Why is Aston Martin announcing their car offerings in terms of MPH and "200 miles of range?" If they are a UK company shouldn't that all be in metric units?
Given that the diameter of a silicon atom is around 0.2nm, that means they are now building transistors out of something like 30-35 atoms across. How far down can this go before it all disappears in some kind of quantum uncertainty blob?
What seems to have passed everyone's notice is that we have successfully raised an entire generation (with spillover to older generations) that have become unable to go poop unless they take their smart phone with them.
So there will always be some demand even if the new features aren't driving otherwise-unneeded upgrades.
The egregious perfidy of the scammers is readily apparent in most of these videos. From their point of view they are just doing a regular job and get genuinely upset if anyone calls them on it.
How many artists won't get the entry-level apprentice-like opportunity to learn from people with more experience because this role has been automated?
Note that much anime grunt work in Japan has been farmed out to Korea where the labor is cheaper. Just look at the credits of any anime that aired in the last several years -- almost all Korean names. Not only the coloring but the in-betweeners.
So the problem you are pointing out already happened. Some jobs will remain but mostly for the higher-end stuff.
I'll never forget a business meeting dinner we once had at Spagos at the Ceasar's Palace mall many years ago. It was during either COMDEX or Interop. This was before text messaging was available.
Sitting there at a table near the center of the room was like sitting at the exhaust of a jet engine at half throttle. I have no idea how the waiters and waitresses performed their functions but each order had to be shouted three times. No meaningful discussion took place because it just wasn't possible.
Never again. Now my CEO only books private rooms at most restaurants for business meetings.
This. Even the deity Obama would not have any positive effect. Company's come and go. One day Amazon will file for bankruptcy. Its just how it is and always has been.
Japan seems to be able to have corporations that live longer. The oldest dates back to 705. In spite of world wars and stuff.
What I do, as I have my own domain, is to use a specific email per vendor
This should be a standard feature of every e-mail reader and web-based e-mail service regardless if the e-mail holder has their own domain. Even though I control my own infrastructure it is just a bit too much work for me so I don't do this for most accounts, but the advantage is obvious.
There used to be a quasi-standard where you could have an e-mail address john.doe+ebay@anydomain.com and mail agents would route by ignoring the + to the @ sign, but too many agents don't support it.
What seems weak to me are the procedures used in the accounting departments of the companies that get scammed. These tricks being used should not work in the first place. Seriously, is nobody paying attention?
In the play Shylock opines that Antonio is a "good man." Bassino, who he is talking to (or maybe talking to himself in front of) bridles at this, returning: "Have you heard any imputation to the contrary?"
The exchange reveals a fundamental difference in how the world is viewed. Those hundreds of years ago and now.
To the Trumpers, Republicans and Shylock a "good man" is someone who has the assets to cover his debts. If he can't he is by definition "not good."
To everyone else (as depicted by Bassino's outrage) a "good man" has other attributes besides wealth: honesty, law abiding, charitable, chaste, or whatever else you might find virtuous. Money doesn't come into it.
Anybody who thinks that the Trump controlled DHS is not equating net worth with character is simply dishonest, delusional, or just plain dumb. It is pointless to describe howTrump himself has walked away from debts many times and has done pretty well by it -- what matters to them is he has control of assets now. That makes him "good" in the eyes of himself and his MAGA-hat wearing followers. What he has done in the past doesn't matter.
Case in point -- a Saudi Arabian prince is implicated in a murder but gets a total free pass on it from Trump because of their financial arrangements. And not just at the national-interest level. Does someone want to argue that Trump's financial ties (and debt) to Saudi interests has nothing to do with it? I would really like to see that. Trump has declared that guy to be a "good man." You can do the same exercise as this with Putin.
Does someone think that the DHS chief that Trump selected is going to be of a different mind-set? I don't.
My last company was supporting boards for the aerospace industry. They have all sorts of odd triggers when it comes to anything to do with "drugs."
