It would be impossible to build today by any means. Not because of any technological problem. Physically it could be done rather quickly, as others have posited. The problem is that you could never combine the political and economic will to complete it.

It’s the same reason it would be easier to colonize Mars than to fix climate change. There’s a half dozen robots on Mars that will do whatever you tell them. On Earth, there’s 7 billion assholes who think they have a better idea of what to do.

Don’t worry, the political upheaval caused by mass migrations will be more than enough to put the brakes on any global attempt to save the climate.

I’m betting garbage trucks actually end up being first. A half dozen trucks per human monitor sitting back at the station, with two guys in a pickup to run out to any problems.

I heard Hawaii, but that could be completely wrong.

Now I’m feeling called out. I keep having these stacks of if statements that could just be a big ass list of and and and, but then it runs into the debate of how much crap should be in one line of code? Especially knowing, at some point, it’s going to be my dumb ass stepping through trying to figure out why this one edge case is the reason we’re not hitting the inner code.

They broke into shit that had already been broken in to, and removed an intrusion. That’s literally their job.

Because they all hired way too many people right after the pandemic and are just realizing they fucked up.

They’re called laser printers. Ink is for idiots, especially if you only print once in a while.

The next most conservative generation is Gen X. All few dozen of us. Expect those with power to retain it with massive use of wealth to constrain the rules of democracy, rather than numbers of voters.

We might see improvement on some deposition materials after the recent discovery on dolomite crystal formation.

So how much closer does this put us to a space elevator? Assuming mass production and fiber creation was even possible.

Financial stress. Go take a closer look at the crime stats that right wing racists like to hammer the black community with. Then adjust them for poverty rates in the community. All of a sudden the racial divide in violent crime goes away. If anything, poor white men are the most violent, but not by enough to really be significant. The driving factor, by around 10 or 15 to 1, is poverty.

We’re seeing declining standards of living across the country, while technology hides the true depths of it. The whole, you can’t be poor if you have a wide screen TV and a refrigerator, is almost true. It’s just enough to make it look like having no bargaining power, being locked into your zip code, buried in debt, and renting everything you own, somehow represents wealth.

They really needed to listen to their enterprise customers. Windows Phone could have easily taken over as the ‘corporate phone’, if it had any integration at all. With the side benefit that their corporate customers also employ the developers that could build out the apps they needed to create the marketplace.

Instead they tried to take on Apple and Google, in an end user space that had already been thoroughly saturated, with a product that was barely on par.

Liquid in the scientific sense, it’s more of a paste. Lithium hexafluorophosphate(aka LiFPO) mixed with Dimethyl carbonate or Diethyl carbonate which are just there to float the Lithium between the plates without letting it burst into flame from any humidity that might happen to reach in.

Have you read Microsoft manuals?

It’s not the language. ChatGPT is about as useful as a decent code manual. It won’t actually solve any problems for you, but it can show you the general format for doing so.

I did, you did not read what I wrote.

You failed at reading comprehension.

They could claim it’s for easier reporting by dropping WhatsApp, getting rid of texts is blatantly about preventing paper trails.

Text messages have to be turned over for those pesky subpoena’s. Can’t be leaving evidence laying around.
