More or less. Since the 1790s the USA has regulated banks, communications, energy, and technology situations in similar fashion: https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/tiktok-vote-house-5-things-1.7...

Awesome idea, but I gave it a couple of tries for "software integration" and "integrated" and both times gave me a massive 9x9 grid of disturbing emoji faces peeling off the screen like stickers. Likely broken.

Hottest day recorded, likely since 1871 (1), but actually we don't know because the article doesn't offer that information. The Earth has been around much longer though. (1): https://data.noaa.gov/onestop/coll

I think it's unwise to constantly associate normal temperature fluctuations with any threat to civilization. If anything, it might be a leading indicator of mass migration. But we shouldn't ignore evidence to the contrary, mass in

Personal computers were considered just toys with very little real-world value for a long time too. And you might be limiting your thinking with VR/AR. Do you or anyone you know use face filters? That's AR. Lots of the rising gene

As someone who grew up in Phoenix and just bought a house here, I've been trying to responsibly educate myself in terms of how big of a crisis this might be. But I've found that a lot of comments, headlines, and judgment calls on

I'm really surprised this article is gaining any sort of traction on this site, as it hardly talks of anything to do with the headline, yet that hasn't dissuaded hundreds of comments discussing their own ideas to answering the que

There's nothing happening in Utah that is establishing a theocracy that requires you must attend and worship a certain religion.

All of the food consumed anywhere has to get shipped in because of globalization... Because that's the most efficient thing. And golf courses only use 4 acre feet of water for each acre of golf course. In the grand scheme of half a mil

Phoenix being unlivable is such a fearmongered point. Much of Arizona is already out of extreme drought, and is set up to be extremely livable due to solar & nuclear power plus innovations made in air conditioning and pulling water out

Yeah this is my experience cross-checking the article with my own Bing AI. Try and replicate the Appendix section and Bing AI gets everything right for me.

Ehhh I found this article to be quite inauthentic about the performance of Bing AI compared to how I have used it. The article didn't even share its prompts, except for the last one about Avatar and today's date (which I couldn&#x

Your post is on the worldwide web. Saying that you notice things getting worse where you are and not saying where "where" is and equating that to everywhere is what the problem is.

Lol I'd never imagined I'd see a comment like this here of all places.

I really disagree with this perspective. In history the democratization of books with the printing press, the entertainment & education industry with YouTube and MOOCs, and now whatever this next movement is with ChatGPT. Let's jus

Arizona is not running out of water. There's a lot of fearmongering surrounding water levels at Lake Mead or with the Colorado river, but Arizona doesn't get the majority of its water from those sources. It also uses 10x less wate

I'm from Arizona and have thus wondered this and researched the perceived water dilemma myself. Fabs do need a considerable injection of water to start, but their systems are so advanced and their logistics so efficient that they end u

'Regulation' is not a solution for countries that do not answer to the morals of the West, such as Turkmenistan, China, or Russia. Regulation should be demonized, for many situations it ends up being a hammer to a screw.

That's $37 per month less per customer. Now factor in inflation and rising energy costs and what's the total calculus?

I was hoping this would be an innovative way to write hyperlinks kind of what bit.ly or QR codes do and then you just point a camera at what you drew and it will go to it.

It takes less energy to cool down an interior space by one degree than heat it by one degree. You don't see active water crises in Arizona or California like you have in Jackson, Mississippi.

This is a great point. My wife and I were attracted to the Google Pixel lineup because they advertised unlimited original quality photo storage through Google Photos. Well they reduced that to just unlimited "high quality" a year

I don't know what news you're plugged in to but I'm not worried at all living in the SW US. Phoenix and Tucson had by far their wettest rainy season in decades last year and are projected to have another wet season this year.

I feel like EV market penetration would need to be pretty insane for a society to be less vulnerable to oil price spikes. For context the US is around 5% EV penetration currently. I don't think that number includes recreational vehicle
