They were very careful in how they worded the request. They are not asking for people to change their voting behavior, only to create a plan, and to make some public statements.
Obviously, the latter part is fine but the voting plan doesn’t require that someone actually change their behavior. They are definitely skirting the line, but I’m sure they had the help of a lawyer when they made this.
I think all of your points were covered in the video, sometimes almost verbatim.
Market cap doesn’t say how much cash they have available. For that, look at cash on hand which publicaly traded companies need to report
MS has about 75B cash on hand, so they could afford this themselves. They will probably argue that it will bring jobs and expertise to the state. Also, it’s a loan, so the interest will generate funding for the state as well. nevermind, not a loan from the state, so no interest would go to the state.
Kind of agree. I wish combat robots were placed in the suit inventory and then came out as needed. It never felt right for them to be automated grenades.
As an example, UW Madison which has a fairly large and profitable athletics program generated 12 million in profit last year. They aren’t the largest athletics program in the country, but it is bigger than many. Sits around the middle.
The patents and IP owned by the university provided $134 million in grants and support. Again, the school has a large STEM component, but it isn’t a top tier university. Again, sits around the middle. The organization providing this funding manages its investments carefully and intends to provide this level of funding year after year.
Research departments generated more revenue and the funding is likely more reliable.
Agreed, this seems more approachable, mainly because it is a layout challenge (which is a large part of the fun in Factorio).
The inaccessibility of fission is that it requires understanding the fluid system idiosyncracies. Maybe that will be easier after the changes to that system that will happen with 2.0.
It belongs in a museum!
It is a loosing battle to try to make sense of the nonsensical. Only use their craziness as a source of humor and entertainment.
I think in their crazy world, the north pole is at the center of the earth disk and Antarctica is actually an ice wall around the perimeter that keeps the water on the disk. Therefore, Africa and Australia are on opposite sides of the disk (like left-right not heads-tails) or are near the out perimeter and no one would build a cable going across that long of a distance.
If that makes your brain hurt because of the stupidity, that’s because it is. Flat earthers are only good as the target of a joke because we can all agree that it’s stupid. There are some entertaining videos on YouTube of people making fun of them, or of themselves proving themselves wrong.
Sidebery is a great FF extension that provides vertical tabs, trees, and groups.
We’re currently in the information age, which is due to silicon. In a few hundred years, this time may reasonably be called the silicon age. Society has only recently transferred to the silicon age from the previous iron age. If we don’t cause a total collapse of our society, then we will be in the silicon age for a few hundred more years, and that will likely include space colonization.
The space age you’re referring to is likely the 60s, when space exploration was beginning. A decade or two isn’t long enough to be considered an age.

That’s why we name our ages after the materials within. Material science is the foundation for almost all other physical sciences.
How is the X in xitter pronounced? Is it “sh” like in Xi? This seems to fit this time line, but it would be nice to have confirmation.
My kid’s doctor had service to transcribe the visits. Patients may opt out verbally. This is all through the hospital, so presumably it is HIPAA compliant.
Instead of creating your own solution that complies with HIPAA, it is probably easier to use one that already exists.
The hassle is that I have to have a second device to login with, and I have to keep that device with me and functioning at all times.
Obvious answer is of course my phone, but I’ve had a few situations where I needed to access an account on a new system and didn’t have a 2nd device available.
Thank you, that was a really helpful explanation that I haven’t seen elsewhere. It helps a lot and I think I now understand the difference between passwords and passkeys.
I still don’t like the hassle inherent in passkeys, but at least I understand it now.
Are sufficiently long passwords susceptible to brute force attacks?
Don’t passkeys get that feature by just being longer?
I have a question that is kind of off topic. If I use a password manager and generally use randomized secure passwords, do passkeys offer any additional security?
By practicing good password behavior, I have struggled to see how the benefits of passkeys out weigh the hassles.
