Many dictatorships actually do. The question is more like "is it a process that only exists on paper?". If an election ends with a 98% approval of the supreme leader (or whatever t…

Maybe a sufficiently crafty vendor of MITM equipment could prevent MITM site certificates that are signed by evil intermediate CAs from appearing in CT logs by filtering access to …

Another small correction: In order to MITM https, you need access to either a trusted root certificate and key, or a key & certificate with the CA bit set, signed by a valid root C…

You are both right and wrong, because you (and I) are not clearly distinguishing between different kinds of efficiency and effectiveness. Liquid cooling is, without question, more …

Not good. As you can see, even the upper side connections are submerged, and plugs still look like standard components. Nothing to say of the backplane connectors on the lower side…

Because the temperature spread a given heat pump uses isn't really suitable for district heating, your output water would only be in the 50 to 60°C range at most, too low for typic…

Yes, heat reuse is easier with water cooling since the losses are smaller, but even air cooling will produce warm water in the end. There will be coming regulations requiring a cer…

Since it is about public institutions, any public servant disobeying will be disciplined. That can include strongly worded letters, demotions or even firing. For public institution…

This pops up every few years. I can remember building a liquid cooled LAN-party rig at some point. But imho especially immersion cooling is a dead end. Contact problems with cablin…

If you would detonate the moon, break it up into small pieces and smear them out over its orbit, tidal friction would cease. Tidal friction is a major component of the earth's rota…

Basically, things like the weather can influence the speed of rotation. Angular momentum changes when mass is closer to the center of gravity or farther out. That measurably includ…

Very much so. Look at astronomical software, e.g. xephem. There will be a "clocks" tab that displays a number of different clocks, TAI (atomic clock, no leap seconds), UTC (global …
