The consumer doesn't care though how the computers operate internally, so using the normal SI definitions is the expectation, instead of redefining it just so you get some nice round numbers.

Not really the case with air defense, where Germany was first in sending modern anti-air facilities (Iris-T SLM directly from the manufacturer.. not even Germany themselves were using it yet). Dont forget about the Gepard flak tanks either.

Not sure if it qualifies as "high profile", but the Emscher renaturization project (5 billion euro budget from 1992 to now), which included digging a 51 km underground canal was on-time and on-budget as far as I can tell.

Mobile providers are among the largest users of IPv6 for exactly that reason. You might even already use IPv6 on mobile without realizing it..

On the other hand a certain bias is at play here, since you won't see the people that just deleted their accounts (or announced that they would and then executed on it).

I don't think that was true. Gigaphoton achieved similar numbers to Cymer roughly a year later with a very similar design idea (so unclear why they would have had no path forward? they are still on-par today with Cymer as far as I can

Only one that worked is patently incorrect, since early ASML R&D units shipped with non-cymer EUV light sources (some Philips collaboration iirc). Best performance at the time maybe (be it reliability/output power/size/..

Is it though? The laser needed for the laser-induced plasma EUV source are nothing you can buy of-the-shelve and is nothing trivial to design and Trumpf has lots of expertise in this area (since they are not just a supplier for lasers, but

One can always play that game and find that actually almost any country is the only source of innovation by choosing the abort condition carefully (just as an example: the most important component of the light source is the high-power pulse

Are there any cases of the US nationalizing/seizing companies outside of sanction/war-related acts? Which would probably the only consequence the government can directly levy against the European company (the indirect ones they ca

Why would it matter at all if it's a minority or majority stake in the ownership of the US subsidiary? As far as I understood it the combination of GDPR and CLOUD act only disallows the combination of US mother-company with EU subsidia

You could also put something like searx [1] in front to search all at once (or at least provide unified interface for all). [1] https://searx.github.io/searx/

Ignoring that we have no idea where the data ultimately comes from (or are private contributions public in the US?) it is highly misleading by omission. If we look at the linked page [1] we see that 2014 and 2016 much higher fractions went

Quite a large difference in excess deaths compared to the other study with New Zealand being especially striking (+6588 from the OECD study vs -440 in the economist one). The analysis code and description for the study I linked to can be fo

Do you have a source for the claim of lowest cumulative excess deaths percentage of all of the OECD? Because as far as I can tell [1] there are a couple countries, such as Japan or New Zealand that have done quite a bit better. [1] https:&

You misspoke multiple times. Restarting the NS2 certification process was nowhere to be seen on the horizon, so there is no real point to blow it up from the standpoint of the US (nevermind that actually blowing it up would be insane for th

Got any evidence for the first statement? Germany stopped the certification process of NS2 the second Russia invaded Ukraine in February of this year. The rest is also complete nonsense - NS1 doesn't go anywhere near Ukraine. It's

by welterde 4y ago
No. Both NS1 and NS2 have nominally the same capacity. And both consist of two pipes each. Both pipes of NS1 were destroyed, but only one of the NS2 pipes was.

A new Norway-Poland pipeline was opened one day before the NS attacks. And the attack occurred not far from it. Showing that just switching away from Russia as a supplier is not enough to be safe, since they could just hit that one just as

by welterde 4y ago
It was never gonna get certified after the invasion, which is what I meant with dead in the water. And Germany and Russia negotiating over opening NS2? That makes no sense whatsoever. If Russia wanted to deliver gas it could have just conti

by welterde 4y ago
You are thinking of the Soyuz or Brotherhood pipelines, which go via Ukraine (and there is a third option: the yamal pipeline that goes via Poland). NS1 and NS2 go directly from Russia to Germany via the baltic sea, which Ukraine has no dir

by welterde 4y ago
Then explain to me why the US would not blow up both pipes of NS2? And instead blew up NS1 completely? That makes no sense for anyone but Russia (leave the option slightly ajar for selling gas later on). And the contracts would not quite be

by welterde 4y ago
The configuration of blowing up NS1 fully and NS2 half-way has quite a few upsides for Russia: getting out of contracts without voiding them, improving the internal political situation (in case anyone wants to create a coup and then start s

by welterde 4y ago
NS2 was already dead in the water at that point and Russia had already turned off the tap on NS1. Also only one of the two NS2 pipes were destroyed, while both NS1 pipes were destroyed. I think that pretty much rules out the US as a culprit

Except most organizations can barely afford their ground-based observatories as it is, so to think you can chuck enough capacity into orbit to compensate even a fraction of it for anywhere close in budget is wishful thinking. It will be a n

Not quite. HST was initially supposed to be a 3m telescope, but they had to go down a bit in size for budget reasons. And the reason for going for exactly 2.4m (instead of 2.5m or 2.2m) was that they could save even more money, because the

Absolute nonsense. You continue to ignore the simple facts that they still have a spare turbine(s) just sitting in storage on site as well as the one in Germany that could be delivered any time that Gazprom wants. Siemens Energy also stated

IMAP IDLE exists since 1997 (RFC2177) and works decent enough for single mailboxes. It is limited to only a single mailbox however, which is not quite ideal if one does server-side filtering (as one then needs N connections for N folders).
