Yea. He's also the inventor of JavaScript. In 2014, he resigned soon after being appointed Mozilla CEO. This was after some Mozilla employees protested his 2008 donation of $1,000 to support California's Proposition 8, which opposed legalisation of same-sex marriage.
Japanese solution -- I saw a YouTube video on how the Japanese addressed this by elongating the nose of the Shinkansen. That design was inspired by the kingfisher bird diving in water. The length of the nose helps to gradually displace the air as it enters the tunnel, reducing the strength of the pressure wave.
Also, perhaps fans could be a solution. Powerful blowers that push air out one end of the tunnel, just as the train enters in at the other end, then taper to zero as the train exits
Thank you..
This post is worthy of a slashdot story, all by itself.
Here's one: a 7 year old required open heart surgery as a result of a falling drone. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theguardian.com%2Fus... to WESH 2 News,open-heart surgery on Sunday.
As long the settlement is near the lunar poles, maybe panels on 10m poles could do the trick?
Every year, a location near the Shackleton crater rim in the south polar region is sunlit continuously for 240 days, and its longest continuous period in total darkness is about 1.5 days. For some locations small height gains (10 m) can dramatically improve their average illumination and reduce the night duration, rendering some of those particularly attractive energy-wise as possible sites for near-continuous sources of solar power.

There are exceptions to the 14 day night rule - consider the lunar poles

This war is not going well for either Russia (122K+ confirmed deaths; Mediazona) or Ukraine (77K+; ualosses.org). Many soldiers no longer want to fight. What is glorious about forcing more men to early deaths?
What's important is an immediate ceasefire and a process for both sides to punish war crimes committed.
I am heartened to see Trump pressuring the Russians into ceasefire... that instinct of his is correct.
But he's famously unreliable with numbers... I wouldn't grasp at that particular straw as a continue the war.
Both sides need to reach 0:0 ASAP.
Russia officially wants 20%. Stick to the current facts.
Ukraine could have got away with a much smaller percentage at Istanbul. But they took your advice. A half million casualties later, they have wisened up.
20%.
If thugs took 17% of my home, battered my family to a pulp, but my friends just kept mailing Amazon packages to me instead of showing up, i would appease the thugs with 20% of my home. So my family could live and have a roof over our heads.
So the answer is 20%.
But sssh... don't tell the thugs..
> Why aren't you calling for Russia to give up more land?
I would, if it would help the cause of peace. But it won't. So I won't. Instead, the most we can do is ask Russia to accept the land it has taken so far, plus some minor concessions (like Pokrovsk) and freeze the conflcit.
> How quickly you changed you mind.
My position has been consistent. I have lived in a land of a frozen conflict.
When this war started, you were enraged (justifiably) at your sense of justice being trampled upon. But I get the sense you are also speaking from ego now - your predictions and exhortations have been proven wrong by reality, and you don't like it.
> Don't Russian lives matter?
Don't all lives matter?
In a war with a million casualties, the easiest thing for foreigners to do is exhort one side or the other to keep spilling their guts. Both sides have millions of families with a serious loss -- there is enough anger to continue.
The harder, but more correct option, is to push for a peace that stops loss of live,and protects both parties from further losses. The most likely option for this is (a) asking Russia to accept the land it has taken so far, (b) some minor concessions from Ukraine (like Pokrovsk) and (c) freeze the conflcit.
Guts and glory stories are easy to recount when the spilt guts are not yours.
Remember, you or I could be born a desperate Russian or Ukrainian draftee. If you want to help, push for peace.
So the US banned chips - didn't work
So the US banned litho equipment - didn't work.
The last thing the US can ban is export of the tools that make litho equipment.
What tool would that be?
Money!!! Start making your own stuff folks. Don't be lazy. Do the hard thing.
There is no distinction between goods and services. It's all services. Services to cut your hair and file your tax. Services to make you coffee. Services to make you devices.
Sigh, it's WW2 all over again, and everyone's a Churchill. The British could fight WW2 because they had an empire backing them. The US could fight because, well, they had the most resources of any nation - they could do whatever they wanted.The Soviets resisted fiercely because they had strategic depth, they had resources, they had allies, and because the Nazis wanted to exterminate "subhumans" Slavs to create "living space" in the East. But the Ukraine war is not yet war of racial extermination - not even with evil savagery like with POWs and Bucha.
What does Putin want - really want? We can only suspect. We have is some vague brotherly platitudes about brotherly unity. His only formal and clearly stated territorial objectives are about 4 oblasts plus Crimea. That lines up with his actual ability - what he can get is about the same as what he wants. This is proven by his occupying most of the 4 oblasts, and Crimea. He does not have the power to occupy all of Ukraine. Not yet.
But the longer this war goes, the more militarily powerful Russia gets. The more militarised their society gets and the more skillful their army becomes. The more arms flows to North Korea and Iran.
I don't want Medvedev or Kadyrov perched on the Russian nuclear button, ready to press it for religious or moral offenses. I don't want Iran with Su-57s, Houthis with Shaheds, and North Korea with Oreshniks. This is what we will get if the war continues for years. That is another reason why the war must stop sooner - not later.
But the main reason to ceasefire now is people are being killed. Most of these people do not want to fight a war (and prove it by evading draft - on both sides)
From your previous post:
> Ukraine is only getting stronger and Russia weaker. Russia's best and only chance was long long ago. It failed. Time to throw in the towel
Haven't you tired of saying this statement by now? Don't you realise that it is evidently false? For faith to work, it must be undergirded by truth
I lived in a country where part of the country was under occupation. It is a frozen conflict . People grow up and move on. No one, except for troublemakers, wants to restart the war to resolve the issue.
> Were you also calling for Russia to surrender to the Nazis?
No, I was not alive then. I also have no views on the Cathargian-Roman war.
> So why do you expect Ukraine to surrender this time? Russia has already shown it can't win
Compassion - surrender a sliver of territory to get to ceasefire, stop the slaughter and avoid losing even more.
Tell me, if your friend was getting thrashed in a bar fight against a bear of a man, AND you were too scared to pitch in, how would you behave? Would you encourage him to continue fighting, risking his life? Or try to pull the parties apart and stop the fight?
