if it's some fact, while simultaneously acknowledging others have, in fact, fixed these issues in the past. Let it go.
I disagree. Apple went from OS9 to OSX, a completely new codebase by creating new frameworks for devs and a translation layer for old apps (Remember Cocoa, Rosetta, Carbon?). They then phased the old out while providing documentation and tools for devs to move. It's perfectly doable with very clear cases of it being done. Microsoft simply refuses to do it.
Apple's even done this while switching from PPC to Intel and then to ARM. There is no technological barrier here, it's all organizational and cultural at MS.
It can be fixed, they just won't do it. Microsoft has fought internally over various technologies for decades, between win32 and
Everyone else sheds the old stuff, even Linux drops code from time to time. Microsoft does this to themselves.
What happens when the system hallucinates my card number?
A steam gift card can be laundered entirely within the steam economy tho, a dunkin gift card doesnt let you buy and resell special donut skins.
Might help if you read my entire comment in good faith instead of just scanning for something to shout 'gotcha!' about for imaginary Internet points, but here we are.
First, GPS signals are relatively weak. Second, they come from 'up' - if you really want to avoid terrestrial jamming, then a bit of shielding that only exposes your receiver to the sky will help a lot.
The solution for creating interference is relaying legitimate signals from space, if you can't crack the encryption. By messing with timing carefully, you can severely degrade the position accuracy or cause it to drift to where you want it.
I find it interesting that GPS, Galileo and BeiDou share 2/3 of their base frequencies, but GLONASS doesn't - its overlap is additional frequencies. I'm not a comms guy, but I do wonder if that means Russia can interfere with GPS, Galileo and BeiDou simultaneously without affecting their own gear significantly.
It means less and less when it comes to military use though, since the military expects jamming and spoofing and has multiple methods of position fixing of various degrees of accuracy.
When I was implementing ALPR almost 2 decades ago, the projects were funded by insurance companies as long as the ALPR scans were linked to a database of expired insurance.
The cops couldn't keep up with the hits the system generated.
While I am not happy with the inevitable authoritarian creep of the system, I'm fine with my role in what happened to every uninsured driver who was pulled over.
Good came out of them... just not net good.
We should be cautious about germline genetic engineering, mostly because of the potential for causing harm to the individual, but also a broader fear of creating a larger divide between the haves and have-nots.
The idea that such caution should result in an absolute ban on such things is due to fear, and it's stupid and those fears should be discounted. If they aren't, the fears will result in what they are trying to prevent as the work continues in private.
If I were planning on having a child, and I had the money, nothing would stop me from having my offspring's DNA tailored as far as known genetics would allow to optimize their heath.

Stargate SG1 had a great setup for cheap production of an episodic planet-of-the-week show but that's hardly unique.
The Stargate isn't what made the show special, it was the self-aware humour and the charismatic cast. And the original cast is too damn old now, so you'd be rolling the dice with a remake.
In my opinion, it's better to build a new setting than try to reinvent the old one. At least that way you don't have baggage to worry about.
It's intellectual laziness. Our rulers are just people, after all.
The goal should have been self-sufficiency on critical infrastructure and food supply, then let non-critical trade build relationships and trust over time.
That and a global NATO-like club with a rule like "everyone is obligated to take action against a member who attacks another member" for military security.
It's still not perfect, because people lie, but there's nothing you can do about that.
The alerts are so much worse too like "Hey, looks like you slept like shit, should probably take it easy today." thanks google but not really up to either of us. Already knew that and fitbit was a lot gentler about it...
With all the fancy scientists in the world, why can't they just once build a nuclear balm?
