I wonder if turbulence would make it more fun or a complete clusterfuck.

Glances nervously at the recent Bavarian election result

No, it either does proton-proton collisions or heavy ions, both regular matter. At TeV energies the added energy from anihalating matter with antimatter isn’t that much of a contribution anymore that it would justify the added complexity.

Its predecessor collided positrons with electrons though. But the LEP was more for precise refinement of known interactions and not so much about reaching the highest possible energies.

OK, cool now teach your family that calls their web browser “The internet” enough computer science to adequately understand and audit this proposed open system and convince themselves that their votes are counted in a fair, verifiable and secret manner. Also that the implementation does not have obvious side channels and what is actually running is built from the published source code.

Like, If I was part of some shady powerful elite I’d love a fully automated setup. Most people will not be able to check the system deeper than “phone displays green check mark” without an unreasonable time investment.

On the other hand, “room full of people opens box full of papers and counts them while verifying each other” is intuitive enough for almost anyone to grasp and gain confidence in.

The recent war on food would be exactly how I’d expect Nestlé to act if they acquired cruise missles.

Oh, it’s Wunderwaffenzeit. Maybe we can interest them in some battleships on tracks, intercontinental artillery, bomber Blimps or an iceberg-aircraft-carrier (it’s still going to catch fire somehow).

We have credible intelligence that an individual named “Ben Shapiro” is the head of the terrorist group known as “Facts and logic”. I have therefore authorized an air strike on his assumed location to address this grave threat to national security.

At the very least, make it clear that whatever looks at civilian ships funny or thinks about firing missiles at the ports will have a prompt smoking accident

Just following orders right? The 100% completion run in warcrimes is surely just the fault of a small minority. The population and most of the army are the real victims.

Wait, where have I heard that one before…

Considering that Turkey had no problem with shooting down a Russian aircraft, this is either going to be really effective or really funny.

Loki. If he doesn’t find a way to mess it up, it’s truly bulletproof

But that included not paying for servers, firing people and finding out later that they had irreplaceable knowledge, demanding constant crunch time from the poor sods that are left and randomly turning off “unnecessary” services.

I’d be really surprised if that made the overall state better.

From a purely technical perspective I’m a bit confused how this clown-car has kept going for so long, after all the slash-and-burn restructuring that’s happened. Hopefully there’s going to be some engineers telling the story when Musk manages to fubar it after all.

Are people just hoping if Ukraine to rolls over already things will get cheaper again? Are they so stuck in a “USA/NATO bad” worldview that there’s no room for accepting someone else may be the asshole? Are they afraid of getting nuked? Not actually believing it but personally profiting of the position, be it through votes, attention or money? Something else entirely?

Whatever it is, it’s sad that there’s enough of it going around that Putin still seems to believe that he can grind this war out long enough for western support to decline.
