Sure, but is that adequate? Not having people practice their passwords seems to be an anti-pattern for selling premium support in password managers, while many other apps ask with planned frequency.
Makes it clearer that this is a proxy war of Russia via Iran. I'm not sure Russia or Hamas have thought this through since they both just threw out a lot of relationships for something on the bottom of the other shoe.
Iran is a terrorist state that can act on its own…do we have to blame Russia for everything? They can barely keep together in Ukraine, talk less of entering another war with a strong US ally.
Russia has been doing the rounds looking for allies, some way to cause a shake up, etc. In a parallel universe, what were the odds that countries like Iran and NK showed higher than normal competency this year?
It certainly aligns with their interests-- this new development will absolutely divert western attention and resources from the defense of Ukraine.
Despite that, my money is on the Saudis stirring shit up again. Financing terrorists to fight against western interests is kinda their thing. Say what you will about Russia, but they clearly fight and die in their own battles.
If the US gets bogged down with a conflict in the Pacific, Ukraine and Israel are going to be in serious trouble...World War 3 will likely ensue.
Hasn’t Russia been doing their damndest to prop up Assad in Syria? Didn’t they use paramilitary extensively, including in the first invasion of Ukraine? Seems like they don’t fight their own battles any more than anyone else afaict.
There's been a lot of propaganda portraying Iran as a nation full of irrational extremists who would rather the world die in nuclear fire than live next to Israel, but that is not based in reality. Israel has nuclear weapons, and is very nervous about having a close neighbor with the same level of power. Iran is understandably nervous about not having nuclear weapons while Israel has them. Proliferation is a bitch.
Of course it doesn't help that Palestinians, the original Muslim inhabitants, are treated as sub-humans by Zionist Jews so there's very bitter hatred between the two groups.
The channels to scan vary with country based on government regulation of frequencies. Normally, a full list of rules is accumulated for each implementation so it could be used globally.
A possibility is that Google thinks they will avoid pointless legal risk by not having support at all for countries they "don't need" or to prevent unauthorized exporters. This would be quite silly because travelers expect to roam with their devices.
Another possibility is that people are using other imported hardware that is not configured to the current country and selecting channels not actually allowed in the country. This is usually only 1 channel in a dozen so seemingly unlikely, though congestion algorithms prefer a channel that no one else is using..
So force them to rename. The article acts as slander against long term Chinese companies that haven't renamed themselves and probably do as much or as little as the fake Western Brands to secure boot.
How is this different than saying every investment is a subsidy? China's future domestic spending capability is obviously expanding as it invests in industrial capability.
Thanks to compounding, if they have consistently spent half as much as "they should" elsewhere for decades, there is some moment where they will reach more absolute domestic spending without ever raising that rate to where it "should" be.
I don't know, if you're interested I'd read more from the guy I pointed out above.
Off the top of my head, I'll say that China is making a trade-off to subsidize manufacturing at the expense of wages. This can take the form of 'malinvestment' or misallocation of capital(see the ghost cities, trains to nowhere, "Belt and Road" malinvestment, etc) which boost manufacturing in the short term while leaving little benefits in the long term. It also leaves China with weak domestic consumption so more of the GDP growth must be derived from manufacturing in order to meet CCP growth targets.
Further, the subsidies come at the expense of efficiency. For instance, China leads the world in cotton subsidies despite having 4x competing countries' costs to grow cotton. These subsidies do not necessarily translate into some future benefit for Chinese citizens.
It seems kind of crazy to me that they've jumped so quickly to full skin layers.
From examples where people heal without scarring like in minor wounds, it always seemed to me like a goo of accepted but useless cells frequently replaced would be sufficient to confuse where scar tissue should form while gradual healing from adjacent skin eventually occurred.
From reading the next sentences, I doubt the officer did anything beyond adjust the direction to keep it more stationary by the oppositional force of their vehicle.
Given adequate highways, rotaries and traffic going faster, one can drive indefinitely without breaking, so while there's always a question of whether a notable incident is a stunt of some sort by someone who actually knew how to stop, etc, I don't see anything unlikely about the outcome.
I remember a few years ago there were run away semi-autonomous cars like this. But in almost every case, it turned out the user was holding the gas thinking it was the brake, a floor mat holding a pedal down, or there was a lack of data pointing to a car fault. So I would definitely take this with a grain of salt.
It was pretty trendy to report on these incidents at the time.
That said, if the article is to be believed, throwing the keys out the window and hitting the power button not working is a bit crazy. So is only having a "fly by wire" brake system.
And if an engineer did a black box dump and it reported tons of faults, it very well could be an error in the car.
Either way, I'm glad I own a car where my pedal is connected to the actual brakes, with or without power.
