UK has all means to successfully use force, and secure its gains - that's the military reality on the ground. It has an amphibious force to land a division, more with requisitioned civilian vessels, and it has thermonuclear weapons to

If any of them really wanted so, they would've build a small clandestine reactor somewhere long time ago. Nuclear bombs are forties technology. Industrial output of forties USA is met by dozens of countries today. People continuing to

"Developing countries" with an axe to grind on USA already have dozens of research, or power reactors. This is my point. If somebody will bomb your cities with nukes, killing millions in the process, you will not need Mariano Gros

I would say proliferation resistance is nearly completely irrelevant. There are hundred of weaponizable reactors in not really good places of the world. In case of the next big war, nobody will ask IAEA for permission to build the nuke. As

There is no "ultimate solution" The biggest point which stood the test of time, and is the easiest to validate is that if you build a TOKAMAK big enough, it will work. Plasma instability decreases with the device size, and efficie

Are people still buying in these smart speakers? Everybody I knew turned them into paperweights, or send them to the drawer after a few months after the novelty wore off.

Metrics driven software development gets more meaningless, the bigger is the customer base, and frequent are releases. A good way to make a big organisation chase meaningless things without your bosses realising, and even get a promotion fo

JCPCB is not a PCB shop. They get the order, and then run to an actual PCB shop of their choosing.

I don't know where did you get all this. There is not much "strategy" you imagined. A censor find something matching a keyword, and he gets CNY 0.5. That's the whole story to it.
