Our work week is artificial in the first place. Nothing stops us from going to a 4, or even a 3 day work week now. 40 hour work week is not a requirement other then some construct of what we deemed reasonable at the time. When we were "simple" hunters and gatherers, we really didn't have a '7 day' week. Everyone did was was needed, and as technology developed, we were able to relax more.

What can Oracle do realistically that you can't make work in PostgreSQL?

This has nothing to do with AC. You don't need AC, these temperatures aren't remotely extreme. People are dying in Germany in temperatures where people are out sunbathing and enjoying themselves in in France. Thinking this is a lack of AC is an incredibly ignorant take on the issue.

The fundamental issue is society is built around a temperature norm, and that norm is breaking. Not AC or not AC, but everything we do as a society. We need to change our approach to heat in general and we'll be fine.

We don't need air-conditioning, especially not for a few days a year, we need to be more intelligent as a society. It's not that hot, people just think it is because they don't know how to deal with it. And judging by the "we need AC" comments here, you don't know either.

As a local AI enthusiast I can tell you that it's not practical even with a large budget. For one thing the hardware is obsolete as soon as you buy it. In a few years that $30k compute card is worth $300.

With that said, even "old" AI is useful for some tasks but probably not what you'll want to use it for. The field is moving so insanely fast that newer models vastly surpass previous models and you want to be top top of that because the improvements are huge.

Who died? Spanish citizens? Sources, please.
I'm not saying it isn't tragic that so many of the people suckered into this operation drowned

but that was not the point of contention. Read the thread again, carefully.

The entire concept of national borders is stupid.

It plays the human race against each other as a lottery of where you born, as if there isn't enough inequality in the world.

And congrats on emphasising my point. The Spanish external border wasn't breached. 0 people reached the EU Schengen zone, and yet Italy decided due to the risk of those immigrants they suspended the Schengen agreement with Spain. Let me repeat using different words. Brown people outside the EU moved to somewhere outside else still outside the EU, and Italy decided to close an internal EU border, all to rile up a racist base who also doesn't like brown people - With this context do you understand what "nationalistic" means?

I'm going to assume you're not completely ignorant of the fact that the number of migrants that came in was *EQUAL TO THE POPULATION OF THE ENTIRE REGION*. So that means your "force" will either fail miserably, likely resulting in your own death or you have strong firepower and decided to massacre people.

Why's that matter? Your stupid idea just killed many more than those you proclaimed to care about. You really say some spectacularly stupid shit sometimes.

If you want to take pictures out of context, there's plenty of pictures of what happened at the border: On the Spanish side all the border agents were there, standing there in full force unable to do anything. How many people do you think make up the border guard there, and what do you think they were going to do with an influx of 50000 people? Shoot them? Prevent people who just spent 5km swimming (some didn't make it and drowned) from coming out of the water?

Did you learn nothing from Gandhi?

Nonsense. Except from the right-wing vultures abusing the images for politics and undermining EU unity (which was the intent of this campaign), there were no consequences Spain could have prevented with the border security or army. In no time, pretty much all those who had crossed were back in Morocco and everything was back to normal.

Yeah, but that's a check of the client's cert, not the AP's.

There are approaches that do require the AP to have a valid cert, but how do you validate it when all the authentication happens on the other side of the AP?

WPA Enterprise has this covered. The certificate check occurs during the connection, prior to authentication. Procedurally generated credentials could be printed on to your tickets in advance, designed to work both at airports and during flights.

They're already using AI to identify military targets.... that's why they blew up a school full of children with cruise missiles, remember?

I, for one, doubt we'll see air traffic control replaced by AI any time soon. The big reason is accountability. If one air traffic controller completely screws things up and causes a plane crash -- that person can be singled out, terminated, and things return to normal. If the AI they replaced the human workers with screws up and causes a plane crash? Now you're talking about years of ongoing investigation, arguments/debates and pressure to bring the human workers back.
