Indeed, the one thing that can't be manipulated by dubious actors is time.
As someone born in the 90s I actually enjoyed the prequel movies, being a kid and all. They are terribly campy but it has been the source of many in-jokes.
The funding isn't controlled by the government but it may aswell be given how the BBC board is selected and their approval of the non-executives and the director of the BBC. The Queen (i.e. Ministers on her behalf)…
But if you represent part of the society that is entirely against said strong governments policies which directly affects you, relations, or your morals and ideals - you don't want strong governments to have unmitigated…
I don't know where this idea that brexit has fundamentally changed british society, it hasn't, all it has shown is that the entire country is still polarized by class and political leaning. The two party state still…
Methinks AI will be used like google is used today. Humans still need to make the decisions but AI will provide us with the information and conclusion of what should be done. Then it will definitely feel like AI is…
COVID-19 is certainly not catchy. But I find there's been a lot of casual discrimination towards east Asians living in western society. A case I noticed last week that was local to me where a Taiwanese market trader was…

We can, we just need to not burn out our resources and single planetary home before then.
Now the UK is free to do...what exactly that they could not before?
The intelligence services of both countries that openly admit they cooperate with each other, they just don't say to what degree. Also Five eyes, which has been operating since the 1940s.
Thinking back to my adolescence, there were few that were that proficient and similar observations could have been made, being able to use limewire and the office suite was about as technical as it got for my late…

The internet came at us too hard and too fast. We have not had time to determine what are the pitfalls we've already falling into and how to get out of them, to name a few; addiction, anxiety, FOMO, jobs market,…
Talking about this to certain devs is like talking to them about sports. They just don't get the learning curve was the most accessable for the average user, not just those who know how to program. We know there are…
I have the exact same issue with my Pixel 2, even after thoroughly cleaning the port it still hangs very loose and comes out easily. It has put me off USB-C, especially for mobile devices.
