You missed the point. Per capita literally doesn't matter to the planet. It's a construct of politics. When you divide the organizational groups into meaningfully addressable buckets, it's not the highest per capita polluters who own enough of the problem to make any difference at all.

Per capita, Palau emits at over 1200% of the global average. Why aren't we bothering them? Oh right. Because there's only 17,000 of them. So they don't matter.

US and China together are 40% of the emissions. They matter.

Another possibility. They're testing it against an old Linux kernel with a large backlog of vulnerabilities that have since been addressed. This is at least as good as testing the current kernel - in fact, it's better, since the results can easily be compared to the issue trackers to see how many it caught correctly.

It's a question of priorities. If the exploit requires you to be in the network, install a special usb device on the server, interrupt the boot process, flood a specific port with malformed packets, do it on February 29th at 11:59.59 pm, and call your mother first, it's gonna bubble down on the priority list.

Everything else aside, the cybertruck is the worst looking vehicle ever made. It makes the PT cruiser look like art that should be hung in a gallery. It looks like what a 9 year old with Lego thinks a spaceship should look like. It's like they forgot every last bit of nuanced aesthetics learned in the last hundred years. WTF.

From the article;

Under a law rushed through Congress on Wednesday, a state guarantee fund must repay stranded depositors within five business days, starting Thursday with small accounts of up to about $1,600 held by customers with no debts to Ueno. The fund insures up to about $36,000 per customer, which the central bank says will cover the full balances of an estimated 97% of clients.

So people with debts to the failed bank might lose their balance... but they might also lose the balance of their debt. It's unclear.

For most it seems like a short delay in accessibility.

If it never ceases to amaze you, that's a failure of your imagination. And yep... a lot of Americans just don't know what to do with themselves.

"Be respectful of each other and learn to cooperate" - maybe not *only* in America - but it surprises me not at all that in America this suggestion results in pissy responses.
