But soon they will be waking up from hibernation

Shouldn't we then go further and remove existing Russian contributions to open source projects?

We could also remove Russian inputs to vital military systems. Without the tyranny of the Tsiolkovsky equation our rockets will be much more capable.

>It was not possible to remove every NSDAP voter.

There was also a need to rebuild a country and an army using people that had thrived under the previous regime and were devoutly anti-communist

Fortunately there was a thriving 'not a Nazi' rubber stamp system

Re: Iraq (and Afghanistan)

Oil (and Opium) ?

Re: Why?

"AI" can mean anything from self-driving to a nonlinear term in the brushless DC motor driver

I suspect a lot closer to the 2nd

Re: Magic

On a flat road the weight of the rider isn't necessarily a big factor.

At low speed it's rolling resistance of tires, at high speed its aerodynamic. Doesn't look like this would get into the aero regime

Re: Predator spyware is illegal in Greece, and a government spokesperson denied the accusations.

Never believe anything until it has been officially denied

Re: So.

A message from the government health ministry containing a link that installed government mandated vaccination app

Re: Finger pointing

saw her name on a leaked list of spyware targets in the Greek news

Re: Needs A Re-write......

I recommend that the Germans invent their own encryption system and use it everywhere.

I also recommend that the Germans pay no attention to what a bunch of pipe smoking British chaps and are doing in their sheds

Re: I'm getting confused ...

If the UK banned Huawei then only foreigners would have Huawei and there is no need to speak to foreigners.

Anyway many of them are incomprehensible, even when you speak slowly and loudly

Re: Adults Use TikTok?

Why would the BBC journalists need to see what the young people are doing on tiktok?

If the BBC needs to know something the government will give them a press release

But if we criminalise cat videos only criminals will have cat videos

Re: If they want to be consistent..

They can't ban Whatsapp - it's what the cabinet leaks on

Re: too lazy to look

Yep wipe out businesses that deposited their money there, and have them miss payroll and go bust, and have their employees not make rent.

(Hope none of the biotechs that banked with them were about to cure cancer.)

Then next week every company banking with a regional bank pulls all their money out. So those banks call in all their loans. So every farmer, and every small business, across America is bankrupt by the weekend.

But fsck capitalism ! Except Wall St will make $$$ buying all those assets for pennies, and they can have their food imported.

Will there be wailing and gnashing of teeth ?

Will the seas be as of blood?

Will the mountains crumble ?

Re: too lazy to look

Their problem is that NOBODY borrowed money from them. Banks make money on loans and lose money on deposits.

All their customers deposited the $MM from VCs, those sat in the bank paying 0% interest. The bank needed to raise money to pay wages so bought long term US government bonds paying 1% - the safest thing you could possibly do

Then all their customers began taking money out of their accounts to pay their bills, and no new money came in

It might sound fun on the internet for the government to let them go bust. Keep the bonds they bought and make a profit - and destroy the USA's tech and biotech industry

Nasa could just hire Geordie astronauts then just use Aussie football shirts (in black+whtite naturally)

Re: NASA Marketing -- who knew?

They had delays on the suit because nobody thought about it until everything else on the rocket was almost ready, probably because giant rockets are for fun boys toys but clothes are for girls.

They then discovered that the USA doesn't have a giant domestic spacesuit industry ready to leap to the challenge (the Apollo suits were made by Playtex, of girdle fame) so the suit was delayed, fortunately the SLS was so delayed it questions our understanding of time and space.

So they are desperate to show 'progress' on the suit, even if it's just a mockup

Re: Why?

"There is no dark side of the moon really; as a matter of fact it's all dark." "The only thing that makes it look alight is the sun."

Re: Tight fit?

>The female version sports high heels, short shorts and deep plunging neckline.

Would this suit be allowed to launch from Florida for women astronauts?

Is women wearing trousers = drag ?

Re: Tight fit?

>So the suit will fit, but the door might not?

Lunar mobility scooters

Re: Wrong decision

>official advice on the use of WhatsApp by MPs etc?

If you're an MP who are you most concerned about getting hold of your secret messages ?

1, Your wife

2, The newspapers

3, The chief whip

4, GCHQ/MI5/CIA/MMB

10, The People's Liberation Army

Re: WhatsApp

Obviously there should be an official government app like Whatsapp

It will be delivered in 20years, cost a squillion quid, rely on a Motorola and BAe operated 4.5G network and not run on any commercial phone hardware

The ability to use vowels in messages will hopefully be available in version 2.0

Re: De-globalisation not going far enough

>People's Front of North Yorkshire

There aren't any semiconductor Fabs (or Fettles) in N Yorkshire, the computers will be built of brass and run on steam.

The hoped-for breakthrough is an AI that count the sheep without going into sleep mode.

Re: I want to make a teleprompter type set up ...

>Just to see if I can freak my colleagues out by staring directly into their eyes.

There's an nvidia thing that does that, it detects your face and redraws your eyes looking directly at the camera - and yes it is creepy as fsck

Re: If I designed products this way, we'd go bust

>not some intern's project that by mistake got released to the world?

Because any intern you hire today has been using a computer daily for 10-15years

Whoever designed teams had a computer described to them by somebody who had only seen one in a 1950s SF movie

(I was going to list all the things wrong with it, but there isn't enough space in this margin)
