Our government is generally rules based.
In 2025, that statement is 100% false.

Or my pet peeve: If they do show the text, it's some ceremonial name for a highway that nobody uses or knows, like the "Honorable Colonel Harland David Sanders Commemorative Memorial Highway" instead of "US Hwy 123".
So the games with the root kits flop?
I don't see much resistance to them in the gaming community at all. A little bit of whining.
I think that the theory is that mercury in the environment is converted to methylmercury by microbial activity, then it bioaccumulates in fish. Presumably, anything that is leaching from fillings is metallic mercury, which is far less toxic than methylmercury.
I've seen claims that the mercury is so firmly bound in the amalgam with silver that your exposure is negligible, but I'm not sure how much I believe that. I've had quite a few worn out mercury fillings replaced over the years, and I always wondered how much of the ground up fillings ends up getting ingested in that process.
Of course, the newer fillings are largely some kind of UV-activated epoxy resin, probably a different exact brew of chemicals for each one. I wouldn't be surprised if someone eventually figures out that some of those chemicals pose risks as well.
What can you do? Not getting your mouth fixed is known to be risky as well. Bacteria cause inflammation that causes your own body to release highly toxic chemicals.
That makes the assumption there'd be a Ukraine at all.
It would have upped the pressure for Russia to take Ukraine before they got the nukes working.
Maybe Russia was too much a mess to do it by that time, maybe not.
They'll just make a kernel stub and an installer like Nvidia did (probably still does?).
Of Linux becomes popular for games due to the performance bump there's no reason to think gamer will be any more resistant to rootkits on it.
I think they should go back to their original pre-CD business plan:
1. Mail out a lifetime supply of free floppy disks to every household in the USA.
2. ???
3. Profit!
It was demonstrated long ago that most all trading markets are chaotic. By definition, you won't see a sign of collapse in sight.
Unlike useful markets, (but similar to 17th century tulips), crypto has no intrinsic value. Therefore, there is no bottom to a potential crash.
Are they smart enough to know to pull those gains out before the tulip market crashes?
I'll know that AI has achieved a major milestone when one of them eventually says:
"Crypto is a strange game. The only winning move is not to play."
He's out here legit saying he wants his company to be 3% of the US economy.
This is crazy.
What warms the ocean more? Greenhouse gasses from power generation for cooling, or just using the ocean directly as a heat sink.
Greenhouse gasses, by orders of magnitude.
The gasses leverage the vast energy available from the sun over a span of decades. The server heat is one and done.
Undoubtedly, the greenhouse gasses released from powering these servers will warm the oceans far more than the servers themselves will.
Once again, that is out. White males are in.
At least ones who bother to keep up with current events.
