If the US wants the IAEA to agree to something like this, especially considering the global economic impact of refusing, I imagine the IAEA could be convinced. The JCPOA came about when the US pushed for it in 2013. https://en.wi

I love multiple 9s as much as the next guy but that's only 27 hours per year of downtime. For a mostly free (for me) service, I'm thankful.

The navigable part of the Strait of Hormuz is only 15-ish miles wide, maybe less. There is no way the US can convoy screen anything without significant loss in sailors and ships. The WW2 convoy situation was far easier to escort (but still

I’m a pretty mid around the house DIYer, and I commend the ingenuity. But will never understand someone going to the expense and hassle of buying a Billy and converting it into built-ins. Someone who can do the conversion is also capable

Whenever I see this in practice I always think a determined killer would clearly know not to attack the “secure” building. Rather, attack the densely-packed line of people waiting to swipe their badges. Unnervingly, this usually occurs to

This is amazing work, and I certainly respect the talent of those involved. That said, my question to those interested is why? I've been a daily user of both Ubuntu since 2005 and Mac since 2012. There are some edge case differences

That wasn't the claim. Ability + interest + time + budget + ... are what makes a serious tool.

Watch what governments do, not what they say. This isn’t about addiction, it’s about censorship. If you limit the amount of time someone can spend getting information, and make it inconvenient with UI changes, it’s much harder to have emba

The infighting is so tedious. We really need to peacefully explore the "national divorce" idea again. In the 1860s the concept was too intermingled with the evil of slavery to be considered separately. But realistically, instead

Now that's an idea I think a lot of people can get behind. From the left, the US is a bad host. From the right, get those globalists out of my country. Everybody wins.

I'm solidly in camp 2, the "common sense" camp that doesn't care about buzzwords. That said, I don't consider running Kafka to be a headache. I work at a mid-sized company, processing billions of Kafka events per d

Do you criticize the government too much? You're now a "specified person". Sure, the court may overturn the decision eventually, but for the next 3 years your life is ruined. This is the COVID trucker protest response play

I've had a Moonlander and a few other ergo mechanical keyboards. I never liked them and they didn't seem to help my forearm pain as much as I hoped. After a lot of time and well over $1,000, the 2 things that solved it for me wer

> The intense Nazi bias makes it a bit of a hard sell to me. I haven't used it for anything social/political. Do you mean actual 1930s-1940s Nazis or are you using the term analogically?

A little humility would be in order here. "I am not aware of this" is quite different than "there is no evidence whatsoever." The latter comment implies you are aware of the reporting and issues and have carefully weig

Interesting that there roughly 700K daily posters but only 390K followers. I have no idea what other social media numbers are but having ~2x the posters as followers doesn't seem like a sign of health to me.

I've always liked the `select...from` order because it helps me understand the goal before reading the logic. In other words, I want to end up with this, and here's how I want to go about getting it.

Guessing you were not a 10-ish year old kid in the early 90s. I had the same experience as the OP and it was very common. I've talked to numerous parents my age who have lamented that we can't let our kids have the same childhoo

I don’t know who the “you people” in that comment refers to. I actually hope we never have another civil war. Historically, you’re much more likely to end up with the French Revolution, the current situation in Syria, etc. than a fresh, b
