Japan just quickly reached a "good enough" state and decided to stay there. Like banks with their COBOL codebase but everywhere.

Maybe there's innovation somewhere, but putting third world migrants behind the wheel of rental cars isn't it. In any case, there are EU companies to pick up the slack (i.e. Bolt).

Saudi attack on Houthis is not a threat to the Western world. If anything, Houthis are even more backwards than Saudis.

Last I checked Saudi Arabia minded their own business and didn't issue ultimatums to NATO to expel members or else.

This is an idiotic take. By choosing better economy over freedom they'd lose both economy and freedom.

If Chernobyl didn't blow up due to stupidity the KGB would have to sabotage it.

That's semantics. Unmitigated ADHD severely limits one's ability to do things. Wanna call it "not bad", fine. Next up: thinking cancer is bad is bad. There's no sugarcoating that diseases are, well, negative.

Any mental disorder will still be seen as bad (duh), bombs or not, euphemized or not. It's an exercise in futility.

Shaheds can fly at 4000m, good luck with your Maxim. They also try to catch them far from target areas by spreading roving AA squads all over the border, somewhat impossible at sea. Something similar could also dive from 4000m gaining quite

Is there any reason not to use much cheaper piston engines? If you're going for saturation of and defenses you don't need speed that much, you only need the ability to hit the target if not shot down.

The fact that control settings were not synchronized between stations and cleared when turning over control is sure a blunder. The checkbox is not to be blamed however, it's a sane design choice. Fun fact: on some airplanes if you pull

Sounds like if it were two throttle handles with a "lock" lever below them they could fail exactly the same. It's a training/attention/fatigue issue, not a UI one.

Ground-based launch sites can supply both position and orientation very accurately (few seconds of angle), more accurately than stellar correction can, and their gyro platform can keep it within a few seconds of angle as well. Submarines ca

Structural damage aside, modern planes have ridiculous safety margins on center of mass, drag and lift. A cleanly separating engine wouldn't be that much of a problem, mostly sorted by pumping fuel and rudder trim.

Soviet 70's machines were hand-woven ferrite plate, stacked PCB sandwiches. Not pretty at all.

It's far from the top of their trajectory (by then the warheads are long separated), and only submarine-launched missiles need it.

So, Zolgensma is cheap? Their argument is just that: 'The reason Zolgensma is so expensive is because that is the price Novartis has decided it is worth because it “dramatically transforms the lives of families affected by this devasta

A cured customer is a lost customer. Indefinite remission while taking a daily dose is plausible, or maybe $2.5M per head as Zolgensma.

Some chromebooks are decent machines. Unfortunately some strange decisions like the circumcised keyboard layout makes it a no-go.

I've worked in quite a few companies which had tangible purpose, yet a lot of my code ended up in the bin and even more of my time spend at work was wasted on bullshit.

Someone measured tree branch tip to root resistance and while I don't quite understand the poor quality chart it's in kiloohms. The tree would need to radically change some of its biology. Like no capillaries from roots to branche

There often are limits to how much your can disclaim in your T&C. If under the same terms you cause damages deliberately you'll be held liable, and obvious gross negligence can be a factor as well. There are often 3 opinions betwee
