Who cares when it's the US. Laws only apply for the weak-handed. They controlled the Iraqi government anyway, and they were stealing all of its oil as they wished regardless. The reparations were only the icing on the cake.

By the way, that summary only says "It provides the basis on which.. war reparations may be demanded". If anything I bet it sets out 'restrictions' on when countries can do that.

You telling me a country initiating a war has the right to then ask for reparations for the damages and destruction they caused on the country they initiated the war against? That's so freaking absurd that it is actually funny! I can o

US is the same country that kills Iraqi civilians and requests money for the bullets from the Iraqi government that they control indirectly. US is an evil empire.

Big Data hasn't been about storage, I thought it was always about processing. Guy obviously knows his stuff but I got the impression he stressed more about storage and how that's cheap and easy these days. When he does mention pr

Yup, very irrational to label a state guilt-free for life because "democracy".

I think we are about to see a change in that. If a country like Niger can say f* off to US military presence in the country we're seeing a shift in world geopolitics.

Sure, but to be honest with my explanation I actually have a point with the distinction between fake and forged. Here is an excerpt: > A textbook definition of forgery is the making of a false document with the intent that it should be u

1) Fake 2) Forged 3) Forged 4) Lie 5) Fake As you can probably tell, from my understanding (possibly wrong connection) I think of the word 'to forge' in the context of actually trying to get access to somewhere or something with f

Maybe because my first language isn't English but "forged" to me implies card would've been used for access, or at least attempted, and therefore I feel like the title is click-bait. Had it said "fake" instead

We cannot (competently) make computers work like we want them to, so let's change our lives to adapt to computers instead.

He mentions that even when we consider something intuitive it's because we have actually learned it in one way or another. Key word is 'learn'. And answer to this "unintuitive" problem is good instructions in your s

Not knowing that IF it would indeed show up! Although the benefit here is that after the 45 hours they would know if it's ever coming back, as opposed to having to keep waiting.

So they essentially repaired 'hardware' from 22 light hours away, that's just insane! I love engineering.

What you're describing is the Get Things Done (GTD) method. Have you read the book from David Allen? With that note, I higly recommend the book to OP!

As it happens quite often, you're mistaken about the apostasy part, don't know about the adultery one. Apostasy itself isn't punishable; it's when someone "deflects" to the enemy side and colludes with them. At

There we go again, a western "civilised" citizen calling a sentence barbaric because it was passed by a nation they don't like. It's called justice dude. You seem to belittle 'corruption' but it's actually

How are these companies making any money considering the depreciation and repair costs for these cars?! Leased cars would logically depreciate much faster too considering people won't look after them as if their own. A car worth 30k wo

Yes, but what I'm describing is the problem of not even listening to the idea of a new attempt.

by mavili 2y ago
That is such a problem in today's world. Of course you don't want to re-invent the wheel and all that, but we must be open to the idea of having to do it. Innovation stagnates if people suggesting redoing something are immediately

That's called engineering; you had a problem, you came up with a solution THAT WORKS for your needs. Nicely done and thanks for sharing.
