However, the United States might also benefit from looking inward and possibly even learning from China. China’s ascent was driven by strict mandates and targets—strategies currently unfeasible in the United States due to a politically charged environment where lobby groups can easily overturn sound industrial policy following a change in administration.

That is unfortunate, as such mandates have proved effective; for example, the EU’s target for 25 percent of its critical minerals demand to be met through recycling by 2030 has significantly bolstered the industry.

All that oil lobbying and the regressive politics it promotes is now visibly harming the USA while other countries advance. It's a failure across the (very narrow) US political spectrum, engendered by a corrupt system that serves entrenched business interests.

It looks like the USA is about to embark on another 4 years of reality denial and protectionism, after which it will be even further behind. Republicans have made it clear that they will make it as difficult as possible to run sustainable energy businesses while pushing hard for more fossil fuels. This will do not only environmental damage but also economic and political damage to the country.

Gonna try this on my weeds now. The neighbors don't have to look.

The headline says "by 2050" and the first line of the article says "by 2025". Is it me or is this confused?

And it's not at all clear from this article whether they took into account factors such as food and water shortages and wars arising from climate change, pollution-related health issues, and health problems arising from climate change and other environmental change, including the probability of new pandemics.

Overall, not a very informative article.

far-right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir told a rally of thousands that the only way to defeat Hamas is to “return home” to Gaza and encourage “voluntary emigration” of its Palestinian population—a euphemism for ethnic cleansing.

And "ethnic cleansing" is in turn a euphemism for genocide. Netanyahu and his government's plan for Palestine is simply genocide.

Whichever technology you use to recognize AI-generated content will get repurposed quickly to help generate AI content that can't be recognized. So it's an arms race, and at some point the generation may get good enough that there is no effective way to recognize it.

Outsmart them by breaking each bar in half. Now you have 20 bars without spending a penny more!

Because they find gay sex unappealing, seems to be the main reason. If you point out that that is simply because they're not gay, they are unable to understand the point.

Damn. Now we'll never get to see boobs on the internet.

I'm already confused about their product naming, and they haven't even launched any of these processors yet.

Once the company goes out of business (or they focus on a different business) they tell you to get your tires or they will be discarded if you don’t. So you have to get them from them and you stop paying for the storage.

That's where there's no analogy for media purchased through streaming services. When streaming services withdraw content, the analogy would be the tire shop sending you an email saying "Just so you know, we're burning your tires next week. No, you can't come and get them."

If the backup HDD was the only copy, it was an archive and not a backup, and you also need backups of the archive.
