Yeah, i mean, that kinda proves my point, the AI has some major physical advantages, but still only broke even? Seems like its very early days.
I have heard the “dog fighting is a thing of the past” for decades at this point, they still keep building new fighters with guns. Im not yet convinced its true. With stealth and electronic warfare being more and more common, perhaps there will be a comeback?
My impression, and correct me if I am wrong, is that Boeings issues are largely management/culture driven (this may just be the plane side of the business though). The Atlas 5 this is being launched on may have been designed by LM, but it was still built under the same management/culture.
But either way, the Atlas 5 is a very reliable rocket, so the scorn isnt really that deserved.
They often get described as leftists, but mostly seemed like they were just trolls looking to pick fights. If someone told me they were a false-flag to discredit leftists, I would beleive it.

How many times I can change IMEI without harm to device via AT command? For example if I will change IMEI 3 times a day (sometimes) and 7 times (most commonly) a week (1 per day) via AT command won’t it harm device?...
If its that serious, dont take your phone (or any device). A nation state will have no trouble tracking you if you’re a worthy target.
You are asking in the wrong place. Your country will have a department of foreign affairs or similar, you should be speaking to them. They are the experts.
I suspect that if you connected to your work vpn from a personal VPN IP address that may raise some questions. “Dave keeps connecting from inside Amazons data center, thats weird”.
Turning on wifi to scan would be trivial technically. Hidden GPS maybe, but its more likely that they would just have an overt GPS module if they cared.
A wired in airtag or similar would probably be doable, and wouldnt be visible to the OS.
Latency analysis would probably be quite tricky. If you had starlink or dialup your latency would be pretty bad to begin with.
Realistically, if the employer was concerned about company data leaving the country they wouldnt be allowing WFH at all.
If Christianity is man made, why does everything about it go against man’s desires? Does Christianity go against man’s desires? If so, is that evidence for Christianity? I answer this question, discussing the history of Christianity, the cognitive science of religion, Buddhism, Jainism, Islam, and more....
That may be your interpretation, but its not mine. I am not christian and have no trouble following them, because they are so general and open to interpretation.
It’s not a pick and choose kind of religion, even the christian-addendum.
And yet there are hundreds of denominations that do exactly pick and choose. It seems you are the one insisting that you cannot pick and choose. (And obviously church leaders would prefer you dont pick and choose, but usually they do as well).
The overall vibe from my Christian religious education was that as long as you are striving to be a good person, you have a place in Heaven. To err is human, and Jesus died on the cross to absolve mankind of their sins. This made atheism an obvious choice, because I do strive to be a good person, so no need to go to church and have someone else tell me what to do.
If your gonna take the rules listed in the bible strictly, then sure. But your definition of Christian values is then far more strict than almost everyone elses interpretation, that its basically a “no true scotsman” kinda deal.
If you want to insist that the only true Christian is someone who follows scripture verbatim and never strays, fine, they are super controlled and oppressed.
Essentially yes. The general rules are easy to follow, the more esoteric ones that actual Christians often ignore are also very easy to ignore.
No arguments on your second point either, churches absolutely use the baseline values as a gateway to get people in the door, and then begin layering more control one you are in. Eg. Evangelicals, properity gospels, scientology.
I’m not a believer, at all. I went to a Christian school for an education, and that was all. Neither of my parents were religious, and my Christian grandma married my Muslim grandfather. I am very much comfortably on the outside looking in here.
I’m not disputing that churches themselves are not based around social control, only that the core values as they were expressed to me are not that controlling.
To grossly simplify, if Jesus had just said “Be nice to each other”, most of us wouldn’t consider that overtly controlling. When a church later extrapolates that to “Every egg is life, killing life isnt nice, abortion is banned”, thats when it becomes control.
If you think that its impossible to seperate the church structures from the core beliefs, thats perfectly reasonable. The evidence is firmly in your favour. I am well aware of the bullshit being pushed by these “churches” in the US, and we have the exact same issues in Australia.
Anyway, thanks for you comments, i think we have both made our points, I wont waste any more of your time.
It takes some insane levels of mental gymnastics to go from “Love thy neighbour” to “Let them die if they are poor or brown”.
If more people took your path (spending the time to analyse their own beliefs) the world would be in a lot better place. I was never part of a church, so I didnt have to take the same path, but I appreciate it cant have been easy.
I dont know much about Hecatean or Trivia, but it is refreshing the the “Cult” section on wikipedia doesnt end with “and then they all killed themselves” 😄. From a quick skim (which probably over simplifies it), but it seems fairly chill 🙂.

Havent considered generators, but i suspect it wouldnt work out.
I am spending ~$300 per year to keep myself connected to the grid. Maybe a couple extra hundred or so on power I draw from the grid. I assume i would spend far more than that on a suitable sized generator?
Plus my goal was to avoid burning fossil fuels, so a generator kinda defeats that purpose :D
