How fast is #technology progressing? If you purchase the @Radeon card announced today, you will have a computer more powerful than the largest #supercomputer in the world in 2004. IOW, consumers can have computing power relatively recently limited only to ultra-elite.

Interesting thesis: The US should focus on killing people with high @tiktok_us ratings, to get down with kids.

The fact is a lot of people even my age don't remember Zawahiri, and many young people never have known. Do a search for Zawahiri on TikTok, there's nothing. This isn't an endorsement of any position, it's a reflection on how even something like 9/11 can fade in popular knowledge

Since serious security concerns with regard to #Xiaomi smartphones have been raised in #Lithuanian and #Taiwanese revelations, #EU Commission should urgently give its own answers: What is your analysis? What steps do you intend to take? What conclusions must we draw? #censorship

Having a baby is way more fun than people lead you to believe. Even happy parents would mostly say things that caused me vague trepidation, the most popular admonishment being "your life will change forever," which always felt ominous. What nobody tells you is how fun it is.

As an extremely anecdotal litmus test of the Australian populations feeling about the nuclear sub deal, my mother - who is a pacifist, is anti nuclear, is skeptical of US geotechnical policy and hates the current PM - hasn’t stopped by exiting me about how exciting it is
