Since we’re whipping out credentials, I’ve been in IT almost 30 years and I can tell you it’s not going to work like that.

I’m not the person you were replying to but I’ve also been in tech since 1996 and lots of things have worked just like that. All successful technology starts off barely functional and improves over time until nearly all members of it’s intended audience can successfully use it.

As an example in 1996 setting up a router was a specialty task that required training, by 2016 any moron could buy one off the shelf and have it running in an hour. As another example basic HTML was a specialty skill in 1996 but by 2003 you could do it with Microsoft Word. Smartphones are another example, they went from barely functional Windows Mobile and Blackberry devices which required ridiculous amounts of back end skill to deliver email to iPhones and Androids that any numskull can use for nearly anything at all.

My point is this; too many people are stuck on the “What use is a newborn baby?” question without realizing that the infant is growing-up at blinding speed. It’s also the first technology to carry the promise, real or not, of self-improvement when it reaches sufficient maturity. Assuming that happens all further improvement will be increasingly automatic and happen even faster.

AI isn’t going away and it’s only going to get better as time goes on.

A comment up above says that in Canada the age limit is 50.

Yep it’s tiring but comment aged link milk because the very next day a bill was introduced to Congress.

Not even close, both of these projects are wildly deficient for that kind of use and the effort required to solve those deficiencies would at least 10x if not 20x the cost.

That doesn’t mean they are useless, I can definitely see some eyebrow raising asymmetric possibilities.

If you’re seriously interested in this DIY Radar System I strongly suggest you grab a full copy from Github and put it on local storage as I doubt it’s going to remain up for long.

David wasn’t God’s Son nor was he a Christian, but you knew that already.

Even the Apostles got it twisted while Jesus was alive. Luke 9:51-56 is relevant here.

You’re not wrong but I was specifically referencing the ground based drones with my comment. Apologies that wasn’t clear.

China’s SPR is the largest in the world, by a lot, but it’s also the world 2nd largest consumer of oil and it imports almost 70% of what it uses.

The US SPR is about 1/3rd the size of China’s but it is also a net exporter with a surplus of around 2.4 Mbbl/s per day.

It’s generally accepted that China has a large enough SPR to cover about 120 days. The US is essentially limitless since, at least on paper, it produces more than it needs.

I viewed some analysis over the weekend proposing that China would run into petroleum problems in mid-June if something doesn’t change with the Iran situation.

I’m not the person who made the claim but Device Fingerprinting has been around for decades and Hardware ID is certainly part of that.

“You shall know them by their fruits.” - Jesus Christ

Neither Trump nor Vance are Christians.

Until the drones start getting used on civilians. Which is absolutely going to happen and soon.

Two States, California and Washington, are not “The US” any more than France and Germany are the European Union. They are important no doubt but they do not themselves represent the entire entity.

a German truck was a work of art compared to a Jeep

Was it though? A lot of WWII German equipment and practices have developed a myth of quality that isn’t remotely true. You hear a lot about how great Panzer tanks were but rarely do you hear that their transmissions tended to last 200 miles or less. Meanwhile the stupid Sherman had cross cut gears so it was way quieter and lasted way longer.

We also tend to ignore that German logistics were absolutely bonkers. While American’s were unloading pallets with forklifts and putting them on trucks Germans were unloading loose bags / boxes by hand and putting them on pack animals (because they didn’t have trucks). Even worse the same dudes unloading the cargo were often combat units!

Diesel at $5 a gallon is going to concern him a lot in a couple of months. In fact it’s going to be a very great concern for the entire Republican Party.

It would be nice if you put the country in the title.

I happen to agree with you but Rule 4 sort of prevents that.

Our kids still get up to things online that we wish they wouldn’t.

Remove the word “online” and that sentence is not only still true but it’s been true for Millennia. It doesn’t matter what our beliefs as parents are, our children will always do things we wish they wouldn’t.

I lean hard on letting them have the freedom to make choices but sometimes I think I’ve made a mistake.

From one parent to another I honestly believe that that you are doing parenting correctly! You can’t raise children to be responsible and mature adults if they aren’t free to make decisions until after they leave the home. We give them space and training commensurate with their age and ability while they are still kids so that we can teach them and pick them up when they fall.

Isolating kids from “not approved” voices is a key dream of the Heritage Foundation and the other think-tanks of big tech, corporations, and Christo-fascism.

These kind of age verification laws meant to silence “not approved” voices are happening in BLUE states. Are you seriously arguing that the Heritage Foundation and “Christo-fascism” have significant voices in places like California, New York, Colorado, Illinois, and Michigan?

Big Tech is involved because they are tired of getting their balls sued off and are trying to find a way to shield themselves from liability. If it were up to them they’d stick with the system that has been in place for the last 25 years.

No Clue how anyone can support letting the US government of propaganda, queer erasure, burying unpleasant history;have MORE control over kids.

Look around you bub, that stuff ain’t being done by the US Government. It’s being done by the States themselves and in this context it’s being done by the so called Progressive Liberals.

They’re so Progressively Liberal, or Liberally Progressive, that their brains have fallen out of their ass.

The Internet is meant to be anonymous and have free speech. I mean the US definition of speech too not the ridiculous “Free when we like the message” bullshit that so many simpletons seem to prefer.

I don’t think there are.

My Son will graduate from College this May, was recruited to a company a year ago, and will start work in June. You will not be hired for his kind of work without a Degree either, at least not in the United States. The jobs are out there and many of the better ones require the Accreditation.

And what is the actual work requirement to copy-paste you post to your twitter?

Zero, there’s plenty of software out that there allows you to write once and post everywhere. This isn’t about declining engagement either since they are still reaching literally MILLIONS of people every year.

This decision was reached because of Xitters owner, no other reason makes sense.

No one gives a shit who the Trump Administration chooses as a scapegoat; we’re all interested in just two things:

1. A full release of all the files as commanded by Congress.
2. When the prosecutions of Epstein’s clients will start.

That’s it and that’s all. The rest of this is just noise intended to keep people distracted.
