I don't like or support Hezbollah, but the added irony here is that Northern Ireland (where Mo Chara is from) is festooned with British-supporting terrorist flags from groups like the UDF & UDA; pro-British terrorist groups active during The Troubles.

At least this should finally put the 'Chinese can't innovate, they can only copy' meme into retirement.

I'm glad this means AI's power will become more decentralized internationally. Who would have thought it was China responsible for that?

While laboratory testing like this is important, I'm really keen to know what effect the microplastics in our everyday environment are actually having.

I help moderate one of the larger subreddits (r/futurology) & its striking how much the recent issues have demoralized people. We track inactive Mods monthly, where there used to be 5 or so a month, for the last two months its 25 or so, which is the majority of the mods on that subreddit.

In fairness, I can see why the accusation of being spammy is justified. But to address the issue of scamminess - Although we don't mention the site address yet, here's it being talked about by the Mod Team on r/futurology

I wonder what motivated any DOS attacks.
