We need to seriously think about at least mirroring stuff like Wikipedia and maybe the Internet Archive outside the US. Ideally in multiple different countries on different continents.

It's no small task but things can go bad, anywhere.

Just wait until they get rocks back from Mars first.

I was thinking about going that route too. Maybe some Sonys because they have noise cancelling for travel too, but I can't decide been cans and in ear ones.

You need a decent surround sound system that reproduces the centre channel clearly and ideally at a higher volume than the rest, because that's where the speech is. You also need a room with suitable acoustics, or a fancy sound system that can adapt to yours.

It also helps to be on the younger side because your hearing just naturally deteriorates as you get older, no matter what you do to protect it.

Kinda. China is playing the role of adult in the room very well here, trying to take over the role that the US is vacating as a global economic superpower and trading partner.

And the jobs are still not coming back to the US. The phones will be assembled in India, from parts sourced from China and Taiwan.

I use Firefox and the sad thing is that it's actually a pretty good browser on desktop.

The two big issues at the moment are that quite a few sites break with it because they were only tested with Chrome and derivatives, and that the Android version is still quite weak. Now to be fair the Android version does finally seem to be getting to a decent state. Some stuff is still painful like tab management, but for the most part it's usable, compatibility issues aside.

But what will happen then? Firefox has been dying for years and I can't see Mozilla turning it around, or anyone else adopting it. Safari is crap and nobody wants to tie themselves to Apple's mast. Everything else is based on Chrome.

Browsers require a lot of investment to develop, which is one of the reasons that Mozilla is failing with Firefox. There are not many other companies that can throw enough resources at it. Even Microsoft gave up and just adopted Chrome.

It says "community gas emissions", not national or global.

When you remove industrial processes, air transport, and other stuff outside the community, outside of people just living in a flat or house and doing local stuff like shopping or going to work/school, it's probably about right.

I notice you don't actually have a rebuttal though.

Yeah it's the fans that you can't seem to get. Nobody here sells box fans, all ours are round or some odd shape.

The two big problems with nuclear are the cost and the fact that it takes so long to build.

And while you are waiting for it instead of transitioning to renewables, those fossil fuel plants keep going to act as a placeholder for the nuclear. 20 years later your lungs have accumulated more soot and the nuclear plant still hasn't come online.

We have a solution to this, it works, it scales, it's proven technology, and for once it's also the cheapest and fastest option.

The 8 Bit Guy does address that in his video, by pointing out that the car was on Autopilot, not Full Self Driving, in that test. A subtle distinction perhaps, and questionable how much difference it should make to forward collision detection.

Someone else repeated the test with FSD and it seems to depend on the version you have. Older cars with V3 hardware will crash into it, newer ones with V4 will stop.

It's a well known issue with Tesla systems. Certain things confuse the vision system, and they have tried to mitigate it with new hardware, but it's still not perfect. It's also rather unfortunate for people with older cars, who get a flawed and dangerous product. Musk promised free upgrades, but is now not offering them on the basis that they are only needed to keep you from dying and otherwise the system "works".

Young people have been lied to a lot and are looking for some better advice. YouTube may not be good advice, but given that the old "work hard and you will be rewarded" and "get a degree and you will be a high earner" stuff turned out to be decades out of date, you can see why they are looking for alternatives.

Don't worry, soon there will be plenty of well paid mining jobs available. People can go work down a pit.
