citation? USDA approved an emergency funding of 165 million in 2024 for this issue https://www.aphis.usda.gov/news/agency-announcements/usda-ap... …

The fact that you say "Europe" like it's not a block of 40+ countries each with its own language and culture is telling. Second, what you and me consider to be good service is probably …

That sounds a lot like bribing

I agree it's not going to end here, but I disagree on the reason. China doesn't rely on oil that much anymore as they have leaned heavily into nuclear and solar; further, Iran only provides …

Reports are that if Iran keeps things going on, Israel is going to run out of interceptors in 10 days or so, at which point they are gonna be seriously damaged. Some missiles are already getting throu…

Are they supposed to give up their country just because their nuclear enrichment facilities are damaged?

It is everyone.

Like I said, a single misplaced atom is enough to wreak havoc in the behaviour of these things. That's not the problem, everyone knows there's a large gap between phenomena observed, and mak…

Looking at the paper, cherry picking 5 out of 21 devices is in itself not a deal breaker IMO, but it's certainly something they should have disclosed. I bet this happens all the time with these k…

This is the most likely. With allies like the US, the old enemies don't look so bad anymore.

Well, Mars is so much farther away and much more massive so you need a lot of fuel if you want to come back. This is much more difficult than the extra fuel needed for the moon landing due to lack of …

You don't seem to understand. All Ukraine wants is a security promise. They could surrender to Putin at any time without giving up to the US all of their resources for generations. They need some…

Yeah but we could use a whole bunch of tech companies. There should be a visa program for entrepreneurs. That should be always the case but especially now.

Besides all the good responses you already got demolishing this point of view, there's the direct benefit of testing all sorts of military equipment and strategies in an actual armed conflict. Ev…

That thing knows me better than I know myself

I am certainly not a supporter of this government, but I do find it unsettling to have massive amounts of ideologically fueled bureaucrats running the government. It goes both ways. The pendulum is no…

I skimmed through the paper but nowhere did I find a demonstration of a Majorana qubit or a zero mode. The achievement was that they demonstrated a single-shot measurement. That's nice, but where…

A "meager" 600+ million users today

Why? Japan found over 200k ghost centenarians in their database. A significant amount were fraud related, relatives that keep receiving checks for example. So not hard to believe for me.

On X, only the "Signal.me" links are blocked. Other types of Signal links, such as call links, group invite links, Signal.org links, and link previews, are not blocked on the platform. [From…

Why is it unreasonable to demand that every recipient of money is alive and has a valid age in the system? This shouldn't be a political statement.

That doesn't hold up because there are 200 year old people as well, and apparently millions of 100-year olds. I'm not saying all of it is fraud but incompetence leading to waste would not be…

You don't use X much do you?

It's the implication that the current government is authoritarian which is political

Would this work for non-text data? Like finding outliers in a time series or classifying trends, that kind of thing

I've burned out once, but that was enough. I am working again but it's been more than 7 years and I'm not fully recovered. I'm very careful now not to paint myself into a corner (o…

When I was a small child in a rural environment, my uncle slaughtered a lamb for eating. It was a bloody messy hell. It was an eye opener but it didn't have the impact you think it had, if anythi…

Weird article. The energy consumption of an EUV machine is about 1MW, that's why it's interesting to have an efficient alternative, not the actual useful power of the source.

People can program in python but cannot select a kernel from a list? I find that hard to believe

We kept that mostly due to inertia and because it's the most profitable for the journals (everybody does their work for free and they don't have to invest in new systems), not because it…
