However, it was Obama and Biden that laid the groundwork for the war against Ukraine

This site needs to filter out AI-generated nonsense. It's both hilarious and annoying to have these hallucinations posted.

It's especially annoying when the AI can't be bothered to do the slightest bit of research and read The Budapet Memorandum. We know AI can't understand what it means, but it could at least scan it into its database.

Spazis?

Mars will likely require the following infrastructure: space station in earth orbit, space station in lunar orbit, lunar base, space station in orbit around mars, and then a mars base. Like military operations, it's all really about logistics. Can we squeak in a direct recon flight, sure, but more serious stuff will require infrastructure.

Toss in some local acquisition and processing of resources at some point. Ex H2 O2 -- for air, water, and fuel.

A human on site is far more capable than a robot. A robot will have far greater endurance at a site. Which is better depends on the mission, the tasks to be done.

Also a big part of these missions is to develop and test the tech necessary for manned missions.

Frustration indexes have been used before in other customer facing industries, in particular to determine if users are being over served or under served. A certain level of dissatisfaction is expected, if it's too low then too many resources are being spent per user. Ie wasting money. Maximizing revenue often involves a non-zero frustration index. Seriously, service that is too good is sometimes considered a bad thing.

They aren't being forced. They're doing this willingly and enthusiastically.

Joke's on them. Nobody has the attention span to watch multi-hour videos anymore.

Not host OS based. There will likely be some trusted age verification service. Much like the various trusted certificates we already use on the web.

Have you previously entered a credit card into your apple account or apple wallet. That's probably all they need. It may be a non-issue for most adult apple users.

Only if someone bothers to read the article *and* understand it *and* care enough to call out the publication.

A lot of predicates there.

They probably want a current verified ID, with the current address and contact info that comes with that. Ie. Also 15, 18, and 21 years olds may be required to provide different levels of info.

Fight the good fight. Despite being early adopter of Gmail, I moved away from everything Google after they demanded I perform age verification. Thankfully I've seen it coming and they were unable to hold my data hostage.

It’s already broken because sites have so much content hidden behind collapsible text. I’ve already had to view the page source to ctrl f something.

I don't trust Google, therefore I suspect this is about loading ads and claiming they were displayed even if user never got to see them.

Apple wouldn't exist today if it were not for Jobs.

Apple wouldn't exist at all without both of them.

Arrogant childish gotta-rank-everything-and-everyone assumes they should have been ranked separately instead of together. They both own #1 as co-founders and the ones who planted both the technical and marketing seeds that grew it into the massive empire today.
