1000 years from now, when space is full of satellites doing compute, people might learn (through the 3026 equivalent of a Tiktok) that this was the first "data center" in space.

Of course they'll talk about the lack of even rudimentary magnetic radiation shielding and astronomical cost of space launch with this first attempt, but they'll also point to the limited surface area of Earth and the atmosphere's much lower radiation efficiency as to why we had to eventually moved them off world.

Until now, the only generation who could have done anything about CO2 emissions are Boomers. The Silent Generation didn't know what the threat was and they didn't have the technology to do anything about it.

Most politicians today are extremely old and are only in those seats because equally old voters have disproportionate voting power. They are still predominantly Republican, which is a party that tries its best to deny and block any attempt at fixing or even adapting to climate change.

Time is running out for them though, so I think we will see if Gen X is any better when they're the ones in charge.

I know by the time we get to millennials (2040 onwards), there will be enough consensus to take some action. Though it might be too late by then.

You're right, but how it was written never mattered in the first place. Complaining about the process of creating the article is ad hominem. If someone disagrees with the points she raised, then they need to argue directly against those points.

That said, maybe it's not surprising that people who want to remove standardized testing from the admission process would also fail basic logic themselves.

Japan has a very conformist culture. Even if it's not a law, you're still expected to follow it.

That said, foreign companies and open source projects are unlikely to comply, and Japan has nothing near the frontier to replace them. It'll only be able to push its weight around when there's a Japanese alternative they can switch to.

It's the store's responsibility to make sure their employees know how to use the information provided and not simply trust everything they're told by the software.

This is the same cause of failure as when SWAT teams go on shooting sprees in random people's houses without even checking the veracity of the tip that they received.
