This is but one of the consequences of demographic changes in the UK, where a vocal and militant minority has disproportionate effect on policies and social climate. The massive curtailing of free speech is another sad consequences. And to think this is the country that gave us some of the greatest advances in civics and science, and the most fertile ground of free discourse. It is almost unbelievable that less than half a century ago this country gave use Monty Python and movies such as Life of Brian.
To say I'm excited would be a huge understatement. I am thrilled! This was the highlight of the year - so far!
Mr. Musk might just be one of the greatest men of our time. First man to establish a company that makes successful electric cars (and finally kicking the traditional car manufacturers in the groin to get up and do their own homework, finally) and first man to establish a successful private space launch company. Either of those endeavors would have seemed perfectly impossible just a few decades ago. And yet, a single man has done them both.
So yeah, the Musk adoration exists for a good reason.
As for me, I am looking forward for more of the achievements of humankind, exemplified in the output of SpaceX.
[2] The over-regulation of aviation in the US by the FAA makes the development and deployment of things like avionics and engines particularly expensive. [stay with me for a moment for the payoff...] It's not enough to develop a new flight instrument and get it approved - you must get a "Type Certificate" to allow the instrument to be installed into each make and model of plane. As a result, if you are only going to have a few customers for your new instrument in a particular sort of aircraft, then there's no way you'll ever recover the regulatory costs of getting a TypeCert for it, so you won't bother, and that means owners of that type of plane cannot get your new instrument for their plane. It's THIS aspect of FAA regulation that has made it so that most private planes in the US do not have (and indeed cannot get) an Angle-of-Attack instrument - the very thing this article complains about being optional on these 787s!!!!! Many private aviation incidents in the USA occur on departure, and on approach, and that's where an AOA indicator would save lives, but where many private pilots are only served by a squawking stall indicator.
Wow. This boggles the mind.
Thank you, sir, for sharing such interesting information!
1. Fat is good for you! Drink whole milk! 2. Fat is the devil! Eat rice cakes. 3. Actually, forget that last part. Carbs are the real problem. 4. Well, if you eat fat you might lose weight but have a sick heart. 5. The FDA food pyramid is for raising livestock! Eat real food. 6. No carbs! Keto baby!
It has been pretty well established in medical research in the last 50 years that eating fatty foods and oil will neither cause obesity nor cholesterol plaques, nor indeed any increased risk of hart diseases. #3 is spot on (carbohydrates will in fact cause damage to blood vessels, which is then followed by cholesterol plaques). And from everything I could glean the last couple of years, #6 seems to be correct as well. There are studies that clearly show that eliminating all carbs from diet (well, as much as possible, since some exist in meat) will have a very marked and rather fast positive effect on an existing diabetic condition.
A bit of anecdotal: I've known many people who are (or sadly, just were) very fat or obese even though they follow(ed) a vegetarian diet. I could even observe the transition some of them made from omnivore to vegetarian during the time I knew them, and all of them gained weight. None managed to mitigate their hart problems or their diabetes. Two died from diabetes-related issues. As for myself, my pre-diabetes condition has disappeared just a month after I drastically reduced my carbohydrate intake. I still eat some, but only about 20% of what I used to.
Limit fats? The lipid hypothesis has been debunked more than half a century ago. Just because every food manufacturer likes to blather about light this and that, it doesn't mean it's not based on a lie.
It has been found, many times over, even in studies encompassing entire countries (Denmark) that fat intake has no bearing on cholesterol plaques and heart diseases. Carbohydrates do, especially sugar, but not fat.
China is fast approaching the level of control that Orwell's 1984 describes. We're close to one security camera per citizen. Add total control of Internet, be it fixed or mobile, by the state, as well as total control of social media and payment, and you already have a system that is virtually impossible to escape from.
I am not fucking putting foot in the Peple's Republic of China. It jsut isn't happening.
I duplicate every video I put up on YT on at least one alternative site. So far I have everything up on Bitchute as well. Anyone who doesn't duplicate their content on an alternative video sharing site, is crazy.
I stopped automatic updates a couple of years ago. Microsofto was pushing Windows 10 hard. I realized that, once they stop pushing the Windows 10 installation, they will try to get Windows 7 user give up by pushing shit updates - stuff that will break Windows 7. Don't even try to tell me this is beyond Microsoft, we all know it is right up their alley.
So, after two years without automatic updates, all my computers (laptops and my desktop) are working without any security issues, including Meltdown that has been contained with patches that make sense vs. the crap that Microsoft pushed the first two times (surely by "mistake").
We are Sparta! I mean, Slashdot - we want to know, first and foremost, if the battery is user-replaceable, because we like to use our phones for several years.
Troublingly, I could not find (as of now) any articles/reviews that would communicate this crucial piece of information to the reader. I can but assume the battery is glued in.
I am a researcher who uses stereolithography (SLA) additive manufacturing techniques for producing experimental equipment, and must challenge your statement - these photocurable resins are mostly based on acrylic monomers and produce objects that have a high yield strength - more than enough for a myriad of applications. Of course, it does not equal the strength of most metal alloys, but it is comparable to most plastic materials in everyday use.
Why don't you guys get together and create a new init system that blows systemd away? Isn't that what the whole spirit of FOSS is about?
Because we already have an init system that blows systemD away.
That's not the issue. The issue is that Potternig's hot caca has been pushed by RedHat. RedHat is now the de-facto expert on that hot caca, and this gives them a commercial advantage. You have a problem with systemD? Redhat can assist for a fee.
This is just politics. Personally, I only run systemD-free distros, though I'm looking at going to the BSD world, more and more. It's very enticing.
I will agree there are tasks humans may be better at, but the opposite is also true. Robots can "see" in many more colors, for example.
"Robots can see in many more colors" - if this is one of the best arguments against sending a human to Mars, I am betting we'll be sending a human to Mars in the next three decades. I am afraid the anti-colonization brigade is really weak.

I am pretty sure the editors just copy/pasted the broken link from the CNN article. Obviously, that's a wrongheaded way of doing... editing.

I don't understand why t hey don't just replace plastic bags with biiodegradable ones?
The main CERN office and practically all research, is done in Switzerland, not an EU member. That dampens the irony.
Regardless, I await confirmation that the main cuts were in their cloud operations.

I have further three words: swipe to unlock.
Fuck Apple.
This is exactly what happened to GE, the largest (by number of employees) company in the world.
And as for the company with the largest income, which would be Saudi Aramco, I wonder if they went into financial services, too?
Whataboutism.

Commenting to undo a wrong moderation. I wanted to mod up this comment as insightful, because it brings up a great point.
or a person of jewish descent a Jew.
Huh? Jews never had any problem being called Jews. Not one of them. Not even israeli Haredim.

I read those comments. Might have gotten one myself. Along the lines "as soon as you boot your box will be owned."
Well, I rather not be owned by Microsoft.

Thank you! Welp, looks like i won't be buying.
I agree that the pollution problem on Earth is a severe one. I also happen to be on board with the scientific consensus on climate change.
But... why can't we do both? Solbe the pollution problem on Earth AND work towards exploration and colonizations of mars and other planets?
