Anybody who's ever had an strong echo on a phone line knows that effect.
I get it a lot when I call my father's cell phone.
I'm pretty sure I saw a demo of the effect at either a tech show or a science museum back in the 80's.
Saw this at a Science museum as a kid, probably 80s like you.
Classic Shell also does Win95- and XP-style single-column start menus, which I like even better than the Win7-style two-column menu. I use it all the time on my laptop.
As do I. I don't like Win7's menu. 95/xp was always cluttered, but if you take a few minutes to organize it yourself, it's great.
managers still have a few years to figure out how to stifle the threat
Oh, boy, that statement is so scary.
Sounds like an SEP. (Somebody Else's Problem)
It's irresponsible but also less than what other countries have done previously.
Previous irresponsibility or irresponsibility of others is not an acceptable justification for continued irresponsibility.
That's like a statistician saying they can walk across a river because on average it's only 4 feet deep, and then they drown in the attempt because average doesn't tell you shit when the middle is 10 feet with a strong current.
I understand the point you are trying to make, and you are correct, but the example is a bit flawed. Even if it's exactly 4 feet deep all the way across, with "a strong current" you're going downstream anyway.
There are also US warships in the Taiwan Strait as well as CCP warships.
Joe would probably recall the US ships as leverage.
When China fills the void left by those ships, see how many chips the USA gets then.
The largest US producer, Diamond Foundry, says its process is "100% hydro-powered, meaning zero emissions." Both types are chemically and physically identical to mined diamonds.
It sounds good that they are using green energy to make these, but it would be better if that green energy wasn't wasted on something useless like this.
Unless they are only making "industrial diamonds" for tools, etc.
Friction is a drag.
