The main issue with bikes in big cities is the blatant bike-theft problem and the near-impunity that thieves seem to enjoy.

We're probably splitting hair but if your concern is DNS hijacking, then that still applies to pretty much anything else you do with Github, and by the way, most of your creds have already probably been stolen via fake logon portals in that case.

I agree, people should check what they are piping in to sh, but they should also read all of the source code they are pulling and compiling from Github.

Well, you're free to run it the way you want, ultimately, whether you curl or you download any other way, you're still running something from the Internet.

Gotta love how Musk brings actual practical solutions to issues that leftists are usually more concerned about, they must hate it. :o)

Same with SpaceX bringing an end to reliance on Russia. Without him, space industry would still be dangerously reliant on Putin.

Grotesque. We get it, it is never enough, and indeed, as long as you don't stay on the spot, you are indeed probably consuming something that has a CO2 footprint.

Maybe because ultimately that means the extinction of the human race ? Dude, not all humans hate themselves to the point of wanting to disappear.

They have a cat.

If they had "always been that way", by definition, you wouldn't be here, because you (or I, or everyone else) being here is the result of a society producing descendants, which itself is the consequence of a society producing couples.

Well, if a recruiter does not hire enough blacks or women for IT, that's discriminatory, and social warriors want quotas.

Why doesnt that apply similarly to young women "discriminating" young men ? Shouldn't we need quotas here ?

Does that logic work for Blacks for instance ?

It's called "progress".

Correct. But that's not a reason to voluntarily let others use weapons against us. This behavior that you exhibhit, of being a willingful victim, is one of the issues that foreign powers are glad to exploit.

The Cybersecurity concern is valid, and good to address it.

Now on to how TikTok is a weapon clearly aimed at turning a whole generation of kids into zombies. It baffles me that "the West" is blind to that.

Wrong. Scientists trying to get funding for projects exploring things like the impact of sun radiations on earth climate, have a very hard time because of the political rules that are enforced in terms of what's allowed to be looked at and what's not.

It is good to see physicists "spar", and have big fights of ideas. That's how science progresses. There no single jump that happens without such fights, whether it's about the earth being round, about the ultraviolets, the tectonics or anything else.

It's only when it comes to the global warming that such a diversity of wild ideas is frowned upon or even almost considered illegal. ;)

Skipping a meal is not really what the trendy "intermittent fasting" really is... Intermittent fasting is fasting for 24h or even a few days ONCE IN A WHILE, that's quite far away from what's described here.

It's a bit like red wine, every week there's a new study proving the opposite of what the previous study said.

Excellent news, even the most advanced AI can still be hacked it seems.

Can't help put make a comparison between that denial and denial of increasing temperature measurements on the planet....

Pretty poor article. In summary:

"the universe is big -> it's unlikely aliens can visit -> so it's not aliens".

Thanks for that, that's ground-breaking.

Yes, it's obvious that in a country where between your childhood and now, the currency has been divided by several thousands; your passport only allows you to travel to Venezuela and North Korea; you risk your life by not wearing a hijab; government jams signals so that you don't get the BBC or any western TV; women in prison are raped so that "they don't die as virgins and go to heaven"; etc, etc,etc... it's clear, in that situation, that if the people are fed up, it can only be as a result of a CIA operation !

One is right to be careful about another state collapsing, after the failures of Irak, Syria, Lybia, etc....

However, I also think the Iranian situation (and unlike many commenters I know Iran, have been there many times, and more) is different because there already is a quite successful diaspora of Iranians ready to take back control of the country.

Iranians have managed to somehow maintain a decent amount of infrastructure despite the sanctions and the general adversity (they did not become Cuba). There is an inherent vitality within the Iranian people which makes me very confident that once the islamists are rooted out, their country will spring back to being a working economy thanks to its intellectually very capable people and its diaspora.

Well done boys!

I love Gentoo. Used to be my daily distro up to 5/6 years ago, I moved to Arch out of laziness because it was not manageable to always recompile a lot of packages. I still have the same PC than at that time and from time to time wondering if I should give it a go again.

Not at all. The tic-tac was recorded by radars; infrared from the plane; and seen by two experienced USAF pilots.

Bad, we need to avoid monopoly at all costs on the Internet...

I don't need a "peer-review scientific study" or "50year-long statistical study on 10,000 people", and then a peer-review to review the peer-review, to know that if you can't go to hospitals for 2 years, you'll be more ill as a result.

" Lots of people do in fact need to gain weight to become healthier"

>> No. A few people. Very few. Lots need to lose weight to be healthier.

Well, in that case, the BBC article is "anecdote unsupported by research".

There is no NHS in France or Germany, yet, the same phenomenon is observed. So, yes, deal with it, the common point is the COVID and the lockdown. Does it really require a high IQ to understand that closing hospital and doctors appointments for 2years will result in undiagnosed/untreated diseases ?!
