A VPN can absolutely protect you from hostile software elsewhere on the network, so long as you don't accept traffic from any source other than the VPN. Doing that correctly is a fairly sophisticated thing to do though, and a sufficiently sophisticated threat might find a way to attack you still.
It all depends on your own technical ability and whether you're protecting yourself from a script kiddie or palantir.
It's almost directly mentioned in the text in the image, too. Inspired by starship troopers? The film which is all about a caricature of fascism? They couldn't be much more blunt without actually using the word nazi
DNA is like a blueprint which describes how to make a person, but it doesn't actually describe the person. There are a whole bunch of things which are slightly random, and will come out differently every time.
Also, there are a lot of things which change over your lifetime because of things you experience. Since your DNA doesn't change*, a clone has to start from scratch and would change differently unless it experiences the same things, including things like the food they eat.
*Strictly speaking DNA can kind-of change, but nowhere near enough to store the kinds of things you're talking about
Racing in orbit probably isn't generally that interesting, because there's an easily-calculated best way to get from any place to any other place and everyone would just do that. It would be like racing clocks
I don't think you can. It's not a particularly noteworthy concept, given that nobody does it, and I suspect the Wikipedia admins wouldn't want a page on it until and unless there's something interesting to say or there are a non-trivial number of people who want to know about it.
The fact that there isn't even a name for what you're describing seems to argue against it being noteworthy, as well. If anyone was interested in discussing it, a name would emerge pretty quickly by consensus.
It sounds like the only person we know was using LLMs was the plaintiff. He believes the court was as well, but I'm not aware of any reason to believe his accusation
Who said anything about overthrowing the whole system? There are plenty of examples of people who got what they wanted by violence, like the suffragettes or the IRA
There is a virtual force acting to separate each part of the chain from each other part, but locally that force is orders of magnitude less than the bonding forces holding it together. The structure and density of the chain is therefore dominated by electromagnetic forces, rather than the expansion of space.
At large enough scale the expansion force will grow to become comparable to, or exceed, exceed the binding forces. That will cause the chain to stretch, but the electromagnetic forces will still exist and still be applying a restorative force trying to contract the chain again.
I'm pretty sure this requires many light-years of chain though, unless the acceleration of the universe is accelerating (in which case this same principle will eventually tear apart all matter, of any size), and I very much doubt that physics allows a material with the necessary properties
If you're attributing "war fighters" to this administration, then you're mistaken. Maybe they imported it or something, I don't know, but I know for a fact that the British armed forces have been using the word for a long time. I suspect other NATO and/or commonwealth countries do as well.
It's supposed to be a generic word which doesn't imply gender or which service they're in, or precisely what they do, just generally being a label for everyone involved in carrying out war.
In principle, if you have robots which can do all the work then the amount of stuff available becomes decoupled from the number of people to provide it.
The whole concept of there not being enough of something to go around goes away, because if you don't have enough of something you tell the robots to build some more robots to make that thing.
This presumes much more capable robots than we're able to make, of course, and also that there's an unlimited amount of raw resource available. That could be the case if you're able to send to robots to mine the asteroid belt, but it certainly isn't the case now.
That isn't actually infinite, of course, but I don't think it's unreasonable to describe the economic equivalent of "all you can eat" as "quasi-infinite", if you're feeling grandiose.
It's also not going to happen in the immediate future, because the technology simply isn't there yet, but people who have drunk the AI kool-aid seriously believe it.
You probably saw something which said the key can't be remapped, which is likely to be true but only because windows won't let you, rather than being any kind of technical problem
That's nonsense. To do what it does, it sends a signal to the operating system. It's entirely within the operating system's power to do something different when it gets that signal
How about falcon 9? That was flying for years before it worked properly. The only reason it didn't get the same criticism as starship is that they were using it to actually launch payloads during that time.
Starship can't get away with that because the upper stage is big enough they can't be careless about letting it drift back to earth, they have to be in control, but it's not actually taking more time than falcon 9 did.
Meanwhile falcon 9 is now the most successful and reliable rocket in human history, so criticisms you can level at spacex, you can't claim their approach doesn't work
The only reason these test flights aren't reaching orbit is because they're actively aiming for a suborbital trajectory. They're not "yet to successfully launch anything from orbit", they're yet to want to go to orbit in the first place.
The difference between what they get and an actual orbit is minute, relatively speaking. They've amply demonstrated that if orbit was what they wanted, they'd be there with every flight.
They're sticking with suborbital flights for now because they still have things to work on to make it more reliable, but none of them are "the rocket's too heavy"
I can't see how they'd do it, proton gets installed by the steam client. That client doesn't run with root privilege, so at the very least they'd have to trigger a password dialog which would be highly obvious.

Surely "70,000 pints worth" is just 70,000 pints? It's not like there's some conversation to go from pints to a quantity of liquid

No, the wires do not become less dense.

Not the radio spectrum, by definition. Visible light and radio are different parts of the spectrum
I don't think they intended to be taken literally
I can't see how they'd do it, proton gets installed by the steam client. That client doesn't run with root privilege, so at the very least they'd have to trigger a password dialog which would be highly obvious.
No they fuckng aren't. The people in this cartoon are literally holding conversations with each other.
I wish people wouldn't make comments like this just because they don't understand the different ways people can socialise
That's still poisoning. It doesn't have to be a dangerous dose to constitute poison, it just has to be harmful in any way
