I know many American evangelicals who believe Catholics are not true Christians, and as such, when they're talking about Christians they are not including Catholics in that discussion.

Development of Smalltalk started in 1969, and its first release was in 1972 - which is well before 1976. As far as whether Kay invented objects, no, Simula was released in 1967, well before development of Smalltalk had started. But Kay was

When AI replaces developers, it might affect around 5% to 10% of IT staff. Even if AI could develop robust code from scant and inconsistent requirements, it would likely only replace up to 50% of those developers. This would result in a 2.5

The turbine produces high temperatures which then causes reactions with the nitrogen that's present in the atmosphere. There's also nitrogen present in the fuel. It's not 100% pure methane.

Sniper rifles have longer barrels that both suppress barrel flash and increase muzzle velocity - thus making the rifle more accurate at longer distances. They also fire larger rounds with larger cartridges to get even greater muzzle velocit

Manufacturing now is increasingly being seen as a strategic capability. That's the whole impetus of "bringing it back." As you correctly point out, the United States is manufacturing more now than it ever has, while simultane

Has anyone used one LLM to generate a Gherkin script from a requirement, use another LLM to create code from the generated Gherkin script, and then use Cucumber to check the result? Of course, you'll need to have someone review the Ghe

The biggest problem McDonald's has been facing is inflation. McDonald's whole business model was predicated on reasonably good food that was delivered fast and cheap. Now the cheap part is off the table, and for a couple of bucks

Even if all this were true, the problem isn't renewables per se, but rather poor grid management. I'm flabbergasted to learn their grid management is so poor. As I said, here in the States, variable power sources must be backed by

Every member of this administration is thoroughly incompetent. It'd be funny if it didn't have dire consequences for the United States.

The irony is Trump is waging a trade war to boost American manufacturing, while he's experiencing the failures of American manufacturing due to the crises of competence in American management.

This can't possibly be true! I'm only familiar with the North American power grid, but there would be "spinning reserve" to ensure events such as this wouldn't happen. When you bid variable power sources such as win

As I've said elsewhere, that's not how markets work. Supply is balanced with demand. Disrupting supply while keeping demand constant will result in an increase in prices and less stock available to purchase. Add in irrational hoar

Markets don't work that way. Supply is tuned to demand. When the supply is artificially constrained while the demand remains constant, it further strains already limited supplies, leading to empty shelves and rising prices. This is a f

The United States has never had such incompetence in governance. Americans aren't accustomed to this degree of ineptness.

This could get really ugly when the shelves start going empty. This may make the toilet paper incident seem quaint in comparison.
