Most people don't see similarity but it is extreme. Both are designed to protect you at all costs without you being part of decision making. Both are designed to maximize profit with same time minimizing effort.

What I mean under "minimizing effort"? Security experts always tell to have latest and most updated version, right? Well, security experts are also part of the game.

What is most nightmare scenario for hackers? People having 1000 different OSes and their releases, especially different network and internet related parts in them. Such way they will need to put 100x more effort to get same result, as despite common opinion not only old OS has lot of known bugs (that are easy to fix with pinpoint update or even by just disabling certain feature) but they also lack tons of new, specially introduced bugs that are also widely known but not to you, they are known among closed circle of hackers, experts and government agencies.

Same is true for vaccination. Without compulsory vaccination you have tons of different antibodies and you can't efficiently introduce new virus variants, but with vaccine you precisely know all antibodies that can be formed and you can simply avoid having same proteins in new strain, it makes life so much more easy for weaponized virus labs.

Americans had a lot less sex in 2018 compared to 2009, according to a new study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior.

They found that while 24% of adults reported not having penile-vaginal intercourse over the prior year in 2009, 28% of adults reported not having intercourse over the prior year in 2018. Adolescents were also increasingly abstinent – 79% reported not having sex over the previous 12 months in 2009 while 89% reported not having sex over the previous 12 months in 2018.

The data also permitted the researchers to estimate how often the average American adult aged 18-49 has sex each year. In 2009, it was about 63 times. In 2018, it was about 47 times.

Both adolescents and adults also reported fewer instances of partnered masturbation, oral sex, and anal sex in 2018 compared to 2009, which surprised the researchers.

Compared to 2009, adolescents and younger adults are spending more time on social media, and playing more video games.

Just stop and think. To increase revenue from games and their other apps two giants reduced number of sex interactions among young by 3.6x times. This is staggering. So, it is quite normal that on next step they though that releasing COVID is normal thing to do.

China has piloted its first hydrogen fuel cell hybrid locomotive. According to Xinhua News Agency, the test took place on a railroad for transporting coal in northeastern China.

This railway line connects the Baiyinhua Coal Mine in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region with the Jinzhou Port in Liaoning Province. Its length is 627 km. The commissioning of the new locomotive will reduce carbon emissions by about 96 thousand tons per year.

Nothing is random in this news.
