Doing that will probably make it near impossible to get serviced, though.

The wording of the headline would be different if it were trying to convey that.

I think it’s a slightly different connotation. “China scientists” infers scientists residing in China while not presuming their ethnicity, while “Chinese scientists” implies their ethnicity but not their location.

EU governments are probably the only path to mainstream adoption for desktop Linux. If they all did it and invested in the features they needed, it could provide a valid option for mainstream office use.

It’s a way for governments to spend more without printing money and driving down the value of their currency.

The integration treaty was sudden and adopted so fast, everyone was really shocked!

Yeah I love the idea that they put orange hitler in a full nelson until he tapped out like the little bitch he is.

I mean, yeah, use public transport. But do it consistently, not just for one day.

Oh I think they can do it for a while… But then they need to start bumping up the profits.

At least we have something to be happy about in this hellscape.

Well, you can’t argue that it wouldn’t work ;-)

I’m not sure AGI would. Maybe ASI. But in the end it’s still humans that would likely have to enact whatever proposals it came up with.

At the end of the day, the future is written by human beings, and unless we have a collective vision of where we are trying to go, the darker forces among us will take control and do as they wish with us.

Despite him being a tech bro and everything, I do think we need more shows like Star Trek these days to show us what a functional future with technology could look like. I think the only examples we see any more in popular culture are dystopian, and I think we are starting to believe that those are the only possible outcomes of the path we are on. Even Star Trek these days is pretty dark.

We need to again try to imagine a world in which the better half of humanity succeeds.

Took me a bit longer on this one than the usual dad joke.

Yes you must try all the phases of ramen to become a true expert:

• Bone dry: I recommend about 60% of a spice packet on this one unless you are feeling spicy!
• Wet but strained: put the noodles in the water and strain them, then put the spice packet in and mix
• soup: you probably do this already. But consider dropping an egg in and mixing it. Or add veggies/green onions/ leftover chicken.

11 years ago. May very well have been less. Apples still probably charging more than that to go from 8 to 16 and I had to buy all 8 and replace both DIMMS.

There’s no way he’s not on the Kremlin payroll one way or the other at this points

My 2009 Mac mini had 8gb of RAM. And it wasn’t even very expensive to do so when I did it in ~2013. Couple hundred bucks max.

I wanted to make a Plan9 joke, didn’t even realize that there were new iterations, cool.
