You appear to be confused about maritime law. Iran hasn't ratified the UNCLOS or agreed to follow its terms so their territorial waters extend only 3 NM from their shores. Iran has been attacking neutral vessels well outside that limit

The basic information about surface warship specifications isn't classified. We know how many interceptor missiles they can carry. Standard doctrine is to fire at least two interceptors at each incoming threat in order to increase the

Wrong on all points. Iran has already used anti-ship ballistic missiles. They might not be as advanced as China's but they appear to work, and in confined areas the targeting can be done using mobile shore-based radars. https:/&#

That's a non sequitur . What's your point?

All of the major maritime insurers will issue war risk policies at a small premium over the usual rates. This isn't anything new. Back during the Iran-Iraq war both sides were hitting tankers occasionally but insurers wrote policies an

Abandoned crew members often remain on the ship in the hope of eventually getting paid their overdue wages after the legal issues are sorted out. If they leave the vessel then that weakens their negotiating position.

Iran never had the right to close the strait or attack neutral merchant ships exercising their right of innocent passage in the first place, regardless of anything that Israel or Lebanon does. The MOU doesn't change that.

Cancelling the LCS construction program was the right move. There are still a number of hulls in commission and they have some utility as minesweepers, but can really only operate when the air threat has been neutralized. They have only lim

It's interesting to contrast this with the attitude taken by the FFmpeg open source developers. They still hand write assembly code because performance and power efficiency is so critical that every clock cycle counts. https:/&#x

IBM Z series mainframe Telum CPUs are designed by IBM but manufactured by Samsung. IBM no longer owns any fabs. I assume they have some kind of technology licensing deal. https://www.ibm.com/products/z/telum

The point isn't necessarily to get buyers to pay more than fair market value. Most VC firms run a series of separate funds, each with a target date to return cash to limited partners. So at some point the VCs need liquidity even if the

Even if a company is profitable, depending on voting interest and board control the investors may be able to force a sale.

It's so horrible that in 2026 people are still publishing important data and specifications in a format like PDF that's difficult for LLMs to consume. We need to drag them kicking and screaming to HTML or Markdown. Heck, even Micr

You're welcome to ask them for whatever evidence you like before agreeing to do business.

Most HDL code is locked up behind corporate firewalls and not available as training data. While LLMs can handle it to an extent there's a lot of room for improvement. I'll bet that OpenAI and their competitors are racing to licens

The majority of food banks get discounted supplies. They seldom pay full retail price. In some cases I know about, distributors and retailers will sell older perishable stock to food banks when they don't think they can move it quickly

You're missing the point. Strong or weak has nothing to do with it. If you want to be protected then don't do business with undercapitalized counterparties. Everyone can make their own decision on acceptable level of financial ris

by nradov 4mo ago
You're missing the point. There shouldn't be any capital requirement just to get liability protections. No one is forcing counterparties to accept liabilities.

Nah. Lenders are free to do whatever credit checks they like. Government doesn't need to get involved.

Those vendors can always require payment in advance, or a guarantor.

Why do Europeans put up with that notary nonsense? Ideally almost all notary jobs should be destroyed.

If a company collapses while having more liabilities than assets then that's fine. No one is being forced to extend any credit to them.

There is no need for a company to be able to cover liabilities. It's a stupid rule.

Determinations of worth are irrelevant. If the government says you have to pay $1000 in taxes then you have to come up with $1000, regardless of any stories or beliefs.

Is that a joke? A Tahoe isn't hard to drive. Every regular auto insurer will write policies for them.
