It's very likelly it was initiated as part of the same PR excercise, of which the war itself was part of.

Short circuit due to vibration letting sharp parts cut through insulation.

Normally, cabling near vibrating parts must be installed in a protective sleeve, but penny pinchers pinch.

At "only" 100GBPs per adapter, with said adapter costing like 1 Epyc, does it make sense?

Epycs can do 400gbps of compression in software, without much SSE, and handwritten assembler.

No wonder, these tools just gather word statistics from some large online publications repository.

As I said in the other comment, the majority of global money laundering happens in banks, and investment funds completely legally. And it's also happening primarily in US because US financial markets are world's largest.

Why to go after money laundry clients, when they should really go after the bank laundry owners?

Western governments never needed KYC AML for that, because they already knew perfectly well who is laundering money and where.

Chinese and Russian mafia members lived openly in the West in tens of thousands for decades, and its absolutely impossible that no Western counterintelligence agency ever checked them. The ill famed Andrei Guriev literally lived in Vauxhall.

If US government was serious about Chinese/Russian infiltration of American financial system, Blackrock would've been sent to Guantanamo years ago. I find it absolutely implausible that the White House don't know it.

The absolute majority of laundry is happening in 100% legal banks, and investment funds. Any baddie who can launder few billion dollars, can buy a bank completely legally.

Hong Kong was leased to the British Crown in the perpetuity.

No, TSMC 22 has no eFLASH, expensive SRAM, lacking of analog capability, lacks high temperature tolerance, and is tied to multiple patterning design flow.

TSMC 40 on the other hand is the last portable node, with MRAM, eFLASH, high temp, some mixed signal, RF, no MP, and everything else your soul desires.

For Germany, it's an insurance against TSMC possibly bailing out in the future.

The 22nm node is also a very strange choice. It's absolutely not a thing which most of German industry needs, which are microcontroller, high voltage, mixed signal, niche memory, and ASIC friendly nodes.

2. Much of restaurants in Russia are indeed Chechen owned. Great many of Japanese, Chinese, Korean restaurants, and street food in general in Russia have Chechen owners.

That the real Russia.

And if the SCC judge will say arbitrate, then, why not for something so trivial, and clear cut?

It works, because big cos almost universally settle. Attorneys cost many times more than your acc.

And another moment, small claims court judges are rarely some ideological cranks.

Nuclear is ran in between 250C-350C, which is rather inefficient, and requires very big turbines.

An "Insert the dongle" popup is instantly understandable, and we never had any problem with employees learning how to use them. Windows, Linux, Macs all eat GIDS smartcards without an issue, no extra drivers needed. Works across well web access, ssh, SASL, kerberos.

And now those people want us to move to FIDO keys, which come with each new version, one more problem, and don't work with anything, but Google stack.

You can even setup your office access control on the same smartcards.

VPN authors should chose the maximum collateral damage strategy to frustrate GFW authors, make China as close as possible to completely cutting off outside internet. No need to completely evade fingerprinting, instead, do the complete opposite, and try to mimic common protocols, and critical applications as much as possible.

1. Russia does not have journalists.

2. When people see a military putsch, they don't normally stop to film it. They run for their lives instead.

> with few notable exceptions, we have not even seen faces of anyone from national security council. Some local actions of the governors, fortification of Moscow, pathetic speech of Putin in the morning and that’s it.

3. Everybody was waiting to see who will win, and join the winning side

> All despite that PMC Wagner is a criminal organization famous for extra-judicial executions, war crimes etc. An organization led by an open nazi (Utkin) and assembled from prisoners, many of which were convicted for violent crimes. It is crazy how people can even think of collaborating with them.

4. I'm surprised this coming as a surprise to anybody. They would've gotten the same treatment in much of the world.

> Russia still has nuclear weapons and it is big enough that even without using them by falling apart it can destabilize the entire world.

Russia will be 100 times less of a treat to the world, if it crashes, and breaks apart.

Hackernewsers knows well I am extremely anti-Russian.

The West massively misunderstands Russia, and how it works on the inside. If you watch CSIS, RAND, Aspen institute, you will see 10 talking heads each talking his own completely different story, and none of them tells more than a Russian highschooler can.

Seeing Westerners instinctively reaching for "the best known source" tells why something like this came as a surprise in the first place, while this exact scenario been a watercooler talk for most Russians, both in Ukraine, and Russia itself.

Why Western experts driving the conversation on Russia, China, etc are completely blind to things known to every highschooler?

The reason is they are all having near zero personal experience outside politics, but Russia has no politics as such. None of them had that visceral back alley survival experience, which shape you for life.

You are effectively asking for a disclosure of shop secrets. Even in cases of completely no-name factories, there will be so much of clever things nobody would put on a paper.

One factory owner went nuts when we were going with inspection for a client in 2009, just because we clicked seemingly innocuous looking jig which was putting threaded inserts into mould. It later came out that nobody else anywhere had anything like that, and most factories rely on laborious process of manually putting inserts into the mould.

There is so many unobvious things which 99% of people without actual manufacturing experience routinely overlook in ubiquitous items around us.

I once been openning up dozens of laptop samples, and one in 100, from a noname factory had seemingly no ribs in its bottom cover, and seemingly nothing restraining it flexing, and sliding. Then, after days of hair pulling, the secret cracked.. nuts, and screws inside were not meeting orcompletely, but were suspended with preloaded fasteners, which used those few free millimetres of free travel for it.

But when the trend for ridiculously thin laptops came, they went back to upside down.

A heavy contactor powers on stage 1, stage 1 powers another heavy contactor powering stage 2, stage 2 does the same with stage 3.

When mains voltage is too low, the contactor cannot close. This way this allows for tens of milliseconds of separation in between power ons.

They say that the trade was done under cover, but they don't tell why the Soviet Union was doing that trading at all.

USSR was absolutely existentially dependent on its foreign exchange streams, and what little they were able to sell to the West, was sold it prodigious quantities, no questions asked. The Soviets have probably tried to upsell them again, and again. USSR needed USD like water to maintain the supply of Western luxuries for CPSU higher ups, but what was even more important than that was USSR's near complete reliance of the Western high tech goods up until late eighties.

That's why selling things like titanium was taking a precedence for them over making their own jet fighters out of said titanium in the first place. Luxuries, and technologies were taking far higher precedence in CPSU's minds over that.

A screw does not need feedback for being torqued to spec, but for glue, you need eyes to see if it sticks properly, and is not beading, and no other defects. And if there are defects, you need fingers for to wipe them.

Without this dam, Crimea will be without water for at least next 3 to 5 years after Ukraine recaptures it.
