This system is to make environmentalists feel good about themselves but really makes does not make that much of a difference to pollution. It however increase the risk of needing repairs and vehicle ownership cost.

Since it usually takes as much time to review code properly as it does to write it, what are we gaining here. I certainly wouldn't trust any AI currently available to write code without checking it carefully.

This has been known for some time, yet there are those who think its a conspiracy theory. Actually, its conspiracy fact. There were several studies in China that documented the effect of lowering IQ years ago, and there have been studies showing no benefit to at preventing cavities for ingestion over lifespan. National level comparisons show no benefit to water flouridation between countries with and without (European countries do not force medicate). The evidence for topical is clear, but topical application is not ingestion. Unlike water flouridation, topical is an individual choice, and flouride toothpaste is ubiqituous anyway and would give the actual proven benefit without forced medication or ingestion. The government needs to let people make their own decisions on medication and stop the unethical and illegal forced medication. If a doctor were found prescribing medications to someone who he had never seen that would lead to trouble. But you have clown city councils with no medical degrees prescribing a medication to people they have never seen and without their consent. See the problem?

There was a Moderna patented RNA sequence in SarsCov-2 that does suggest possible manipulation of the virus, and perhaps an HIV insert. You cant be absolutely certain its lab manipulated but its quite possible of not likely. The virus could have been a research project where someone was manipulating and playing around with the virus. It right off the bat seemed optimized for humans so may have also been the product of serial passage in humanlized mice. All of this gain of function nonsense has been going on for years and regardless of whether its a lab leak gain of function should not be happening and serves no purpose since a naturally occuring virus is not likely to be the same as one developed in a lab anyway and to respond to a pandemic you need to be able to get vaccines out quickly, which means quickly sequencing and then creating a targeted vaccine from what is going around, and GOF does not have a benefit with that to warrant the risk, having standby manufacturing capacity does, and you can test a vaccine for a virus family with non-GOFed strains on animals. You can predevelop for pandemic families without needing to screw around with GOF expirements. And, increasing human targeting is GOF despite what Fauci says.

Some airlines probably use something older, TPF, that dates back to 1979 running on Z system mainframes, and PARS, which is built on it. I imagine the bad crowdstrike thing probably impacted the terminals at airports that run Windows but interface to a mainframe

OK why with ESG and such is there no pressure on Lennar, Toll Brothers, etc to stop building these outrageous spread out single family home subdivisions where car use is mandatory rather than high density skyscrapers and public transit and 15 minute cities where car use is optional? Why is there not more effort on getting urban growth boundaries in place and removing height restrictions inside the UGB? Something is financing this boom in subdivisions that also eats into farmland and timberland which are lower impact and destroys wildlife habitat. Stopping subdivisions is low hanging fruit because unlike farming which is necessary, no one needs to live in a single family subdivision because there are better options through building high rises and public transit. Urban growth boundaries and mixed use high density in the UGB is the way to go

The main reason there has not been more Linux uptake is most people don't want to install an OS, most dont even know what it is. What Linux needed was a hardware maker that would have sold pre-installed computers that would target the consumer market and had competent marketing and outreach to commercial software and hardware vendors to embrace it. That maker would have then chosen a distro to use. Therefore there is no reason to have a "standard Linux distro", rather ready to use Linux computers directed at consumers. There are also secondary reasons such as a lack of rapid application development tools, also the multitude of package managers. The lack of capable RAD GUI tools makes it a hard platform to port to. There was an attempt to resolve the package manager thing with LSB but even there we couldnt get the larger distros like Ubuntu to stay on board with it. Now there are as many cross platform package managers as there are distros.

The lack of specialized applications, hardware support and ready to use preinstalled systems for consumers created a self reinforcing complex of barriers, so that all 3 would have to have been addressed simultaneously involving a consortium of systems builder, hardware and software vendors, etc to overcome it.

A program language is a too tool makers produce a lot of tools bed as use there is a benefit to having the right tool for the job. Some will use a mail gun. Some will use a hammer. Some will use a rock, which Java

Everyone is looking for a franchise where you can tell the same stories, utilize the same characters, over and over again. That is why Star Wars is worth a billion and paramount is banking its future on shows like strange new worlds. If they hit it is easy money.

On the other hand, Amazon is buying rights to sports, which are so extravagant they can only be seen as loss leaders to gain subscribers. It is money down the drain.

Free speech means talking the hood with the bad. Social media is a threat to the powerful because they can no longer control the naraative. Trump and Alito have free access to the WSH to spin their tarns, but what do the rest of us have. Sure we will get stories about fake COVID remedies or how McConnell splices his DNA with tortoise DNA to stay young, but that is small price to pay when the mainstream media is pushing extraterrestrial UFO debris. This is the right decision even if it is for dubious reasons.

Many years ago a friend bought a house in a property development at a strep discount. It was one of the last houses left so they just to finish sales. The other property owners, who paid full price sued and won a discount as well.

The courts do expect seller to deliver the product

I donâ(TM)t know the number of sites I no longer visit. Twitter for one. They want too much money, or become useless, or donâ(TM)t like my comments. I know how to go away.

I know that for some, this is how they make their livelihood. But seriously, most of these, even /., are just toys. Have fun. Maybe learn a bit. Then go and have sex with someone.

Fortunately he can get the ruling changed by paying for six luxury vacation and six years of school fees.

Going to the toilet regularly is a sign of good health. What many donâ(TM)t realize is not going to the toilet regularly, and then going, can lead to death in older people.

What is key is the body is discovered in 24 hours instead of days after the cat has eaten the body.

The purpose of the network, IIRC, was to make classic movies more accessible. So more people watched it. So they could turn a profit. Restoration, up scaling, colorization, etc.
