Can they factor a number larger than 21 with QC yet?

Perhaps they could take a clue from software from 40+ years ago and make top-posting a configurable option.

But Microsoft has pretty much completely given up on making their software configurable for user preferences.

Hey, I resemble that remark.

"Dr. Sam Becket never returned home."

You forgot to misspell his name.

Not if they keep spending 10 figures a year trying to make VR happen.

How long can Meta survive without shipping a product people actually want?

"Please protect us from child-harm lawsuits since child harm is pretty much our business model."

Look at European democracies where coalition governments are the norm, where the system is designed to prevent any one party gaining complete power. Planning is longer term, and there is more certainty in future policy direction.The only certainty in Europe is gridlock, and a nearly religious adherence to half baked Green policy ideas.

Now we got to the time of the cretinous people who honestly believe "the five scariest words in the English language are 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help'". This means that instead of trying to ensure that their government is doing sensible things and ensuring that their country develops, they instead set out to destroy everything. Not cretinous, they just can't count(it's nine). Anyways, the modern equivalent would be I'm a consultant, and I'm here to help fix your diversity problem.(See Sweet Baby Inc, Codes of Conduct etc). Also the classic the bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy.

This is very important. There's a light-year of difference among a typical scholarly article, a physics paper, a math paper, or some kind of incomprehensible humanities bafflegab that no sane person could comprehend. The former, if it's not too technical, should be readable to the average undergrad. The second and third might not be because there are so many specialized concepts and so much specialized language. The latter (and I'm not indicting everything coming out of the humanities, but a lot of it) is incomprehensible because it literally doesn't make sense.

Did they take into account that most countries drive on the right? If you're walking the perimeter of a room counterclockwise, it might be because you are staying on the right.

I'm really shocked over everyone screaming over here, apparently defending telecoms selling your location data.
This is merely evidence of hyper-partisanship, in this case TDS, but yeah, Trump could cure cancer, and some people would become pro-cancer just out of spite.

Pedantic correction: Nebraska has a unicameral legislature thus cannot be a trifecta. Also how does Ohio fit in West?

there is no reason for ag engine makers to target California It is a massive market.
Not for corn. You don't replant almond trees every season, Plus California loves using people(typically migrant workers) to do the work of harvesting.

Stargate effectively had a single gimmick, the underdog vs incredibly powerful enemies and somehow winning. This resulted in a trope I called "Stargate Syndrome". The Underdog, in order to beat the uber-powerful enemy needs to become more powerful to defeat them, once this happens they need to create another, even more powerful enemy which the heroes need to become more powerful to defeat and then they need an even more powerful enemy to keep the series going, so on and so forth. SG1 started fighting fake gods with high tech and ended up with all the tech fighting almost literal gods.
Yes, power-scaling is a problem and the Stargate Syndrome was first seen in StarWars books(EU, now decanonized). It's why all of them involve Luke being taken out off screen, b/c a Jedi Master really solves a lot of conflict very easily. DBZ had the same problem once you defeat an enemy that can destroy a planet, the next enemy needs to be to destroy 2 planets, until it becomes a galaxy-wide threat etc. But the Stargate as a literary device, allowed for interesting examinations of what if and the human condition. I am surprised the current activists at Amazon did not see it as a great way to shoe horn in some political messaging w/ all the subtlety of a brick through a window.
