How exactly would one go about doing that? Their major exports are fossil fuels, and chemicals derived from fossil fuels such as fertilizers. Few of those exports go to the USA.

Doubt it. The sea states tend to be higher around Taiwan.

Which specific drone models are likely to be effective in a major air and naval conflict in and around the Taiwan Strait?

Ukraine already executed a successful strike on Russian nuclear capabilities. In 2025 Operation “Spider’s Web” completely destroyed several irreplaceable nuclear-capable strategic bombers. https://www.csis.org/analysis/

The Constellation class frigates had no mission. Just like the failed LCS classes before them, they aren't survivable in a modern high-threat missile environment: weak radars, small magazines. And if they can't survive themselves

Half? There were approximately 133 developing countries (depending on how you count) during the George W. Bush presidency so please to give us a list of 66 that he "denounced" for sponsoring terrorism. Of course the reality is tha

Russia has been attacking Ukrainian cities with missiles and drones since the beginning of the conflict. But Russia simply lacks the capacity to fire-bomb cities on a large scale. They only have a handful of operational heavy bombers left a

The Chinese Yaogan-41 satellite is in geostationary orbit and might have a mirror in the 4m range. https://www.csis.org/analysis/no-place-hide-look-chinas-geos...

Strike the stuff that can't move: government offices, factories, bridges, dams, power plants, ports, logistics hubs. The heavy B-2 bombers are themselves quite survivable, and were in fact used in the initial strikes.

A carrier can likely get far enough to generate a miss. Missiles and drones have very limited sensors so in order to hit anything another platform has to cue them with a fairly precise target location. In other words, an adversary like Chin

And that's fine if you're just writing a toy program for personal use. But it's deeply problematic if you have to rely on that library for anything important. This type of lazy approach to the software bill-of-materials has g

Some people believe they know things in many areas. This is typically the Dunning-Kruger effect in action.

The threat that President Bush issued in 2002 was due to Iran being a state sponsor of terrorist groups, which was true then and is still true today. Historians can argue over whether that threat was a good idea at the time but it's to

Even in a hypothetical situation where the USA had no aircraft carriers our military probably would have conducted some raids to delay Iran building nuclear weapons. The initial strikes against nuclear facilities were done with B-2 bombers

This is just a regular pump-and-dump scam using the stock market listing of a defunct company. The Wall Street Millennial channel put out a good video if you want details. https://youtu.be/GXce34Va_Xs

A light treadmill session won't do much to improve your cardiovascular system health either. I mean it's better than nothing but don't expect too much.

You should start your own VC firm, solicit cash from LPs, and invest in companies like Helios. Go ahead, no one will stop you.

We're all morons outside of some very narrow areas of expertise. By most criteria James Mattis would be considered a smart guy: he earned a Master's degree, commanded troops effectively in combat, and served as Secretary of Defens

So what? Even if investor cash runs out the price of compute capacity always declines over the long term.

Another way of looking at that is that if writing is dying then doing it well will become a key competitive advantage. Organizations with culture, processes, and hiring standards focused on effective written communication will be faster and

No, you're missing the point. A lot of casual restaurants aren't even really cooking any more. They just heat up prepared food purchased from Sysco. https://www.thenation.com/article/society/restaurant-co

That's easy for you to say. Most of my photography is underwater where we are inherently very limited on time. On deeper tech dives we might only get 20 minutes of bottom time, and I can only be shooting for part of that.

OK I'll bite. What's the difference between a method call and a property access? And why would that matter for pedagogical purposes?

I don't necessarily disagree, but it seems like there are plenty of customers willing to pay ridiculous prices for delivering mediocre food.

In most large tech companies the senior leaders want to run some vanity projects so having a research arm makes that possible. They can screw around without impacting product teams.

Most restaurant food is all the same though because they buy everything from Sysco.

Helium isn't a good example. Prices were artificially low for a long time due to the US federal government gradually selling off their strategic reserve. As a scuba diver it was great but we knew it couldn't last.
