It's easy enough to add Leica cameras to your Leica Geosystems deployment, but then you need to do geotechncial work in-house so that you can complete the Leica trifecta.

> I don't know how breaking down the whole exterior of a house to fix it down to the foundation would feel though.

Not your problem.

And at this point the only question is when Taiwan will announce that they now have nukes and which neighboring countries they invited to join the program.

China owns half Trump's cabinet, but Xi's always wanted to invade Taiwan regardless of the consequences and this isn't a game he can win.

Only because the current mayor hates non-drivers and is sandbagging bus lanes. Seattle's buses will become a lot faster in January once the Wilson administration starts putting bus lanes everywhere.

That bill appears strictly performative, especially when the Democrats can and have shut down the House by merely demanding a vote on attaching Epstein riders to bills.

If there were to be a bill that successfully implemented a 25% tax on offshoring for US companies, US investors would rapidly improve their ability and inclination to invest in other places. Nobody's going to increase or decrease offshoring as a result; the non-executive jobs that are in the US without a legal (e.g., security clearance) requirement are those that the CFO and board are already satisfied have substantial -EV if they were to be performed from a low-wage country instead.

Contrary to the article, Indians don't have a binary choice between working in the US and India; if the former no longer provides the ability to have higher QOL and savings on a tech salary, the people who used to get an H-1B will go to Canada, Europe, and Australia instead.

That would be my first guess if the devices were found in the Middle East, but legitimate interconnect in the US is stupid cheap. (See e.g. Twilio's SIP pricing; I assume they have reasonable supply chain security.)

Compartments are just for SCI. IC agencies do like putting all the classification markings on cafeteria menus, but they do non-SCI as well.

Both SAPs and SCI control systems can be unacknowledged/unpublished, and foreign releasability markings can easily be classified because they show that the country in question has an intelligence relationship with the US that covers a specific topic.

We have thousands of such caches.

I'm fine with Android, but not Android (or any other OS) from 2022.

Congress could remove Texas's exemptions from those rules at any time. It's got nothing to do with whether and how much the Texas grid connects with others.

Whatever he agrees to today, he'll do something different tomorrow. You can either tell him where to put it or not.

Those writers used different media (and it's in caddies) which can't be read by a normal LD player.

CS is a real degree, but it's more math than engineering. CS and engineering have nothing in common beyond math and physics prerequisites.

We can't even terraform the Empty Quarter. Doing it to Mars and then somehow giving that planet a magnetic field is fantasy.

If by "available" you mean that there's a standard. There may be PHY designs that exist but they're not available for purchase, probably because there's no identifiable market. Any potential customer who for some reason wanted to build an AP1000 reactor unit for their datacenter and a second unit for that datacenter's PHYs would need to design their own networking equipment. Which might use 40G but at this point it's questionable — that's the sort of slow equipment you might see in a rack-scale on-premises installation.

The process is that they need to be designated by specified cabinet members based on published criteria. If Funnull believe that they weren't lawfully designated (e.g., because they're actually in Peoria or whatever), they can hire a lawyer and sue.

Secession would require renegotiating Treaties 4, 6, 7, 8, and 10. Good luck with that.

NJ has 10M residents, of which ~500k work in NYC, and at most 2% of those would pay the congestion charge based on their pre-charge commute. Even if every one of those people previously voted D and went hard R plus convinced five of their non-driving friends to do the same, that's 50k flipped votes which is utterly irrelevant.

The better political option is to increase the 2-axle congestion charge to $25 (London's £15 adjusted by PPP using national numbers, so extremely conservative) and spend half of it on transit in the commuter's origin location.

Fewer. </davos>

“Nothing changes. Corruption, immorality, chaos.”

American ISPs without competition charge double what Norwegian ones do for substantially worse service. That money isn't used for physical plant; if it isn't going to profits, where is it being spent?

The government gave large incumbent ISPs money to do exactly what they did (anything but actually providing internet access). If, as you claim, the money was intended to somehow benefit their customers, it would have been taken back.

"I'll have lunch with your machine."

So fix MTA. Their system expansion budget is currently $15B/year, so at the costs of a low-wage, low-regulation, totally ununionized country like (checks notes) Norway, they could be building 60 km of new lines per year.

"China" can refer to any number of different things; "CCP" only refers to the Party.

But in this case the Facebook board (which has a fiduciary duty to the company, not to Zuck) paid $5B when the BATNA had them pay $100M. The extra money bought the company nothing; the only benefits were to Zuck and Sandberg personally, which makes the $4.9B undeclared income -- if they didn't disclose it as part of their compensation on the relevant SEC documents and W2s, it's tax and securities fraud. And hence this lawsuit.

Preferred stockholders (get paid first but can't vote) and common stock (can vote) are normal; the tech innovation is multiple classes of shares so that they get the benefits of an IPO without risking loss of control. Without that, Zuck would have waited as long as possible to list because once he loses control he loses the ability to spend company money on himself. Which he's breaking the law by doing; hence this suit.

Your employer should provide an adequate chair. Even the US federal government is capable of meeting that bar, albeit with more delays and paperwork than a private-sector employer.

A diesel-electric could get a lot closer to a Chinese carrier. More importantly, the distance between Taiwan and China is well under 220 nm so open-ocean surveillance capability isn't particularly meaningful.

Basic users don't even have to pay, and if you're doing something that requires the paid version you can buy and will benefit from the $300 control surface that also includes a Studio license.
