When it comes to metadata, an implementation not being widely implemented (yet) is not that big a problem. Select tools will do for meta, so this is an advancement for PNG.

There's no evidence the fatwa even exists (aside from statements by self-interested parties), much less any details of its contents and any exception it may have. At any point they could point to an exception in subsection 4) c) and do

HEU is not directly used in radiopharmacology for obvious reasons, the energy.gov posting is about a non-fissile isotope of Uranium and not HEU. It's much cheaper to use a cyclotron than get massively sanctioned - unless you what you r

Iran imports radiopharmaceuticals from Canada and that import was never restricted. Besides, radiopharmaceuticals are done with cyclotrons and do not require 60% HEU.

Iran did not have the tech to get beyond 20% at the time. The deal gave them time and funds for that, which is hardly nonproliferation work. >Clearly that was all for nothing, so no country will ever agree to a similar deal ever again. W

For now, nothing (everyone is kinda busy). The first infliction point would be to see whether the regime intends to strike at US forces or do they intend to climb down. IMHO, that would be suicidal, but it doesn't mean they won't

The deal was on only for about 3 years. Iran has been enriching to some extent since 2009. I'd would think there was a lot more in setting it back than a failed deal.

by yyyk 1y ago
Iran did not expect to be bombed back at all, which is why their defenses were so shoddy around nearly everything. The _only_ thing having this level of protection is the enrichment facility.

Just about every intelligence agency and expert agrees on nearly all the data. The debate and the 'conflicting' reports are mainly a matter of definitions. The data is that Iran has some weapons research, and have/had about 4

The limits were to sunset starting from 2026 and end by 2031. The deal was to end with Iran being allowed to enrich as much as they wanted to, just a step away from a bomb.

Being an Open-Source, free OS was the Linux selling point, over commercial Unixes and Windows. That was the open lane with relatively little competition. Now that Linux and BSDs are there, it's no longer an empty lane but a tough one t

It's always impressive when someone builds an OS. To be noticed by a large community though, a new OS needs to be different from yet another C-based POSIX-style system. We already have a lot of those which are fine enough. It would be

Welcome to the future. Increasing technical progress makes the common person much less relevant, and political power will flow to elites as a result.

Isn't friction a function of surface area? You can increase surface area that way, and the extra wheels can be made to have more friction than usual if the design is such they are not used normally.

True, but this can be compensated for. Current vehicle design is based on human-operated gas vehicles - so it better be aerodynamic (to save gas), and a human needs to be in the front (to see) with only a glass to separate, and it needs a p

The big AV transit efficiency gains* can only happen when nearly all human drivers are removed from the road. Alas, that's at least 20 years ahead of now**, or more (e.g. if tech stalls for some reason, though I consider it unlikely).

Right, it depends on how far one wants to go to avoid allocations. structs and spans are safe. But one can go even deeper and pin pointers and do Unsafe.AsPointer and get a de-facto (unsafe) union out of it.... > https://em-tg.
