You either spend a truckload of resources during decades to make a bomb that explodes releasing the same energy humanity spends in two months, or you spend a truckload of resources doing the end task at a slower pace for decades.

The later is guaranteed to require a smaller truckload.

"Nuclear explosions are inherently unsafe"

Well, he warns about it.

Keep in mind that Greenland and Canada are both members of NATO, and thus the US would be forced to intervene...

Oh, well...

You mean seriously? Who knows? Both sides have nuclear weapons, don't they? This is not something that ever happened. Would the US armed forces go along with the plan or will there be a coup? Will everybody keep their heads leveled and avoid exchange nuclear explosions even with people dying at home / on the front? Will somebody just put a bullet on Trump's head and stop the madness?

But the thing I can tell is that if you are expecting country lines and military treaties to be immutable, that's not how they work.

Well, I'm sure controlled slow-paced mining is more energy efficient and will emit less carbon to create...

But I'm not stopping that guy. Go on. I'll just watch from a safe distance.

Hum... Did they change the name of the North-America's South-West like the Mexico president requested too?

They have clear rules for contested areas... that they follow in an as clear way as their user support rules.

Well, if you find it, please tell :)

It's a clear Microsoft paradox: is the support person right, or did Teams do something reasonable?

Yes, assholes are common in lots of places.

You know, last time I've reached the MS forum, there was a support person there answering "No, there's no way to disable the Teams pop-up that appears over your shared screen when you mute the microphone. Lots of people ask the same question, and the developers have no plans of changing this".

The answer was complete, helpful, and completely out of the normal for the forum. The only thing more out of character would be if Teams actually had an option to make it work as any sane person would expect, but then, this is not on the forum people.

When every market is a monopoly or a well consolidated oligopoly, you start to get that kind of issue.

Governments are the ones that actively created that one monopoly, if they just stopped maintaining it, it would simply disappear.

You do one of those to maintain you society civilized, and the other to make your society civilized.

Wow, that shit is expensive!

Except if you are a farmer, or accused of some crime, or depended on honest work to survive...

Or, in other words, yes, exactly!

By "improved" you mean in efficiency?

Because only stupid people go improving efficiency above all else in any system. Even in simple for profit corporations.

That's why we don't call them "programming language" even though they are the same kind of thing.

Oh, so that's its supervillain moto!

Oh, IT adjacent areas are still full of math.

If you ever get curious, electrical engineering has lots and lots of convoluted procedures one can learn to avoid even more math... And civil engineering has a very cool "I can beat math with brute force and linear approximations all day long!" philosophy that could improve the lives of most people.

On the legal, metrological, or morphological sense?

Oh, another engineer...
