Or if the fix itself is flawed (CrowdStrike anyone ?) then the roll out screws everyone. Probably with catastrophic results.

Technology will not fix all the world's problems. I thought that kind of mindset died with Gene Rodenberry. Technology will never fix anything because it is created by humans, or AI, which is itself created by humans. It's unfixable humans all the way down.

A chain is never stronger than its weakest link, and you cannot take the human link out of the chain. There will always be incompetent, careless, arrogant, greedy, corrupt, or downright evil humans involved in the chain. Always. At least as long as there are humans.

They do what is basically the core of capitalism: Trying to make as much money as possible with the work of other people.

When two people bring vehicules to the same place, I call that an accident.

What model of mac do you have ? I doubt any mac models with firewire ports are supported by tahoe.

Those who lived through war are not the ones most likely to repeat it.

I remember reading about an interview in an old newspaper with one of the last, if not the last, surviving soldier of the American civil war. When asked "What are you the most afraid of ?", his answer was: "That when all of us are gone, it will happen all over again."

You replied to a troll bot.

No it doesn't. In fact, it's the exact opposite.

Constant acceleration only requires constant thrust, so the exact same amount of fuel consumed per time interval. That is true is the ship's total mass remains constant.

But in fact, the ship's mass will not remain constant. It will decrease with time, because of the fuel consumed. Therefore, to maintain constant acceleration, the ship will need to produce a decreasing amount of thrust with time, because of the decrease in mass, thus requiring less and less fuel with time, not more.

Do you really think people care about felony convictions anymore ?

Convicted felons get elected president of the United States, for crying out loud.

Fuck. I'm several decades older than that.

Please excuse me, I'm going to go write my will now.

I take it you have access to the complete, unedited version of the conversation. Please share.

Old people ? People who follow Dua Lipa and the Jenners/Kardashians on social media ?

Those old people ?

Lots of EVs where I live. They're fine in winter. Even in Edmonton those -40 temps are the exception rather than the norm. And even then, the car will still work perfectly fine at those temps, albeit with reduced range. Unlike ICE cars which may not even start and may need to be boosted.

Lots of people posting here saying something like "If they had to give up their land, then blah blah blah.

That sounds to me like a lot of people who don't give a flying fuck about nature trying to make themselves feel better by pretending that, deep down inside, everybody else is just as bad as they are.

You know what ? It would be perfectly possible to put 30% of the world's total land area under some form of protection without anybody losing their land. In some countries it could even be as much 90%, which could easily compensate for those who couldn't, like some european countries.

Even in the US, off the top of my head, I think almost 30% of total territory is public lands, and that's not even taking into account state-owned lands, first nations land, etc. In fact the US was a pioneer in land protection, even inventing the concept of national parks.

But that was a long time ago. Before the dark times, Before the Empire.

You sound like a wife beater.

"Look what you made me do !"

You know what pisses me off the most ?

It's not when they say "Nothing happened";

It's when they say "Something happened, but we're not telling you what !"
