Destroying a nuclear sub, or a nuclear weapon, doesn't lead to a nuclear explosion. It takes considerable care to cause a nuclear explosion, and smashing a reactor or warhead just leaves you with a pile of radioactive scrap.

Not saying that isn't a problem, but it's way less of a problem than a nuclear explosion

It's amazing that people seem to be taking this comment literally

The article is being pretty hyperbolic. There's no mystery here, this is just something which happens if you put two different metals together. It's nothing more or less than a crude battery, just like the ancestors of the AA battery the article kept harping on about.

This discovery could be important for people studying the climate on very early Earth, people studying early life, and the ecology of the deep sea today.

That last one is particularly troubling, though. If this is widespread, then this might be a major source of what little oxygen is down there. If so, then taking those nodules away (like a lot of people are keen to do, since some of the metals they're made of are valuable) could destroy an entire ecosystem.

More research is required

No. The ruling seems to have said that he can do anything he likes in his capacity as president, and he can't be convicted of any criminal offence for it. It didn't say that the people around him would have to go along with it, or that they'd be immune from prosecution.

It also left convenient wriggle room for the court to arbitrarily decide what constituted "official" actions, rather than him doing something privately, so they've effectively granted themselves a get out of jail free card to decide case-by-case in the future

"dissolving parliament" means they've announced a general election. Parliament won't meet any more, and all the existing members of parliament will go home and begin campaigning

He's the foreign secretary. I'm pretty sure that makes him the person who's permission they'd need, unless the prime minister immediately overrules him

Just one padlock is enough, but you can use up to 6.

You need all the locks removed before it'll open, so you don't need to count on someone to carefully count everyone back in. You just make sure that each person uses their own lock

I find it makes my life easier, personally, because I can set up and tear down environments I'm playing with easily.

As for your user & permissions concern, are you aware that docker these days can be configured to map "root" in the container to a different user? Personally I prefer to use podman though, which doesn't have that problem to begin with

The satellite uplinks these devices use is very bandwidth limited, and quite expensive. I can assure you that it's not routinely sending anything without telling you.

They started launching in 2019, according to a quick look at Wikipedia. They told the general public (and regulatory agencies, I think) that the lifetime of the satellites was on the order of 5 years. The plan was to replace them frequently enough to maintain the constellation with that kind of service life (i.e. to launch the whole constellation worth of satellites every 5 years)

Now, here we are 4 years later. It's not terribly surprising if some of the early satellites are starting to reach the end of their lives.

It's going to be very expensive for them, but not an unexpected cost. This is the reason they're so keen to start launching them on Starship

Is that an actual legal right? If you've described it accurately, then Facebook and Instagram would be completely illegal

Personally, I'm alarmed that a bear only merits closing half. Did the guests in the other half do something to make themselves unpopular?
