most other countries dont keep an open air prison of millions of people on their doorstep and take potshots at journalists and children on the regular.
There have been multiple war games where German and Swedish subs on the "enemy" team have popped up within a few hundred metres of a US carrier, snapped a picture (which could have been a torpedo launch) and escaped again without being detected.
Yep tonnage is a far better metric than number of hulls (while still not perfect obviously) If one country has 10 speedboats with machine-guns on the front and the other has an aircraft carrier it is slightly misleading to say the first countries navy is ten times larger.
Yeah, that's not true is it? The SPD fought against the Nazis all the way up until the end and were the largest force against them in the Reichstag. It was the communist that refused to ally with them against the Nazis as the Stalin enforced policy was to not collaborate with "social fascists" (i.e. any party not taking orders from Moscow) and directed far more opposition to them than to the Nazis until it was too late.
You dont get to be a senior police officer and "joke" about rounding up political disenters and shipping them off to be bombed by the military. That is mask off facsism.
one of the sad things about this is that it devalues actual antisemitism too. Its got to the point now where if soneone is accused of being anti semitic now i assume they just were critical of Isreali policy. Actual "Hitler did nothing wrong" anti semities beneift from this by being camoflaged among those who just disagree with cutting off food water and electricity to millions of civilians.
if vpns still run in china where the entire security establishment (including all the network infrastructre) are playing cat and mouse with trying to block them i think they can manage it for a tech company clinging on with 1/3 of the required workforce.
Terrawatt is 10^12 so 1000 tonnes of battery would give you around 200MWh of storage. To get to 2000 TWh you are looking at 10,000,000,000 tonnes of Li-ion batteries. For a bit of scale, thats like turning around 10% of mount Everest into battery.
in the UK the majority of employees don't even sign a tax form, the correct amount of tax just gets taken out your wage and at the end of the year the inland revenue send you a cheque or a bill for if you paid too much/little.
It probably has more to do with the fuck up they did with accidentally creating a torrent for the original model's weights allowing them to spread across the internet. Doesn't really take "balls" to open source it after that and make it look like it was intentional. Still good that they did however rather than trying to use legal intimidation on anyone who used the leaked models.
2003 called, they want their joke back
