First point: fair enough, I see the flaw. But then we’re changing to a more ethical dilemma: does a charismatic person deserve more chance to live?

Second point: with half the population left, there is more time to solve things (caused by humanity). Global warming, for example, will likely be solved by just the snap alone.

Maybe he could have made it that every female can only bare 2 children, that would gradually reduce population. But that would put a huge strain on the younger generation to take care of the elder.

About the 2 faction problem, theoretically 50% of each faction will be gone. Chances are big that the power balance remains the same. But you can idd argue that making 1 faction completely dissappear is also 50% and statistically possible.

About the influential people (let add geniuses to be complete). Those persons are not unique, nobody is irreplaceable. Someone else will step up to be equally influential, Someone else will figure stuff out.

The reason he choose that action is not to be biased and give everyone an equally 50% chance of survival. In his eyes, a cleaning lady deserves an equal chance to a CEO.

The next generations will bounce back. They will not have experienced the thanos snap.

Thanos; I can understand his reasoning, his solution doesn’t favor anyone either and seemed painless.

Was going to use it as a background, but the artifact ruins it.

Imagine hitting a dent in that bulge. Metal doesn’t dent back out, I’ll be a struggle to walk or strip your armor while it is crushed the entire time.

It is today’s equivalent to catching it between your zipper.

It is about funding. The corners IT has to cut is because lack of money.

Also the amount of legacy operating system to keep hardware like scanners running is a lot. Medical devices are delivered with a workstation that never updates. It is hard to justify buying a new mri of 1.5 million when the accompanied workstation is outdated.

Sure you can vlan and firewall the hell out of it. But they still have a large attack surface.

They can operate, just slower. Life threatening gets priority, the rest are diverted to nearby hospitals.

Think of when your gps shuts down. You can navigate by paper map, just slower and you need to pay more attention to avoid mistakes.

Go protest to the people who give the permit to cut down those trees, those are the problem. If tesla listen to the protest, another company is going to cut those trees.

If that area is marked as forest instead of industry/residential, no one can cut it, end of thread.

But as usual, protestors are barking up the wrong tree (pun intended)

Put a chimp and a gorilla in a cage and see what happens. This is true all the way down to black ants and red ants.

Most species tend to stick together and tolerate other species. But when something happens, like food shortage or not enough space, they stop tolerating the other species in favor for their own.

There are even social experiments when a group of humans are given 2 colors of tshirts and random tasks. The people with the same color shirt tend to group and work together for no appearant reason… Other than it is built in behavior.

You can’t deny this even if you find it an unpleasant property.

But it is hardwired in every sentient organism to give your own race/species more survival chance.

Guy on the internet: bullshit

With fruit and waste, thx to Mr. Fusion

My policy is: if you are weaker, you have to be extra carefull and give way to the others.

Usually in this order: pedestrian < bicycle < motorcycle < car < truck

This has served me well. No reason to risk your life in competing even if you are in the right. Being in the right serves you nothing when you’re dead.

Yea, and also "shine bright like a diamond "

Isn’t this easily detectable?

The camera sends a ping every 30sec to the host. Missing ping: sound silent alarm with possible tampering. Missing 4 pings, let all hell break loose alarm sound.

That is how my sensors work. They work on 433/868mhz, this is open band and easy to flood. If the hub misses a ping from a sensor, the tamper protection alarm goes of.

They putin a request for an interview with Zelensky.

True but you can’t deny by my example that people who invested in a more environmental friendly car are are punished for it.

You missed the part where it says 2 ton for full electric? More heavy electric cars with their instant torque and very high torque values tear up the road and its tyres more than the petrol variant.
