Just like people keep on waxing how innovative Tesla is, when in fact electric cars were thoroughly explored more than 100 years ago so Tesla is mere copying the innovation of others.
> The U.S. keeps these plants so they can make nuclear weapons very quickly
I highly doubt that. The US has plenty of nuclear weapons. As do Russia and China. The only reason to need more would be if you plan on bombing every city and country on earth.
> But also imagine all the wannabe journalists that would just do character assassinations on long-dead people revered as heroes
That's an easy one. Pretty much anyone of notice living today will be labeled a "savage meat eater" and canceled. They will say "many people were already vegan, why was he/she still eating meat? Clearly a monster. Cancel"
This is a losing game (think halting problem). This exact scenario was played by antivirus software versus malware in the 90s/00s. The antivirus was trying to figure out if the binary did something like modify a file on disk, while the virus was trying to obfuscate that or find innovative ways of doing it.
A isolation/capability solution is the only one that could work, leftpad shouldn't have access to anything but basic CPU compute.
They is overwhelmingly used for plural. See how the wikipedia article starts:
> They is the third-person plural personal pronoun (subjective case) in Modern English.
And only after that:
> Although still controversial,[citation needed] and not officially accepted in formal context,[citation needed] it is also used with singular meaning, sometimes to avoid specifying the gender of the person referred to: see gender neutrality in language.
SEO is one reason, but the reduced attention span of today's people surely is another. People just won't bother figuring out what a "mystery title" book is about.
This is one thing that worried me during the Fukushima disaster, they were quite concerned about the safety of the responders and many things were delayed until they could figure out a way to do them safely.
If things deteriorated even further, a mega-disaster couldn't have been averted since the Japanese wouldn't have sent people to die to do what had to be done.
Well, none of his code is public. Furthermore, on his blog he wrote about a lot of topics - economics, history, politics, crypto contracts, but not even once about a programming topic.
The problem with Szabo is that nobody was able to locate any sort of code written by Szabo - ie, he doesn't seem to know how to program and the first version of Bitcoin is way beyond noob-level - crypto, GUI, distributed networking, ...
I worked at a software company where you were not officially allowed to bring your own keyboard/mouse, but the unofficial policy was that they would look the other way. However they would not support you or help you install it - that was much harder than it sounds, it took me 20 minutes to route the cable.
This is truly one of the best long-cons in the tech industry history. Invest 10 years into creating a browser and get the whole industry and it's developers to love it, push it and develop solely for it, so that you can reap the benefits now. They learned from the best - Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. Even as recently as last year, saying that Google would eventually abuse Chrome market dominance would got heavy downvotes here.
With everybody now having an iPhone and Macbook, they don't feel that exclusive anymore. So they need to up the game, to show they are still a luxury product.
A $50k computer is certainly a good start from this point of view, Apple needs to reassert itself as a status symbol. They need to get the word out far and wide that they are selling a computer with the price of a good car.
If it only were that simple. Airbus in particular has a lot of systems which PREVENT the human from doing things.
One plane actually crashed because the prevention system disabled itself and the pilots believed it was still there to protect them from bad actions on their part:
> caused the autopilot to disconnect, after which the crew reacted incorrectly and ultimately caused the aircraft to enter an aerodynamic stall, from which it did not recover
