I'd rather pay the taxes directly than trust someone else to do it, especially when that someone is making it as difficult to get the money from your investment. Those RSU's were earned, and the whole point is you get to share in

I think the main drive for the modern version SSR was SEO. The workload part? the whole point of SPAs was to move compute - especially fancy UI compute down to the client so the server only had to move data... so we're just completing

Forcing the user to watch video ads is a blight. Half of the time, the video ad is just being dumped onto game players because there's no relevant audience for it. Applause to Steam for stopping this.

Forcing people to pay for something they are not using is a time bomb. This is a good thing and we should all be looking at how to do this.

Failure to disrupt US shipping lanes to the Allies resulted in Germany having to fight much better-equipped Allied forces. A tank, a howitzer, or a truck on the bottom of the ocean is not a threat. The amount of equipment shipped to the USS

It depends on what kind of drones you are operating doesn't it? Range, speed and payload seems to be the drivers for gigantism in military vehicles. So if you look at shorter range, or more accurate, smaller explosive delivery, you don

Arial drones are a subset of aircraft.

I'm not sure how much longer submarines will be militarily relevant. Longer for sure than large surface combatants, but we're relying largely on hiding for defense... and there's no guarantee that hiding will work forever.

I don't share the confidence in large ships being the future of naval anything. Even in the 90s, surface ships were easy pickings for submarines and antiship missiles. Smaller ships acting as drone carriers combined with arsenal ships

So... Electric toasters came to market in the 1920s, priced from $15, eventually getting as low as $5. Adjusting for inflation, that $15 toaster cost $236.70 in 2025 USD. Today's $15 toaster would be about 90¢ in 1920s dollars... so it
