Very good passage and it’s relevant in the modern world again. Arguably even more so than it was during Marx’s time in some respects.

Essentially the goal is this: to use a giant electromagnetic launch track to accelerate a hypersonic aircraft to Mach 1.6. The aircraft would then separate from the track, ignite its engine and enter near space at seven times the speed of sound.

Does no one read the article anymore before commenting? I’m not responding to all the comments here since it’s clearly a waste of my time, but every single one of the concerns that people mention in this thread so far has been acknowledged in the article already.

Works for me

I hate the discourse around new jobs to make the economy seem better.

Unless it’s a full-time job with full benefits, a pension, and a living wage to support a family, it’s a temporary gig that people are coerced into, not a real job.

Market analysts said that there is no relief as of yet from this difficult period. They urged the government to play a role as a mediator, so companies can map out more specific investment plans by clearing away any lingering uncertainties.

“The government is advised to stand at the forefront in discussing subsidy-related issues with its U.S. counterparts, so local chipmakers and battery firms’ uncertainties can be alleviated,

Give more money please lol. These global companies just keep a train of endless grift going.

At the time of his death, Mr Barnett had been in Charleston for legal interviews linked to that case.

Last week, he gave a formal deposition in which he was questioned by Boeing’s lawyers, before being cross-examined by his own counsel.

He had been due to undergo further questioning on Saturday. When he did not appear, enquiries were made at his hotel.

He was subsequently found dead in his truck in the hotel car park.

We’re not paying Dalai Lama to stay quiet. Have him say “to the last Ukrainian” immediately!

Now think about how many “birds” you’ve seen that were walking or resting instead of flying. The system takes cost-effectiveness into consideration.

GRRM poured his heart out on it instead of working on Game of Thrones so that might be why it’s so good.

Since the article conveniently doesn’t mention it, military “exercises” includes activities such as flying a squadron of supersonic jets to the border before veering off at the last second, giving North Korea minutes to respond.

It’s an invasion simulation that is virtually impossible to distinguish from a real invasion until it’s over.

Smart timing. Leave instead of facing the incoming blowback for her part in Euromaidan now that the Ukrainian project has become a total failure.

For the last couple of years, a few North Korean vloggers – Song-Ah, YuMi, and Un-A – launched their YouTube channels. These three vloggers gave a glimpse of their everyday lives, from what they eat to their hobbies to their travels. They also have videos that showcase the infrastructures in North Korea, such as the Hwaseong Apartment Complex, Pyongyang Metro, and Kim Il Sung Square.

In June 2023, however, YouTube announced that it had banned these YouTube channels “to comply with US sanctions and trade compliance laws, including those related to North Korea.” The videos disappeared for a while but many of these have been reuploaded by other YouTube users.

It doesn’t feel fair to label North Korea “secretive” when the rest of the world bans them from even using Youtube and even hides their videos.

I don’t subscribe to Mainichi so I don’t have full access either. It seems to be an exclusive interview too which is a shame.

Makes sense. It’s communism when tanks don’t run over people, so the inverse must be true as well.

To add onto the comment, having the revenue cover the operating costs is super important as the company will go down under if it isn’t true even in the short-term. It matters less when it’s the semiconductor industry as the state can cover short-term losses, but it’s important for other companies until we move away from money entirely.

Good news on one hand. On the other hand, I don’t believe a single word that South Korea’s defense chief says as a general principle unless there’s more evidence.
