In the so-called fire-storm(2017) in the California Bay Area, I was out of power for 8 days. Several houses on my street were on an isolated grid and it blew 3 times in a week. Once while the PG&E guy was still on the pole. It was kind of like camping for a couple of days then it began to suck. Luckily we didn't have medical machines or such. We had a huge BBQ the 2nd day because the freezers were thawing in the extreme heat. I live in Yuma Az now and looking back 104 wasn't that bad :)

I taught Gemini how nose-picking works. They owe me!

Denied for not being human enough...Because those kids are way better in an institution than in a home with imperfect humans. I almost gave up once during the adoption process, but my wife held the line and I am so glad. Our daughter is the best thing in our lives.

Being from India is not to blame, it's being clueless and distant about the business at hand. The worst software I have made is when I didn't understand the domain side.

Iran also abused advertising technology used to serve tailored ads to cellphone users,

The Soviets used to say, "The capitalists will sell us the rope we'll use to hang them."

space ships and stations get a much higher amount of external radiation than Earth...and they needed to make sure it wouldn't interfere with the scans.

Just tape the film-stock on your leg and stick it out the window, free x-ray source.

I can't find it because your grep is not working ;-)

THIS THIS THIS. Bands used to make money in several ways...That isn't so anymore. The record labels FSCK'd everyone when they signed blanket agreements with the online services. Amazon/Temu killed the merch marked with Chinese knockoffs. All there is left is the show and the stuff they sell there, and bands are getting squeezed out there by fee's and tax's from everywhere. Corporations will own everything eventually.

That's very funny in a sad way. I volunteer at the Humane Society and we have a long questionnaire and review before we allow someone to adopt a dog. I adopted a child myself and the process was long, detailed and painful. Yet somehow any breeding couple can have a kid.

As you obviously fall into the proactive responsible parent I can't do anything but respect the choices you make for your kids. If more parents were like that there would not be this issue. I genuinely wish you the best.

and fix known bugs. Search can some later. The "Backroom" panel that interrupts Save operations is an example. I want to see File Explorer and only File Explorer, not your damned Spam Panel!

Even if the bubble bursts, AI will still be radically more powerful in a decade

The bottleneck may be training data, only so much can be wrung out of it even with hyper-training. Until bots actually understand shit, this may limit them for a good while.

It is all or nothing. We can't seem to do middle ground, or reasonable. There is plenty of good to be had online and used in the correct manner, but that would require parents to be RESPONSIBLE rather than abdicate to TV or whatever else is handy.

The current world is as if somebody freed all the Batman villains to run the companies, government, and wars.

It's monkeys flinging poo on the front page.

Very wealthy monkeys.
