There is no permanent tech advantage to either side in this war. Only the potential for peace is permanent

Ukraine used Turkish Bayraktars, Russians got Iranian Shaheds
Russians invented cope cages, Ukrainians got them too.
Ukrainians got FPV drones, Russians got them too
Russians invented fiber-optic drones, Ukrainians got them too.
Now if the Ukrainians get assault robotic and evac robots, the Russians will get them too

One side has most of Europe backing it; the other side has most of Asia. Too many resources behind both parties for either to lose easily.

Stop the fighting. There are no winners here. Only worse-off losers.

Both Russian casualties and Ukrainian casualties have long passed the 'unsustainable' mark. Now both side are getting close to the point where either side can tap out. But Ukraine is closer to that point than Russia. Yes, Russia is losing, but Ukraine is losing harder and faster - it has less land, men, money, and munitions than Russia. It is getting attrited faster. Ukraine has the bigger job ahead of it after the war - blowing up unexploded ordanance, demining, rebuilding, repopulating.

Ukraine needs to:
(a) make an offer that the Russians can at least use as a fig leaf to concede peace.
(b) Ukraine also has a problem with a section of insubordinate rightwing soldiery that resists any peace concessions. Ship them straight to the fight. Want to disobey? Go fight then! Just don't take the rest of the country with you.

Why? So Ukrainian people can live. So its current leader can live. So the country is not at risk.

:-P

The union is fighting a losing game. They should use the momentum to launch their own employee-owned ride-sharing app.

Years ago, I saw a video of DIY-science types growing a chicken fetus in a glass.

That's OK

  I'd rather win the battle for the TV I possess now and take the risk of losing an industry-wide war for TVs I may never purchase in future.

Otherwise, I lose both the battle and the war

No, it's a serious suggestion.

I'm puzzled why it is controversial instead of obvious.

Yes, an AI model training on AI output will be more entropic than Anthropic. But there's no eating of one's own tail going on here... Just one AI trained on good data going about classifying, responding to and otherwise pre-processing data generated by other AIs.

  Gmail uses AI filtering to bin AI-generated spam. As does Apache Spam Assassin (Bayesian classifiers, etc).

Make AI be the drain. Have AI review AI-generated bug reports , classify them against existing big tracker entries, respond, bubble-up real issues, etc.

Maybe setup another 'AI mediated security list' that has agents and their human masters merrily chatting, and that bubbles up real issues to the main security mailing list.

When I see switches like this, I think ..

'Indefinitely Free'. Charge may come anytime. Stay alert.

Like with Tesla: 'Mostly Autopilot'. Crash may come anytime. Stay alert.

I'd rather use the default OS app password manager or setup rsync. Just so I don't have to stay alert about yet one more thing.

Are they doing '100 points of ID' or just checking email?

It depends on the complexity... Safety matches are an ultra-simplified procedure. I was taught to use flintstone but have forgotten how to.

The human body produces things like acetone, cyanide and bleach - but does this in molecular amounts and carefully compartmentalised enclosures.

But the customer pays for tarriffs, right? So if the business paid for an illegal tariff, and passed it down the chain, shouldn't their customer get the refund?

If not, why not pass a law saying so?

This could fund the stimulus/grant/tax refund that Trump wants to give common folk

Granted, eBay can be horrible. But .. Gamestop? Overreach. Why? Greed, aka 'Incentives'?

Gamestop's CEO is Canadian. TB Bank is also Canadian. From the CEO's Wikipedia page:

--
  In January 2026, the board granted him a 100% performance-based stock option award valued by press reports at approximately $35 billion if fully earned, covering 171.5 million shares at $20.66 per share. The award is divided into nine tranches that vest only if GameStop simultaneously hits market-capitalization and cumulative-EBITDA targets, with full vesting requiring a $100 billion market capitalization and $10 billion in cumulative EBITDA, roughly tenfold the companyâ(TM)s value at the time of the grant.[31][32]

Ooh, that excludes me then

Credit rating databases now cover multiple generations. When enrolling, ask for the father's name or mother's name and do some online verification (Facebook) and some math.

A 15-year old Hillary Clinton would be Hillary Rodham.
