I might be old, but I have not forgotten him. He is one of the root causes for what is currently happening in the US.

Screwworms eating people? Nothing that horse dewormer or lethal doses of vitamin A can’t fix.

Oh, it goes after the livestock? Now they suddenly need real science to fix that!

“Sufficient reason to believe” - Either you have real evidence, or you are just hallucinating again. Most likely the latter.

Still better than the current full steam ahead into fascism.

If there is nothing to love and hope for, people start to cling to memories of better times, if only perceived better ones.

Then how about stopping welfare for millionaires?

Or stop subsiding e.g. plane fuel. Better for the environment anyway.

I said I am torn here. Basically both sides are shit. I know this does not help.

… without finally taking the upper ten percent into the taxpaying fold.

Properly dealing with hate crimes is different from controlling the internet more or less in general.

Let the internet be free, but also keep it free from hate.

Reading the article, I learned that the author does not really have a clue what he is talking about.

A mechanical clock is anything but analog. Look up what an escape wheel is for if you doubt it.

For “analog is easier” keep in mind that it is very hard to get chip based circuits do precisely reproducable analog behavior. Indeed, this is one of the main reasons why we have digital computer chips: the output of the circuit is sufficiently unambiguous.

And “can run things in parallel” - That’s what e.g. FPGAs are for. One if my designs runs audio compression on 32 channels with a meagre 12MHz clock, among many, many other tasks. All at the same time.

There are many more suspending the US as a destination, and they are all the larger ones. They simply don’t want to carry the legal responsibility of an unclear legal situation with a rather volatile government.

For Israel, anyone not killing Palestinians is Hamas.

How many vests cover the face? You can also shrapnel their groin area, and they bleed out before any ambulance will be there.

I’m pulled back and forth with this one. On the one hand, 4chan is a shithole that should be taken care of. On the other side, UK laws that try to govern the internet are so overly deranged shit.

So they take the kids away from parents who can’t take properly care of them because of poverty - and then demand those parents pay for this service?

That is the most American thing I’ve heard today.

Those people needed help even before ShitGPT.

Well, Jeep is not really a name for good innovation. They are stuck with a management that still thinks “mechanics” and sees electronics as a pure profit center, not as a gear in the system that has to be as reliable as the rest of it.

The lack of security awareness is due to them to scrooge to hire the right professionals for the job. It is 100% the result of cutting corners.

If you can hack a car with a flipper zero, then the car manufacturers failed to implement the most basic security protocols. Complain to them, and demand a fix.

With such a codebase, once it is settled to a certain point, you stop adding things. You write new things, and carefully interface with the old stuff.

Imagine a bank. Their software core is usually neolithic, i.e. written in COBOL or even worse, FORTRAN. You don’t add the “online banking” or “web client” interface in the original language. You add them in something more contemporary, which interfaces to the neolithic core via files, pipes, libraries, whatever, and translate it into a frontend as needed. As long as the core works, nobody needs to touch it.
