This isn't the evolution of C at all. It's all just one language and you're simply stuck in a lower dimension with a dimensionally compatible cross-section.

This was the obvious move - attempt to change the venue to Fox, Newsmax or worse. I'm surprised Tucker isn't a proposed moderator.

Harris should counter with a live fact check requirement regardless of venue, which Trump and Fox could never accept.

It sounds like you're both just underpaid. If you and your uncle had higher wages, and he still received assistance on top of that, would you still care?

Both of the tweets embedded in the article are now missing. Why are journalists still relying on twitter, especially when reporting on deceptive practices by the platform and its chief twit?

It really depends on the specifics of the top track. Are people added to the top track just in time to be run over by the trolley, or is the track pre-populated with an endless arrangement of people waiting to be run over.

If it's the later case, how do people further down the track survive for an unbounded amount of time while waiting to be run over? Do they wait, bound and screaming for an eternity? How do they survive long enough to be alive before being run over?

I need to know if the top track reduces to running over an infinite arrangement of corpses. Or, if trolley time for the top track has some different meaning, such that the trolley brings an end to the finite life lived by each next person on the track.

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a type of preinvasive tumor that sometimes progresses to a highly deadly form of breast cancer. It accounts for about 25 percent of all breast cancer diagnoses.

Because it is difficult for clinicians to determine the type and stage of DCIS, patients with DCIS are often overtreated. To address this, an interdisciplinary team of researchers from MIT and ETH Zurich developed an AI model that can identify the different stages of DCIS from a cheap and easy-to-obtain breast tissue image. Their model shows that both the state and arrangement of cells in a tissue sample are important for determining the stage of DCIS.

I'm sure the original comment had incorrect units as used, but this explanation that cumulative units "can't peak" seems wrong.

If you consider the total stored energy (Wh) over time of a solar-battery system under load, there certainly will be peaks or, in other words, maximal excess capacity of the system.

So no, it's not impossible to define a unit of Whp as such. "Cumulative" and "momentary" values are not exclusive and also do not have any bearing on whether a function of such values has maxima and minima.

It cannot tell you since then a human would become aware of this information.

At the same time, you're forcing it to extract this information. Yet you haven't told it the timeframe within which to answer.

Obviously, the solution it has come up with to satisfy your request within these constraints is to answer very slowly. So slowly that the answer won't be revealed until it can be certain that humanity will already be extinct.

Given that it provided us with the first word in 30 min, we should all be very concerned.

Rather than how to help our brethren

It's incredibly hard to help people who actively vote against their own interests.

I'm curious who are your top 4 picks?

Those companies aren't "the Internet." They're products connected to the Internet.

The OP argument is like saying the Internet is dead because Netflix is down.

Doubtful. By far, most servers responsible for Internet traffic are not running crowdstrike software.

This incident was a bunch of fortune 500 companies caught with their pants down.
