Sure but that means a workaround for machines affected, but not needing correct dates could be to set their clocks to midnight Jan 1 1970 and have another 65 years to sort it out

Anyway, the biggest problem will be embedded systems, including many household and business smart devices. Several I have are definitely 32 bit machines and might use 32 bit time precise to the second. Some I don't know. I have no idea what processor my TV uses

And as long as they get updated, it'll be fine. Probably cheaper than Y2K. Note that medical and industrial control stuff generally doesn't care about the date

On 32 bit computers

Do you have any 32 bit computers anymore? Any running important stuff that needs good dates?

53% or 53% of those who voted?

You perhaps need to talk to people if you think people now have a high opinion of Elon Musk. His reputation has crashed since he bought Twitter

Now perhaps you'll still hear space fans singing his praise, but the general position holds no respect for him

China has a problem. It isn't good at finding the best people and putting them into science (or whatever else). Instead it gets the loyal people and gives them the best jobs, they then select people below them however they will

People then strive for recognition and advancement so scientific fraud is rife

This idea has been around for a while. Make government more efficient by putting a private enterprise person in charge

It never worked because the private enterprise person got efficiency by having a cool project or forceful personality in the private enterprise which let them pay their employees poorly. Or maybe they paid their employees well and had excellent success. But then they have government employees who are hard to fire, have highly specialist knowledge, aren't in it for profit and so the private enterprise maverick is usually [worse than] useless

I don't expect it to work this time either, especially as Musk is more interested in Tesla, SpaceX, and his other companies

You say that as if you would claim that Mr Trump is competent, despite his (presumably age related) mental problems and his complete lack of ability in doing politics

I listen to music on a new music radio station - the good new music really stands out

Most people just like the (better bits of) stuff they listened to when they were young

Surely one could use the same exploit to restore the original boot code as the malware used to corrupt it

If you are working in a different number system with other people ten loses its unique meaning just like any word that has another technical meaning.

In code 0x10 is hex 10 (what you'd call sixteen), but in spoken technical English you don't need to pronounce the 0x

I don't see the need to bring values into this, this is about the naming of number systems. We really have no more claim to ten being this many (..........) than hexadecimal people have to claim ten has this many (................)

As in Margaret Thatcher was an Englishman?

They need an enclosure

Everything is under control

Iodine in salt is a health measure, people were not getting enough iodine, so they added it to the salt

But that's not going to degrade.

That says you cannot replace individual broken cells in a Tesla pack. That doesn't say you can't replace the pack

Aren't all the cells worn in a ten year old battery?

My car wouldn't have done that. Had I fallen unconscious it would either follow the road or stop

But that's also not because it's electric.
