That was the result of social engineering though, not iCloud being compromised. AFAIK it was a phishing scam, asking the victims for their usernames and passwords.

That fact still messes me up every time! Like, I know very well that 52! is a ridiculously huge number. And still, it feels like "but it's just 52 cards, give me an afternoon and I'll do it, how many combinations can there be?"...
The Hippocratic Oath is from between the fifth and third centuries BC, and its relevance has long since been superseded by modern ethical guidelines.
> Suffering can be alleviated, and it should be society's job to help patients
There is a lot of horrible suffering that can not be alleviated unless the doctor induces a coma and keeps the patient in a state of more or less total unconsciousness for weeks or months until death inevitably occurs. I agree we should help patients as much as possible, but there's a line where perhaps the only help we can give, and the only help the patient asks for, is a painless exit. Perhaps future drugs and treatments will eliminate the need for euthanasia, but we are not there yet.
I don't want to be human! I want to see gamma rays! I want to hear X-rays! And I want to - I want to smell dark matter! Do you see the absurdity of what I am? I can't even express these things properly because I have to - I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid limiting spoken language! But I know I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws! And feel the wind of a supernova flowing over me! I'm a machine!
Not a crazy idea – that is called logic. Which is a field of philosophy. Philosophy and math intersect more than many people think.
"Anyone can sit around thinking about things all day" is like saying "anybody can sit and press keys on a keyboard all day".
I took a semester of philosophy at uni, perhaps the best invested time during my years there and by far more demanding than most of what followed. 100 % recommend it for anyone who wants to hone their critical reasoning skills and intellectual development in general.
Complete proteins contain all nine essential amino acids in consistent amounts. Most of those are stuff like fish, poultry and dairy, whereas grains or vegetables usually don't contain all the needed amino acids.
So if you're on a veg diet, mixing and matching those protein sources is recommended to get you all the amino acids your body needs.
Also, it as it is far easier to buy a phone with an installment plan than to get a cash loan, it's very common to see brand new, unboxed phones sold on the second-hand market. People sell the phone for cash and use the installment plan as an interest-free loan payment.
As someone who frequently goes to concerts, I can absolutely testify that the audience can vary a lot between cities. You can usually tell if the band/artist is genuinly enjoying their performance or if they are doing the bare rehearsed minimum.
If you read/watch interviews with touring musicians, all have stories about how "Tokyo was crazy", "London was boring" etc – even though the set list was the exact same every evening.

> The nurse had tucked a total of 13 metal weights into the pockets of the vest, and it was these weights that pulled him into the scanner.
> If a ferromagnetic object becomes stuck to the magnet, do not initiate a quench. Quenching will not necessarily release the object and can be extremely costly due to helium loss and potential system damage.
Alarm went off, security guards came running – and were also pulled in… In the end it took hours to get everybody out, the nurse and one or two of the security guards were injured, and the MRI machine was damaged.
Fewer services would run locally. The typical user would probably not even care (or know) if their photos were stored on the phone or in the cloud.
I don't think that much would change at first, since everything else would become a bottle neck. 16K HDR streaming? Sure, but how many people would have a 16K HDR screen? Lossless music streaming? Already here, more or less, and does not require 1Tb/s.
Over time, everything would change of course, probably for the worse (for users). Mega corporations would be in posession of all user data, use it for AI training, ad targeting and all kinds of data extraction we can only dream of.
There is no lack of stupidity, however, at the system level. The state owns the rails and procures service from private actors who then manage the traffic more or less successfully. The booking systems are chaotic, the prices are high. It is sometimes cheaper to fly domestically, even though the door-to-door time is longer.
Imagine if the U.S. could get their rail network together... Like really invest in proper, normal, modern trains. Not the tech bro vacuum tube nonsense.
Contact deprivation in infants is a thing though.

A report from Los Alamos Scientific Lab (1979) draws the same conclusion:
For example, a brother of [Hemmerly] also died of leukemia (and three other siblings are believed to have had cancer). This makes it likely there is a familial component to the development of the disease.
Pretty much exactly so: https://youtu.be/ugkjNPH1J-4
Anyway, frequency selection was a manual process, and while the best sound quality was found on frequencies where no radio stations transmitted, it was fully possible to dial in an already occupied frequency. Power output was low, but strong enough to overpower anything in a 10-15 m radius, forcing nearby cars in a traffic jam to listen to my music.
There's a lot of comments here discussing how generative AI will deal with this, which is really interesting.
But if somebody's actual goal was to pass off a doctored/AI-generated image as authentic, it would be very easy to just correct the eye reflection (and other flaws) manually, no?
Naya just perfectly summarized 80 % of the MacRumors forum in two sentences.

Sounds about right. Historically, the military culture is obviously deeply rooted in patriarchy. Men are to defend their countries, in the same way that 'women and children' have been supposed to go first into lifeboats.
There are some arguments to be found in the above mentioned Rostker v. Goldberg, and in the legal debate that followed:
Once the combat issue is put in proper perspective and the evidence of women's recognized ability to perform military functions is assessed, it becomes apparent that an exclusion of women from a draft registration requirement would be the product of the archaic notion that women must remain 'as the center of home and family.'
and
Congress followed the teachings of history that if a nation is to survive, men must provide the first line of defense while women keep the home fires burning.

Some (to me) surprising finds, like Paris (8.8%) vs NY (13.5%).
