They seem to be following the KISS principle, so it means that it is at least feasible. Nuclear tipped cruise missiles from the US have a variety of (expensive) navigation systems, so they aren't dependent on GPS. I wonder what the Ukrainians will do?

It seems to be a rich person's hobby. In the US. at least, that means more likely a white male with access. Others do it too, but immigrants are low down on the list of probable offenders.

The current line heard from the Israeli right (who hold the government) is that the problems started with the October massacre inflicted by the Palestinians on the Israelis. This forgets the persecutions, the border problems, the settlers and so on.

Technically, an exchange can do 24x7 with few problems, but exchanges do not work alone as they have dependencies. Having a daily cycle allows other systems such as settlement and clearing to be kept aligned, as well as the market participant's own systems.

We have many datacentres in Frankfurt due to the presence of a major internet interconnection point. They are required now to provide hot water for district heating. So build them in cold places.

...wages had to be paid in roubles so imported sales plummeted. People started to buy local, small companies started locally to replace simpler imported goods. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. Perhaps Trump wants to do the same thing? Make imports expensive compared to local?

He had been given a work phone. No personal devices allowed there. Still, I agree that their security must suck if they allow downloads to and from the work device by an intern.

Most companies I have been to don't allow any person to connect a phone to a workstation for anything other than charging. If you have a work phone, they won't allow it to be connected to anything else. This guy was only an intern. This is very sloppy.

Note that if those top US officials did not have their diplomatic passports, their phones would have been subject to search by incoming customs.

So they will build a pipeline all the way to the US? You do need the agreement at least for wherever you are going to land that gas and the existing delivery point is in Germany. Why not invite Germany to the party?

Sure, they can make some money but running the civil service on empty is not the British way. What is important is that it persists across governments, has flexibility and that it shouldn't depend too much on external consultancies. I'm sure there are inefficiencies but shouldn't they be retrained?

The biggest complaint I heard from historians is that they compressed the timeline for dramatic purposes but otherwise it is pretty good.

Also what should be considered is the source of the provided arms. A very large part of what the EU gave was made in the US.

Elon wanted a publicity stunt and interfered with the rescue. Maybe he wanted an excuse for time with the ladyboys? Unsworth could have done cave diving in the UK, but it is cheaper in Thailand and he's married to a Thai woman.

As Elon suggested, he should write down five things you did last week? Methinks that he is a bit too distracted and should stand back from his myriad businesses. Or perhaps we can suggest he gets a Neuralink chip fitted to help him keep track?

The King should ask Trump as he feels the US needs a close relationship with Canada whether he wants to be part of it and the King should take over as head of state?

Which one was working for Tesla whose stock price is plummeting? On this basis, perhaps Tesla needs a new CEO?
