Changing the name officially would be a provocation to CCP China, perhaps enough to spur them into an invasion. The Taiwan government, for now, is content with the status quo, and tends to avoid any direct provocation. In the same way, Taiwan's allies, such as the USA, at least give lip service to China's "One China" policy even as they trade with and give support (including military equipment) to Taiwan.

No, they don't have pumps or the energy needed to do that all the way to 100%. They do send water from a higher lock to a lower lock until they are both at 50%, but they have to fill the remaining portion from the lake system on top.

It became more common when they started getting most orders from the web page, but even before that, over the phone you could order whatever toppings you want. (They just didn't advertise all the options back then.) They also gave the option of different toppings on left and right to keep a family happy when they have different tastes. And since it's now on a web page, they don't have to spend time on the phone while you explain it to them.

But even back in the 90's, my dad ordered a pizza with half no cheese. (He still had the sauce though.)

AI output can't be copyrighted. And copyright has long had a fair use exception for criticism and news reporting which would apply.

That would be a charge in functionality.

It's not that those companies know more or less that that guy. It's that the companies are too lazy to arrange a different shipping company to deal with the small percent of destinations where it's advantageous. It's outside their normal process, so it's inherently more expensive even if the monetary cost is lower.

Pantone suddenly decided to assert copyright and licensing to the literal names of colors in a way the broke art files going back decades.

There's a fair chance we would mine it more responsibly than if somebody else mines it elsewhere.

It depends on the terms of that peace. If Russia wants peace, they can withdraw to their 1997 treaty borders. They can not be allowed to hold Ukraine land gained through conquest.

They added face recognition to the SIM registration process, in an attempt to reduce fraud. (Maybe by limiting or not allowing duplicate faces.) But a monkey face works too, and they are plentiful on the islands, supplying many unique faces.

Roku has a great voice search which works across all of the installed apps. I can just ask it for a movie, and it tells me which services have it.

If Russia stops fighting, the war ends. If Ukraine stops fighting, Ukraine ends. And Russia is more likely to try again in another neighbor. Like they have multiple times already.

The US allows deductions, which can come from a large number of sources. Some examples include interest paid on the mortgage of your primary residence, certain health care costs, or charitable giving. Since your job doesn't know about those, they can't make that calculation in your payroll withholding.

Depends on how far up fast you go. Reaching space doesn't mean you can stay there. You need orbital velocity.

Until we got a worldwide grid and cheap superconductor distribution, there will be gaps in coverage if you rely on just solar and wind. Of course there are many times when we have too much supply, but it's not all the time.

An EIR covers the effects to the human environment as well as the wild. So the effect to land value and perceived fear of the neighbors are part of that, regardless of any actual risk.

I saw one article which said a company spent $500 million just on the design and bureaucracy to file an application. Before a single shovel of dirt was moved.

Or lost when your phone has GPS even without cell service.

No, I'm saying the opposition to nuclear plants is uniquely strident. It's almost easier to get a new coal plant built. And it shouldn't be.

At least part of the billion dollar cost is the endless court fights and environmental impact reports before you can even break ground.
