Someone clarify because I'm confused. I thought there were newer alternatives with better hardware but Hawkings wanted to keep his old system. How does giving way his system help when there are better implementations out there?

I would argue we don't need to detoxify the internet, stopping trolling is missing the point however we should stop the spread of misinformation, in fact sites like reddit and facebook rarely create information, they just consume it bl

How so? The implication you and the article are asserting is that the clock error caused their deaths.. rather than the more accurate description "could have prevented death".

The scud missile lead to their deaths, not the software. There's no absolute guarantee it would have intercepted it, plus rebooting a deployed machine regularly is an acceptable fix when it's live in the field

cities don't exist in a vacuum. Many towns die because something essential like a coal mine was removed from the economy, just like removing cars (no matter how noble) could kill some cities too.

For the longest time I couldn't understand electrical theory, until a youtuber explained it very simply... It won't move unless it can see a path to ground, except you make it do all the work while it's attempting to ground.
