Even if it is desinformation on national TV by our politicians?
The amount of desinformation combined with stupid decisions impacting the lives of everyone is what kills democracy. Just label someone racist and it's on the desinformation track because it will move the discussion from the subject to the messenger. If that doesn't help, then make a comparisition with a suitable Nazi leader in order to kill the debate. Godwin's law still works for many.
Using strong labels is however not necessarily right since it skews the debate and over time those labels wears down and became weaker.
Climate change denier is another label that is thrown around, and the only focus is 'Burn less coal/oil'. But everyone evades the real issue - overpopulation, because then the solution would be racist.
That depends on the quality of the pictures you want to get. Higher ISO means more noise and less dynamic range, which makes the pictures look flat and uninteresting.
Overall this shows that there's a threshold on how high pressure the politicians can put on the population. They often tend to forget that they actually are placed there to serve the citizens, not being the masters.
Effectively what will happen is that it will accelerate cord-cutting so they just try to squeeze the last out of the market before it dies a slow death.
Regardless of case the company providing the service causing the harm should be seen as an cooperating in the crime and if they don't take action to prevent further criminal actions and support investigation then they shall be seen as equally guilty.
"Moore's law is the observation that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles about every two years."
It actually does not state anything else. So it may mean that we may see an end to how dense things can be packed, but the law can still be fulfilled by larger chips and even multiple chips in the same casing to manage massive multi-core processors.
Even though we now see a transit to more pure 64-bit cores I still see that a lot of stuff when doing multi-thread and multi-process activities would be sufficient on 32 and even 16 bit cores. Seems like a waste to run a 64 bit core for a small job, so maybe hybrid solutions would be the thing. A small processor with fewer bits might even be able to have a higher clock frequency because it's easier to speed up things when the physical data bus width is narrower. Of course we already have a hybrid solution utilizing GPUs today.
But when it's internationally it's going to take so long for it to be investigated that the statute of limitation will kill it before it's coming to court. It may even happen on federal level as it's often not considered to be a prioritized issue.
Software companies have had a "free out of jail" card for decades since they don't deliver a physical product.
Instead it's all in the fine print and the user has to bear the full responsibility and consequences even if they aren't at fault.
What it have to take is to make the whole US Senate to be caught with their pants down to update the legislation regarding product responsibility also for software and services.
But they make sure that you can't buy replacement batteries. And that it's complex enough for the average person to not replace the wear item that the battery is to promote replacement of the whole device.
The performance and capability of the devices today have reached the "sufficient" level for most users, so it's necessary to drive the demand by other means to ensure increased profits.
This is also why people don't buy as many stationary/desktop comouters either. They did reach the performance platform 8 years ago and the laptops reached it just a few years after that. Today it's only bleeding edge users that upgrades. The Sandy Bridge processor equipped computer I have as main computer is a bit old from computer perspective but still sufficient for most tasks with the Core i7-2600.
It's only now with the AMD threadripper that performance has started to grow again in a noticeable way.

It's nothing new, just business as usual since the end of WW2, it was so common during the Cold War that it was pretty much ignored.

The alternative would be a major plague worse than Black Death culling humanity severely.
With on average 4" of ash over the USA. It's going to be a goldmine for those selling shovels.

If you want to get the true north - get a gyro compass.
The inside of the Earth is liquid and not homogeneous so things changes quite a bit over time.
I wonder if a polarity change will coincide with eruption of Yellowstone. And I worry more about an eruption than a polarity change.
Some of the leading tech like computers and TVs are pretty cool actually - and that we can have all we have on a small USB stick in our pocket.
The bad parts - well, that was predicted by Aldous Huxley, George Orwell and by the TV show "Max Headroom".
Indoors photography would probably be like 1/25 to 1/125th of a second depending on light conditions.
"Vive la France" is the correct writing.

And the letter was signed by Linda Kwak. Quack goes the duck.
So you mean that Verizon can give me access anywhere in the universe for that price?
No, the OS isn't "enhanced", it's "bloated" with unnecessary software that may even be a security hazard.
Aldous Huxley, George Orwell and even Ray Bradbury predicted the world that we are steaming in to. Even Max Headroom is to some extent surpassed.

For anyone in a sensitive kind of work it might be a bit of a problem to be exposed on any social media.
This - and classic burial is a composting method - as long as the bodies aren't embalmed and buried in simple wooden caskets.

How many Science Fiction stories have already been written on this subject?
It should be sufficient to declare as prior art. Precedence - see waterbed invented by Heinlein and placed in the Public Domain by him.
After the Apple problems highlighted by Louis Rossmann I'm not surprised that customers are careful these days.
Basically everywhere except in China since in China ownership of a company shall be Chinese.
