No. The whole day was the „brief moment“.

I don’t quite follow the headline‘s logic. It seems that lower imports and higher exports are working the same direction, not one making up for the other. If imports are plunging, sanctions are working. They may have more foreign currency r

These products, just like any offensive weapon, aren't quite as useful for defensive purposes, or when used by someone who doesn't do this stuff 24/7. The justification that "somebody else would have done it" is mor

There are a few thousand kids (and their parents) in Yemen that became all-too-literal "end customers" for American exports of the non-cultural or Apple variety. It's fundamentally the same, except the impact was not metaphor

Doesn't the fact that she had to resign point to the opposite conclusion, namely that these governments are distinct entities with sometimes conflicting interests?

Two people from distinct populations spot each other from afar. Both have more incentives to avoid each other than to meet, so they turn around. Because it's stressful and/or people are disappointed that they didn't do what t

Growing up 250m from where the Neandertals were found, I got to watch in real time as the common (or communicated) thinking on it evolved, from the image of the primitive brute to the model that, wearing a suit, wouldn't seem out of pl

Well, I guess https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=William_B._Shubb&... is the issue? It shouldn't be surprising that accusing someone of being a homophobe would require a reference.

This story would be a lot more useful/believable if you included the judge's name. And maybe what "chat channel of admins" you're talking about, because I have 170,000 across wikipedia sites and have no idea what th

“Coercion is coercion” is an inane idea. If you’re kicked out of a bar for being drunk, it’s coercion. To say that there’s no difference to the Holocaust is, at the very least, deeply misguided.

No, it’s not what’s happening. It’s just what ill-informed Musk fans think it means, because they don’t know the term, don’t bother to check it, and consider everything that doesn’t praise Musk as explicit condemnation. Sort-of exactly the

Nuclear power plants can adjust output by about +- 5 percentage points per 15 minutes. That allows reacting to demand and other producers on the timescale of daily fluctuations. Gas can be regulated +- 100 % within minutes, and +- 15 % almo

At this point, nobody wants to change the policy. Not the greens, not the conservative party, nor the companies that own these power plants. It is simply not possible to run a dozen nuclear reactors on a two-weeks'-notice timescale, at

They've taken in 200,000 refugees in the last six weeks or so, or as much as the US has, in total, since 2016. They are also paying about 10 x as much as the US in GDP terms for the existing sanctions against Russia, because they do fa

Yes, nuclear is so easy. Just chose it from the "power plant" options on the right, find a 4x4 empty square, and place it. Then, connect it to your power grid. For those not playing Sim City, it's a bit more complicated. Gove

The Exposure Notification API was released in April 2020 or, in other words, at the point where 99.5 % of US deaths had not yet happened. That strikes me as rather early in this pandemic. The feature also strikes me as the most significant

You're just restating the original point in a more convoluted way. Yes, Apple makes money from scams such as this. No, it's unlikely to be anywhere near the amount where it would matter, even in aggregate.
