Totally plausible. Actually even more plausible as a way to draw neutral countries into the war because in all-out exchange there would be no way to be 100% sure whose warhead landed on your head.

His greatest sin was getting too close to the Soviet Union. That's it. Comparing him to Pinochet is like saying that Roosevelt was just like Stalin because he was fine with putting the Japanese in the US in the internment camps during

The article claims that accepting 'invalid' UTF-8 can be a security risk. Can someone explain how?

Carefully checking every request costs money. Giving away data to unauthorized parties pretending to have such authorization costs nothing. Follow the incentives.

It's all fine as long as you don't touch the stapler.

Look at a map. Singapore is not on China-US maritime shipping lane so US-China trade is not relevant to Singapore at all.

You are mixing two things - everyday corruption experienced by an average citizen and the top of the government corruption which arguably is even worse in the US than in some African countries because it is made legal and happens in plain

You forgot about the oversight responsibilities, though. Just because you delegate work to an agent doesn't automatically mean that you are not responsible for the consequences of any action of the agent. If what you say was true not a

The problem is our current economic system will not survive shrinking population. We know already that ever growing population is not sustainable, either. But the stable population size is still workable within the current system.

The fertility only needs to be increased back to the level providing stable population size, it doesn't have to be ramped up to the level causing the population to grow again.

by pi-e-sigma 3y ago
Increasing the standard of living actually lowers the fertility. Everywhere! Not only in the capitalistic societies. Even in the Soviet Union the fertility started to drop as the standard of living increased.

The better solution would be to fix the problems causing low fertility.

You have a flaw in your reasoning. More solar and wind farms in Europe make it more independent from both Russia and the US.

I would disagree with your reasoning. The high turnover and a short tenure means people are not very attached to the job but more importantly it also means the drivers in any given trucking company don't know each other very well and i

AM is worse than FM in every imaginable way but one - in AM you can hear if two people transmit at the same time. In the FM the stronger signal completely suppresses the weak one which can be dangerous because a pilot or the ATC could miss

If you have 90% turnover it means that people indeed don't need this particular job .

Mean, median and mode are the three most commonly used averages. Mean itself can be of various types, such as arithmetic, geometric, harmonic and others. Median is a pretty good average because it excludes the extremes. Its 'superiorit

If you can be fired at any point then how exactly are you insulated from the business risk? You are only insulated from the upsides such as record profits etc. All the downsides are still there.

by pi-e-sigma 3y ago
The median itself is a type of an average, too, regardless of the distribution. We have many averages to choose from

Gasoline can freeze well above -75°C/-103°F, it all depends on the actual composition and various additives. And even if it's not frozen it can be so sticky (viscous) that you can't use it anyway

Using uncommon and complicated-sounding words actually works, but only on less educated people who don't know these words and don't know the context in which they are used.

If it's a rank and file employee then sure. This is about a university chancellor , though. I think it changes the optics significantly.

If it was such a no-brainer solution why nobody is doing it? Clearly there must be more to it.
