I had that moment with the flash back in Captain Marvel. I believe it was a “20 years earlier” and the sound track changes to Garbage/Only happy when it rains… The sound track of my friend group in the last years of school. Damn did I feel old…

Sounds like they are reinventing the main frame, just without the specialized hardware support that guarantees things go right.

Any IT device can be hacked. We completely missed the evolutionary opportunity to have secure computing devices. Proper object capability machines would make it possible. But quick and dirty and by Friday is what we got instead.

Huh, good job they developed that Rusty Dagger for Ukraine then. They could make a few for themselves on the quick.

I’m confused this was an issue. I thought history was pretty clear on Europeans introducing smallpox to the Americas. And thus caused an incredible death toll among the indigenous population.

I mean it’s a neat biochemical feat to have stumbled over proof. But I was under the impression it was never in doubt.

I think a significant number of states will now want to develop their own nuclear weapons. The US has been teaching people for the last 20 years that there is a significant difference in how they will treat countries that have the bomb like North Korea and those that haven’t, like Irak, Iran, Afganistan, Denmark and other NATO countries.

NATO countries I believe will mostly ralley around the UK and France. But even among them, in the medium run, I believe there might be some wanting their own. Turkey has just recently announced a missile that basically only makes sense as a nuklear weapon.

The rules based international relations was something making countries believe they don’t need nuclear weapons of their own. This premise doesn’t hold in the same way anymore. We’ll probably end up with 30-40 countries with nuclear weapons.
