Edward Teller wasn't 'rationally mad', it was von Neumann who was very eager to drop atomic bombs on the Soviet Union. Besides picturing Edward Teller who actually came from a Jewish family and fled Germany when the Nazis cam

It's not exactly true. A company is a separate legal entity and its owner can't do as he pleases with the company's assets.

Edward Teller wasn't even a German and he never worked for the Nazis. Unlike Werner von Braun.

It's a bit more complicated than that, though. Because the alternative was to let the Soviets take over the whole continent. And in that 'framework' the UK aligning with the Nazis was actually more natural choice.

On the other hand just because something is written down somewhere is not at all equal to 'having access to it'. Once you forget it it might as well not exist at all. The information needs to be internalized to be any useful, and

Turbine in a car is completely impractical. Some tanks, like M1 Abrams use a turbine and they are painfully loud and the exhaust is so hot it can literally set on fire anything too close to it. Imagine sitting in a traffic jam and lighting

Paradoxically, I think it would be very safe because how many remote exploits for Windows 3.11 are out there in the wild?

Internet made us dumber but also made a lot of things easier. Just like industrial machines made us weaker (or rather, not as rugged as we used to be) but also allowed us to get much more work done.

In a sense Socrates was right. It's always better to be able to recall something from your memory rather than having to look it up in a book. The classic example is the multiplication table. The problem is that humans have rather limit

I think it's just typical psychology bollocks. Cursive is faster to write, but much more difficult to read, especially if written by someone's else. So with cursive you can write down more and if you just assume that the more you

Squatting is like playing piano. If you don't start at the age of 5 then you will never be good at it.

Wikipedia says Phosh is based on the GTK toolkit and is in fact a fork of GNOME shell. Even their own webpage says so at https://phosh.mobi/about/

The whole point of having subs is that they are meant to be stealthy and survive the initial strike. If you took them out it's game over and the dead hand system is useless.

Transferring eSIMs between the carriers requires their cooperation. They have to 'approve' the transfer and can drag their feet, create artificial obstacles along the way or simply refuse the transfer. Meanwhile moving traditional

I wonder what happens if you travel from the US to EU and then back. Will you be able to install alterative browser while in EU and then it gets blocked?

You are wrong. In most jurisdictions theft is defined as taking something away from the legal owner . If what you said was true then taking away your own property from the thief who stole it would also be a theft.

What you say is not true in the slightest. In a lot of the US jurisdictions you can keep what you found provided you report it to the authorities and nobody claims it in some time frame. In other cases you can take what you found if you fou

> A 2x speed improvement is very significant if it happens to be in the critical loop of your code. You want a 5000% difference? Just find 6 tweaks like these and you might just get there. Optimizations don't compound like this.

That's the problem with the reputation and the perception of safety. If you lose it then even if you finally fix the underlying issues people will still have a hard time believing you.

If you apply this reasoning to the MAX statistics, then you have to apply it to the statistics of all the other planes, too, which also received various changes and updates during their service lives improving their safety and you are back

All medical-grade blood oxygen sensors that I have seen in hospitals are put on the tip of the finger. This arrangement allows them to beam light through the human flesh and measure how much of it is absorbed - the light source is on one si

There exist at least one declassified plan of the Warsaw Pact showing all the targets the Soviets would strike with nuclear weapons but also showing expected nuclear strikes by NATO forces. It also shows extensive use of chemical weapons h
