How does it work? I can guarantee that many Linux distros haven't been modified to handle this. And I doubt that any BSD version has, except, if you want to be very generous, Apple.

Does it mean you can't use Slackware in California or what?

94% is an extremely good start. It can take a long time to get 94% complete. It's true, that that last 6% is normally a lot harder, though. But often 94% is "good enough to start with". Only a few of the planned features are missing.

OTOH, I'm not sure I trust a claim that it's actually 94% complete.

I think you're mistaking the lack of evidence for the actuality of absence. But most relicts don't survive. Stone tools a durable, but wood and fiber aren't.

Also, even at maximal glaciation there were large areas that were temperate. Many of them are currently under water, so we really haven't even looked at them.

Additionally, technologies take time to develop. With relatively small populations, the development is slower. There is probably a minimum population size that is required for each degree of technological development, since you start to need specialists. (We know that at least one quite small group in the old stone age had a specialist in pottery, but most of the evidence for other specialties isn't as durable.)

So your assertion that earlier civilizations required the earth warming up is to definite and too sweeping. It's plausible, but to go further is to go beyond the evidence.

Not if you need that vacuum chamber.

Well, she did admit she'd made a stupid mistake. Not just a mistake, but a silly one. (Her guess was that the large amount of stuff in her email caused the system to need to compact memory, which caused it to lose her final instructions.)

Well, I don't believe that enslaving corporations is illegal. A bit of a dubious practice if you want to get continued corporate investment, however.

Now the employees of the corporation, that would be a different matter.

If you voted for Trump twice, I won't trust a single claim you make. And if you *claim* to have voted for Trump twice, I'll assume, until there is proof otherwise, that you are some kind of sociopath as well as a liar and untrustworthy.

Check out "Wigner's friend".

Observation requires "making a measurement". You can't observe something without measuring it.

OTOH, "making a measurement" doesn't require that YOU interact with the measurement...so the state doesn't have to collapse, just to get spread out. (Every interaction is "making a measurement", even if it's only an electron interacting with a proton, and you never look.) But the state doesn't collapse until YOU joint the interaction, and become yourself entangled.

At the macro level there's so much entangled that the state is very spread out. It's like tunneling. Heavy particles are much less willing to tunnel than lighter particles, because they are less spread out, i.e. the probability of where they are is more definite. Once you get to the size of a spec of dust, it's almost impossible to keep the state pure. (They've done it to crystals in labs, but it wasn't easy.)

Well, the bar at the bottom is a bit better, but the close box doesn't close it.

You're being silly. A method can find lots of errors that should be corrected without requiring a pentest. I'll admit, that there are lots of errors it probably won't find, but at least you can reduce the attack surface.

And the benefit of using an AI here SHOULD be that it de-emphasizes problems without any real effect. (Whether it is or not, I couldn't say, but if it doesn't, then why use an AI.)

They each, separately, require money. Doing both at once may well be impossible.

The big winner here is probably China. The upside is that Trump may have so isolated the US from it's allies that the balance of power will shift without a war happening, which is what all too typically happens as the balance shifts.

Kind of a silly thing for her to say. How many non-Klingons do you see in the Klingon empire vs non-humans in the Federation?

IIUC, a lot of those who were dying from COVID continued to maintain that taking the vaccine was something they shouldn't do.

I may think they're silly, and damaging to society, but many of them were that firm in their convictions.