For some reason we didn't have to drug test our line workers that produced the product, but we did have to certify that the people who repaired the product with audited drug tests. Well it turns out to be one guy in our whole company who had to pee in a cup. I offered to do it with him even though I had nothing to do with manufacturing because I thought that was unfair. But it never went anywhere.
Elon can be hip as he wants, but if he wants those sweet sweet government contracts he has to behave. If something goes BOOM down the line when it wasn't supposed to there is nobody at NASA who wants to report to the subsequent investigation that they weren't keeping tabs on vendors.
I hate both parties. Both parties suffer from personality worship disorder.
The important thing, however, is that you have managed to paint yourself as superior to all others without shouldering any burden of of producing, much less implementing via popular vote, any solutions. Well done.
Which to believe? The most obvious thing to believe is that your concept of science is drastically wrong.
What you should believe is that scientists will update their hypotheses and conclusions as new data becomes available. Try that out. Then you won't be so perplexed by the list you posted.
Ask kids we had access to and played with the IBM 1401 at Lawrence Berkeley Labs. It was a pretty amazing machine but was obsolete at the time such that no "real" work was getting done on it. We learned a lot though.
But my first real computer was a contemporary of that, the IBM 1620. The CHM has one of those as well that is working but last I saw the typewriter was simulated with a PC.
The problem with keeping these things running isn't so much the core processors and logic. The mechanical pieces they relied on required a complete industrial base to produce them that simply doesn't exist any more. Can you still find typewriter ribbons and punched card supplies? What about all those little pieces that go into punched tape reader/writers or vacuum column tape drives?
For that matter, can you still buy 1/2 inch tape reels?
It can continue for a while but eventually the only hope for keeping these things running will be 3-D printing the parts they need.
Programming and using one of those systems for a real job is an experience that nobody will ever experience again. I can well understand those old codgers working to preserve them.
When sending an internet message via Starlink, a ground station will begin by using radio waves to talk to a satellite above it. Once in space, the message will be fired from satellite to satellite using lasers until it is above its destination.
Why it is almost as if they actually have an L2/L3 network! How could the reporter actually type the above text without passing out from the sheer excitement.
This was my impression. I use MacOS with Windows in a VM. I don't have a Linux VM because I have so many other systems that I can ssh into and do stuff either from the shell or an X app.
But if Windows were my primary operating system and I wanted to use Linux, I don't see why a Linux VM wouldn't be better than this halfway solution.
The anime is very good and some episodes could get an excellent or even masterpiece rating. However I would not recommend it to a viewer that is new to anime. They would miss a lot of the significance of some features.
Best points: Surprisingly thoughtful premise combined with strong performances. This is true of both the original Japanese sound track (Aya Hirano as Haruhi is brilliant and do not miss her singing) and also the English dubs (Wendee Lee is also great as Harhui but her singing isn't as good as Hirano -- Crispin Freeman might have just been born for his role as Kyon). On top of that we now have most of a generation of boys and girls who worship Yuuki Nagato, a supporting character.
Worst points: Haruhi's personality can get genuinely tiresome. Her domineering sexual abuse of Mikuru comes to mind. That is actually a feature not a bug but it doesn't change that it gets tiresome.
If you do watch anime this can be considered a must.
My guess is that you don't hear much because it is no longer on any default install package and why the hell would you install it when OpenSSH gives you scp which is secure and so much easier to use?
Even in Windows.
Also, most FTP install packages generally set it up so that it can only see one target directory that has nothing in it. You really have to go out of your way even with FTP to fsck yourself up.

You get used to him. At least I have no problem with him although I find some of his opinions rather odd.
So what do they charge per kg for a ride on a launch like that? Is it less than what the going rate was before?
If you are bored there are plenty of youtube videos that show how best to handle the phone scammers. Some are quite amusing.
for example: https://www.youtube.com/result...
The egregious perfidy of the scammers is readily apparent in most of these videos. From their point of view they are just doing a regular job and get genuinely upset if anyone calls them on it.
Are they not supposed to work with whomever they want? Ridiculous.
Not ridiculous when they manipulate elections against the law. Yes, some laws about that do still exist.

She is/was a paid advisor to the President. That is an official role.
