No. 1 upgrade for future Ford cars: A switch to cut off the microphone.

Name and shame that crappy backwards university.

So they noticed that it is time to get out of the bog before they start to stink?

Or make is exactly the size on the picture, where the mammoth fits in a petri dish.

That’s why you have methods of writing like 10^x.

They will be called “variables” in the future, and scientists will try to figure out how they tick. And: They were seen as constants for a sufficientyl long time, so still treating them like constants won’t hurt, as the value will probably only vary over long reaches of time or unlikely/uncommon circumstances like relativistic speeds.

We treat g = 9.81m/s², well knowing that this changes depending on height and location. But this value is totally sufficient for everyday purposes, and no bridge will ever collapse just because of local derivations from 9.81. The precise local value of g is only of relevance for a very small range of applications.

Apart from that, their Russian attacker does not give a flying f-ck about international law from the start either, so after quite some illegal events (rape, torturing/killing POWs, shelling and bombing hospitals and schools), there is no reason to hold back any longer. It would just enable the Russians to maim and kill more Ukrainian civilists.

Even in the US, science is mostly metric. But most US people are not exactly the scientific kind…

If a company cannot do business without breaking the law it simply is a criminal organisation. RICO act, anyone?

They can’t hide if they have presence in or provide for Brasil/EU.

Well, there are quite some profiles doing nothing but spreading hate and misinformation in ways that exceed the limits of free speech, and blocking them would be a good way to stay within the law. Many European countries have quite strong opinions on people spreading Nazi propaganda, for example. Or call for committing crimes or bodily harm. The EU demands removal of such post and even accounts, but X is getting slower and more reluctant in following the laws. I think, banning X in the EU is overdue.

Luckily, I was not ingrained by my first programming language like that, or my coworkers would strangle me.

I started with BASIC, which allowed only two letters for variable names…

The handful of people so addicted and desperate for xitter that they turn to TOR to get their daily dose of poison can probably just be ignored.

Lets hope the EU will follow soon. Brazil leads the way!

Just remove Windows. One problem less on the list.

Nothing special. It was a natural progression to move from UNIX, Solaris, SunOS, and VMS to Linux.

Does the American law still not have an auto-recuse system that does not even put you on a case of a company you own stock of?

I would not mind if my countries’ judges grew the same kind of brass balls that the Brazilain Judge sports.

Will those Astronauts get overtime pay?

Just imagine what they would face in Europe, where workers even have rights!
