You can serve up ads to anyone. No need for extensive brainwashing. People already put up with that shit.

If you wash away the salt deposits, that implies using water and thus generating brine. Brushing the salt away might be better. Main thing would be avoiding losing the salt to precipitation, as the idea seems to be to avoid it returning to the ocean.
Figuring out how to economically purify the salts, including separating out the lithium, would be a neat trick.

There's no need to indoctrinate those who may have no jobs or disposable income in the future.

Was 2010 a particularly active year for earthquakes and/or volcanoes? There was an eruption in Iceland.

Not much. Plutonium isn't like uranium, it's effectively safe for human contact outside its fissioned form. This has been pretty well documented.

This is a step forward which is a long time overdue. It should've happened 30 years ago, and we'd have averted having to depend on China for our electricity production (wind + solar) without the net-zero production problems those two 'sources' introduce.

If Nightmare Eclipse did disclose these vulnerabilites to MS already (and if MS refused to act on them), one has to wonder if at least one of them was a deliberate backdoor left in their software (notably Bitlocker) for the benefit of the NSA? It's already well-known that the NSA has had backdoors for Bitlocker since its inception years ago.

It's a concept called defense in depth, and perhaps also defensive programming. It's good practice. You do not want to hold things off at the gate exclusively, because that relies entirely on your gate defense. This shouldn't be a difficult concept to understand.

Yes, it's potentially more difficult to exploit, but if it's known, a clever exploit can still be fashioned to expose it. This is being seen increasingly with AI driven exploits. You don't need a kernel RCE to gain full system access - you need 3 or 4 small privilege escalation bugs (theoretical problems) in different packages that are commonly used.

You're viewing the waves for the ocean.

There's also been recent research that shows that plasma actuators or electrohydrodynamic (EHD) flow control effectively eliminate drag. I'm not sure why this specific TFA gained publication but the ionic charge did not.

"the people who have to review code"

That doesn't exist as a meaningful or useful discipline anymore, except in niche development roles.

Sorry, no. Your code review isn't useful. It's probably not even thorough.

We're well into the "code review should be done by agents" phase of things.

I remember reading about the fight between polished aluminum planes and painted. The paint adds weight, and thus increases fuel consumption, but the paint lowers maintenance costs.
A dirty airplane can absolutely burn a noticeably larger amount of fuel.
A car is operating at much lower speeds, generally, so the effect is probably much less.

Bomb them again?

Either he's using the AC to make his unhinged posts, or it's a copycat troll trying to paint him as even more of an extremist than he is already.

Stop it with the bullshit. You'd be making excuses for Iran even if Israel and the US hunted down and killed every member of the IRGC. Iran is fucked. Their proxies are fucked.

Nice typo.

Regulared? Yes. Free? Absolutely not.
