That bill appears strictly performative, especially when the Democrats can and have shut down the House by merely demanding a vote on attaching Epstein riders to bills. If there were to be a bill that successfully implemented a 25% tax on o

That would be my first guess if the devices were found in the Middle East, but legitimate interconnect in the US is stupid cheap. (See e.g. Twilio's SIP pricing; I assume they have reasonable supply chain security.)

Compartments are just for SCI. IC agencies do like putting all the classification markings on cafeteria menus, but they do non-SCI as well. Both SAPs and SCI control systems can be unacknowledged/unpublished, and foreign releasability

Congress could remove Texas's exemptions from those rules at any time. It's got nothing to do with whether and how much the Texas grid connects with others.

Those writers used different media (and it's in caddies) which can't be read by a normal LD player.

CS is a real degree, but it's more math than engineering. CS and engineering have nothing in common beyond math and physics prerequisites.

We can't even terraform the Empty Quarter. Doing it to Mars and then somehow giving that planet a magnetic field is fantasy.

If by "available" you mean that there's a standard. There may be PHY designs that exist but they're not available for purchase, probably because there's no identifiable market. Any potential customer who for some re

The process is that they need to be designated by specified cabinet members based on published criteria. If Funnull believe that they weren't lawfully designated (e.g., because they're actually in Peoria or whatever), they can hir

Secession would require renegotiating Treaties 4, 6, 7, 8, and 10. Good luck with that.

NJ has 10M residents, of which ~500k work in NYC, and at most 2% of those would pay the congestion charge based on their pre-charge commute. Even if every one of those people previously voted D and went hard R plus convinced five of their n

American ISPs without competition charge double what Norwegian ones do for substantially worse service. That money isn't used for physical plant; if it isn't going to profits, where is it being spent?

The government gave large incumbent ISPs money to do exactly what they did (anything but actually providing internet access). If, as you claim, the money was intended to somehow benefit their customers, it would have been taken back.

So fix MTA. Their system expansion budget is currently $15B/year, so at the costs of a low-wage, low-regulation, totally ununionized country like (checks notes) Norway, they could be building 60 km of new lines per year.

But in this case the Facebook board (which has a fiduciary duty to the company, not to Zuck) paid $5B when the BATNA had them pay $100M. The extra money bought the company nothing; the only benefits were to Zuck and Sandberg personally, whi

Preferred stockholders (get paid first but can't vote) and common stock (can vote) are normal; the tech innovation is multiple classes of shares so that they get the benefits of an IPO without risking loss of control. Without that, Zuc

Your employer should provide an adequate chair. Even the US federal government is capable of meeting that bar, albeit with more delays and paperwork than a private-sector employer.

A diesel-electric could get a lot closer to a Chinese carrier. More importantly, the distance between Taiwan and China is well under 220 nm so open-ocean surveillance capability isn't particularly meaningful.

Basic users don't even have to pay, and if you're doing something that requires the paid version you can buy and will benefit from the $300 control surface that also includes a Studio license.

No, but the people operating in Russia like to travel elsewhere, and do. Also, the US and allies can enforce Russian AML laws as written on paper. If, say, the UK freezes all of Oleg Deripaska's assets there, Vova will absolutely get t

There are at least one million people in the US who have more than enough experience for an entry-level cybersecurity position; all they need is a few weeks of training (to start) and an employer that isn't demanding twenty years of ex
