You guys are worshiping this boat but the voyage was a failure, the sail powered cargo vessel failed to cross the Atlantic on sail power.

We STARTED with sail powered cargo ships and there is a reason we moved on from sail power. An electric powered boat that makes of omnidirectional wind, solar, and uses and inner and outer shell to capture wave power as rotational energy in flywheels... now that will work, during the day, during the night, in fair weather, and in bad weather and can be built with resiliency in mind.

Amazing considering she didn't take the photograph OR manage to figure out the structure herself.

He didn't 'steal' anything and she did not identify the structure at all, let alone a year prior.

Yes and you are right.

First, as I said, I'm in security so being paranoid is my job. Second, you have no idea who I perform security for...

Also a safe room is not a safe; it's a room where you hide from thieves and kidnappers.

Yup and who knows what sort of side channel capabilities can be teased out of this data. Ping a couple surfaces and diff to improve resolution and suddenly the device can use a wall like a diaphragm and read audio or similar types of attack. I'm speculating on possibilities but these things are real attacks in 3 letter agency portfolios. One guy called me paranoid, setting aside that I mentioned I was in security and thus it is my job, I'm not the only one who might buy a vacuum. Would it be paranoid for a senator to be concerned? What about the white house cleaning staff? The pentagon?

Amazon? I very much doubt this data goes to Amazon; China is more likely. As a security professional I'd rather my vacuum didn't send data to the chinese state which informs them of where I installed the safe room in my house, or that I installed a safe room and who knows what other data and features it picks up when 3d scanning the room.

You've got the 'if you've got nothing to hide' attitude but in real life people are not only corrupt but fuckups, tests and processes accepted by authorities and courts don't actually work as claimed, including the ones coming from science, biotech, and forensics. Data mining seems to tell someone all about you but if you know details personally and have someone review this data they will come to mostly wrong conclusions AND have evidence to back it up. Ever look at the google tracking data on detail level? It'll show you going all sorts of places you didn't go and the more urban the area the more this occurs. So the best way to avoid others fucking up intentionally or not is to never give them the opportunity. And if you actually do have something to hide you aren't required to want to get 'caught' either and have every right to try to avoid it.

Unless of course you've changed them... which we are all free to do in our homes anytime we like.

"His supporting Trump has done more damage than he's done good."

Awww, you are only triggered because you aren't just someone taking the pill, you are part of the infection.

Actually if you hold that position you are probably a fascist with ideology nearly identical to the Nazi's who misunderstands them and calls yourself anti-fascist. ;) Luckily you are part of a dying infection that the world is slowly killing off.

Yup, he was always a human doing the best he could and when buying twitter and supporting Trump he was fighting evil. Bluesky is a dedicated echo chamber for evil though.

Is this a shocker to Gen Z or something because older folks are well aware that virtually all unofficial files which don't come from an official or trusted source are malware. How do you think we survived in a world where 99% of the material on our systems came from pirate bay?

"It's 20% of their solar panel exports, not 20% of their exports."

Yes... that's what we were talking about. Do I need to keep saying solar if I mention panels as well? As for the rest of your comment I can't get through all the hate speech and venom to see if there is a point buried in it somewhere. It almost sounds like you are saying that China losing 5% of their exports to the US somehow hurts the US economy instead of that of China.

"I guess that's why Trump's approval rating is down by 15%, with only 40% approving vs 55% disapproving: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.economist.com%2Finte... [economist.com] . Oh, wait..."

That isn't 'down 15%', your source says UP 0.3% but it's also cherrypicked low poll on a POTUS who has consistently under polled, most polls show far more favorable ratings and his ratings have been incredibly solid. Normally a POTUS at this point has a substantial drop relative to when elected but Trump has held steady, well within the margin of error of any poll from his favorability when he won by a landslide.

"Umm... Trump is ALREADY in his SECOND term."

Selectively quoting me doesn't make the part where I explained the reason I said 2nd disappear no matter how much you'd like to pretend it does.

"then it will be just one more in a long list of examples where he has broken the law, pissed on the Constitution"

Right, except that the constitutional law experts who actually make that determination aren't you or me and it's actually your position which pisses on the Constitution and your position which is fascist.

First you don't think 20% of their total exports is a massive blow to their economy? Second, the US is exporting energy to Europe and pushing international policy which is reducing THEIR import of Chinese technology as well. Finally, the democrats had pushed legislation that would have triggered TRILLIONS in purchases of renewables which Trump and the conservatives have dismantled. China definitely was expecting that money.

It's important to remember that China has massive LOCAL shadow debt with massive interest while having virtually no effective ability to tax internally due to massive cuts to appease the population and rampant corruption. They are almost entirely dependent on taxation of international trade to pay their unofficial debts [owed to literally anyone who would pay because there is no tax revenue to pay for all the services they are supposed to provide] and they've triggered a trade war which has decimated their trade revenues.

Despite this sort of propaganda its doubtful if they can survive Trump's term without a soviet style collapse and no matter what people want to push the numbers are clear; Trump IS bringing people together and unifying America as they all shift neutral or MAGA and the far left is abandoned, it's gone from half to less than 18% in less than a year. This won't end when Trump leaves office whether the obstruction and rebellion in his first term wins him a second term in 2028 or not.
