Chiming in to add - also very common in urban Southern California.

Luckily, this wasn't an issue - the owner sold the car to collectors for something like 100 times its pre-impact value, and the stone itself for twice that. I trust she got a nicer car with the money.

That the article poses the philosophical works as being part of the definition of the word. From the opening: "Kairos (Ancient Greek: καιρός) is an Ancient Greek word meaning the right, critical, or opportune moment.[1] The ancient Gre

And it was personal for the KMT! These were people who had been middle-aged, established bureaucrats and generals in China in 1949.

The KMT absolutely did not want to give up its title of "Republic of China". It had been only 30 years since the civil war. KMT leadership was still people who had personally fled the mainland in middle age. The president at the

This seems like one of those posts where an exoticizing foreigner picks up a perfectly normal word and says it "means" a whole lot of extra things, just because it was used in philosophical texts writing about those things. From o

I wouldn't place too much weight on C. Even under the new Bennett-Lapid government, the country has been willing to go all out on booster shots. There's just a lot of willingness to go for "good enough" solutions in emer

Yeah, not slow in placing orders; the problem was that they didn't prioritize guaranteed delivery dates in contracts like the EU and US and Israel

by azernik 5y ago
Israel is a "free trade country". If you were a rich nation, it was eminently possibly to get early delivery dates written into your contracts. Canada decided not to for some reason (cost?) and in actual fact deeply regretted it.

This also removes domestic (Chinese) private capital from the possible investors/owners.

That only works if they have the same insensitivities across time and platforms. In this case, they still need to preserve the original information, because they're case sensitive on that first transformation for non-mobile devices.

You said these things "have never been protected", and that "there have always been limits". Those are descriptive (and incorrect) statements about the actual law. If you think the law is bad and should be different, say

Yeah, the 400sqft thing is his on-worksite cabin, not his home.

"Fire in a crowded theater" is an assertion that there are limits to protected speech. It says nothing about what those limits are. Harmful misinformation is well inside those limits. (And in any case it's from a decision t

Almost every single thing you proposed is radioactively unconstitutional in the United States.

I mean. When it's stuff people have to do for work and they're not doing it, and that happens on a systemic level? Usually it's not "laziness", it's just that there's always lots of work and there's n

Modern IPAMs do work with IPv6 - routers know what hosts have performed SLAAC and can report that (see e.g. https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/ipam/... ) If addresses are in a database and

The boom isn't from crossing the barrier; it's from being at that high speed. A plane traveling at Mach 1.5 cross-country will leave a boom at every point along its travel

It's not about "lower". We can, and do, make massive , non-backwards-compatible changes in layers 1 and 2 every few years and no one is the wiser. Layer 3 is special. It makes that flexibility in all the other layers possib

The big one is the address space expansion, which in addition to solving "can't get addresses" also makes routing cheaper and faster (can allocate addresses based on network topology, rather than on what's available). Wh

IT and network admin people gripe about the long addresses, but when push comes to shove they don't actually make decisions based on that.

Having done some work on implementation/migration: EVERYTHING needs to work. There's a hell of a lot of software (and, even worse, hardware) that encodes assumptions about IPv4. Everything from userspace asking specifically parsin

Corium is "everything in the reactor melted together". It doesn't have to include the containment vessel. For example, in Chernobyl, the corium didn't include any of the containment vessel, because RBMKs funny have conta

No, it isn't. Equipment that the US military was managing was evacuated securely and on schedule. Equipment that it had handed off to other parties (mostly the ANA) was not. Nuclear reactors are not likely to fall into the second categ

Which was all Afghan National Army gear. I would damned well hope that the US would not give portable nuclear reactors to a shaky ally.

The American evacuation was going on for weeks or months; e.g. by the time of the Afghan government's collapse, Bagram (giant Air Force base) had been quite cleanly evacuated. The logistical problem of exit is something the US has alwa
