Windows can't be Christianity, it's not fragmented enough. It's either Scientology because it's tightly controlled and without meaningful denominations. Or Buddhism from a very western point of view (i.e. oblivious to the denominations and local variations).

Highest among prosperous nations sure, but if we look to the whole world Korea does not have close to the highest rates of suicide.

Policy makers: "Why won't they have babies?!? We need more babies the whole system will collapse! We must urgently do something! But what? What ever should we do??? We've tried EVERYTHING! We even give them straight cash if they have a kid! This is the greatest mystery of our time!"

The population in nearly perfect unanimous voice: "Work life balance is shit and we can't afford to have kids, neither time wise nor monetarily"

Policy makers: "Such an enigma, truly so mysterious, woe is us, evil evil selfish young people that don't have kids!"

...

To clarify for the purpose of answering OPs question. The quality will be the same because it's the same code in both cases. But the performance, as in how many FPS, you get will most often differ.

Really cool stuff but I struggle to see what it truly enables to be able to deliver 100 metric tons to low earth orbit "cheaply"? A new cooler space station?

To me the real breakthrough would be in making space travel feasible. As it is now the time it takes and the radiation + small debris out there make it seem very distant.

But maybe this could be a step if they could build a space station so large that you could assemble a space ship there and launch from there with all the benefits of fuel savings that would entail? Realistically though there is no money in it until reaching the asteroid belt and mining there comes into reach. That would truly trigger a space age, if something came around that makes that feel within reach.

The things you could easily do with that video if you had a higher res version seeing as the pole is a very distinct color...

All but eliminates would be more accurate but still extremely surprising to me. I can't say I'm a fan of the rising tension in India between Hindus and Muslims stoked on by Modi but they're obviously delivering great results in combatting inequality and lifting people of out poverty.

The most encouraging numbers in there were for sure the decline in the Gini coefficient, most countries see worsening inequality so it's very encouraging to see a nation as large as India being able to combat it.

Tell them to move to yubikey or similar hardware key which is far more secure than any password policy will ever be and vastly more user friendly. Only downside is the intense shame if you manage to lose it.

The key should stick with the user thus not be stored with the computer when not in use. The key isn't harmless of course but it takes a very deliberate targeting and advance knowledge about what it goes to and how it can be used. It's also easy to remote revoke. If you're extra special paranoid you could of course store the key locked at a separate site if you want nuclear codes levels of security.

So much dumb shit has been done under the banner of NFT that I want to disagree but yes, if each ID in your blockchain represents a unique variant of an item, and we want to that to persist then yes NFT would fit the bill as a correct term for it.

NFTs don't need to be limited, they don't need to have transaction fees to move them, they don't need to contain a link to an image and masquerade as if you own that image. All they need to do is prove that you have control of it by virtue of it being in your care. Then that proof confers the ability to use the item it represents in game. For currency you naturally wouldn't use NFTs, though you could if you're adamant you want a more "cash like" experience with change back and all that jazz.

I'll add to the group saying things got better by 30. In my case having kids has helped me get my shit together and take better care of myself both physically and mentally.

... I agree it's great but it's exactly what is criticized here. It's the typical bombastic movie epic theme song. It would fit just as well into any Sci-Fi block buster. There is nothing about it that gives away that it's for a game as opposed to a movie or tv-series.
