David Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*)It sounds as if electric trucks are great for long-range land transport. But they require heavy batteries, so rather than putting them on the road (where they'll damage the road surface), why don't we build special metal tracks for them to go on? And, on long trips, join a bunch of them together so that you only need one motor and driver for a load of them travelling in a convoy? I bet you could make freight transport a lot more efficient if you did that.

Thick fog and patches of mist lingered in the woods throughout the morning, complimenting the lush forests through which I walked. Bogs and ponds took on a distinctly primeval appearance beneath low-hanging shrouds of translucent vapor.

No lo olvidĂ©is: la ĂNICA diferencia entre vosotros y la gente de Gaza es la suerte geogrĂĄfica, Nada mĂĄs đ .
Nunca deis por garantizada vuestra suerte geogrĂĄfica. La seguridad, la libertad y el comfort en el que vivĂs son lujos que se niegan a millones. No porquĂ© se merezcan menos, pero porque el mundo es injusto.

Toni AittoniemiThereâs been a lot of significant news about #usisraelwaroniran, like UAE putting 17 UK influencers behind bars, potentially for 10 years, for filming drones.
Or USA losing an F-15E over Iran, with two pilots lost in enemy territory.
But what I feel are even more important are two issues:
-Donald Trump & Hegseth fired their top military for telling the truth
-Trump routed weapons already paid for Ukraine to the middle east
These two are signalling escalation & potential for quagmire.

New quantum-computing advances heighten threat to elliptic curve cryptosystems
No, the sky isn't falling, but Q Day is coming, and it won't be as expensive as thought.

Aral BalkanIf your stated goal is to make computing into a âutilityâ (aka subscription) you can only obtain from Big Tech and if your entire industry is comprised of rentiers, it makes perfect sense to also make actually owning a general computing device as expensive as possible.
As far as Big Tech is concerned, this is a feature, not a bug.
Itâs capitalists acquiring capital and pricing it out of the reach of those they want to make dependent on them.
Also: fuck these people. https://social.heise.de/@heiseonlineenglish/116301661509651336 https://social.heise.de/@heiseonlineenglish/116301661509651336
