For me it's funny to see the discussion is completely black-white, like everyone is hooked. I have 3 kids, 2 use their phones like half an hour at a time, the other is completely hooked, hours and hours. If I don't intervene he do

$100 billion, what a number. It makes me a bit cynical. The amount of useful developments you could finance in either clean energy, education, nature preservation, medicine, anything. But no, let's build us a slightly better code gener

The article states "When that same data is transformed into a knowledge graph" This is a non-trivial exercise. How does one transform knowledge into a knowledge graph using RDF? RFD is extremely flexible and can represent any data

For more background on the development read Idea Man from Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, a really interesting read (at least the first half of the book, later chapters are describing how he spends his money being a billionaire) https:&#x

There is a lot of research done right now, funded by the EU. But uncertainties are huge, and the tipping point for the Amoc could be between 2050 and 8065 [0]. It's a complex problem, and almost impossible to model correctly, but that
