It make sense, when you make a decision you make it based on the data you have not the truth. So security theaters are effective as long as people who are thinking about commiting a crime think it is working. And they care about getting caught.

If you have kernel access you can already do almost everything so a vulnerability on top of that isn't that bad since no one should have kernel access to your computer

I have a VPS that uses 1GB of RAM, it has 6-7 apps running in docker containers which isn't the most ram efficient method of running apps.

A light OS really helps, plus the most used app that uses a lot of RAM actually reduce their consumption if needed, but use more when memory is free, the web browser. On one computer I have chrome running with some hundreds of MB used, instead of the usual GBs because RAM is running out.

So it appears that memory is full,but you can actually have a bit more memory available that is "hidden"

Tactics against the far right? What tactics? He has done absolutely nothing against the rise of the far right and helped it so many times.

Hell he has become more extremist every year himself.

What works against the far is known, we have already done it in the past : everything done by the CNR after the war. A social safety net. He has done nothing but destroying it, not only has he failed to fight the far right, he is actively enabling it.

On a more general note than the answer you already got, he is extremely authoritarian, absolutely never listen to the people same for his government, refuses to change his mind on anything and isn't open to discussion on anything. Even with the state of emergency being declared on part of the territory, he didn't give anything away to make it stop.

So he destroys the social net, and people's beliefs in democracy : that's the two things you have to do to raise far right anywhere.

Medical use is absolutely revolutionary. From GP's consultations to reading tests results, radios, AI is already better than humans and will be getting better and better.

Computers are exceptionally good at storing large amount of data, and with ML they are great at taking a lot of input and inferring a result from that. This is essentially diagnosing in a nutshell.

The idea would simply be to stop giving so many taxes cuts to companies.

In tenace we recently raised the retirement age because according to the government there was not enough money, the usual bullshit.

Why bullshit you ask? Because it is the very same government that removed three times as much as what they said was missing from pension funds in taxes on companies. They also reduced taxes on capital gains, to bring it to a lower level as what someone middle class would pay on their salary, part of which goes to finance pensions.

We have the money, we always have, it is just a matter of choosing where to put it. Most government of the West decided to put it in the hands of the few richest.

And he owes around 5k€ in back rent! That is proper justice for once.

Why do airlines still buy Boeing? New airplanes they make are clearly dangerous, and they don't seem to be able to fix it for the next one, as we are already at the next ones...

Once again they are so close yet so far from a solution : Just reverse the taxation schemes on planes and trains.

In France at least, airplane fuel isn't taxed, electricity is. Train ticket have 20% sales tax, airplane tickets don't. Just reverse that and see how that changes things.

There are uses for NFT, but it is clearly not what they are famous for.

NFT aren't pictures of monke, they are a way to authenticate something in a decentralised way, so no trust in another entity needed. The picture isn't the NFT, and that is why you can just right click-copy it.

You can't however just copy the NFT, the actual token. Having a token that's verifiably owned by someone is useful for certain things. It's like a certificate of authenticity, but digital.
