The National Guard would go to stop violence, wouldn't it?

Pretty interesting how people even here try to invert the situation for political reasons.

Only if you think that there are only Americans in this world.

Hint: there are non-Americans too.

Downvotes? HN really thinks there are only Americans on this planet? Of dear.

Sadly, there is no possible migration path. Because text is the default "mode".

No, not really.

But normal people have been sufficiently scared, so that they "care" about privacy.

For example "Facebook bad" -- but everybody uses WhatsApp.

When you mention that its the same company, people don't care. The important thing is that they can tell their friends that they don't use Facebook, because "Facebook bad".

The "Trump personality cult" that I see most often is the one you practice. Kind of a "reverse cult", where you are so focused on "not following" a person that it hinders rational thought.

Pretty interesting phenomenon.

And they were not considered by NASA for the moon lander project.

And they lost the race against SpaceX for crew transport to the ISS (with no ETA for certification for their crew transporter).

Not really. Spying among friendly nations is actually desired. Because it creates and improves trust.

Of course, that excludes spying to steal intellectual property.

I am surprised how people can still have this simplistic, lazy view. Including most "journalists".

Anyways, by downvoting you already showed that you don't care about open discussions. Good luck with that.

I think that's just symptoms of the real problem: the extremely profit oriented media industry.

Senselessly creating and reporting on "conflicts" and "scandals" makes them the most money. Trump is just playing their game.

It's pretty disturbing how you put "immoral" in between "false" and "illegal", as if it was just as bad.

Then there was FfOS and firing people for "wrong" opinions and other dumb decisions.

Mozilla destroyed itself due to terrible and politicized leadership.

I just hope that a Rust foundation is created soon, before the language goes down together with Mozilla.

I used Ff since the early Phoenix days. Sadly, some ten years ago, the organization was taken over by the wrong people. And now, it's a sjw group that cares more about politics than anything else. It's really a shame, because the world very much needs a second major browser engine. Just that these people and their political games destroyed the one organization that could have developed it.

Mozilla? I guess the most important step for them to fix the internet is to fire people when they dare to have a "wrong opinion" ten years ago.

An organization that uses that kind of violence against political opponents will never "fix" the internet.

Because 1 kg to orbit costs 5000 USD.

How about a computer? It has if else statements too.

Because it's a pile of if-else statements shuffled until it was able to perform a single specialized thing. Any housefly would by a thousand times as "conscious".

Not at all.

It just means some people poked a pile of a bazillion if-else statements long enough, until the desired result came out. I believe everyone here knows the xkcd I am referring to.

Still, I think it's an interesting result. But, as someone on Fridman's podcast said the other day: recent advances in AI have all been thanks to advances in computing power, not any new ideas. The future if AI seems to depend on Moore's Law, more than anything.

> As a EU resident i wasn't ever informed of an EU Green Deal etc

Its the EU. Remember the last elections? When after winning the elections, the original candidate for presidency was removed, and Merkel put one of her buddies into the position? Because f* democracy apparently.

So why would you think, the EU bureaucracy would care to inform the population? We are ere to pay taxes, nothing else.

Wrong again. In developing countries, a majority of people live in the countryside. That's one thing that differentiates those countries from developed countries.

But that's not really important, because even if only 20% of households used wood/coal for cooking, it is very much noticiable.

Not really. Wood or coal stoves are still very much in use in villages. At least that's what I saw living in many developing countries for the past two decades.

Btw, burning biomass would not change the problem. Wood and charcoal is biomass too.

I wonder if there is a browser add-on for that...?

That leads to the next question: why would Corona-stay-at-home stop people from cooking food or heating their homes?

Not really, it totally contradicts the made-up point.

I used to use torrents a lot and always for legitimate data transfers.

Iirc NYT has been blocked in China for about 10 years, since that report about Wen Jiabao's family's money.

Neutralink will be one of the most exciting things in the decades to come.

Plans are to install the first chips with over 1000 connectors within a year.

What's more dangerous to free countries is that China is actively manipulating the information you find in Wikipedia and other collections of knowledge.

It sounded more like an accurate historical observation.

Weird comment...

I suck at pool, and I know it.

After three beer, I still suck at pool, but I don't care.

So yeah, I play better.

Shanghai GF was built in time, for example.

Though, I guess in this case it's to put some pressure on Texan government burocracy to hurry up with permits etc.

Over here at Giga Berlin, the local government issued temporary permits extremely quickly (for German standards) but it takes still longer to get all the paperwork done than it took to actually built Giga Shanghai.
