Some times you want somebody to double check your work before you turn it in

Imagine WW3 kicking off from TikTok. Not even a cool battle or anything, just massive misinformation campaigns to incite violence and false flag attacks

Also

The devices set to be prohibited include all types of smartwatches and wearable devices as well.

I’m surprised they weren’t already restricting most personal electronics in sensitive spaces. That’s pretty basic stuff

It’s not as purpose-built, but its replacing a ton of airframes which are decidedly not as stealthy as an F22. Think of all of the F16s, F18s, and AV-8s being replaced by F35s

Downvotes don’t appreciate the copypasta

Yes. This is generally agreed upon as being a terminal escalation.

Attacking diplomatic missions very quickly turns into no diplomacy between the two countries. This doesn’t leave many options other than military actions on the table.

I’m assuming they wanted the literal length of the string

I can’t imagine that’s any fun to deal with.

“You should have known what the intent of the question was. Management won’t know or care about the internals of your code as long as it meets requirements. You have failed this test.”

Or

“You should know that you’re calling a function with invalid parameters. Where did you get your CS degree from again?”

Poor question more likely

Why should the interviewee assume that?

This could very well be a test to see if the applicant has an idea of how a project scales or how they need to interact with other departments or track down compliance information. It could also test the applicant’s ability to provide a sanity check to a boss’s idea before they pitch something that the team can’t actually do

Nuclear deterrent because it’s submarine-borne. If a country makes a first strike on the UK, their submarines, which are ideally hidden and steaming around in oceans somewhere, can make a retaliation strike. They’re still equipped with nuclear warheads but aren’t necessarily intended for a first strike.

You can destroy the UK, but you won’t escape unscathed.

Texas will not cede its land. Those cities will remain under the care of Texas. That means the people who don’t wish to remain Texans must move.

There’s no way that Texas will allow independent or US-aligned havens within its borders. Have you read what their legislators have said about sanctuary cities?

Let’s say you have 100k federal and military employees in Texas. Are you suggesting that they just up and move on their own dime, when joint travel regulations and US code do not allow for this?

Again, the government would pull out and not pay for their move?

It largely is not the place for the federal government to micromanage trade outside of certain “national security” line items and some sanctions. It’s a lot harder to sell sanctions on your former neighbors to the international community, let alone your own legislators.

I get the zeal, but a clean secession sucks for everybody and in no way does anybody come out on top. This is without accounting for any violence or armed conflict over disputed items like military bases, national guard posts, defense contractors like Boeing and Lockheed, and energy production facilities.

Can we realistically move everybody who wishes to remain a US citizen? Who pays for their move?

What about all of the federal government employees, including military, who currently live and work in the state?

This kind of thing would probably take months just for physical moving of households and I wonder if we even have the throughput to get this accomplished before whatever arbitrary succession date.

No matter figuring out what happens to everybody paying into federal services such as social security and Medicare. The fed will laugh in the face of anybody trying to claim back 20 years of taxes because they aren’t using a system they paid into. 20 million or so taxpayers who decide to secede will have to just give up what they’ve invested.

Yeah, I should have clarified IOS. Their phones and tablets are locked down with jailbreaks few and far between.

Ironically, there’s no easy way to block ads on a modern Apple device. You know, Google’s competition?

Same as any other energy cost. Modern societies rely on some type of energy to exist. Maybe the poor people will suffer because they can’t afford to fill up their vehicles with the cheaper dirty fuel and miss out on work opportunities. Maybe everybody suffers because the cheaper dirty fuel catalyzes harmful pollutants into the air which everybody breathes.

I guess it’s easy to say don’t buy cheap fuel because it’s bad for you, but if the alternative means not having a job or something to people with little to lose, that’s a call that’s harder to sell.

I feel you. Noise pollution is bad in some places. You have to play your music really loud for it to bother people next to you.

Unlikely. That would require adding in significant sound deadening to almost the entire engine bay and restricting exhausts more than they already are with diesel particulate filters and cats. If you ever check out the car audio enthusiasts, you can see they easily spend a few thousand applying deadening materials to their vehicles and increasing their weight to boot.

Don’t see how it could be any other way.

If Cummins could manufacture and sell compliant engines which met performance goals and customer expectations, they would. Writing has been on the wall for tampering with diesel engine emissions in the US for a while now.
