We are underprepared in the west for sure. But that’s probably all right. One of the big points from WW1 was that large standing millitaries meant they needed to be used. Armies beget war as much as any other factor. This is why NATO is so important. The collective force of it means that we don’t need to be as prepared. Which has seen unprecedented levels of peace in the west since its inception

Isn’t that just joining the army?

He could be barred from entry or proscribed though

Calling for the government to resign and elections isn’t exactly treason. Dissolution of the government is a perfectly ordinary part of democracy in the UK

Just the way he’s put it makes him a total cunt

Command and Control is a great read also!

To no doubt get another CEO role. He should be pilloried from pole to pole and unemployable

Most of the northern hemisphere isn’t even making 2 per couple. It is Africa which keeps churning out babies to be blunt

What we have also seen is education and rising economies reduce the birth rate. If we want to actually curb things: the trend of reducing foreign aid is going to make things worse

How much will the fines cost vs paying these people I wonder? 200*25k is approximately £5m/annum. Come on £10m fine!

Don’t be so sure. Very little of his net worth will be liquid. Meaning giving up a big chunk of something

You might be able to do mac address cloning for fiber ports, if you have openwrt or similar it usually offers it.

A firewall may not offer full routing and NAT though for ipv4 devices, or wifi if you need it, or ipv6, or many other features. I’ve also used a cable modem and stuck the router in the dmz which essentially makes it a passthrough device also in the past

Basically, play with it and good luck!

Total Annihilation

More facism from Trump. And he won the popular vote. Americans love facism

Lol, not at all. I’m worried Reform (who are looking possible to take the government next) would reverse this decision. A very regressive move imo. But not unlikely

Would Reform undo it I wonder? This does smell a bit of gerrymandering as young people split leftwards

Musk, Bezos, Zuck, Page ruined the internet for us. That’s who to blame

Because AI sucks at basically all tasks. And if I wanted the simple article I’d have visited the simple article. What you have done is denied entry to one of the most valuable resources ever created: wikipedia

Thanks, I hate it

I suspect people (not billionaires) are realising that they can get by with less. And that the planet needs that too. And that working 40+ hours a week isn’t giving people what they really want either.

There’s also the value of money has never been lower either. Working for less isn’t rewarding. And so demand is getting intensely squeezed, and this is likely to continue with a planet that is full of enough stuff

I work in this field. I’m trying to change these numbers! We are heading the right direction is the good news. China may well save us all with cheaper panels and battery manufacturing. And if 97% reduces our emissions even 50% on todays emissions then we can start talking about actually meeting some climate targets.

So this is all good news, but as I also said: I work in this field and know we have a long way to go yet. There also isn’t a single answer. Batteries, smart grids, grid-interconnects, efficiencies, supply mixes, demand offsetting; power is the best thing in the world to work in right now, it touches sooo many aspects of humanity and is changing so fast!

Coal has long been unprofitable, and nuclear has always needed huge state funding (you get weapons as the byproduct of nuclear power, hence the subsidies). Until it beats gas it still isn’t cheap enough imo. Gas of course is still massively subsidised too though, and that’s where we need to continue to work: our policy makers need to end fossil fuel subsidies
