They have been in compliance with nuclear treaties, that’s not a trivial point.
Also going back to the time of slave trade and genocide of native Americans seems a bit rich…

It would not be necessary, as you pointed out, plenty of Ukrainians still live in Russia and they are free to drive trucks. Best of my knowledge, there is nothing like interment of Japanese that happened in US during WW2.

I guess after today's attack, that treaty is dead.
well current actions certainly aren't helping
This attack, potentially, might spell the end of that treaty.
Is it such an amazing idea? Imagine the shoe is on the other foot - would you normally be able to drive a truck full of drones into a country at war, say Israel? This puts a target on civilian vehicles.
> In the process, manage to poke serious holes into Russia's nuclear deterrent.
Again, is it such an amazing idea? Do you want to make people in charge of nuclear weapons more jumpy and likely to make a rash decision?
Because if they do, then capitalism is horrible, and if they do not, then the argument made by the OP is hypocritical
Miners were getting paid in USSR too, are they capitalist too by this logic?
I am measuring by the same yardstick as the OP.
If taxes to pay for public services are good capitalism, then you can’t call Europe socialist.
> The modern LED was developed by…
Whatever, take Hyperbaric welding. Will a western oil company refuse to use it because it was invented in USSR?
The fundamental accusation of the OP is totally hypocritical.
Uber's Series C was $361M, that's the kind of money you need to put a company on the global map.
> every single job, iPhone, and modern convenience they enjoy exists because someone, somewhere, took a risk to make a profit.
Amazingly capitalists use things invented by socialists, like satellites, or the LED. Or things invested by Nazis and Monarchists.
Their favourite iPhone is made by communists, with minerals mined by .. well I am not sure what you call em but they are not capitalists
Every day Capitalists use public sanitation, running water, Education, GPS, police and prosecution but they imagine they could exist in a mad max world instead of dying of cholera
This is not a meaningful statement
‘Returning money in private hands’ does not result in more startup investment, it’s not in the culture to do this.
The money will be put into real estate, bonds, or whatever.
Look at London - it has as much wealth as NewYork or LA but all the money just piles up in real estate or Fintech.
But outside those niches? Good luck getting a farm-tech startup funded, no-one will take a punt.
So it falls to the government to try and kickstart something. As flawed as it may be.
Then they put together a competition for funding that basically feels like a school exam
I mean this is basically heresy now.
most code is virtualised, or sandboxed, or in a VM, or a docker container, or several of the above at the same time.
It’s fascinating that we keep creating new technology and then find out that in practice most of it cannot be trusted. Which means it cannot be used for anything serious.
IT revolution is a bit of a failure
And when that’s lost, what do you do? Aren’t you back to account recovery step?
This story keeps repeating. Maybe we should try it and see if it works as a deterrent.
UK has had them in government since 2022, or maybe since Brexit/ Teresa May with her nickname Maybot.
The decline in quality of governance has been so severe, that I’d wager you would not see a difference. Both sides of the isle seem to be full of unintelligent or inexperienced people that do not believe in anything or have a vision
To increase shareholder value?
But you can sell options on your family’s votes.
Once someone sells a vote, they are in vote debt, and can default by voting a different person than they agreed.
So now you have to have a credit rating, but for voters. Then you need to have Voter Default swaps, which can be Bundled into Voter Default Obligations, Of VDO’s. And then you can have Synthetic Voter Default Swaps and ahead of a major election you can do a Big Short.
Folks, this has already been happening for decades, western consultancies and think tanks have been pushing for privatisation and outsourcing to American firms and as a result many governments, like UK, have been hollowed. In many cases they haven’t got a grip and the country is running on autopilot.
As the consultancies replace employees with AI, the outcome you talk about will be achieved, in about 5 years. No far fetched future required
Very convenient how it works out
For my behaviour the law is very short and clear - taking product or service without paying for it is theft.
If I pay for 1 car but take an additional wheel, I am a criminal.
But management of a company can wake up one day, take more money from my account and call it an additional fee for the same service.
To put this in perspective, that’s less compute than a phone released in 2023, 12 years ago, Samsung Galaxy S4. To find this level of performance in a computer, we have to go to
The main issue is that Kubernetes has created good API and primitives for managing cloud stuff, and managing a single server is still kinda crap despite decades of effort.
I had K3S on my server, but replaced with docker + Traefik + Portainer - it’s not great, but less idle CPU use and fewer moving parts
> The entire operation lasted 53 minutes – of which the assault lasted only 30 minutes
They did not even control of the whole airport, let alone for a prolonged period of time. they got the hostages out and GTFO’d.
Given that this never happened to before, requires sneaking thousands of armed men into to USA and does not achieve anything obvious besides general terrorism, why do you believe this is relevant?
And if someone did commandeer an airport, why would you evacuate the president instead of putting him in the panic room and flooding Washington with military and police?
After this unlikely series of events, what is achieved? Do American people give up because someone killed an easily replaceable politician with bad approval rating?
training on a confidential mission is just inviting disaster
