If you have used facebook in the past 5 years, you aren't "anti-facebook."

If Google had built nucler power plants 10-years ago, there would be zero emissions. If California had done it instead there would also be zero-emissions, if the federal government had built nuclear power plants we'd also be at zero emissions. If all anti-nuclear people had killed themselves in 1979 we'd be net negative with emissions.

Practically unlimited demand is fine if the source doesn't use fossil fuels to begin with, so I don't see how this is an "AI" problem. It is, of course, a capitalism problem though.

It’s extra dumb because it’s NYC - no Republican was ever gonna be mayor. They’re just all being super racist.

This isn't correct at all, but also Dems in NYC represent the rich and the slumlords, not the people that Zohran represents. Make no mistake there are tons of stories about dems melting down about Zohran as well, and senior Dem leaders in NYC like the Governor, don't support Zohran either.

American Intellectual property laws have been inadequate and damaging to everyone except Disney since Sonny Bono extended their effects to 70 years past the death of the author. It's important to point out that original copyright length was ~7 years. This is just another example of IP laws needing to catch up to the digital age, and not be an excuse for capitalist dragons to horde all of human knowledge away behind licensing fees.

I hope he does. It'll be nothing but a vanity run that will waste a ton of money belonging to the worst people in the world.

The solutions exist and the USA has been aware of those solutions since they invented nuclear power in the 50's. Unfortunately Capitalism doesn't allow long-term planning so almost every time a long-term storage solution has been proposed, or ever funded, a few elections later it get's defunded to the praised of misguided environmentalists and the green-washing fossil fuel lobby.

The one I know about the most was Yucca Mountain which got defunded. But at least WiPP is back open. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_Isolation_Pilot_Plant

Sure, but that basically means there are approximately zero countries hosting US Armed forces that would try to kick them out just because Iran was launching rockets at those forces.

Wireshark is the wrong tool for the job unless you are only interested in the destination IPs, but those are useless to most people because malware and PUPs are hosted on public cloud services or rarely hijacked insecure endpoints, so what value is a source IP going to get you? For example most 'suspicious' traffic is from your cell phone and some app is phoning home over TLS, with 'home' being an elastic IP in AWS.

Probably more likely that those countries will support Iranian leaders getting replaced with people who won't shoot missiles into their air space.

You realize all power plants are a "target" right?

Like most things on the internet it's a game of one-upsmanship. User X uses Firefox with Incognito. User Y say's that isn't good enough for his own inconsistent definition of "good enough."
So User-Y suggests Firefox with 14 different add-ons and only browse through an immutable VM. But then user-z comes along and says that if you are using windows at all, you don't really care about privacy, so you should be using Icefox on some obscure fork of ubuntu through an immutable VM, with a pi-hole.
Then user-w says well if you aren't using a VPN none of this matters, so Obviously you need to rent an Alibaba cloud server hosted in China, that you only connect to through a privacy respecting VPN, and then you only browse through TOR.

And so on. By the time a user is asking about how to stop google ads, the only "serious" answer by the community involves using Packet over Ham-radio -> and spending thousands of dollars a month on 4 different cloud providers, rented through several shell companies set up in Switzerland, the Cayman Islands and China, while only typing in Esperanto using an ASCII-only font.

Whether Hudson's theory is correct or not, breaking up Iran is obviously something that will take place over multiple administrations. What Trump has done, directly attack Iran, is just the start. Gulf War 1 was 12years before Iraq was actually overthrown.
