We got air and water drones, and all have a fire-based payload -- it makes sense to build a drone that travels through earth. Let's hope the country usurping stolen name "Russia" becomes a big fat void.

The best part of the early internet was that if you had something interesting to say, you had to make the effort to learn HTML and self-host. That generally acted as a very good threshold for high quality content.

Sure there are alternative energy like solar, wind, and a few others for local source (geothermal, and river dams). But the main one solar and wind are not considered base load. Until battery tech is better and/or widespread, nuclear is pretty much the only non fossil base load energy generation.

If employees of a company disagree with how the company is managing itself, disagree with how the company solicits its customers, they have several options. One time-honored possibility is to form a union. Another is to get yourself into a position of influence, such as an important position or even get yourself elected to the Board of Trustees. They may vary in level of difficulty, but they are possible. Another way is to quit in protest. There is no reason for an employee to continue working for a company that violates their moral perogatives.

For God's sakes, let them quit! Never discourage them. Don't stand in their way. Accept their resignation. Feign your disappointment. Make it easy. Open the door for them. Thank them for their service. Sever your ties with them as quickly and completely as possible. Take their keys. Erase their access. Do whatever you need to do to erase them from your systems forever. Then breathe a sigh of relief that they are gone.

And that's nothing compared to his dad. That dude is guilty of a number of genocides, and his temper tantrums and logic put Lord Emperor Trump to shame. Like, punishing his pet nation for its leader conducting a census that the god himself ordered in the first place.

We obviously need to pass legislation prohibiting discrimination for robots and AI in general. This cannot be allowed to continue.

If it was about health outcome, we would shift our time to adapt to the sun. But we don't we have, for example, 8h-17h always , winter and summer. That's what is unhealthy - our biology is adapted to do our activity with sun rise/sun set - not with a fix time DST or not does not change that much.

Quiet a few astronomical observation on very distant galaxy (so ancient light) shows that some of the fine structure constant did not change with time, or changed less than 10^-5 of its value (https://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/9803165), maybe somebody has a more recent article on whether that alpha change was confirmed or not.

"Car thefts in San Francisco are down almost 59% for the first eight months of 2026"

And car fuel price exploded. I think this is a far more likely correlation.

They are not trying to protect you or anybody. The idea IMO in those dire warning are:
1) make a lot of noise and dire warning
2) get congress to pass the "responsible AI act (TM)" which will only allow "responsible model"
3) Only the local US grown model are declared "responsible model"
4) China and other country are naturally excluded
5) ask politician to put sanction on those who use "irresponsible model"
6) profit.

This isn't moral. Ubuntu owes the GNU project far too much to replace GNU tools like this, and it's going to come back to bite them later, when they start losing the protection that the GPL gives. (For example, just imagine how much better Android would have been if its core were GPL, and how much worse Chrome could be getting if it wasn't).

For now:

apt install busybox-static #In case you mess up.
apt remove coreutils-from-uutils --allow-remove-essential
apt install coreutils-from-gnu #should have happened automatically.

I think we could solve the issue in a single line.
"All Cryptocurrency is hereby defined to be a counterfeit of real currency".
Then we can get rid of the scams, the lies, the dodgy donations, the pump-n-dump, the fraud, the emissions... let's just kill it.

"A labor union wants to be, and often is, the exclusive provider (that is, seller) of labor to a company or industry. "

Labor Union do not provide exclusively labor to companies. What they do is have the power of collective bargaining, job protection, safety - which is utterly different to being "exclusive provider of job".
You may confusing normal labor union, with hiring hall union (e.g. in construction/actors/voice actor). That is a widely different type of union. Most union are NOT hiring hall union.

Feel free to correct me.

"The UK may not regulate US entities without the consent of the US government"

The UK can wholly regulate US entity doing commerce in the UK on what they can or cannot do while selling to UK citizen, and their modality of information being saved UK data information for later access in UK.

And the US government can do diddly squat on that except trying political pressure (thus the article), and the company can go out of the UK market if they don't like the modality of it. Which in this case they did not, they agreed to remove some encryption instead, while probably going to thug the dick of the politician they donate to, and whine ask them to do something.

Your point would be valid if we were speaking about navigation only. The reality is that the Mercator map is used everywhere, for politics, news, and education. And that is where the point of the new projection comes in.
