In melbourne australia, we have been preserving our beaches with rocks forever, at least since the 1930's. We were losing 20m every 10 years, not 10m per year.
I dont think this is a new concept.

The greatest decline occurred during the social media era, when most kids were taught about how to avoid alcohol and drug use. I guess social media is useful.

It's obvious what these " strange equipment" does. Talk about retro hardware. All of this was out of date by 1990.
If the USA armed forces really didn't understand, I would be worried!

Re:Intel Plans Thousands of Job Cuts in Face of PC Slowdown
on Wednesday October 12, 2022 @02:27AM (#33173566)
The cause is the international economic downturn/ high inflation, combined with a collapse in cloud computing orders.
Around 30%-40% of PC sales were going to cloud compute. This is slowing.

We should reduce noise controls, because people actually work better with more noise.!

Re:Typical Chinese adult is now richer than the typical European adult

This is unsurprising given that china is ocd about money(wealth) leaving china mainland.
The trick to remember is that china had set up government run shopping or purchasing unions, that allow everyone to buy things cheaper, but only Chinese products.
The Chinese government regularly boasts that Chinese citizens effectively earn 20% more due to these unions, and describe it like capital gains that will help everyone year on year.

Remember the elite commando, air rangers, s.a.s & navy seals from many countries are in the Ukraine. with their drones etc.
They compete with a Russian force that of 18 year olds completing compulsory National service.
At least 35,000 to 50,000 foreign personel vs 100,000 Russian amateurs.

Omg!
You cant derive science from first principles and give up all the physics/maths techniques used in the last 200 years.
They didn't even take into account the error would increase is the you added more time derivatives.
