Their kids didn't. Treating everyone like an island is ultimately the purest form of the cancer that infects the US.

"those goals seem to be nearly impossible to attain"

Is it impossible to obtain - the national ethos sees absolutely no problem with the unbounded consolidation of wealth and power, so long as it is in the private sector.

The joke is the private sector is so powerful at this point, your public sector is just a sock with the private sector's hand up its ass.

That'll never change as long as the concept of even moderate, reasonable redistribution of wealth is a national non-starter. It's impressive watching the way the US twists itself this way and that, where everybody is just a temporarily embarrassed billionaire voting for less taxes, less spending to make their supposed future rich selves happy for when they finally join the billionaire class.

What's Randy Quaid been up to lately? For a few years there he was making good progress transforming into a real-life Russell Casse.

Thanks anonymous reader for telling us who Lorde is.
sheesh.

"Sane people use C for that" for embedded systems? That's a very "all i know I leaned from Slashdot" definition of embedded systems you must have

Dunno if you're a programmer or not, but if you're not extensively testing and verifying what you wrote before you put it in production, you're doing it wrong.

You have to verify and test *all* code. LLMs are great for producing a bunch of boiler plate code that would take a long time to write and is easily testable. The claim that LLMs are useless for programming flies in the face of everything happening in the ivoriest of towers of programming these days. Professionals in every major shop in the world use it now as appropriate. Sorry that makes you mad. I'm not young either. I've been producing C++ on embedded systems used by millions of people for 20+ years. Nobody doing serious programming takes the "LLMs are useless" opinion seriously anymore.

I think you're the one who doesn't know what it means.

Plastic is highly inert. Thats why it has the properties it has in the first place.

Of course it is not perfectly inert, but neither are most things. It's certainly not any more dangerous in a landfill than any number of other non-man-made substances, things like lead and arsenic.

It has nothing at all to do with speed. It has to do with visibility. Being part of the kernel was the only way for security products to have the level of visibility they required into the OS operation to do their job.

Plastic prevents tood waste.

Replacing plastic with paper, would result in more food waste.

Food waste is already THE NUMBER ONE Co2 contributor after transportation, with 46% of food produced being wasted.

And you're suggesting making it worse, in order to reduce the volume of something that is inert and could just be buried for all of eternity.

I don't know a lot about this project but I am not understanding why they wouldn't just move to a non-Fedora based distribution. There are *LOTS* of them.

We're saying the same thing.

Laws should never pick winners and losers. If you want to police content, then define how the content should be policed, and then go and do that. Don't make up arbitrary lists of companies - which, by the way, will become outdated the moment they are published.

Look - if you're going to roll out these wacky laws, then you need to think through the implementation, do it consistently, and live with the consequences.

The idea that YouTube should be granted an exemption over TikTok and Instagram simply because some of their content is educational, is *BANANAS*. Are you trying to tell me there is no educational videos on Instagram and TikTok?

The regulations, and any exemptions, should be based on clearly defined CONTENT RULES, *NOT* based on platforms. IE, if you want to exempt educational videos, then exempt them outright and let all platforms allow minors to view that type of content.

You could also just send it to the moon.

It does not need to get to the sun.

It just needs to get out of orbit and on a general, slow trajectory into space.

You can engineer around that. Its actually not a hard engineering problem at all to design a safety shell for the payload.
