If there is something that Americans love to do more than bitching about their elections being rigged, that’s not actually participating in said elections and waiting that someone will do voting for them, while they sit around and call everyone who actually votes “libs”. That and daydreaming about murdering people during their inevitable revolution/civil war.
That doesn’t mean elections aren’t actually rigged, they very much are.

America has pockets of progressiveness so to speak, that’s why once in a generation you can get occasional mayoral wins and such. But they never grow into anything bigger, for many many reasons, from the fact that America is a stupid country full of stupid people, to the fact that lefties will always chose infighting and purity checks over pragmatism, to the fact that significant portion left-leaning people are extremely anti-democracy and use “voting” as a slur word.
Doesn’t mean nothing can be done, but you also can’t just ignore all of that

A lot of people learn nothing from their experience, you’re not alone in that

You hadn’t been around for dotcom craze then.

Some people aren’t nice or good people, oh well.

The main weight in an electric plane is a battery, and the energy density in that isn’t good enough yet, and it’s possible that it can’t be better with the current batteries we have, and we need a battery on a different set of elements

Bernie lost popular vote two times in a row.

Which is orders of magnitude better than a conservative pile of goo that actively wants to inflict as much suffering on you that is humanly possible. Which is very loved by a median voter for no good reason whatsoever

America against something.
The possibility of Trump launching military operation against Mexico, Canada, Denmark, China, or whatever his dying brain will come up with next is small, but not zero.
I don’t know what will happen if Trump will annex Greenland. I don’t know what will happen if he nukes Mexico. I don’t know what will happen if he puts military ships in China water to intimidate them into giving him money. But I can’t rule out this and many more idiotic actions of his.

The point is that under the best conditions up close centimeters away from your face you can just about see 0.1. And we’re talking 4 times that two meters away.
Text on the modern tv does look better though. Bu how much of that is that all the technology got better, colours are more uniformed, the light emmiters are more consistent, there is less dead space, etc.
It’s like that old gimmick with cameras and megapixels. Cameras were getting better, but not because the number of megapixels was bigger, still that’s the only number everyone cared about, so they started selling numbers that didn’t make any physical sence.

Most of my friends have at least a touch of adhd, autism, or usually both.

Right? “Yeah, there is a scientific study about it, but what if I didn’t read it and go by feelings? Then I will be right and don’t have to reexamine shit about my life, isn’t that convenient”

If my quick calculations are correct, the 70 inches screen at 1080p has a pixel size of about 0.7 mm give or take, where 4k would be about 0.1-0.2.
0.1mm is a smallest size of a thing a human could potentially see under very strict conditions. A pixel smaller than a millimeter will be invisible from a meter away. I really, really doubt its humanly possible to see the difference from the distances a person would be watching tv.

The thing is, the newer 4k tvs are just built better, nicer colour contrast, more uniformed lighting, clearer glass, and that might be the effect you’re seeing

Yeah. The power of MD is that it’s lightweight, versatile, and not very restrictive. You don’t need to remember a lot, and the parser is dirt easy to implement.
The negatives are that it’s not very restrictive, nobody remembers what’s what, and the parser so easy to implement, everyone and their dog has one, and they’re all slightly different

The whole problem is because format doesn’t actually expects the space there, and it’s left to the interpretation of the parser

Putting a space is a good practice for compatibility because different software behaves differently. But the standard doesn’t specify it per se.

That’s not it though. Linux doesn’t have a problem with viruses, didn’t have it before, doesn’t have it now. Predicting that it’s going to start right now 20 years in a row isn’t a good idea refardless, and pointing it out is a right thing to do.
Which doesn’t mean it couldn’t really start one day.

It doesn’t matter if you can disable it by cutting a wire, it’s the same amount of security in this case.
There were of course alarms that you couldn’t disable by cutting an obvious wire, just like there are smart alarms that you can’t actually hack easily.

Do you seriously think old alarms were unhackable?

No it’s not
