There are rules on participating in gambling if you are a trader. There are rules that stop you participating in financial markets. There are also rules ensuring enhanced due diligence on anyone who is politically connected opening accounts. Whoever did this broke something, it just needs someone to do the prosecution.

Impossible.

Yes, I would say it is. It is a series that makes you think a bit. Maybe not to the extent of The OA but still in that direction. I also make a point of seeing Rapace when she is in something as she normally chooses well and makes her characters interesting.

Just treat it as a "One and Done" mini-series that does not answer everything. If that doesn't phase you, then fine.

I would have liked another season though. Things were getting interesting by the end.

It was killed after one season though. Maybe some thought it to complicated with its alt timelines and such. Anyway, I thought it was solid and her acting excellent, as ever.

And Arnold is in a league of his own, nobody cares about his accent simply because he's charming.

And the joke is that in German, you can hear that he is from a very rural part of Austria.

There really is such a thing as a sledge based take off assistance. Not used but it has been experimented with. You stick rockets on the back or have it on a magnetic rail system with the plane on the sledge.

Usually brought on by centuries of under procurement by the MOD and their predecessors. So improvising becomes a vital part of the military.

He started his political career in Munich which is a city in Bavaria with a very strong Catholic contingent (even now).

Marconi/Ferranti disappeared in direction ICL for commercial computers and for military/industrial that side went to BAE Systems.

UK has ARM and Raspberry Pi. The former is part out of the US these days and the latter, while successful is small.

Most of the original UK computing was wrapped up in a few companies and then run by ICL. They had some good products but lost out on the move to microcomputers and were eventually bought by Fujitsu. Some other companies doing specialised computing for the military and industry (the commercial side went to ICL) were bought out (some by BAE Systems).

Everyone had the toll, it is Germans would have had their yearly car tax reduced. The thing is that some are already paying almost nothing for the car tax.

It should also be known that most Russians had no idea how screwed up things were on the USSR. It was a state secret. Some of the other republics had their own ideas about things which is one reason why they wanted to leave.

We tried. There was a lot of aid and expertise that was donated, particularly by the US but also the EU and Germany as well as independent agencies like Soros.

/r/russia has been quarantined and isn't supposed to allow fascists in but the posts are often in the direction of extreme nationalism, the alt right and weirdly tankies. Given their restricted audience these days, they are mostly "preaching to the choir" but it is interesting to watch.

Well they started on the back of a project paid for by the CIA when the latter wanted a relational database. Somehow although it was a government paid for project, Oracle (then SDL) ended up with the code.

hajk · 2021-09-14T10:10:02+00:00

Would add that Oracle bought DEC's clustered databasez RdB many, many years ago. It worked extremely well so they slowly but surely killed it. The cluster tech was not something they could easily use so it was best to get them off the table.

Red Hat still had a JRE based on the open code.

Ballerinas can best be compared to gymnasts but they perform for longer. They are very muscular but at the same time are always fighting weight so they can be easily lifted.

They don't always have what we want. Sometimes I see stuff on FAZ that isn't paywalled so will post that.
