It could happen this year; legislatures just need to pass laws. The hardest part is people posting comments like yours as a diversion from doing real work (though there are other hard parts too).

Very interesting. Of course, that puts them more under China's influence.

I think I misread the GGP comment. Why not use the Chinese yuan? It's not as liquid or as stable as the US dollar. If you sell something for $10 billion US dollars then you can use that money to buy almost anything in the world. If you

The US dollar is the standard currency for international trade, but the US government of course has great influence over its use. For example, they sanction anyone who does business with Iran. This tactic, used against Russia, Iran, and oth

This perspective, not unique to the parent, assumes you have to play defense indefinitely, but (as with many beliefs) the assumption is the problem: Stop playing defense and go on offense. Pass laws that actively enhance privacy, that make

Has Khelif published it? Otherwise, I don't think anyone's very personal information about their body should be on HN (or anywhere). If it doesn't violate a guideline, it should.

What you say is essentially accurate and we're debating semantics, but about those semantics: Wars end with political solutions (otherwise, people keep fighting), and the US didn't achieve a political solution the first month, and

The US isn't a nearby nation and doesn't want to expand by seizing countries anywhere, especially in the Mideast. None of Iran's neighbors - e.g., Iraq and Afghanistan - want to or have any capacity to invade Iran. A destabil

I can't think of any examples of that and don't see that in the wars listed above. Destabilized countries are bad news for entire regions and can become havens and recruiting grounds for terrorists, criminals, etc. And those thing

I get it now. That's of interest, definitely, but I wouldn't conclude it was universally true - that the one controller did both for everyone.

> That one controller was handling both ground and air ... Why do you (or why does anyone) think that? My point in the GP was, I have yet to see evidence that there was only one controller, and I have seen evidence that there were two.

by mmooss 7mo ago
Does someone say there is only one controller working? Just because that particular recording has only one controller doesn't mean nobody else is working.

It does not at all mean that this controller was overworked when this crash happened; that would be failed reasoning and misuse of evidence. It just raises the question, which should be looked at. It's scary that so many don't se
