Oh, good. I was asking because otherwise it's the sort of thing that they'd try to shut down the first time it was misused.

I mean, that's a kind of stereotypical view of China's history. There absolutely was just as much dysfunction and disunity over there as in Europe. Feudal societies gonna feudal.
If you read the article, it's has more to do with Chinese people not understanding US politics for obvious reasons, and the Chinese government being somewhat okay with errors that make the US look bad.
I am beyond tired of this thoughtless take. “You can’t murder me, that’s illegal!” “You can’t harass me for being homosexual, that’s illegal!” “You can’t slam me into the ground and arrest me for nothing, that’s illegal!” Just. Fucking. Watch them. It was illegal the first time they did it too.
My #1 issue with the Democrats. I'm not sure how they talk about unprecedented times so much without actually acting on it.
It's a bit oversimplified, actually. Sound bounces off of discontinuities in the medium, which is why foam works. You just have to control the scattering somehow.
The big problem with using oobleck or whatever is it responds to shear, and shear can't travel through air. You could use it for earthquake protection, though, or if you could channel compressive waves from the air into shear form using a fancy bridge like in OP.
Also, shear-thinning fluid is a thing too.
Probably bad. There's no reports I've heard the guy isn't good at his job. It seems to be a political decision, maybe partly motivated by unrealistic ideas Zelensky has about where the conflict is now, which he's publicly contradicted.
Good, although I'd like to register my protest that this guy is relevant once again.
Entrepreneurial ones, I guess. They hear about a magic bottomless phone line and see an arbitrage opportunity.
If it's magically free, is it also magically permanent?
An audio-based SSH client, maybe. It could be used for good or evil, but at this point any open SSH connection is regularly targeted anyway. It'd be really neat to be able to do whatever computer task over an old landline or one of the remaining payphones.
I thought that was what's being implied.
Let's be real, both sides do. One just does it in English.
More like "someone small said something mean about China, now China wants to fuck shit up". This doesn't hurt China much, and isn't even legally binding by the sound of it. They just take 0 shit from anyone they regard as a 2-bit player.
Another example: They've pretty much fed their friends in Myanmar to pro-democracy rebels over some local organised crime thing on the border.
You do know Hamas (and most other similar organisations) claims the Holocaust never happened, right? They're not above spreading lies they find convenient. As often happens in geopolitics, everyone sucks.
I don't know, maybe you think Palestine has had such a rough time they're justified, and they have had a very rough time, but it's still lies.
