I'm sorry that the reality in a locker room of a Norwegian high school is not consistent with British statistics.

When five years ago thieves broke into my sons' class locker room, they stole all android phones and cash but didn't bother to take iphones. So yes it works or at least it did back then.

Tariffs are always paid by the businesses and consumers. That said, service hosting is a solved problem in 2025 and is mostly a matter of capital allocation. If it comes to a trade war, it's an easy way to eliminate overseas competitio

What proportion of it would be able to autonomously operate if North America disappears tomorrow? Zero. That means 100% of value comes from the USA.

If a steel company has a EU subsidiary it doesn't absolve it from import tariffs. Same with everything else. When AWS has its HQ and development in the EU it's another matter, but so far it's just a bunch of salespeople.

It's not like European pilots operated in even a mildly contested airspace since 2011.

The surviving Russian pilots are pretty competent at this point.

Line discipline rarely has sequences of bytes without any service information (parity, delimiters, preambles etc). So I don't see it as a practical issue.

> What does it mean to "address memory in powers of two" ? There are certainly machines with non-power-of-two memory quantities; 96 GiB is common for example. I challenge you to show me any SKU from any memory manufacturer that

It is exactly the opposite. Every computer architecture in production addresses memory in the powers of two. SI has no business in memory size nomenclature as it is not derived from fundamental physical units. The whole klownbyte change was

Call me a unit fundamentalist but calling 512Gb "over half a terabyte memory" irks me to no end.

Wood lathes, and generally woodworking tools like saws and routers are substantially more dangerous. Especially at the scale of machinery you have in vocational classes.

Very little of the stuff physicists came up with in the 19th century was obvious or low hanging at the time. And no your undergrads would likely have never came up with Maxwell's equations on their own.

It was not conventionally armed. It had dummy training warheads, conventional payloads for it are not even being developed. There are hardly any targets for which lobbing high explosive with an ICBM is cost effective.

This is because there are increasingly fewer big discoveries to be made. No, an astronaut with a shovel won't excavate a lost Martian city, it'll be more of ISS science but in gravity and with sanitizer smelling dust.

In reality the first man on Mars will likely discover far more in a week than we have in more than 50 years of probes We can't be so sure. The probes have discovered that Mars has no channels and vegetation. That water is uncommon (t

An R&D cycle itself can be 5 years, a 1-2 year patent approval time is typical. Industrializing research for production is at least a year, not to mention finding a market fit. And you are supposed to recoup all that in 3-5 years? Just

You just don't get it. When it's announced by the EU, it's red tape PDF crunching soulless bureaucracy wasting our time. When it's said by a glorified CPA of an American unicorn startup it's the vision, innovation a

I don't think a stressed rando inside the plane is in position to evaluate how soon it will combust. Not even the firemen on the outside often have a clue.
