The elites have been doing very well since 2010. They froze wage increases and broke the long standing history of them raising with inflation and pocketed an enormous amount of extra profit as a result. Most don't benefit from GDP growth now, they just get poorer due to inflation further eroding their stagnate wages. GDP hasn't been a measure that matters to the average person in 14 years.

Microsoft remains convinced we want clippy everywhere regardless of how many times we have rejected these solutions!

We don't and we won't.

Such significant commitments on a national level with international treaties should I think be carried by more than a simple majority. Its not a simple choice and without decent will behind it there is every chance it doesn't last or causes enormous strife within the populace. But the vote is advisory and fundamentally will probably be based on the majority regardless so its now up to government to decide if its enough to move forward.

Most of those limits have already been broken through and there is no political will to do anything but stamp on the accelerator and take humanity off the cliff at top speed.

In a recent video Lance Hendricks showed that the filter paper touching the side of the brewer is what draws water out of the brewing process to bypass going directly through the bed. So the immersion of an Aeropress is not using this mechanism at all since the entire water is being pushed through the bed of coffee and immersed whereas a hario switch some of the water is still bypassing the bed directly.

How much this matters is less the shorter the period of time before the water is pulled around and outside. But it also means there isn't really just one immersion or v60 like brewer because it depends on so many factors to determine bypass and extraction. The angle of the brewer, the contact of the paper, the technique in agitation it all impacts how gets extracted. Still as a basic idea these v60 like devices that can be closed do provide almost the same thing up to the point when you open them up at which point they will behave like a v60 and there isn't anything you can do about that. How much that matters is hard to really know they taste pretty similar to me but Lance's video is worth a watch because it does at least show there is a difference and that will have some impact.

Depends on the headset, they don't all work on Linux unfortunately.

He sent billions in weapons to make it happen.

Probably the only way they will get taxation money out of the tech giants given all the shady things they do to transfer the profits out of countries to evade taxes. VAT at least is a lot more obvious and harder to avoid although I don't put it past them to start doing even shadier things.

Ultimately Google is going to do this to every customer in the end, its systems for detecting problems are buggy and you don't get to speak to a human to fix the problem so a simple automated error becomes fatal. Its going to happen at some point and its a lot easier to migrate when it all still works than afterwards when it doesn't.

Looks lovely. If it drives as well as Assetto Corsa and adds some of the modern physics features (which looks like with the puddles and night time) and it doesn't loose any features it will be pretty popular. I am still hoping they will expand the features a bit especially on multiplayer game play and scheduled ranked servers.

Universities have been running Linux since the very early versions. Slackware was pretty common back in the 90s and 2000s and universities had labs full of them not least because there weren't really laptops so they had to have enough machines for all the students. Universities have been heavily involved in the development of unix from its inception and a lot of the tools were initially written by university professors.
