STOP

yes this is crazy. There can be tremendous social pressures on someone to make them feel they are a 'burden' etc even if they really want to go on living. That is before you start to worry about really self serving actors applying coercive pressure.

Then there is the matter that pain often manifests, depressed people frequently experience chronic pain that really is all in their head and with the right treatment can go on to live happy lives. What do you think the medical industry is going to do though when 'getting the diagnosis wrong' means their (costly) problems vanish.

This is ***** sick, and will end up like Canada and Oregon where people are victimized and killed.

it is still just industrial lobby BS. You could just truck all the local slash from construction and development projects elsewhere and the yard waste otherwise landfill bound and dump in these places. In a few decades you'll have soil again and forestation would start.

Cheap, easy and would probably do more for global temperatures than solar farm not near where the power will be used requiring probably more deforestation to put in transfer lines.

Obvously still heavily contaminated with heavy metals and other issues, so nobody will want to be living there for quite some time, but just filling the places with organic waste and letting nature take its course is simple and effective.

LGBT people do not exist - they are not some different species or something. There is no gay gene after 30+ years of searching...

What exists are people who practice various forms of sodomy and experience varying degree of mental illness.

You don't say Baseball People exist because some people like playing baseball. We call them baseball players. What really needs defeating is this delusion that LGBTQwerty are some kind of legitimate class.

The community would face challenges. Like MacOS does not have touch controls etc. Might not be to hard of you can bring the code over from iOS components and do new builds; while being out of reach for "the community" which is more or less restricted to mixing binaries from different sources and applying the odd patch.

Apple's bigger problem would be getting any sort of cohesive environment for users that isn't a confusing mess. Do you have to swtich to iOS to run an 'app' or can you do in MacOS in a window? If you change iOS settings, grant permissions etc, does that impact MacOS for that app or not, what about the other way. If you really make it toggle switch where are my files/data? Can access the respective volumes from each platform or are they on the same volume. The iOS UI does have the files app but most apps don't have filesystem hierarchy concept for navigating. Am I expected to copy documents between them? If so how do I know which is the most recent version. What should MacOS do if I don't have an "application" associated but i do have an iOS app that has the right url handlers, suggest I visit the Mac App store, or launch the iOS app?

When WINE first appeared on the scene people wrote stuff like, just boot Windows if you want Windows. Wine took off because everyone who has ever done it knows multi-boot sucks! It can be alright for really dedicated tasks, like gaming "I don't want any interruptions no mail, no ims, I am killing zombies for the next two hours" but it absolutely blows if it means shutting down all my apps waiting for windows to start, using Quicken for 15min, than booting back to my linux desktop. Yeah a lot of us lived like that 25 years ago - never again.

Apple knows this is a terrible experience and they also know delivering it as a product would just leave a bad taste in the mouth of users and lead to a lot of bad reviews lying around for people to read and be turned off by. Asus and some others have tried this kind of thing with Android and Windows and there is a good reason you don't see those products now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

When your profiles are correlated in some way, and rest assured they will be eventually, you're going to be deported. Even if you do convince some wanna-king in black robe you are entitled to some process outside ICE, it will be slam dunk you lied on your app based on simple dates of the profiles.

I am sure your University won't refund the tuition.

Great strategy.

About the most fundamental statement in neuroscience is 'cells the fire together wire together'.

Of course the more time you spend thinking about and doing something the better you remember it and the more quickly you will be able recall the details.

I would think it would be obviously to anyone that using tools that allow you to skip over a lot of the composition effort, organizing facts you want to present into a narrative means you get less recall of those facts later.

Their reputation is only bad with a disaffected minority that like to fuss online. The vast majority of the people who work with, for, or in their industry admire them.

The absolutely will be either inspired to join or willing to do so thinking adding reservist to the CV might be a good career choice.

Second these companies and the governments ability to coordinate them in the event of a major conflict will be important. Having so familiarity with how the pentagon communicates, experience with the chain of command, and a feeling of personal inclusion will make things go more smoothly if suddenly the Defense Production Act or other war powers are being used to direct their activity.

But the Trump admin did it so naturally the Internet thinks it is dumb. Well it is not dumb, that is just your TDS showing. Now is it 'good' that is a different question...

Well Directx is a more complete package than vulkan, It might be nice if we could have an OSS solution like SDL or historically algegro etc be standard game engine API back-end but I am not so sure the current situation is bad.

Steam is a big enough market that it means developers even if they are not going to ship native binaries for anything not Windows they are probably going to at least test on Steam and Proton is open so stuff makes it way back into Wine and you can of course get proton on platforms other than steam. So really ultimately DirectX really isn't a target anymore, its the intersection of what works reasonably correctly on both Microsoft's and Wine/Proton implementations.

Iran in the 50s was violated the agreements they had made. The British and by extension a lot of American investors owned the stuff the prime minister was nationalizing. They were stealing! We did something about it. Simple as that.

What should other nation's do when another simply abandons its agreements? The options are
1) Shrug it off and move on
2) Go cry to some international body and hope you have influence to make a pariah out of them to the point they make good so they don't lose access to global trade.
3) War! / espionage.
 

That is find with Meta. They are not after building the best, they are after having the best offering. They already have the minimum saleable product. As far as Zuck is concerned staying a head of the competition is all the matters. That can be achieved by development in house, acquisition, or simply kneecapping the competitors; or any combination of the three. The precise mix is not important to him.

He is still butt hurt more people showed up for the "No Queens" event held back on 11/5/24 than this past weekends TDS support group gatherings, and can't admit that he really disappointed we have not experienced run away inflation due to the tariffs he promised we would.

Cut him slack though, it has to be hard being wrong about everything every time.

Exactly ARC sucks, its really terrible. They are not worth 250 let alone 400. You can get as much performance out of three generations old AMD kit. I know a lot of the tech media and gamers alike really want there to be more than two players, and one clear leader but wishing does not make it so.

Intel is so far from being competitive the right thing for them to do is abandon the space here.

It is interesting. I think a lot of us who did not venture into biology beyond high school or perhaps an undergrad class or two tend to think 'virus first' that is self replicating protein structures came first and then either formed or were formed by our creator into cellular life.

I don't think many of us looking at evolution as a model for how life adapts and changes really imagine something that is an organism going on to abandon that machinery and go back to being just some DNA/RNA strapped to hook. However in the presence of abundant cellular life a virus is really barest solution to existing as a parasite and comes will a lot of advantages, like you can just float there in some saline water not doing anything not requiring any energy etc, quite immune to many chemical conditions that might threaten your metabolic process etc until you 'bump' into a suitable host. So really cellular organisms "evolving" to become virus should be expected.

Well these are not very large, about the size of a car. So not exactly what you'd probably do for cargo drones. However Saildrone has been at this for awhile now. The the US Navy uses them for monitoring and detection as well. Organizations like NOAA use them for weather data gathering, a lot of other science like coral mapping and sea temperature tracking is also done with them. Minerals companies are using them generate topographic maps of large regions of sea bottom. These can carry some pretty advanced sensor packages.

Its pretty neat stuff.

No you don't because the safety noise makers cut off at 18-19mph. So you absolutely do not have have experience. Why was that point chosen, because that is about the point where typical noise of a tire on the road surface is a louder than the typical idle engine with contemporary stock exhaust..
