  • Yes, it is still a quartz watch. The oscillator is still a quartz oscillator. However the mechanism which advances the second hand is replaced with onethat does not need to tick.

    The kind of quartz watch is no longer a ticking quartz watch, it is a non-ticking quartz watch.

    As for the specific wording of the article, I would assume the authoris not fully versed in partsof quartz watches, and does not know that the oscillator which keeps time is different from the stepping motor which moves the hands.

    This invention targets only replacing the stepping motor, not the oscillator.

  • Lenin ordered the Red Terror. The main difference between him and Stalin when it comes to willingness to use state violence was the size of the state. His solution to political decent was mass executions. While it was announced as a class war on the bourgeoisie, it began with a massacreof sociallists. In addition to kulaks and white army afficers, it targeted the former bolshenik allies Left Socialists, anarchists, and striking workers. The Red Terror featured the creation of the gulags and concentration camps, hostage taking, and torture.

  • exactly this. If I need to do development, i'll use a jetbrains product. If i'm in a pure text editing situation, I want the most powerful thing for manipulating text, and I want it to be available.

  • 'legitimate government' isn't really a thing. Many recognized countries are ruled by hereditary governments, or by autocrats who gained power in a coup. The legitimacy of such governments, andthe nationhood of the states, is recognized by other countries based on the foreign policy (mostly self interest) of those other countries. So, if you want to guess who would recognize a Gaza nation with Hamas as the ruling clique, ask yourself what governments would benifit from doing that.

  • Theres a lot of people that pretend the opposite, as well. We are all biased towards the thing we like. Its obvious cities are popular, because they are expensive. Its also obvious suburbs are popular, because they alsoare axpensive.

    What people mostly wish is that more city could be built, becausethe demand forcity living is still highar than that for suburbs.

  • Geology. I found a professor on youtube (Nick Zentner) who puts up lecture series and seminars. There are so many mysteries and amazing things to learn.

    I just moved and won't have home internet until tuesday, so I downloaded his entire geology 101 to watch while unpacking.
