As I added in the edit, it is lot less used then what a cursory look may lead you to believe. Mostly only SLBMs really use it.

Regardless, it does not change the number of active warheads a country has, so hitting one city multiple times means not hitting other cities.

Plus, it would take dozens to really cover a city like New York. You can play around with https://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/ to get a feeling for it.

Edit: To be clear, many missiles are capable of carrying MIRVs. Minuteman III missiles can still carry up to 3 warheads. But due to the New START nuclear treaty limits, they are loaded with a single warhead.

What does the delivery method have to do with anything? The numbers of warheads does not change just because you have multiple in one missile.

Also, MIRV is not as widely used as you may think, because until recently, it was limited by treaties.

For example, the peacekeeper, which was a replacement for minuteman designed to carry up to 11 warheads was discontinued and dismantled. So the US still only has minuteman missiles.

He says, after the Dems just had a presidential candidate that did not even run in the primaries.

No, a new party is 100% the way to go, though it shouldn't be hostile to the dems, e.g. not running for president until they have more congressman and senators then the Dems to avoid splitting the vote.

Due to the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, the majority of bombs since 1962 were detonated underground to limit fallout dispersion.

Ok, so we have data only on about 300 above ground nuclear detonations, instead of 2,000. And those 300 included H-Bombs.

Also keep in mind that A-bombs like were dropped in Japan killed everyone within a 1 mile radius. Modern warheads are H-bombs which kill everyone in a 5-10 mile radius.

And how far from a large city do you think the suburbs spread? Yes, anyone near the city center has no chance. That was not disputed by anyone.

And if we want to be pedantic, a hardened underground bunker would probably have chances for survival quite a bit closer than 5-10 miles.

Things talking about waiting a week or two and then it being basically safe to emerge are based on things like Chernobyl, not events where there is fallout being blown through the atmosphere from explosions across the globe.

There were about 2,060 nuclear warheads detonated as part of various nuclear tests by all countries combined. So we know how fallout behaves and it is not based on Chernobyl.

In addition, there is only about 13,400 warhead in the world, about 9000 of which are not actively deployed and therefore would not be part of an unexpected nuclear exchange. So no, the fallout would not be fun, but it would not kill that many people. Especially if they stayed in a bunker for a few weeks.

It really depends. Nuclear bombs are powerful, but they are not as powerful as some people think. If you hit a city center, you would be able to survive in the suburbs easily. In addition, there is a good chance a portion of targets won't be cities, but military bases and other military targets.

So for me, the question that will decide if you survive or not (aside from whether you are unlucky enough to be hit directly) is whether you can secure a food source after your initial supplies run out.

If I am not mistaken, the President has a lot of authority over security clearances. So for the next 4 years, just like with many other things, it will depend on how a certain Orange feels that day.

Also, the drone falling could hit someone or something. So seriously, don't.

Please, do NOT shoot at airborn targets, or any target where your are not certain a missed shot will safely land in an empty area.

How cute. The mental patients are playing a game, where they pretend half of them are normal <3

Again, I explicitly stated I live in a country where we have a government run insurance company in addition to private ones. People can register with whichever they like and send to paperwork to their employer, who pays their insurance (or government if unemployed).

Of course, what they have to cover at minimum is also heavily regulated.

As for other types of companies and rules, that is a long and nuanced discussion that is off-topic here.

Go ahead and tell those big corpos to stop being anti social, I’m sure that’ll secure the funding and commitments necessary industry-wide

We are literally trying to pass a law to force them.

common OS standards

By OS, did you perhaps mean open or open-source?

Because it seems most people understood it as operating system.

I am talking about the video hypothetical. Trying to destroy a game only to profit off the released server.

it cannot be wrong to have monetary interest in your product

There is nothing wrong with making money off the games you make. But once you are done doing that, you shouldn't be allowed to just wipe the thing people paid you for.

Because it would almost certainly not happen in reality. The server being released means everyone could spin up one for free. You wouldn't be able to monetize it to any significant degree.

If you want to be generous toward Thor, he is a security expert trained to focus on any hypothetical risks, however unlikely. If you don't, he is a game developer with monetary interest in this not passing and vast experience conning people.

You can abuse studios right now. This would not change that. It would not make maintenance risky or more expensive.

It provides an extremely theoretical motive for people to do the abuse, that is unlikely to materialize in reality.

And if you want to be theoretical, it removes ideological reasons for abuse. Right now, if you dislike an online game, and got the studio shut down, the game would be gone. With this initiative, it would survive removing the motivation to try in the first place.

The police doesn't have to act if a person drags another person into the precinct and murders them in front of all the cops according stupid US courts (Warren v. District of Columbia).

That's why 2a and self-defense are such important rights. You want to be safe? Better take care of it yourself (or elect a 3rd party that will change the status quo, but fantasy solutions don't count).

It is also possible to block ads using some VPNs. But in general, if you want the freedom to modify things, you should not be using Apple products.
