It's more like they DO NOT want to believe how small portion sizes are required to consistently lose weight. Even if there was a device that could scan all food before eating it, they would still exempt some meals with the "do not

Recent events suggest that Turkey will be the major obstacle to Finlands NATO membership. But with zero reasonable arguments for blocking the membership, Turkeys position doesn't seem to be sustainable.

Sounds like it. There seems to be two paths due to the due diligence not being done by Musk. 1. Accept the 1bn backout and accept that Musk will look like a fool. 2. Sell enough Tesla stock to finance the deal, while risking a total meltdow

Turkey cannot be that stupid that they would deny Finland and Sweden membership of NATO. But then again Turkey is not the same Turkey that joined NATO back in the day. NATO diplomats will have their work cut out for them it seems.

The COVID pass is one such example, it has recently been extended until summer 2023. https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2022...

We can't have nice things it seems. Overall EU is a good idea, but total surveillance is a scary, scary concept that must be avoided at all cost, even at the cost of EU as concept.

This is no different from the outrage with Apple and client-side scanning of your device. Yes, we should absolutely do everything we can to protect the children. But losing our privacy is not and can never be an acceptable course of action.

PowerShell is great, period. Microsoft should acknowledge that PowerShell 7 built on .NET Core needs to be the default with Windows 11 and Windows Server. That is the greatest PowerShell failure by Microsoft, why build a new PowerShell and

Another tiring piece on COVID reporting on yet another variant. We are long past the point where we started to live with COVID, without modifying our way of life. Lockdowns due to COVID is only possible in oppressive regimes like China or R

Great initiative to show how bad things really are. Gaming where voice is enabled without admins to supervise it, will degenerate into this nearly every time. Sad state of affairs indeed.

Absolutely, Don't Look Up and all will be well. What is required is COVID level energy savings times two or three. But as long as we can't see the damage being done, there won't be sufficient support to change things in a mea

Well, you can have both, don't see why that should be a bad thing. A woman should have full control over her body, this decision is counter-productive. In my view USA is making a turn for the worse and setting out on a very dark path.

Ideally no percentage increase should take more than maybe 10-15% of the total time. If the website or app consistently violates this, then it is time for a different design. But more often than not the "Good enough, ship it" wins

You can change leadership, but if culture is the problem, then you're out of luck.

It would make more sense to compare systems with similar price points. In this case that would mean ThreadRipper systems and not Ryzen.

Absolutely, and the best thing to avoid it is to get the vaccine. Beyond that there really isn't any meaningful options.

The vaccine prevents serious illness or death, but won't stop the infection or long COVID. It's really about choosing between being able to live your life normally or limiting it in ways that are not guaranteed to make any noticab

At the rate of about one epidemic every hundred years or so, time and money would be better spent coming up with solutions for the environment. Cement with less of a CO2 footprint would be one example. https://www.bbc.com/ne

As long as the elderly and people with comorbidities are among the 30% fully vaccinated, things don't look too bad. Having a high number of cases is not in itself a problem anymore.

I'd rather have some small device or flying drone that can project images instead of multiple monitors. That would enable a truly mobile office. Here is an example from 2018: https://www.seeker.com/gadgets/new-tech

It's not like Denmark is any better, the Minister of Climate Dan Jørgensen shares the view that nuclear power is bad. Makes you question if Europe is really able to do anything seriously about the environment. https://energy

Who would have thought that Trump back in 2018 could so accurately predict Germany's current problems with Russian gas. It seems more like Germany's leaders back then were more interested in appearing green. One key quote is this

I'll have to go with clickbait as well, if this was more widespread there would be a lot more news in this area. The human race have known many serious illnesses over time, but there is no evidence that COVID should be number one on th

To me Garbage Collection in a language makes it easier to work with than a language without. As an example C# (GC) and Delphi/Turbo Pascal (No GC). Was involved in two projects where the one made in C# became the successful one. One of

Which is sadly not as intuitive as 'choco install vlc', WinGet really needs to support aliases to become widely used. Chocolatey does have it's quirks though, there is both a '7zip' and a '7zip.install' p

You claim 0.3% of the US population have died from COVID, but present no source to back up that claim. CDC puts this number at 1 million and you can be quite sure that figure doesn't distinguish between deaths from COVID and deaths whe
