I wonder if you mean UK or Germany (Reform or AfD, both are sponsored by extremely suspicious actors ... and Russia). But in either case you funded an adversary that wanted to attack you with oil money, Russia, to the tune of 20 billion eur

Yeah I'm hoping AI can bring us back to software engineering of 20 years ago. Where studying the solution to a problem, finding clever solutions, getting everything to work without getting buried in little concerns is really important

I meant Iran that taking over the aggression starts at the stalemate. Yes Iraq attacked first, but Iran was the aggressor for 8 to 9 out of 10 years of the war. Iraq even gave as a reason that they were sure Iran was going to attack soon an

Just so it's clear that you're trying to cause confusion: these are light water reactors that cannot in any way shape or form be used to make bombs. Slightly harder to design and build. Much cheaper to run. Excellent for power. Ba

The issue is many kinds of solutions exist, but aren't common in different fields. On a guitar string, waves are 1d waves in a 1d world. In water everyone knows only standard waves. Which are 1d solitons in a 2d "world". In t

Well, this is a negative result. Yep, Maths explains turbulence (when things go turbulent, stuff heats up instead of cooperating). If the result went the other way, it would have had much bigger implications, at the very least we would have
