after death there are no more issues to solve also, what's your point?

Inflation is the drain on the nation. The reason for all of these 1 Trillion dollar companies is that there are all of these money created by the various governments and banks propped up by government entities, all of the bail outs, money printing, quantitative easing (money printing), etc., all of it is inflation, i.e. expansion of the money supply. Much of it is driven by the pathetically low interest rates, manipulated by the government over the last few decades (as the governments got off the gold), all of it means simply that prices for things (including stock valuations) go up, none of it is increase in any actual productivity, all of it is bad for the world and global economies no matter what the likes of Paul Krugmans and other Keynesian charlatans are telling you.

Basically a trillion dollars is not what it used to be, it used to be inconceivable, now it is just another Tuesday.

The economy started collapsing once the government introduced such concepts that allowed it to get to the point of the collapse. 2007 was a result of a number of wrong and bad decisions, it was not the cause. The cause is the government expansion, printing of paper money, federal reserve controlling and manipulating interest rates to be below what market would set, various rules, laws, regulations and taxes that prevent formation of capital and of businesses and promote outsourcing manufacturing.

What we are observing now is just many lines of bad decisions coming together into a single point, everything is being focused together and comes into light.

The reasons for all of this is corruption bottom up and top down, it is people expecting free shit to be handed out by government, expectations are that some people will pay for others, it doesn't matter if we are talking about income taxes, bank bailouts, housing subsidies, various rules and regulations, it is just a culmination of the effects of all of these causes.

Marking the value of these companies to market, is that it? For decades the idea for all of these 'businesses' was to collect as many free users as possible (which is why they could get hundreds of thousands if not millions of subscribers per day) and then get paid by the 'investors' (gamblers) for this. Their best business propositions were to sell advertisements and to sell user data. By introducing paid subscriptions AFAIC they are actually marking the value of their businesses to market, as in they are going to find out what their business models are actually worth. What will this do to their share prices you ask? I don't know, I wonder if they do.

That is my understanding as well. Nuke info is just about the only thing he cannot unilaterally declassify.. But that's one thing out of a an awful lot.. So.. what? 99.99% of stuff?

Key Aspects of Presidential Declassification Authority
Broad Power: As the ultimate classification authority, the president can unilaterally declassify most national security information.
Methods: While a formal process exists (involving written memos, agency consultation, and re-marking), a president can direct the declassification of documents through an executive order or direct, clearly communicated action.

Biden took his home when he was the VP. The VP has zero power to declassify documents. He's not the assistant President. The President could, should he choose, strip the VP of his security clearances or exclude him from everything. A perfect example is Truman. FDR kept that fucker in the dark about EVERYTHING. Truman didn't know about the Manhattan Project, only had two meetings with FDR for his entire 82-day Vice-Presidency (FDR died 83 days after his fourth election), and was excluded from the map room where the US war plan was being developed. The VP has only two jobs.. Wait for the President to die and cast tie-breaking votes in the Senate (which Vance did a few days ago). The VP used to preside over the Senate (a constitutional duty) but that stopped being a thing back in the 1950's.

Trump took his documents home while he was President. There's no crime there.. He is the highest authority (any sitting President is) on classification. He can un-classify a document by verbal decree. A VP can't change the classification on a fucking Fortune Cookie (yes, this applies to Vance - and I'd say the same thing if he got caught with classified documents at his home after he leaves office)

The point is, the difference was their jobs at the time.

I have several individuals that target me. I have extreme opposing political views and can be pretty caustic. I totally get it when those are downvoted.. But the rest is just them being petty.

This is already happening today and as many things are done in Ukraine today, much of what is done is done without some order from a high up office. I know that there are AI models trained on real combat data.

I saw a truck company exec spend 7 hours in one day to throw together a working portal that integrated with his TMS, QuickBooks, Slack, Telegram and a system called Border Connect. This portal looks like he wanted, does what he wanted and reduces work load and processing errors in his company. He had no idea what coding is, he had no idea and no interest even to find out what technologies were used, what languages were used to put together the solution. I have to admit it was impressive.

To say that using something like LLM for a solution generation is a good idea or not a good idea you have to look at the final result I think. It may be a terrible idea but what if it works, delivers what is asked of it and reduces expenses for a company? Also I saw how happy the guy was that he could do it, he was proud of his achievement and I must say, for a person with 0 knowledge and no understanding of the underlying tech still to be able to do this was impressive. I was impressed that he was able to achieve this.

Will it withstand the test of time? Only time will tell.

