Timeline hopper here, just through the gate from funny laugh lady land. Believe it or not in that line Musk is still the richest man ever over there - richer even - but he's a woke social librul because he knows which side of his bread has butter on it.

Notably, President Harris also prefers rockets that will launch to rockets that will not for some reason.

But don't eat the fish. Just in case.

Japan will put its wind farms in front of the coast. Ans strictly speaking: they have the land, but it would be idiotic to place wind farms there.

Wind and solar do not provide base load. A base load plant is a plant that runs around ~95% capacity all day and night for years.

The Parliament has no power over the European Council and over the Council of the European Union which both represent the member states.
And what is your point?

The German parliament also has no power over the ministers ... and likewise more or less every other parliament.

but they have no right to take the initiative on European legislation: That is also nitpicking, as you pointed out here: "The European Parliament has the right to request the Commission to initiate a legislative procedure and put forward a proposal"

Replacing garbage trucks burned by angry villagers can get expensive.

On the other hand, it is actually common to make the duress password VERY similar to the correct password so it looks about the same when you enter it. Especially on something like a phone where you can generally re-load the data later if you want. The consequences of an accidental wipe may be quite small.

Other posible explanations include the defendant remembering the wrong password under pressure. The defendant having any history of mis-typing is irrelevant.

>[T]he oligopoly seems to be facing the first credible challenge to its capacity discipline...

What an interesting way to describe that. A disciplined way, you might say.

I want someone to turn the whole "president Jack Ryan" stuff into movies/TV. Although considering that it all starts with a Japanese kamikaze pilot crashing a fully loaded passenger jet into the US Capitol and killing most of the government in one fell swoop, its probably not something Hollywood is going to want to put on screen...

The Neuromancer TV show looks good although its hard to tell from that clip how well its going to follow the book.

What I am most interested in is how they depict cyberspace and whether it looks like the simple depiction described in the book or whether it looks more like The Matrix.

I have to wonder: how much of this is due to how college is designed? You take maybe 1-2 classes a semester related to your field of study, until 3rd or 4th year. History is not a common major, especially after 1-2 year.

I would think that someone bothering to major in a particular field would at least take the time to proofread their own papers.

At 32 out of 35, with only 3 not cheating, that makes me wonder a couple things (besides whether there are fewer history majors now that college is so expensive, and job outcomes in academia are increasingly uncertain): Is this a 100-200 level class? His video seems to suggest so - only part of the midterm was on the Industrial Revolution, and these answers suggest broad 100-level "required" class.

This isn't a story about AI cheating and ruining education. It's about a much deeper, systemic problem with both higher education as an institution, how it's financed, why it's even required, and our cultural valuation (or lack thereof) of the value of a holistic education.

There is no European President,
That is wrong. While it is a token job, presidency changes on a fixed schedule every 6 months.

Least power is with the European Parliament [wikipedia.org] (currently presided by Roberta Metsola) which can only accept European legislation following a proposal by the European Commission.
That is double incorrect.
A) they have the highest power - without their vote: goes nothing.
B) they vote on the proposals of the European Commission
C) they can suggest new laws or regulations to the European Commission and later, see: B)

I don't know if it's plain volume or some more subtle characteristic of the noise; but I'd suspect that there's more to it than noise alone; given how rare(and often slightly disconcerting in practice) genuinely silent environments are and would have been in evolutionary history.

Even in totally undeveloped areas where you and your little teeny band of hunter-gatherer pals are the only thing going the wind is always up to something; some combination of birds and insects will be doing their thing depending on temperature, if there's a body of water of any size or moving water you'll hear some flow or wave action.

Could be pure intensity; a lot of modern noise is quite intense close to its source; could also be something about how it is interpreted and how readily it is or isn't discarded as background vs. forcing some amount of constant active attention.

Watching was a thrill ride from beginning to end. Still issues with Booster landing but they will sort it out. The re-entry tiles did great. The satellites did great. Ship did so well they will try for a catch next time, if there's nothing counter in the flight data.

Hardware rich development proves itself again. The next one is built and being fitted out for a launch just a couple months away. Behind it, the factory has begun several more.

It's hard to believe they started building this on a beach in tents, with a flying water tower.

He was definitely right when he said the iBook looked like a Hello Kitty purse.

Or Fat Fingers McSpellsbad typoed the correct password and landed on the duress password instead. We'll never know since in the process he destroyed any evidence of what the passwords might have been.

Fortunately for the defendant, it's up to the prosecutor to PROVE that that isn't how the data came to be wiped.
