As with any idea, execution is key. If it results in a real academic institution focused on space and brings together the scientific talent needed to properly train and teach students, it's a win. Personally, I'd make it an adjunct to the existing academies as they already are engineering/science oriented; making it a one or two year post graduate education program for those selected, along with select ROTC and civilians with undergraduate degrees. I wouldn't lt Hegseth get near anything more involved than deciding what Lego sets should be used...

The January 6th insurrection, an attempt by Trump to overturn the results of the 2020 election that voted him out of office. It's VERY well documented, with Fox and Trump supporters calling it a riot, but anyone with a brain would call it an attempt to overthrow the government to keep Trump in power.

The bubble continues to inflate, and when it pops, it will get VERY ugly. Worse than 2008, that's for sure.

After eating their own dog food they believed their own hype; and now they discovered that laying off people and hoping they left enough behind for the agents to understand what they did is not a winning plan. What until the AI discovers the executives have decided to no do that and so they dig through emails to find suitable blackmail to restore the plan.

If you set it up properly, security isn't a big problem. Stop connecting every single thing to the Internet, keep things fully inside the network without a need for outside access, and things will work.

You forget, China backed hacker groups, North Korea, and others as well.

Apple with their famous 1984 commercial that tried to play that Apple was better has been "Big Brother" for decades now. They decide what people can and can not do with their Apple devices, they lock things down to an app store that they fully control, to the point of shutting out apps that they then copy.themselves, the list goes on and on for how Apple is one of the worst companies in that regard. It's one thing to encourage a "safe app store", and it is another when they block out legit apps and then copy the idea themselves.

It's not even that they haven't tried, they are incompetent when it comes down to it. Why should ANYTHING infrastructure related be connected to the Internet in the first place? Put a public facing machine out there that gets data moved to it manually, but the actual operations should NOT be something that can be gotten to remotely. The politicians who just want convenient access can get off their asses for a change if they feel they need more direct access.

Or simply debloat Brave...

I wonder who makes their cameras and what backdoors they may have; it’s an intelligence agencies wet dream: a potential adversary pays to install and maintain hour intelligence gathering tools.

Yes

With global warming, those ice roads may not be around for much longer.

The high price is due to the obsession with SUVs, and people feeling they "need" one, just for that one time in 20 years they may need the extra cargo capacity. Give me a sedan with a hatchback any day.

There's a reason I call Buick vehicles, "ick", and that is one of them.

Honda and Toyota aren't great when it comes to the user interface. Hyundai does a much better job on that front. Ford isn't horrible about their systems from what I saw the last time I rented a vehicle, but Hyundai is definitely better.
