I’m not opposing the research, I’m opposing the implementation. Spending trillions of dollars because >1% of the population would be inconvenienced as you showed by having to use less developed or more expensive alternative is stupid.
Investing trillions of dollars into dead ends is, however, the enemy of progress. The ressources we’re throwing at replacing existing cars with EV cars would be enough to implement better solutions.
Yes! And you know what, at that point, given the size of a minimum viable car, we could use some kind of algorithm to match people that are going similar places, and put them together to be more efficient. And I bet we’d find that a lot of the large scale transit patterns are common large parts of the population, so we could even use some kind of segregated, higher speed, more frequent vehicle for that.
While we’re at it, we might as well just warehouse some of these vehicles around places where the common cores end and start, and then we would only have to match one end of the trip.
Oh wait, we already have those in operation in China: https://m.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=wvNOTZZeYVs
Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo phones have Google Play outside of China.

Chinese shipbuilding is very overwhelmingly civilian.
The difference between MAD and the Samson option, is that in the former you’re only attacking whoever attacked you, while in the former you’re attacking bystanders that refused to intervene on your behalf.
Yes, it is, but until the fireball is smaller than a pixel, you will see a reduction in the number of pixels illuminated, and then a reduction in exposure. And I’d wager that for a sizeable bomb it will take a while for that reduction in exposure to mean you stop clipping the sensor, especially at night with the ISO dialed up.
Nah you can’t, they’ll be bright enough to saturate the sensor.
Because it’s not true. Israel decides what comes in and out, otherwise they threaten either airstrikes or to reinvade the border region. The one thing Israel doesn’t object to is to allow all Gazans to leave, but that’s because they want Gaza to repopulate so they can seize it.
The condition for Israel pulling out of the border was that they would decide what gets in or out. When Egypt yesterday wanted to provide fuel and supplies, Israel threatened an airstrike.
If your goal is independence, two sources are always better than one.
Reducing fossil fuel use by increasing costs and funneling profits to America is a neoliberal approach to climate change and doesn’t work. All it’s going to do is make people poorer and move production of petrochemical-derived and energy-intensice products elsewhere. This is because the market is not able to make a sustainable change away from fossil fuels, especially not for a temporary wars, as these investments have to be amortized over decades. If you want to actually reduce fossil fuel use for heating and electrcity, you need governmental investment into nuclear and renewable energy and programs to install heat pumps. Becoming dependent on American gas is not actually going to help, and neither will changes in prices because it’s a non-market solution.
Unless of course you think America is inherently more ethical than Russia and should be preferred - I’ll let you make that argument.
There is another Nazi symbol there, the Sonnenrad.
If your goal is to hurt high finance then anticapitalist theories are correct, not salafism.
And of course it didn’t mean nothing, it was a terrorist attack. It just wasn’t any kind of remotely effective attack against finance or some bullshit like that, it was just an attack against the tallest building because what else would you attack with a plane. I’m not the one giving it meaning that the authors of the attack never gave it.
The entire point of financial capital is that attacks against things like their headquarters mean nothing. That’s not where they get their power. All you’re going to do is murder replaceable cogs for no reason.
95-97% of the people in a typical high finance office are working class or PMC people. The reason why finance is so lucrative is because it concentrated wealth so effectively. I know this because I was an IT guy in a very very high finance firm a long time ago - the vast majority of people are paper pushing schmucks and excel/PowerPoint contortionists and, like, 3-4 guys are partners or whatever and take the dough. And most of the times they’re going to be at home or on a trip sipping martinis, possibly with clients. Another 4-12 people are going to be sharing a bit of the profits in exchange for overworking the rabble. It’s a bit different nowadays since the quantitative finance people took over a lot of it and they only employ people that could work in tech but yeah traditional finance is mostly a PMC trap. The bourgeoisie is too smart to spend their life in a cubicle. At most there would maybe be the replaceable CEO.
The vast majority of people there were PMC at worst, not bourgeois.
The goal is that now that they’ve been caught pirating lyrics, they have to pay MusixMatch for their lyrics, perhaps on a per request basis, so they lose money by making it available.
Abaya and the male equivalents are mostly adaptations to arid, sunny climates and predate Islam.
Saturation attacks (fire more cruise missiles than it has interceptors to defend itself) are a pretty sure fire way. You can buy 8000 cruise missiles for the cost of a single carrier.
Alternatively, antiship ballistic missiles, super long range torpedoes/unmanned submarines.
