The fact is these are high tech machines. To follow your example with the car, you don't need to replace the battery but an ECU, for which there are no available design and you have no idea how to build it.
Add to this that probably if you make a mistake in your try, you destroy the machine.

Basically what ASLM is saying is that they can brick the machine with a software update and even if not bricked the machine cannot run long without specialized maintenance and spare parts (that they obviously will not provide anymore). True, China can try to clone them, but even if/when understand how to make them, you then need to make them, a thing which seems out of question for now for China (else they already would have such machines).

They don’t live long enough, sadly. If they did, they could easily be the dominant species.

The problem is not how long they live but that they don't take care of the offspring, so every octopus need to learn everything from scratch again.

You need to pay for services you use. I’m exhausted with online entitlement that it all should be free.

So, why Youtube Premium has ads ?

Damn, a security researcher discovered what was known from late 1990's/early 2000's: a link on a webpage could take you in a place that it is not the one the link say it will be.

That isn’t realistic, and Russia has nuclear weapons too.

And so ? Should we let them to do whatever they want just because "we have nukes" ? I

Too bad we let 4 years to pass doing nothing

There is a difference between saying " If we go in with all we got, we’ll be home by Christmas!" and "we need to prepare so if they come with all they got, they will not be home before Christmas".

It is not people feels pretty pre-WWI (at least pre-WWII) but on the other hand they don't want another post-WWI (or post-WWII)

And the only way is to be able to say to your enemy "don't even try to start" and meaning it.

Starting a was is a bad idea. Preparing to defend yourself it not a bad idea.

I don’t see the parallel, because so far, Russia and Germany have literally one thing in common.

Two in fact: that they illegally annexed part of other countries and that they breach treaties they signed.

You’re extrapolating that several highly unlikely events will just so happen to occur the same way they did the first time.

No, I am only pointing out that what you suggest was already tried and failed exactly because at the time they wanted to preserve peace, whatever the cost.

It was already tried to concede to the small demands in exchange of quiet living, we know how it ended.

Your entire argument could just as easily be applied to america in like 4 different decades between WW2 and now, yet not once did America start a world war as a result.

Ok, I documented what I say, care to do the same ?

The situation in Russia is wildly different from 1930s Germany, and trying to declare them to be the same is far too reductive to be useful analysis.

Different yes, but the end result is the same.

Also, Putin invaded more of Ukraine because it is literally on the way to Crimea, and owning just the peninsula is weird. The entirety of the invasion consists of the coast of a single large bay.

So, what part of your country are you willing to give up to your neighbour ?

There is no logical reason to think that Putin is the next Hitler.

Except that he is doing exactly the same, at the moment.

He literally just wants a region that has historically been highly important to Russia/USSR. It’s like if America were currently invading Texas, because we lost it to Mexico for 20 years and want it back.

Man, I am from Italy. Following your reasoning big part of Europe, all the Mediterranean sea and a good part of the Middle East would be Italian since all these territories were part of the Roman Empire.

True, but that don't seems to be a bad idea after all: it make the car less expensive when you buy it so maybe more people could afford one and currently for that montly price you will not even do one full tank of fuel here.

They are no longer idealised, and CEO’s have decided to take company failures out on employees instead of their inability to target long-term success.

It is not CEO's inability (or at least not always). You cannot think long term when the only thing that matter is the next quarter result.

Nope. Professionals have standards 😂

Seriously, Meta is for me in a very short list of companies where I would not work under any circustances, so the pay could be as good as you want but is a no.
