This is how the grip of the American empire is loosened.

I’m sure this time it’s worth all the theft, resource usage and environmental destruction…

Who mentioned Korea?

Insane/totally unsurprising that the BBC which pretends to be a serious and unbiased news source is pushing this pure fantasy.

They’ve already won. They’re going for the high score like the high score on an arcade game.

It’s a score. It’s how well you do at capitalism. Number goes up, you did good. It’s not a practical thing. Even at 1bn they had enough to set them, their kids and their grandkids up for life. It’s all about the bragging rights.

Loving the school yard tier banter from Elon. Looking forward to him breaking out the big guns later: “I no u r but wat am I? 😂😂😂”

I mean ooops, big error from that cleaner, but I kinda feel like this is on the lab. The lesson here is that it probably shouldn’t be set up so that it is possible to turn off sample freezers so simply. And if sample storage is so critical perhaps they should have distributed storage so one freezer loss isn’t such a disaster. What happens if that site loses power for a significant period of time? Why is there no alert system of temp rises?

In computing, if a data storage company stored all their data in volatile storage with an easy ‘power off’ switch (that makes an annoying sound) and no backups for their data I don’t think any one of their clients would be very impressed with them when the exceedingly inevitable happens and they lost all their clients data.
