I would assume that people in a similar demographics are interested in similar topics. Adjusting the answer to a person within a demographic would therefore adjust it to all people within that demographic and interested in that specific topic.

Or maybe it’s just the nature of the answer being more personal that makes it more appealing to people in general, no matter their background.

Teams pretends it’s an app that can do a lot of things at once but for literally all of the things it pretends to be good at it is the worst possible choice.

They removed russian maintainers that are associated with sanctioned companies. Individual russian contributers were unaffected by this.

That’s cheating, none of that movie made any sense whatsoever.

Agreed. The important difference here is that in these cases they do not serve in their form as a (military) force. They have no more authority in these situations than a random citizen already performing said tasks. Performing policing duties, they inherently have power and authority.

There’s a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state. The other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.

Even in that case the app doesn’t need to phone home. It doesn’t even need an internet connection on its own. You’d have to download the update yourself and then use the app to apply the patch, which is less user friendly to not-so-tech-savy users but possible. Just send an email with the necessary information to users who have subscribed to receive these kind of updates.

Sometimes there’s a tie for a position which cannot be resolved by the current rules or won’t be played out at all.

In athletics, for example in pole vault, you have several tries to reach a certain height, if two athletes are tied at the same height the amount if failed tries is compared, but this still leads to shared places quite often. In the sports where you’re scoring points you might get a tie by having the same highest score, which is usually resolved by comparing the second or third best score, but even that might not always be sufficient. In some of the tournament sports there are no games for third place, so the losers of the semi finals share third.

The value of the material is that it already is in space. Getting stuff into orbit is incredibly costly. Parking an asteroid in orbit would allow us to mine it and then fabricate space installations on the asteroid and/or using materials from it.

Personal EVs are not a solution. We need less cars overall, not replace combustion with EV. EVs still significantly contribute to pollution, noise and car-centered infrastructure. EVs are just the car industry’s way of continuing business as usual without changing anything and is not environmentally friendly.

The only solution is more and better public infrastructure, more bikes and walkable cities, where the important things are either close by or sufficiently accessible by public transport.
