And Russia has lost 20+ 152mm tactical nuclear weapons over years. Then one day, suddenly all of them were declared "found" somewhere around 1998-1999. My bet USA just annoyed Yeltsin enough to put up a pretence solution.

I would object, The Indian technocrat cohort is giant, and makes most of high grade ICS officials. Tons of engineers there, an irrefutable fact. On other hand, I would say civil service in India is horrifically elitist, and values degrees,

Americans are prone to "projection," not learning, but using their closest experiences to explain new things, even when most obvious rational explanation stands against it. "Everything must be like in America." I have to

Bluetooth is governed way better than any other comm standard. For example, WiFi implementation incompatibilities are legendary, and solving them is left to device makers instead of a specialist body. Certification is also non-existant. For

Impressive it is for an "OS brand, yet it's just another relabelled Tongfang laptop, so people really need to blame not OEM, but people who keep buying from them instead of designing own hardware. Designing a laptop from scratch m

Look at Ukraine, and how Russia flooded it with possibly 10,000+ of its spies. You read stories of ones who were caught, and you cannot make it it up. Their main recruitment target are idiots in places of high power. KGB recruited more agen

I am sceptical about microrings. The big point of putting optics on chip, or at least close to the chip is to reduce power consumption. Huge terabit class router chips spend 1/3 of TDP to drive PHYs. If you just replace a power hungry

Yes, otherwise they wouldn't have gone into own chips with such low volumes. Even now their volumes probably don't afford for them making much money on such big chips if we compare them to top tier competitor SoCs.

Indeed, they are the most toxic, and abrasive OSS community so far. GNOME ecosystem went from 3000+ developers to low hundreds, and around ~30 active core maintainers. The most spectacular OSS failure story.
