    Same. We use both. Slack for chat. Mostly Teams for video.

    I remember the Java updater, which basically anyone using a computer had to occasionally update.

    For me, it's more of a database to keep track of books I want to read in the future . I can't read everything immediately after reading a recommendation or seeing it mentioned some…

    Maybe my queries are not difficult enough. Do you have an example?

    They pack it very tightly in my experience. The packaging (cardboard) wraps very tightly against the books.

    There were so many English speaking students while I was there. I wonder if it's unique to Grenoble.

    What does this have to do with the submission?

    The point of turning off the gas is to demonstrate the point that you can turn it off *or on*. That you have control over it. Whats the point of turning off the gas as leverage if …

    What I mean to say is that it doesn't matter to know who physically performed the actions, only to know who planned and directed it. Just like we might blame bin Laden for 9/11 eve…

    Europe is sanctioning the hell out of Russia, and yet Gazprom would pay huge penalties on violating a contract. If anything this story shows why it's unlikely they blew up the pipe…

    Any serious opposition to Putin is actually more hawkish than he is. Not quite something that is covered often in our press. There is no neo Yeltsin lurking in the shadows.

    Prevent negotiations between Russia and Germany particularly. Then sell exorbitantly priced US LNG to a captive Europe. All of which is basically happening now.

    Pressure the market in what way that isn't accomplished by just turning the pipeline off without blowing it up? And pressure Germany into what exactly? Think this one through. How …

    I think it's unreasonable to believe that you could intentionally half-way blow up a pipeline. And the only reasonable conclusion here is that the intention was to blow all of it u…

    Ukrainians may have been involved, but the US would have been the necessary component, and the UK additionally would have been sufficient.

    You don't think that the US and UK can jointly plan to do something without holding hands? It doesn't really matter who actually physically did it. What's important is who intended…

    It was the threat that it would be turned back on that is the reason that rules in US as a culprit. It was already not being used! Russia would blow it up to get out of some contra…

    Maybe you just weren't paying attention as much. They did talk extensively about it.

    This has nothing to do with what they said. Completely irrelevant to the question at hand.

    Not really the point of the comment above whether Musk has done some good things or not. Specifically, he has literally lied about what Tesla is able to do. That's why his number w…

    I think a lot of those decisions were made to maximize easing existing JS code into typescript. And it probably helped with adoption. Who knows if or how much it would have struggl…

    Your second point is such a lost gem of history. I still remember it well and remember how upset it made me. But it seems the world has forgotten, and just assumes that Chrome just…
