Hmm, perhaps you could also mandate better braking systems in trains while you're at it. :-)

I have changed my mind on this recently. Sure, exploiting free software to the benefit of private corps is bad but if the law would allow us to train an open source net on LibGen (with all the copyrighted books and papers) and then to distr

Not really. It's sufficient to show cool products in "TV" shows (robotic vacuum cleaner in a procedural crime drama might even be a plot device, absorbing murderer's hair to be found by detectives, gasp!). Coupled with a

If you consider a broader picture, unleashing a paperclip-style cripple AI (aligned to rising $MEGACORP profit) on the Local Group is almost definitely worse for all Local Group inhabitants than annihilating ourselves and not doing that.

The article is not that good, but whatever. I am new to electronics myself and quite fascinated how has the art progressed in the past hundred or so years. There are people remembering "we were doing it wrong". Incredible. Anyway,

Extreme heat events tend to go hand in hand with great solar yields. So actually building some solar power plants would be a sensible thing to do. But that would probably need some involvement from public sector and US public sector has bee

Sounds nice. Rich ones will get panels and batteries, poor ones... Well, the usual. It's a nice symptom of investments to the public infrastructure lagging.

Yeah, but X470D4U and similar boards are so overpriced one can somewhat relate to people using gaming boards for servers. Especially since a lot of them route ECC pins nowadays. I sure wasn't happy paying extra just to have a different

Perhaps capitalism? The days of providing new products to the eager market are gone. It simply no longer pays to hire more people and let them solve other people's problems. It's an all-out class war (fighting against unions, brib

Not really. Kagi weeds out those pretty well in practice. The results are mostly same as from Google, but the crap is removed and organic sites get a boost. The only place where Kagi is mostly worse is figuring out that the query is actuall

It's probably not about that for most of the car owners. Most probably feel subconsciously threatened by the prospect of having to actually talk out public space utilization with other people. Meaning they wouldn't be able to rely

You should see the public transportation outside US! It's terrible how they are nice and convenient spaces. Must be all the communism.

Screw all of that. Just make the education modular, let anyone take any module and any time and certify them based on requirements for that particular module. Regardless of their attendence and other crap. Then once they have requisite modu

Even those. When the cost of failure is too high, we need to invest in practices that allow them fail safely. And get as much from failures as possible. It means giving doctors and nurses simulators, someone to look over their shoulder when

You are right. We are definitely missing a positive, encouraging, cooperative culture. Which is kinda as intended, isn't it? They sure told us in school to make sure we market ourselves well to our future employers. Stressing the need

Sorry, never made living from smart phones. Still don't think it's a good idea to ban them for kids. Instead of actually making the world a fun place to live in, someone calls for renaming git master branch to main, sorry, to ban

Yeah but the rats did not continue to drink cocaine if they had a nice place to hang out with other rats, right? So maybe everyone is binging the sewer water simply because life's not really fun nowadays. Have you noticed how tired and

Why? Just ban the social media use below that age. And then enforce it by fining parents.

I highly recommend Golem XIV from Stanislaw Lem. And his other books, such as Summa Technologiae. He would probably agree with you, were he still among us.
