Collectable means that you can collect. If you have a judgment of $1M with a use-by date of 30 years, then that's collectable if and only if the person's current assets plus future earnings add up to $1M.

Uhm, doesn't that need to keep the furnaces at an even temperature? I don't know much about mini-mills specifically, but devices generally age quickly if you heat and cool them repeatedly. Anyway, it doesn't matter. In term

Maybe Elon has heard stories about socialist single-payer healthcare systems that deliver good results at half of American prices and wants to copy them in extenso?

If you want to be pedantic, hail falling on solar panels isn't free and happens sometimes. But adding up these kinds of cost requires a large dose of pedantry, because the costs are so small compared to the cost of operating devices th

Realpolitik is very German. The current phrase is "Wandel durch Handel", sounds more polite, but don't misunderstand. Germany will pay nice money and later Germany will call shots. 25 out of 27 EU members are subsidised by Ge

10% goes to waste… I've never worked anywhere that had significant servers and managed to load the production server CPUs anywhere near 90%. 9% perhaps. Yes I think that's a fair comparison. Both are about choosing the appropria

IIRC abuse correlates closely with the price of registration for the first year, and poorly or not at all with how open the registration policy is.

Why do they improve, ie. what are the relevant significant cost factors, and why were those low benefit regulations written in the first place?

Thanks for telling us, I guess. As you know, the reason for this is to improve water quality, or at least stop the decline. Do you have any thoughts about how to achieve that goal?

Strange. I think this is saying that OpenAI provided two VMs, deleted one, restored from a half-recent backup, but then the restored data isn't usable in court. Why not? If it's about taint, then why could the data be usable in co

Have been there, have also been to the Netherlands. There isn't really a big difference in the total space available, in my limited experience. You can find a big difference for a photo op, sure. Based on where I have been, I guess th

Germany's a good example. In 1914 the ministry was called Kriegsministerium, and an invasion wasn't seen as a necessarily bad idea. I think it already was, but at the time, you could argue in Berlin that a country that started a

Democracy isn't as simple as that. When you get 49.9% of the vote and can form a government, that isn't carte blanche to do anything and everything. A long-lived democracy depends on governments that take care not to offend the vo

Reverting would also be rude there. Their project culture assumes that you discuss on the list first. He couldn't very well commit without discussion when he's complaining that that other guy commits without discussion.

If you want to be formal about it, none of the countries with Baltic coastlines are formally at war.

Minor changes aren't reviewed very much, major changes are typically reviewed when someone posts them on the list before committing them. The author is complaining that this is a major change, it's complicated his package (a heavi

Are you sure about that? I happened to notice that at least in some cases, the change of terminology happened roughly when it became clear that offensive war was a losing proposition in terms of money and resources. I suspect that as invadi

Yes… A lot of them really need have it spelt out, twice, in large clear type.

No it isn't. Both of the two Chinese registries are open, pretty much anyone can register ships there. It's a bit like the .tv domain — if you see something.tv you can't assume that it's a company in the country Tuvalu.

Strictly speaking, Bluesky doesn't force you. It does set defaults though, and we know most people aren't going to change them. I guess Mastodon is better for you. I quite like Bluesky, its defaults appear to lead to civil behavio

I think I do. The upstream question was "how do nordic people feel about …" though. The nazis have their fetishes, we nordic people don't feel bothered about that. The image we perceive most people to have of us is completely

Well, most people in the world see us as those nice well-behaved countries on the upper edge of the map, and ask about the midnight sun or something. Any other viewpoint is surprising to us. A viewpoint that confuses our reality with a nazi
