I know Lemmy isn’t normally the best place to search for this, but are there any high-quality right-wing explainers, or modern books, or media outlets?...
The more you think about it, the better/worse it gets.
They couldn’t fly from Japan to Hawaii even using the more reasonable route. They were brought nearer using aircraft carriers.
The Doolittle Raid launched longer-range bombers from US carriers to hit Japan and they were lightened up to the max (dumped their guns and anything else non-essential) and planned from the get-go to ditch over China because flying back would be impossible.
Being able to fly a bomber halfway across the World was beyond WW2 tech.
A meter is defined as a thing but the distance traveled by light in 1/299792458 of a second may not be the most evocative reference for the common person.
People are quoting sci-fi examples but they have been tried (and many failed) in the past. They are cities built, owned and operated by a corporation like Ford with Fordlandia in Brazil. Rent? Shops? All company-run.
Technically Disney has their own special district in Florida and have a lot of Government-like powers over it.
Below is a look at the most exasperating news from streaming services from this week. The scale of this article demonstrates how fast and frequently disappointing streaming news arises. Coincidentally, as we wrote this article, another price hike was announced....
Competition caught up with Tesla’s lead while Elon was too busy with his many side projects while somehow also micro-managing the company to death (e.g. Cybertruck).
He should have focused on scaling up manufacturing and driving the price per car down. But no, he had to chase the self-driving pipedream, launch a ridiculous pickup truck, and wreck the “genius” person he had built to replace with an alt-right one.
That’s one polyvalent god: agriculture, spring, metallurgy and war to name a few. In the context of skin wearing, the god of war role might be more relevant.
Rogue One was meh except for the visuals. The train heist has the most beautiful explosion VFX in s very long time.
Story wise it was meh but it paved the way for Andor which better committed to the WW2 action/spy thriller angle without the Star Wars prequel bagage dragging it down. Yes it’s a prequel itself but it won’t need to connect to space wizards which tend to bog down a lot of the Star Wars offshoots.
For the WW2 spy thing, I guess it’s because I’m very fond of WW2 spy movies based on real events. There are quite a few European movies portraying events and operations done by their local partisans during WW2 and I feel Andor takes some inspiration in those.
Yes it’s complicated and all a question of point of view calling someone a spy, partisan, terrorist, freedom fighter.
But in the end it’s spycraft involving locals vs. some powerful oppressive State. Often involving another sympathic State supporting the partisans using straight-up spies.
Fingerprint ID does not work with hashes, you need images. I’ve worked with NGOs and integrated biometric identification systems.
I haven’t had to pull the iris data out but I’m certain they where also stored as bitmap images. In any case, the iris scanners most certainly sent images to us and not hashes. Why send an image if all you need is a hash?
In any case nobody outside can tell what some crypto scam is doing with those scans and I sure wouldn’t trust them.
Why does the government of the USA stand by the country of Israel?
That’s the question.
