Nobody forced Iran to bomb gas and oil fields that aren't even of their enemies, and to start doing it before Pars was bombed (e.g. Shah gas field was targeted 2 days ago). Place the blame on Iran who is actually 'wrecking Asia&#x

>continuous compression 'Solid compression' (as WinRAR calls it) is still optional with RAR. I recall the default is 'off'. At the time, that mode was still pretty good compared to bzip2.

Even then, there were better options in the Windows world (RAR/ACE/etc.). Also, bzip2 was considered slow even when it was new.

Except here the entire Iranian strategy (what's left of it) _relies_ on targeting civilian 3rd parties. Without threatening Gulf oil, they've got nothing.

First, JCPOA restrictions would have started to end this year, the 2031 situation was just extra bad. Second, had NPT been enough, why was JCPOA necessary? Because NPT was not near enough to stop a determined state. NPT 'limits' d

The 'solution' explicitly allowed (by 2031) unlimited enrichment, burying centrifuges, and purchasing unlimited amounts of AD. Then no US admin could have possibly prevented an Iranian nuke. Once the faction who tried to make an a

Being attacked should rule out 'war of aggression', but I guess the phrase seems to have lost any meaning in modern discourse. Apparently you can spend all the time calling 'death to X' and then get shocked when others t

Nah, Trump is responsible for his own actions. But there's no way to justify Libya and not this, save for partisanship.

Greg Egan is famous for examining various other variations of this physics. e.g. Dichronauts examines the 2+2D case which turns out to be very different from 4D or 3+1D. https://www.gregegan.net/DICHRONAUTS/00/DPDM

The issue isn't string theory yes or no (there are reasons physicists went this way and other alternatives aren't so much better), but the difficulty in getting data and testable predictions. It's very likely the most effecti

Obvious problem is anticircumvention laws are just as much an interest of the EU and others. These laws pass power from the individual, and the EU (its corps and govs) are just as interested in exercising power over the individual.

That will never ever happen. Making 240/4 public will break Amazon (and many others) which do use it privately. The software updates to route it across the net would have been taxing. When making it public was suggested years ago, IETF

It's not Second System Syndrome. Nearly every complaint against IPv6 is downstream of the decision to enforce a global centralized namespace for an end-to-end principle many don't care for. e.g. Getting a unique address would be w
