SA has highly developed industrial infrastructure, particularly around natural resource extraction. I don't think it's what Belt and Road is about.

I had fun with this. If I may offer a critique: the 'Visit Site' button just hijacks mouseclick instead of actually being a link, meaning I couldn't see where it was taking me by hovering. And when I actually clicked it, it b

I'm not going to make an account to watch this video, but YouTube comments have been broadly broken for at least a year now and I highly doubt this is a wordfilter thing. It often takes weeks for comments to display on new low-traffic

Where on earth do you live? Looking at some stats, that number was the average for the UAE in 2016. At this time it was illegal to drink without a license, and Muslims could not obtain these at all.

JWST was never designed to be serviceable, because it's so far away[0]. It would probably be possibe to get a crew to L2 with our new SLS/Orion capability (with costly modifications)[1], but I don't think this was really anti

It seems like it could be made very streamlined. Sit down at a table and press a button on it, then just tap your card when you leave. Of course in real life you'd have to install an app, make an account, and get spammed with requests

I did expect this to be about them reacting to climate change and other human factors, as there's been many stories like this recently. But I suppose a couple million years is a blink of the eye for a family this ancient.

That sort of aquatic ambush predator niche has always been very successful, so I think we'd end up with a similar animal with a similar body plan that would fill the niche; it's evolved many times before. https://bmceco

I'm struggling to find any of them now, bit I think there's many sites that provide a toy and interface similar to what you describe. One in particular, I recall, provided a grid of colourable dots and a minimal language to progra

How's this for an experimental setup: get a cohort of people going in for surgery under general anaesthesia, and randomly place them in a north or south facing windowless room afterwards :) no added risk, and pretty minor cost

If the reasons they give for this were honest, you'd think their time would be better spent building the kind of extremely basic integration tests that would detect if, say, their world generation broke making the game unwinnable. htt

I find it so interesting how their self titled album has just been zapped from everyone's minds. The other day somebody said to me that every single album they've made has been fantastic, so I brought up the self titled and they&#

To explain in a few more words: 1. 1984 is not a religious prophecy. That something has happened which bears some aesthetic similarity to a part of the book is not significant or interesting by itself. If you wish to assert that Google has

Pinta is basically unusable. It's a port of the last open paint.net source from over 10 years ago. Paint.net went closed source at this time due to plagiarism issues. Hopefully .net 5 moves us closer to having a Linux version!

Individual statements here may be true on some level (e.g. 'large mammals maintain grassland', 'steppe climates sequester carbon'), but that doesn't make the broad conclusions true. We can't just rewild the Gre
