>If I could clone you, body and mine, this instanct and set your team of yous onto some goal, how much defection would you expect?

All's well and good till they have to decide who gets to bang the Mrs.

My takeaway from this thread is that C programmers are completely insufferable.

I wish Musk/Bezos/Branson et al would spend their billions on colossal space telescopes rather than Mars vanity projects. Imagine being able to image the surface of an exoplanet...

Thems fightin words.

There's MyHDL. Turns Python into a hardware description and verification language:

That depends on the Georgia runoffs in January. If the Dems win those two seats, then along with Harris's tie breaking vote they would have a senate majority.

I remember something like this in the movie Minority Report (2002).

Bottom line:

"With the new database-based science, there is often no moment when the complex becomes simple enough for us to understand it. The model does not reduce to an equation that lets us then throw away the model. You have to run the simulation to see what emerges. For example, a computer model of the movement of people within a confined space who are fleeing from a threat--they are in a panic--shows that putting a column about one meter in front of an exit door, slightly to either side, actually increases the flow of people out the door. Why? There may be a theory or it may simply be an emergent property. We can climb the ladder of complexity from party games to humans with the single intent of getting outside of a burning building, to phenomena with many more people with much more diverse and changing motivations, such as markets. We can model these and perhaps know how they work without understanding them. They are so complex that only our artificial brains can manage the amount of data and the number of interactions involved."

Was expecting more pictures of 60s tech rather than ladies in tight dresses.

As a neutral observer, I have to smile over Americans complaining about the Chinese influencing US culture.

Americans are used to others having to tiptoe around their sensibilities, and now they're finding out what adhering to a foreign culture's value system is like.

This is the fundamental problem with TOR, and by extension, any other anonymity client whose traffic patterns stand out from everybody else's.

Just using it makes you automatically interesting to state actors.
