I don't know if Aegis if available for iPhone. It lets to backup and export to the destination of your choice, so you can use your own cloud or just do it offline.

References I could find say they want to build a 10GW solar panel factory, which if accurate wouldn't even make the top 10 world wide. Most of the larger ones are in China, but the Canadian Solar one is also larger than that.

Couldn't find data for the PCB factory, but I'd be very surprised if it was anything like the scale of the Chinese ones.

Speaking of, they are launching from barges off-shore, due to geography. Has the additional benefit of not destroying the launch complex when the rocket explodes.

Apparently this has been going on for decades and yet somehow California is still by far the richest state.

Macdonalds banned Graphene OS? Okay Ronald.

Aegis is a better alternative to Authy. Open source.

Considerably. Also wider spread.

Fortunately the US isn't the only one taking measurements, and with satellites other countries have data for the US.

The boomers introduced many of the policies that screwed things up, largely based on the assumption that every subsequent generation would be larger (more people) and wealthier. Climate change when they knew it was causing problems is a part of it, but so is the pension system that is basically a ponzi scheme, and house prices.

Every subsequent generation was smaller and less well off, but the boomers are still demanding what they promised themselves. They aren't willing to use any of their oil-based wealth to mitigate climate change either. In fact a lot of them seem to want to accelerate it.

Well, IIUC the actual models generally say more "nuclear autumn". It's still enough to cause massive famines and various other really undesirable effects. (I didn't say side-effects, because they are really components of 'nuclear autumn.)

OTOH, that was the prediction decades ago for a nuclear war between India and ... Pakistan or Afghanistan (I don't remember which).

I doubt those methods give the estimates for 10m below the surface of the ocean. It *is* a short record, but it's what we've got. Also, I don't see any reason to doubt it, except that I'd rather the answer were different.

Still, don't put high certainty in this particular measure. The problem is that it agrees (in general) with lots of other measures that have a much longer span. There are arguments against pretty much every one of them, but they aren't convincing and even so you have to have dozens of special cases happening at once.

That's a relief. Hopefully neither left lawyer offspring to carry on the family scam.

Comic Tropes just released a video about this sort of thing.

Two Japanese manga artists, one accused of plagiarism and the other not. Both copy poses from fashion magazines and photos of famous artists, but one traces them directly while the other takes inspiration from them and then draws his own version from scratch.

A subtle distinction, but an important one.

To be fair he has developed a lot of other people in the industry, and created the Beats brand that was sold to Apple.

There is always an element of luck - right place, right time, or born to wealthy parents - but he does seem to have some talent and understanding of the industry.

Arguably this is a demonstration of that. In the end people won't care if the bass line was made with AI, that's not why they listen to the kind of music he produces.

There's nothing particularly interesting or surprising about it. The barrier is there to protect the robots from damage, and to protect the spectators and the stadium from damage. These are experimental machines and weigh enough that they could cause damage or injure someone.

The stretchers are for the same reason, basically. The robots have to be autonomous, with the only remote control being a kill switch to make them inert, for safety reasons. To prevent the teams having to go onto the track to recover their robots, they simply stretcher them off. Saves time, and helps control human access to the track. Similar to motor racing where cars are recovered by track staff, not the teams.

These are all long established safety rules for any kind of event involving machines, or even equipment like swords and javelins used by human competitors.

There isn't any reason for them to rush. They are on track, and the manned missions aren't affected by the delay. They certainly would be affected if it failed though, as they would need to build new hardware and repeat the mission to find a suitable landing spot.