No.. Most of them aren't scientists. If they're piloting a US military aircraft, you can bet your ass they have a degree, though. While the US military, in general, doesn't usually require that your degree matches the field you operate in, there are far more people who want to be a "fighter pilot" than they have slots for. i.e. they get to be quite choosy.. The USAF (for example) gives heavy consideration to applicants with degrees in STEM fields and even higher consideration to those folks with aeronautical related degrees. Most pilots are actually highly-educated individuals. I don't know what movies you're watching that have given rise to your delusion that pilots are ignorant about the physics and theory behind the planes they operate, at the limits of human endurance. Even if the person coming in doesn't have a great grasp of "science details" on shit like sonic booms and the shock waves created as a jet approaches Mach 1.0, you can bet your ass that student pilot is taught all of that before they are given command of a $100 million fighter jet.

USAF fighter pilot training takes roughly 2.5 to 4 years total after commissioning, including Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT, ~1 year), Introduction to Fighter Fundamentals (IFF, ~3 months), and the specific fighter aircraft's Basic Course (B-Course, ~9 months)

I'm actually stunned that you would even suggest such a thing... You know how I know? I was there. I enlisted as a technician in the USAF during the first Gulf War. Officers weren't stupid. Some were assholes. Some were inexperienced. Not one was uneducated. I think, even all the way back then, anybody with 2 stars or more had a doctorate degree. If you wanted a colonel's eagle, you better get yourself a master's degree...

#1. For the love of God, go read up on the CONCORDE. After that, do a quick search on Boom Supersonic's "Overture". For F's sake..... The Concorde is no longer a thing because of cost. Not because they couldn't figure out how to move a 100+ people faster than the speed of sound, without turning them into meat-paste, you goober.

Yes. That's why it's impossible to accelerate past light speed. Because you couldn't see the stars or light would stretch backwards.. Or maybe a shock-wave would build up and damage your spacey-ship. Has nothing to do with E=MC2. (You know, Einstein's energy / mass equivalency equation.) Quantum mechanics in no way suggests that matter cannot equal or exceed light-speed because kinetic energy is real energy. The more kinetic energy an object possesses, the more that energy contributes to its inertia (resistance to changes in velocity). But hey, I was just an enlisted idiot who liked to read books on physics when there wasn't anything compelling on TV..

As a lowly, non-degreed, formerly enlisted idiot, I understand enough to know you to say this: Ah, the irony

No, no. I'm not suggesting we obtain the salt by Desalinization. But my state has a lot of Desalinization plants ALREADY in operation for drinking water purposes. Rather than dumping all that salt back into the ocean.....That's where I was going with that..

My state can use THAT SALT rather than importing it from some state that mines it...

Oh, screw you and your outrage. Don't like the joke? Fine.. Everybody has different tastes in humor, but you don't get to decide what others find funny, assclown. Plenty of us like dark humor. I bet you're the kind of cunt that goes to comedy shows and say the same shit to comedians on stage.

What does that have to do with anything?

Key Reasons for Lower Fire Risk in Sodium-Ion:
Lower Energy Density: Na-ion batteries store less energy in a given volume than Li-ion, reducing the intensity of a potential thermal event.
Higher Thermal Stability: Sodium chemistry is more stable; it doesn't undergo the same explosive decomposition as lithium when damaged or overheated, leading to gentler failure modes.
Higher Thermal Runaway Temperatures: Na-ion cells ignite at significantly higher temperatures (around 292C) compared to Li-ion, with slower temperature rise rates.
Less Flammable Electrolytes: Some Na-ion designs use nonflammable solvents, further reducing fire risk, unlike Li-ion batteries that often use flammable organic electrolytes.
Reduced Dendrite Formation: Sodium ions are less prone to forming dendrites (needle-like structures) that can pierce the separator and cause internal short circuits, a common failure point in Li-ion.

All of that is bullshit because you saw Sodium catch on fire?

Or just... regular old salt.. A resources that is in limitless supply as a waste product of desalinization.

Maybe... But what they can do, right now, is take demand out of the lithium supply. Sodium is great for applications where weight is a non-factor. It (supposedly) lasts longer, can recharge WAY faster (CATL is claiming recharge at up to 600 amps - Natron Energy claims 800 amps - LiFePO4 is capped at 100 amps IIRC), has a much wider working-temperature range ( -20C to 50C ) versus LiFePO4 ( 0C to 45C ), and is environmentally less damaging (no need to mine salt, it's everywhere) and the fire risk is either eliminated or at least greatly reduced.
