There's too much legal liability into sending boomers up into space. Besides, imagine being locked in a capsule with a generation that talks loudly on their speakerphone. ugh!

The First Chechen War enters the chat.

Generally 3D printed buildings are garbage. You add the rebar after you print and epoxy it to walls. You can use a lot less concrete with a 3D print, but you don't really save any money compared to just putting some traditional forms up and filling it with concrete. And optionally for insulation (sound and thermal) building with voids, then filling them with a non-structural foam concrete. it's also a chance to handle moisture more effectively than with monolithic concrete, but it's less labor than stacking structural blocks.

I'm not sure that an encyclopedia, while a useful collection of information, is a substitute for a college education. Which should involve more than rote learning, and includes processes and first principles.

There's best in class and there's good enough. We should all already know that Bing is good enough.
What's more interesting, in my opinion, is that a metasearch engine can theoretically outperform a single search engine. And for governments, a small metasearch engine offers a lot of flexibility with curating (or censoring) search engine results without diving fully into investing in building a search engine big enough to be good enough for regular use.

In 1930's Germany, you could say anything you want about the Führer, as long as it was pleasant.

And closing libraries and burning books is only done in the best interest of the public.

Yeah! Fuck freedom of speech. This is America Goddammit!

And from the title I thought they were going to get people to use Dogpile.com or Kagi.com or Mojeek.com. Picking Bing hardly seems like much of a challenge. And from a government's point of view, wrestling with massive tech companies like Microsoft is no easier than it is with Google.

Even children can drive in the US. In some obscure cases as young as 12, but typically at 16. Nearly every household in the US has a car, outside of a few major cities. And if you live in the projects, youknow someone with a car because a taxi isn't going to show up in your neighborhood or pick up anyone of a darker skintone.

He might, but if Tim Apple was at the million dollar a plate dinner at Mar-a-lago, and said nice things while he was there then probably Apple is fine.

Fascist tend to be factional and violent, it leads to a very unstable form of government. Especially as industry is centralized under loyal but incompetent subordinates.

Like a track that is just jokes and ripping on the movie or TV series like MST3K.

The IDE(*) isn't really OSS either. The article is certainly about the C/C++ extension, but most of the other Microsoft extensions (like Pylance) are also "only available in binary form and is released under a Microsoft proprietary license".

* the validity of this statement changes depending on if you're calling the whole distribution an IDE or the Atom component the IDE.

The proprietary freeware IDE with free toolchain has restrictions placed on it by its owner. Almost like it's a commercial product demo rather than an open source project.

Stick with GNU ladies and gentlemen. Or be at the mercy of your vendor.

Immigrate to Spain, enroll your kids into Colegios Privados (international private school). And you'd likely have a net savings versus what public school and property tax cost you in the US. Especially if you aim for some of the more affordable private schools. Not necessarily the best choice for everyone of course.

US private school, with the exception of religious schools, are generally quite expensive compared to what's available abroad.

The promise of school vouchers and charter schools do not work. The results from students are proof of that. And the supporters of character schools were too incompetent to have successful hidden the early metrics, but they are learning. Profit over student success is how those work and we all need to stay the hell away from the idea.

For my friend that lost his parents when he was a minor. I recommend establishing trusts that cover tuition and cost of living on campus. Ideally you should have been putting money into the trust the day you brought them home, but life is busy and it's hard to get these long-term things done with a new baby. Now they your kids are older, it wouldn't hurt to look into trusts or other legal and financial options. As it helped my friend immensely.

Other options is get your kids into a foreign language now. So they can apply to a school outside the US, where it can be cheaper and there are more options available. But the coursework is typically more challenging. But a challenge is kind of what you want from a University, isn't it.

If you're making 300k. Consider organizing your investment portfolio with the help of a Financial Advisor or Private Wealth Management team. Investment goals like how you will leave money to surviving spouse and heirs while minimizing delays and taxes. Or how you might fund retirement while also paying tuition for three college students is another conversation that an FA can handle. Other tips like using an LAL and tax harvesting of losses to keep your investment principle intact during a volatile market was perhaps the biggest advantage I got from a PWM service.
