Don't confuse political limitations and lack of a theory of victory with the inability to achieve a goal. A blockade needs ships those ships can be destroyed.

11 carriers are not just for show.

In America you can call politicians names. In Germany that's a criminal offense

"Stop him!" "For what?" "He's a bad man" "There's no law against that"

Unless there is a statue that is on point criminalizing the actions here no one is going to jail. I expect there will be laws, but until then it isn't illegal.

Jobs are things people are willing to pay money to have done and thus are important to society. It's not surprising people find purpose in them.

Better to die on ones feet than live on ones knees.

Agents aren't subjects of criminal law. I agree there may be civil liability, I know far less about that.

The CFAA says knowingly. Negligence is by definition an excuse for that.

This is a very notorious area for dense definitions and concepts that interrelate closely and have to be memorized. Mathematicians from other areas are going to have difficulty but may have some idea of what the concepts try to capture.

Some areas are hard in different ways. I could never quite wrap my head around the way logicians have to think. A clever combinatorial bijection is a work of art you probably can explain to a undergrad class easily but good luck coming up with it. And number theorists will throw the kitchen sink at their problems: no area of math is safe from getting used by them.

People who do this have spent years of their life thinking in this language and studying it, so it is going to be hard. We're also not good at communicating the intuition which for algebraic geometry often comes from other fields.

The one who will come tomorrow. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waiting_for_Godot

IANAL but I thought the whole reason scanning worked was it wasn't required so there weren't fourth amendment issues.

Diatoms sink when dead and we have decent ideas about the rate at which this happens.

The average private banking or wealth management client gets sold things far less destructive than the Robin Hood client who is far less able to withstand it.

Depends on the canal. The UK narrow boat network has locked everywhere so minimal current in most sections similarly the Netherlands. In fact most canals. But then you have something like Suez which is just open to the ocean.

Every Wall Street bank is run by guys who get that there are rules to this game and you don't squeeze the unsophisticated the same way. The same can't be said for Silicon Valleys contribution to the brokerage world.

If you can make the software cover the toil you save the staff for the tough cases.

There are exactly 3 old buildings in Warsaw thanks to the Germans. Brutalism exists because a generation who grew up in rubble wanted solidity.

The potholes in the city of Berkeley make me glad I have a hybrid bike.

Caterpillar does have a lot to do with the product. It crawls on a track and a photographer thought the track looked like a caterpillar .

Paragraph A,not paragraph B applies to actual kratom leaf.

Berkshires share classes are different in that A is exactly ten B shares and anyone can convert A to B and hold them. The dual share classes that are bad separate control from ownership.

For Nakayama lemma (but they give a cleaner proof later). Note that the book was from the 1960's and from lectures at Oxford: matrix manipulations like that were a lot more commonplace.

Radia Perlman is the name that jumps to mind for me, but there are a bunch of others.

Or stockpile a two year supply. You can get a lot with a billion dollars.

Most colors in synthetic pigments are from conjugated double bonds that don't need relativistic effects to explain: no heavy atoms here!

I was baffled enough by this comment to take my copy and look. The Nullstellensatz is an exercise late in the book long after Noetherian rings are introduced and they don't even do the Rabinowitz trick in the hints as they have enough theory to hit it the hard way. Determinants are nowhere to be found.

The Quing era boundaries are quite a bit larger than the Han boundaries. That did not happen by peaceful means.

UK has had some atrocious response times.

The epic and the play are several thousand years older. Novels are the newest kind of literature, even if it has been a few centuries at this point.

The ability to decrypt depends on figuring out that the sharing scheme has your pieces covered, and knowing that you have in fact covered the right thing because of a bug like this is hard to do. There are some ways to test the sharing scheme that might have caught this, and looking at example shares carefully should have, but it's a bit more subtle to make generic tests.
