You do not prevent hurricane. But you can prevent fucked up dams, corralling people in stadiums etc. etc. Anyways my point was not really about hurricane.

You gonna say the same about the consequence of events like Hurricane Katrina? Couple of less nukes, military contracts or whatever and you could have prevented the disaster.

And who says violence should haunt the person for the rest of their lives? It could be a single act in unfortunate circumstances. Person pays for it once and should be free to live the rest of their lives as normal unless they reoffend. Exc

I bet the assholes responsible for shutdown would solve the problem in an instant if they were to start losing money. But they are of course shielded from harm done to the rest of the population.

Duh. What is so surprising here? Is there any serious machinery from any manufacturer that does not have said remote-access feature? For example Deere equipment looted by Russia was remotely disabled by Deere.

Non US as well. Life saving saving surgeries get denied, delayed and otherwise screwed all the time. Not sure where exactly it is worse since absolutely atrocious cases can be found in every G7 country never mind the rest

>Problem. How do we store data persistently and then efficiently look it up later?" I would say without transactions it is not a database yet from a practical standpoint.

This video has brough warm and fuzzy memories from my other life. When I was a scientist back in USSR my research subject required measuring ridiculously low amounts of light and I used photomultiplier tube in photon counting mode for that.

"... instead of spending the time and money for research and engineering..." China has plenty of R&D and science now.

>"...The issue is allowing the Chinese to steal IP..." I do not think they need permission. There is no force that could order country to recognize IP. Do you really expect all world forever pay rent to few giant corps?
