The Russian web is surprisingly helpful for cyber security or undocumented Windows APIs. They also seem to have a better ecosystem of small Windows utilities to do obscure system tasks (like look up your connected USB devices, or check your memory for defects).
While you're at it, why not speak of Petain and collaboration with Nazis? What is holding you back?
Why are you speaking of different times with a different government? And times when there was not at all the sense of climate crisis we have now?
The Macron government has been elected in the light of the AGW emergency (even if Macron is still trying to save the growth "en meme temps", but oh well).
The whole population, the mainstream politicians, and the media, have a total different mindset than at the time of the greenpeace ship bombing.
Not at all on a large scale. In France only one single plant is prepared to be restarted, among a lot of criticism from the population. This has nothing to do with "restarting coal" in a broad meaning.
> LNG
Lots of hesitation about that from the governments, too. Very criticized, but the rationale they are proposing is that the LNG infrastructure would be useful for hydrogen later (not my words), and that they are still doing the energy transition towards renewable, only it will not be done in time so they need the gas.
You see, the West (except some illiberal outsiders) is completely sure that the energy transition towards renewables is the solution.
The only variable is time, and whether the various populations are ready and willing to suffer during the first few winters or not.
> propaganda in the west
I'm sorry I think you are not seeing the reality: tons of diverse opinions in the West. But false claims are not just equal to true claims, in that fewer people believe them and fewer relay them. That is why most people are against fossil fuels, as they understand the mechanisms underlying AGW.
But on the other hand is there propaganda in India? Are the media free?
Is Modi an illiberal?
You broke the site guidelines badly. We ban accounts that take HN threads into flamewar like this. We also ban accounts that use HN primarily for political/ideological battle, which it looks like you've been doing.
If you continue to post like this, we will ban you, so please stop posting like this. Ideological hell battle is not what this site is for, and it destroys what it is for.

I think the intent is to clarify that the vehicles should be available to the general public, rather than just in some DARPA lab somewhere or something.
Aaaand congratulations to the end beneficiaries of all of this action - big pharma, who made a boatload selling highly addictive, legal drugs and leaving a trail of decline, death and despair in its trail. Clamp down on the illegal stuff while simultaneously boosting the potency of legal stuff to the point it's often greater. Those dirty generic heroin users should use Fentanyl patches, like Duragesic®.
What are some of the applications of this technology?
Edit: I'm also wondering if anyone has any idea as to the estimated cost of such a technology? Thousands, tens/hundred of thousands, millions? A quick search of lidar sensors seem to be in the range of $2500 - ~$10000 for ranges of sub 30 meters.
This technology seems similar(?) to lidar from what I can tell.
Military, police, surveillance. The usual suspects when it comes to oppressive regimes like china.
On a more upbeat note though, imagine the possibility of producing a 3d image of your internals during keyhole surgery or inspecting remote structures like solar panels and dams via satellite.
My local police department would be really interested in this tech. They've been using automated license plate readers, facial recognition tech, drones, predictive policing, and have a Ring doorbell partnership.
An existential crisis for humanity is absolutely NOT the kind of climate that would cause humans to stop valuing a nation, a people, a culture, or their ancestry. I would argue that it is only the benign environment that most humans have enjoyed for the last 60 years or so that has caused these values to mean less than they always have.
