Speaking of which, if SpaceX announced today that they are going to put people on Mars in 5 years, I still would find that more believable than Tesla getting anywhere close to Waymo, in the same time frame.

As in: it didn't apparently affect revenue in any way, but content creators always check view stats/graphs for their own videos to see how well each of them is doing. So sudden drop made YT the main suspect. It didn't help some changes to video visibility for "children" profiles was pushed at same time.

A few more incremental improvements in solar and battery industry and nuclear won't be profitable even in theory, to say nothing of construction cost overruns.

Reactors are only good at providing baseload but that isn't how grids operate anymore. Renewables are too cheap, if a power plant can't drop output fast enough it is punished.

Regardless - requiring an account to read anything, even a "free" one, totally changes whole situation. Even when sites terms of service are limited by local law.

We totally should. I mean it isn't even controversial idea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vision_Zero . If we start with "all traffic related deaths are excessive" then trying to get rid of them in any way possible is only natural. Shame that 2nd amendment fans will be against any requirements for gun owners, event if they are similar to European commercial drivers tests.

Psychological test before buying a gun? What a heresy.

Recent XZ backdoor shows it can happen to everyone. I am pretty sure JS has most packages, updates and contributors - and it makes it the best ecosystem to target. That anemic standard library doesn't help of course, but 2FA and package signing is required for all package repositories, here and now.

That hasn't been true for decades. In a way the race to bottom has already finished, we are at "100% clickbait" stage. I checked it very carefully and both Android build in "news" page and Microsoft's equivalent in Win11 Weather&News Widget are just that.
