The ability to categorise and tease out common attributes is one of the foundations of science because it lets you make predictions. If something is true of most plants then it is probably true of this specific plant. The next step beyond this primal science is to formulate a hypothesis and test it. If I combine these two metals they should have some of the properties of both sources. Let’s test that at different ratios and temperatures. The problem with Greek proto science is that it’s as much theology and guessing as observation, and they thought they could reason out nature without experimenting.

The next time their targeting hits a school, they will be able to blame the AI so no one has to take responsibility. Just remove all humans from the loop. Autonomous fighting at AI speed and other lies.

It’s provided free to factories for fuel. This is of course unofficial but very widespread. https://www.asia-pacific-solidarity.net/news/2025-05-10/toxic-tofu-how-plastic-waste-west-fuels-food-factories-indonesia.html

Especially when “recycled” mixed plastic and paper from western recycling programs is exported. The plastic is likely to be burnt to cook food.

Disappointed to see my own country implicated in this.

Specifically the percentage born overseas not descended from immigrants. Percentage of noncitizens or temporary migration would be interesting too.

If you end up with a second proxmox server with its own storage for redundancy in a cluster then ZFS is great. You can mirror each VM. The only issue is the ZFS storage needs to be named the same. But it can be a different size or media.

Not too serious a suggestion, but if migration worked once to escape the PRC why not do it again. Move all your industries offshore to an enclave or possibly several in friendly neighboring countries and then your population. I mean the population isnt so large that it’s not technically impossible to relocate. it’s not much more than some of the largest world cities. Then when invaded withdraw entirely. Anyone happy to live under Chinese rule can stay. Given climate change humanity is probably going to have to get used to massive migrations anyway. Horrible as that could be culturally being a semi independent part of another democracy would fix their declining population, plus being a massive economic stimulus all round. I suspect something like this may be happening informally anyway. Their main strength is economic and organizational so why not build on that.

Never mind reputation damage. in the US what if it had trigged a swatting incident or alerted ICE that they were someone hiding illegals in their home. Will we get to the point where providing any real identity or contact information on the Internet is a mistake.
