The real clickbait headline would be that AI and Data Centers are leading to declining fertility rates.

Every couple I know whom don't have kids just don't want to have kids. It's not phones or money or socioeconomic factors or social media. They just don't want kids.

I didn't talk about AI at all. I'm talking about the underlying issues potentially causing the NHS's capacity issues. However, I see an issue in your reasoning:

What is the sunk cost? You rent AI services. There is a nominal cost in integrating it into some workflow, but the main cost are purchasing the service as needed.

Britain's population increased from 56 million to about 60 million between 1970 and 2005, at a rate of about 114,000 per year. It increased from 60 million to 68 million between 2005 and 2020. at a rate of 500,000 per year. That might have something to do with NHS staffing and budgetary issues.

Technically they did.

The NYT has a track record of stealth-edits.

Wiping the archive makes it much more difficult to detect this stuff.

I have the official developer documentation from NeXT. Sometimes it's NeXTSTEP and sometimes it's NEXTSTEP. I think NEXTSTEP is the newer marque, but both are correct, as NeXT themselves used both.

NASA needs Pu-238. Nuclear warheads use Pu-239.

There is no infrastructure to produce it at scale. There are tons of reactors that use uranium dioxide, so there is a pretty robust supply chain for it.

They must be switching some browser protections off, as well. My understanding is that JavaScript timing loops have some very minor entropy injected to prevent things like this from happening.

No, they'll buy licenses for QNX or VxWorks. Or switch to BSD. A lot of car stereos run on QNX/Qt.

What planet are you on where people care more about the Internet than oil? The planet of your mom's basement?

In case you haven't noticed, Iran has already cut off its citizens from the Internet. Threatening to cut them off is like threatening to cut off cruise ships from Iowa.

You're thinking of Ocean's 11. Different film.

Have you heard of Ocean's Eleven? He directed Ocean's Eleven. And a few dozen other films, one of which you're probably seen, unless you don't like going to movies.

I'm guessing it's a lot of legacy apps. My friend worked with PowerBuilder heavily in the 1990s doing a lot of custom work for niche vertical markets, like municipal water utility billing applications and industrial monitoring systems. I think a lot of that stuff is still floating around, and, similar to mainframe applications, organizations don't want to pay to overhaul the whole thing in Java/Rust/Python/whatever is fashionable at the moment.
