Why, because creating a virus a year after it was named defies the time space continuum or because examination of archived tissue samples determined it has been circulating in the general population in a weaker variant going back 50 years?

10 Ways AI could Kill Everyone. You won't believe what happens when you click on number 4!

When I am looking at the contracts my company has for our company phones, I doubt your promise. As an American company, it has decided that providing company phones to its employees is not a core competency of the company. So it outsourced the task to the lowest bidder, and the lowest bidder has bought data plans for our phones which abruptly switch off everything above EDGE, as soon as the data allocation for the period has been exhausted. No warning. No graceful change. Just a hard cut-off. For everyone, including Field Service, who needs to have mobile internet connectivity to get and update trouble tickets.

Yeah, I have it on good authority that COVID was planned to segregate people without critical thinking skills from dragging down the information economy. COVID-19 was released as a pretext to condition the mentally feable with dangerously high levels of medical mistrust so when the real killer virus is released, the dead weight will check themselves from the gene pool shouting like Disney's lemmings as they compete to outperform their peers in showing everyone what sheeple they are for submitting to medical advice.

No one fed it to me I figured it out myself.

It wasn't hard. The isps are pretty open about wanting to do away with net neutrality and what they're going to do if they pull it off.

Companies have these things called industry groups where they get together and talk about all the nasty things they want to do to us. It is generally out in the open because a lot of folks, yourself included, don't like to think about all the nasty things that they would do to us if we didn't have a huge number of laws against that and a shitload of bureaucrats policing them.

Incidentally you have also been trained to hate bureaucrats. That is on purpose. White collar crime is not enforced by a gun and a badge it's enforced by a clipboard and notebook paper.

It is hardly a surprise that a criminal would put effort into undermining or bribing whoever is enforcing the law. It's really obvious when a cop is on the take it is less obvious when a revolving door makes a bureaucrat look the other way or worse and honest bureaucrat enforcing the law gets fired and replaced by a corrupt one by a political appointee...

I've heard the Brazilian Jujitsu already took ol' Zuck out of the game via repeated head trauma.
They say he's practically brain dead. A puppetCEO. It's what motivated Facebook to go all in on the goggles, he needs them to compensate with short term memory issues and an inability to remember names, places, basically anything.
The severe memory lapses is also why the statue of the wife: he's tried to get combative with her when failing to recognise her; now she just points to the statue. It has reduced her need to use the stun gun on him when he gets unhinged and security is distracted.

When people say they want to make the world a better place, it's important to ask, for whom?

That was the entire purpose of the law it was to maintain the status quo which is net neutrality.

The purpose of the law was to put isps on notice that they would have a fight on their hands if they started violating net neutrality. And while they have poked at the edges laws like this have mostly prevented them from doing the really nasty stuff.

What you have here is called a chesterton's fence. It is a fence that you don't take down unless you understand why it was put up. I'm not talking about net neutrality I think at this point we all know it. I'm talking about this specific law. You don't take this law down without knowing why it was put up and I explained that above so I think it's safe to say we don't want to take this law down.

I am of course taking for granted the Trump is wrong but I think that's one of the safest bets in human history. The Man known as the king of debt who is bankrupted everything he's ever touched and is only not homeless because he was laundering money for the Russian mob is not someone I would seek legal advice from.

But thanks for the useless outrage porn. They will sue and they will win because the letter of the law is pretty fucking clear here and Trump does not have the authority to do this but they will waste a huge awount of energy fighting Trump.

Voters will get angry at democrats for doing nothing but not at Republicans for actively harming the country.

This is something Democrat strategists have been complaining about. Specifically if you're a republican you can get up on stage and yell God and country! And get votes.

The exact same thing does not work for democrats. Democrat voters could care less about your religious affiliation or how stupidly patriotic you might be. Democrat voters expect results and that would be fine if the Democrats could deliver results but it's really hard to do that when the other party is actively sabotaging the country and has been since newt Gingrich created the contract with America as a unified policy of blocking the Democrats from doing any good while doing active harm whenever the Republicans happen to get any power

And because we have all been conditioned to revile partisan politics when you point this out people just dismiss it. Almost as if someone was actively trying to do that for a reason ...

I'm not a conspiracy theorist I'm a conspiracy analyst.

C++ is just as much of a sieve as C, only more obtuse.

"Object models" are an anti-feature.

The ideal for memory safety is to have an air-tight pressure vessel.

With C, you're starting that task with a colander. You've managed to fill two of the colander's holes with silicone caulk. Congratulations.

Based on what? What makes something wrong or right in production providing the toolkit works and exists to allow it to be widely adopted and mass produced, and the end goal of the device is achieved?

Exactly. About the only thing that matters for "in production" is "meets requirements", whatever those may be. It's pretty rare that one of those is "squeeze the maximum possible performance out of a single-cycle multi-hundred MHz MCU". Sure for mass, low cost consumer products, it's worth pending a lot to save 10 cents on the MCU but it isn't for most of us.

I've seen similar complaints before: "Arduino has no place in production,

I've seen that too. I now point them to Finder PLC. It' an industrial unit that is basically an arduino with relays etc in a nice box.

Dude.

Back in the 80s I was running basic on a machine with a tenth of the RAM and less than a thousandth of the computing power. It did not "confound the learning process". These days I also often use the Arduino environment because the performance is adequate for me needs and so it's a waste of time to slog through the datasheet and do it all by hand.

Who cares if they are a bit different from python? I don't write C++ on an MCU in the same way I'm writing it on the server because I'm writing very different things.

This really sounds like nerd snobbery to me. Modern microcontrollers are so ludicrously powerful now many people dipping into them won't need to scratch the surface of the performance on offer. And that's ok.

Space data centers currently exist. But, they aren't used like terrestrial data centers. They're used for processing surveillance data at the point of observation. They're the equivalent of Flock cameras that are running machine learning models to detect anomalies, only when an anomaly is detected does it send the data to a ground based data center. That allows them to hunt for missiles and stealth planes optically from multiple points to develop a 3D mapping from optical video feeds. Starlink and Starshield are the Golden Dome.

What SpaceX is selling is a time slice when their satellites are flying over the ocean or areas the military isn't interested in. They'll offer the product at a discount, because The capacity and energy to run it is already paid for through defense contracts. For SpaceX that means every penny collected is profit. Their network becomes critical defense infrastructure until space is so full of debris that they can't utilize it anymore.

So which feature do you think Microsoft is secretly withholding from Windows 12, and OS which based on their past performance they will provide as a free upgrade? Did they not incorporate enough emoticons for you?
