Interesting. Might be effective against the less sophisticated systems that North Korea and Israel have. I'd imagine that the French and US and Russian ones are probably radiation hardened though.

The Simpsons is biting social and political satire... Or it used to be I mean it's been on the air too long and with that Elon Musk episode they were clearly paid to say shit.

But the fact that you don't understand that is what's wrong with america. Somebody tried to teach you when you were growing up what satire was and how to interpret it and I'm sorry but that person failed you.

The Simpsons made jokes about it all the time.

50+ hour work weeks and constant Financial stress is what's affecting the bond. 90 minute one-way commutes affect the bond.

You don't waste time on your phone because it's fun you do it because you're exhausted from life. It's not addiction you're numbing the pain from modern Life. What the cool kids called alienation.

indexing != making and retaining a copy of, and then using for commercial purposes.

OPNSense lets you define an alias of type=BGP ASN. Then you just use the alias as the target in a block rule.

False. Their changes won't prevent Denuvo from being broken again, so there is no hand-forcing, just a lot of them using that hand to jack off.

We don't, though. Some of us do, but many want things to not just stay the same but go backwards, to a time when they personally were doing better... or thought they were.

Except we don't have to bother with importers now, we can easily just go direct to the source. The barriers that meant we needed them in the past have been removed.

Unless you are in the EU, in which case the 3 Euro per item group charge is ridiculous. Almost enough for me not to want to rejoin.

Companies make press releases. Sometimes they are disguised as papers. "Do their thing" means "do stuff which makes money", that's the only reason they exist.

Nukes in space aren't all that useful anyway. Very expensive, vulnerable because you can't hide a satellite, and offering little over submarine launched ICBMs.

First strikes are pointless because submarines will launch a second strike back at you. If the satellites can't be hidden they aren't much good for second strikes either.

Unless you need it very quickly, why pay the 10x mark-up from Amazon at all? Just copy the product image, search by image on AliExpress, and enjoy a 90% discount. Takes about 10 days to get to the UK, or less if you can find one that ships from a local warehouse.

It's not just the return policy you are paying for, it's the middle men.

You pay 10x as much (literally, many sellers seem to just take the AliExpress/Alibaba price and add an extra zero) and over a few purchases the 90% discount you get by buying direct from China far outweighs any losses due to defective or fraudulent products.

That said AliExpress is actually okay with returns now, at least for UK customers. Often you don't have to return things at all. You can always do a credit card chargeback on expensive items too, and they won't penalize you for it.

It's because the US is big on negative freedom, which is freedom from interference, but seems to dislike positive freedom, which is the opportunity to prosper.

In Europe there is a lot of positive freedom. The right to an education, limits on what you can contractually sign away, rules that address the power imbalance between large corporations and individuals.

Chinese companies will finance it because it's a matter of national security, because the Chinese government backs their efforts, and because the potential pay-off is huge.

There are already Chinese DRAM manufacturers doing reasonably well in the embedded/mobile space. This has been brewing for years.

Codeweavers helps develop Proton.

Have a think about how Proton is developed before you talk more bullshit.
