I didnt find canada diverse when I've visited, not compared to europe. So Quebecens speak french, bfd, it's not Martian ffs and it's a lot nicer sounding language than spanish with it's annoying babbling cadence and nasal vowels.

Typo: should read 150 million cubic feet

Yet 150 cubic feet of gas per day will be burnt to run a datacentre to so what.... generate more AI slop and scan images in order to stroke Fuckerbergs ego and reduce what little privacy there is online that little bit more?

Its an x86 mini. Given its run from the shell I doubt terminal permissions come into it.

Not even adminy stuff, why TF do I need to enter a password just to run the lldb debugger as me on one of my own binaries??

Most EU countries dont allow military aircraft to break the sound barrier except in times of emergency. That's not the case in the USA, so ask yourself why they banned a supersonic passenger aircraft.

The EU didn't exist in the 1970s. Other than that, great comment.

Amusing you insulting the OP about lack of IQ when you dont even recognise that well known quote.

Back in the day Boeing and McDonnell Douglas were handed their arses by Concorde and didn't like it so yes, part of the reason was US protectionism. Would the ban have happened anyway? Possibly, but the US aircraft industry certainly helped swing it.

You think smart engineers and programmers only work at week old start-ups full of pink hairs and ping pong tables? Think again mate. IBM is almost as old as Ford and is at the cutting edge in a number of spheres of research.

Never underestimate just how deep some people can bury their heads in the sand.

Trump is dipshit in chief so no surprise. Politics aside, the guy is a thin skinned narciscist who cant handle people or organisations who disagree with him or refuse to toe the line so funding removal was in a sense inevitable.

No, it really wont. Anything that simple can be automated using standard scripts. Anything more complicated and its guesswork on the AIs part.

"That manifest"? What a crass phrase to describe people. You related to Bill Winters by any chance?

Thats a unimog - an actual truck for actual work, usually off-road. Looks like some halfwit with too much money has converted it to be his penis compensator.
