Prepare your downvotes. Occult books tell that we have all means to nearly stop aging with today's tech and the key is in extracting and using the essence of oxygen; that air at the ground is what dooms us to aging and if we could access something at the top layers of the atmosphere, we'd find the key. Obviously, the books don't specify what that essense really is. If it's atomic oxygen, then it's a very aggressive substance. Ozone, that forms at the high altitudes, isnt health friendly either. What's left is the rather unique property of oxygen atoms - that their nucleus forms a rapidly rotating snake like coil - might be considered that essense, but I'm not sure how to use that to fix aging cells.

Even simpler: Stadia is the remote desktop rebranded. Want to run your own Stadia? Buy a bunch of VMs on some cloud hosting provider: a few for the game server engine and one per user with game client code (those need GPUs); then let users remote desktop into the client VMs. Did I miss anything?

Don't forget to be insanely smart. Otherwise programming skills won't help.

That's why CCP banned them in China.

Most smartphones are made in China, so CCP has access to them at the hardware level. My bet is that tiktok has hacked the human psychology: it's an equivalent of addictive sugary drink spiced with coke; it's a problem by itself, but it's a much bigger problem once we realise who manipulates the us citizens. I see tiktok as a backdoor into democracy: it can sway opinions of the masses or it can run social experiments.

An attempt to delay elections?

Well, you don't really "own" capital, you've "just" earned an authorization to spend some amount per year. It's like a debit card thats auto refilled every year. In the meantime "your" capital is being invested and reinvested by various firms. If you owned a valuable lake and deprived others from using it while you're alive, that would be a different story. But money? Meh, those are completely virtual constructs.

What do you mean? Why wouldn't an HR sue his own employer? Because binding arbitration and the employer will make sure to destroy the reputation of that HR.

Surveillance capitalism to the USA is like heroin to an addict: he thinks he can give up at any time, that he can manage the addiction and find the balance, until he realises that he is a slave to that addiction and can't change anything. The Congress could destroy this "big data is the new oil" business model, but they don't want to give up the money from big tech, they think they can manage this addiction and find a balance between greed and freedom, they find excuses that surveillance is a matter of national security today, but at the end USA will repeat the fate of that addict.

No need to disclose anything: plausible deniability is enough. And "bias" can be fixed by ad-hoc quotas.

It's the same thing. There were posers and those with practical knowledge. Today it's almost entirely clueless posers.

My opinion is irrelevant here. I'm not giving orders to suspend or resume the economy.

They probably know that visible effects of global warming won't manifest themselves until a century later: enough time for them and their kids. They don't care about their hypothetical grandkids. When the world starts collapsing in a century, they expect to have machines to fully replace 99% of the workforce: so most of the populace will fight for scare sources of clean water, while the rich would live somewhere in new Zealand, protected by unapproachable army of machines. That's what I think is their plan. However, I also think it's a naive plan.

If this was indeed such a problem, the world would be on a strict lockdown for next few years. It isn't happening because the expected global warming is too far in the future: too far for the ruling class to care. Downvote all you want.

The "legend" is that every civilization gets buried under a thick layer of earth, so we'd have to dig real deep, hundreds of kilometers deep, to find anything.

This looks like straight from reddit: same vinaigrette of emotionally charged buzzwords.

I think these minivans is a rational and smart move (amoral, but that's another story). The protest is snowballing and there's not enough police-like forces that blindly support the current regime. The administration understands that victory loves preparation and starts preparing now: they normalize the minivans, so people get used to them and won't question this later when millions of such minivans show up on streets. Generic outfit and lack of ID allows to hire just about anyone to work as a police-like force. My bet is that "the minivans force" will get out of control once they realise that nobody is looking after them. On a side note, I know that many rich and wealthy people have expressed a sudden interest to spend an extended vacation in new Zealand a few month ago.

Networking can in fact overturn results of the interview loop. In some cases, the result is known and the interview is arranged to support the case. You may outright fail some questions, and still get a green light from those interviewers.

Eigenquestion is a question that's when answered, turns into the same question, but on a different scale.

This is 1/d^2. Exponential would be 1/2^d.
