Wait, isn't fusion also possibly applicable as a weapon? I mean, thermonuclear weapons exist today with fission bomb being the fuze, once we achieve fusion ignition can't we build thermonuclear bomb from it that would not need ura

It does harm consumers by severely limiting their choices, especially if companies start putting the warning on every product by default, instead of actually making reasonable effort to prevent contamination.

Here in Europe they will actually ask you for a proof of employment/income before they sell you the cell phone plan. If you are unemployed then your only option is pre-paid sim, and those usually do not come with phones.

And in EU, it is technically not prohibited, but haven't really been a thing for a long time. One caveat: carriers do not really pay for your phones. Your phone bill would list two separate charges: service charge, for calls, internet

Sorry, I meant it more like UK is in many regards more similar to the US, than to the rest of Europe. I mean stuff like common law vs civil law, the way you start/grow your business, access to financing, etc.

Isn't that what all the Silicon Valley companies are doing by default, until caught?

I'm not sure how that "conventional violent response" would work. Russian military doctrine includes nuclear first strike when there's an "existential threat" to Russia, even if that threat is from conventional

Acorn was a British company, not European, and had significant help from Apple since 1980s. Nokia never really had any significant share of smartphone market once it took of. Nokia and Ericsson telecom infrastructure is inferior to Huawei&#

But those are small, isolated attacks. Front line is still deep in the Ukrainian territory. If Ukrainian counter-offensive manged to move it deep enough withing Russian borders, Russia would nuke them. And as for consequences I do not think

Musk's ego is just too big at this point for partnering with anyone on anything. He'd rather just "show them how it's done".

A small percentage? I would say most of humans, especially males, are territorial.

Please, the densities seen at the top of that list are really inhumane, more like prison camps than cities. Also, increasing density might be easy if you demolish 100 single family homes to build 10 five-stories buildings, but replacing Bar

Actually, Trump getting back to the White House might delay the pandemic, as he's not a fan of WHO (to say the least), and he'll most likely just reject the UN pandemic treaty. So basically, by voting for Biden you're voting

Robots aren't cheap either. And the safety concerns, or maybe even the nuisance of having those robots roaming the hallways, adding to the traffic might trump everything else.

You're overthinking it :) My original comment was just a reply to a guy who said "Bali used to be great, because women used to show their breasts", and I was like "believe me, some breasts you'd rather not see"

The only use case for iPhone Mirroring I can think of is online shopping, when I'm trying to finalize transaction on my Mac, but then realize that I have to login to my banking app to confirm payment, and my iPhone is in another room..

Well, unless you posses a superhuman ability to walk around with your eyes closed sometimes it is simply impossible not to see some breasts against your will.

Well, the same custom is present in Spanish beaches, but this is actually a double-edged sword. Once a woman starts showing their breasts she will continue to do so until her death. Some things you'll see in Spain cannot be unseen.

Yes, but usually one baby is enough to satisfy that drive, which is not enough to keep the population from shrinking. And recently some women decide to have 0 babies, and settle for a dog or cat instead. I've heard them using terms lik

Actually, for most of history it was common for everyone to simply WORK AT HOME, as farmers. And that was a job for whole family, including children as young as 6 years old.

Well, trying to credit Turing alone is what frustrates me the most. To add some context: 1. In Rejewski's own words, all variations of the Enigma were "quantitive, not qualitive" - adding more rotors, changing them more frequ

Well, the article focuses on the first 10 years of one's career. Once you hit that 10-year mark you are aiming for positions like Staff/Principal Engineer - those are harder to get, and often require you to spend more than 2 years

Maybe that's the US thing? In my country I'm not aware of any subsidies towards oil companies, on the contrary, more than a half of retail gas price is taxes.
