Indeed, it makes zero sense.

Broadcom, in its infinite wisdom, has decided to redefine the term "zero day".

"Broadcom defines a zero-day security patch as a patch or workaround for Critical Severity Security Alerts with a Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) score greater than or equal to 9.0."

So for Broadcom, zero day just means "really bad".

So, who will they elect as the next Pedophile-in-Chief?

The vast majority of flights are not intercontinental.

The main problem with limited payload is that you need a pilot or 2 per payload. Eliminate the pilots and this problem goes away.

That obviously still leaves the range problem, but there are a lot of flights that take less than half an hour. They have pretty terrible fuel economy today, so the savings from going electric are huge.

Hydrogen is not practical to store for an extended time, like on a long haul ship. If you want to store it, turn it into ammonia and burn that.

However, there are literal deposits of hydrogen sitting around that you can drill into and get close to free hydrogen. Yet no one does that. That by itself shows that the "hydrogen economy" is a lie.

Come on, we are on Slashdot. The site may be going downhill, but still no one will fall for stuff like "it takes a lot of extra energy to move that extra mass" compared to what an ICE wastes.

Contrails are a problem unfortunately. The weather was considerably nicer after 9/11 and during COVID flight restrictions, and the contrails themselves contribute quite a bit of warming, possibly half of the total climate effect from flying.

Hydrogen trains are dead too.

After my first job, no one has ever asked about my degree. They ask me about my work.

We have a society where everyone wants to be right; we need a society where everyone wants to be correct.

and plenty that don't.

I think you will find that's a non issue. Since is solvable.

I"m in a union, and I am a white collar employees. COMputer programmer and data analysis. Our organization also has a union for business analyst.
There have been teacher unions for decades.

A union is jsut a group of people with a contract around working right, policy, and wages. Can be any group.

There is no "liberal indoctrination", it jsut appears that way because conservative consider anything counter to their myopic view liberal.

In order to have a meritocracy, all people must have the same start. SOme oney, same education opportunities.
Of course, there is no real definition to meritocracy either.

Remember, the term 'meritocracy' was created as a pejoratively.

IT also relies on whos merit? Bezos is a billionaire, but it was from him, it was his workers. Should the people who created his site, the engineers the built it for him have the real merit?

Some people hear a word and then jsut assume it's good without actually reading up, and that needs to stop.
