The Chinese government is paying huge incentives for every car sold. This is their way of gaming the system to subsidize their industry and undercut non-Chinese auto makers.

If they moved the nuclear enrichment, that would have destroyed the process too. No way to keep the centrifuges spinning at a constant rate while moving them.

Anyone see Chucky?

If that’s your metric, then I think Israel meets it. Iran has sponsored and directed non-state actors in Israel. These include both Hamas and Hezbollah. Additionally, Houthi militants have targeted Israeli civilian shipping.

An official declaration of war is not required. These nuclear scientists are not protected by the Geneva convention because Iranian nuclear infrastructure, including persons, are military targets. The purpose is to destroy Iran’s nuclear capacity and that’s a purposeful military objective.

Civilian nuclear scientists working in enrichment are not protected by the Geneva convention. Technically it is legal to kill them when engaged in warfare.

Just to play devils advocate, what circumstances is it legitimate for Israel to attack Iran?

Another line to be written off in bankruptcy?

I’m testing this app now, just between me and my wife before we give it to the kids. Right now we can only send location updates when we open the app. I’ve tried all the typical things (background battery, always on GPS permissions, etc) without luck. Suggestions? Did you get it to work well for you?

Most of the businesses other than gas stations and restaurants are missing or have very outdated information.

Done. What’s next on my list?

Do it anyway. I use adb to modify my phone and make it suck less. I also look forward to the day (if it ever comes) where Linux phones are a viable replacement option.

We have good options to replace Google Search. What good options exist to replace search on Google Maps?

Edit: Also, I think they make most of their money off of ad-sense adds embedded in apps and websites. It’ll be very difficult to weed all those out. I just use uBlock on Firefox and Blockada on Android.

Can someone clarify which blood test was used? I want to get tested every two years.

Presumably it is to discourage Iran from attacking US assets in the region, knowing that the US have weapons that they can use to counter-attack. Any counter-attack needs to be against Israel alone, not the US. That’s what the US wants.

The sale is the entire company and assets to Regeneron Pharmaceuticals.

NPR reported in this issue:

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals said last month it aimed to buy the company for $256 million. Regeneron said it would comply with 23andMe’s privacy policies and applicable law. It said it would process all customer personal data in accordance with the consents, privacy policies and statements, terms of service, and notices currently in effect and have security controls in place designed to protect such data.

I don’t know much about Regeneron Pharmaceuticals but previously I read from others here that they represent the best case scenario.

My payroll company came out with a be version that won’t work in Linux. They wouldn’t accommodate me and I was too deep into their ecosystem to change companies so I ended up having to buy a Windows license so I could run a virtual machine every time I had to do payroll.

Edit: My mistake was getting too dependent on a company that doesn’t care about Linux users.

Not this far from the front lines. This was in the Russian rear.

One of my family members had that job for a good while. What’s interesting is the phone companies did not keep great records of what’s copper and where it is, so a lot of it is likely to remain in place for a long time. Something else he has seen is thieves cutting fiber, thinking it is copper, and causing outages, although that is less frequent than it was years ago.

I seek out out-of-the-way websites maintained by one or two people and then subscribe by RSS. RSS may be the only thing left keeping the web sane.
