The amount of egg Trump has accumulated on his face over the years would, if sold in stores, be sufficient to bring US egg prices and availability back to pre-avian-flu levels. The problem is that all that egg seems to be selectively invisible to his supporters.
Will it actually allow ordinary users to browse normally, though? Their other stuff breaks in minority browsers. Have they tested this well enough so that it won't? (I'd bet not.)
There's a large swathe of people who want comfort food entertainment—unchallenging and similar to what they've enjoyed watching/reading/listening to before—at least some of the time. It makes sense that LLMs would be good at filling that need, since they can pretty much only generate more of the same.
Proper reform would require pulling out of . . . I think it's three . . . large international treaties with a lot more signatories than just the US. Copyright terms have been too long for decades, not just since the last trilateral trade treaty.
One thing we could do immediately without having to negotiate with anyone outside the country is abolish crown copyright, though. It wouldn't free up a lot of stuff, but it would be a start.
We know. It's one of those things where a system was just allowed to sprout up without any thought being put into it, and now whenever someone tries to fix it, the vested interests howl like my cats do when you lift the sardines out of reach.
On the gripping hand, if you're trying to connect an older external device, you're more likely to get it working eventually under Linux (which usually keeps device drivers until they bit-rot out of the kernel tree) than Windows (whose drivers are version-specific and only get ported forward if the manufacturer thinks there's money in it). Six of one, half-a-dozen of the other, as far as I'm concerned, and device setup is a thing you should only have to do rarely anyway.
This might not be a popular opinion here, but I'm really not all that hurt by the fact that he didn't try to go through with the electoral reform stuff. I don't think it's going to have enough support to have a chance of passing until we spend another couple of decades or so dancing around it. Backing off a campaign promise because you come to the conclusion that it isn't really feasible isn't the worst thing a politician can do (and bulling forward even though you've been repeatedly told it isn't a good idea gets you Donald Trump). That a centrist party made electoral reform a campaign promise at all indicates that the idea is gaining traction, and while faster would be nice, I'll settle for progress in baby steps over no progress at all.
Or, y'know, simply make collecting data on anyone for the purpose of ad personalization, and the delivery of such ads, illegal, full stop. Penalize anyone found to be advertising on such a network, too.
I haven't been able to identify the source from which I first got the information, unfortunately, but other stuff I've found while looking makes me think there may indeed be a comms issue: ODIN, the new software platform for these birds that's now being put into production, is repeatedly described as "cloud-based". That and one site's cryptic reference to "F-35 crypto ignition keys" do not exactly inspire confidence in me. Or at least, if whatever I read first was a misinterpretation, I can kind of see where it was coming from.
My understanding is that there's some weird shenanigans going on with an encryption key or something of that ilk that has to be renewed daily from US servers for the aircraft to continue to function, but I'm not sure how reliable the source I got that from is. However, I wouldn't buy F-35s either, if I were a nation-state shopping for aircraft.
Lots and lots and lots. All the issues with scarcity of donor hearts and tissue compatibility would just go away, and the main constraint on heart transplants would become the availability of a cardiac surgeon. Far fewer people would die while they were on a waiting list, and there would be much less incentive to drop anyone healthy enough to survive the surgery off the list entirely.
As long as they keep the same protocol (and therefore third-party clients continue to work), I don't care if they replace the current first-party client with a new dumpster fire.
Thing is, we've got a large amount of very thinly populated Arctic land that we have to defend. Granted, modern equipment allows us to defend more land with less people, but it's expensive even without the requirement that it has to function in extreme cold. Maybe we could make it work, but we'd have to throw a lot of money at it, and the political will hasn't been there up to this point.
It's unfortunate that this is going to be his last term (although I don't blame him for wanting to retire).
