I think the question on everyone's mind is probably how to produce a signal from inside the hull of a single-hulled cargo vessel in the North Atlantic that will allow one to relay messages in morse code to the US Navy.

There was a shift in how the word 'hominid' was used around the 1990s, largely due to the introduction of genetic classification if I understand correctly. Hominids (humans and close ancestors) used to be considered distinct from Pongoids, which were basically all other great apes including chimpanzees and bonobos. That taxonomy was retired, and all great apes are now considered hominids.

I don't think that it would be wise for anyone to rely on such practices. Even with the best of intentions, obsolescence and unintentional misdirection are strong possibilities. Considering normative intentions, it is an invitation for "optimization" attempts by websites presenting contested information.

But maybe you guys are 1.25 developers. I mean if most people are staring at their screens and done for the week on Friday and you're still getting things done then in terms of ideals — because okay I know this needs hashing out in practice— I don't think anybody is going to resent you taking home a premium based on what you put in every week.

Honestly if knowledge workers are sort of dialing it in unhappily with minimal productivity after X hours and labor/service/on-call workers can keep plugging away for Y>X hours then there might be some win-win there in terms of quality of life and wage inflation.

The charges will not be like nitroglycerin, but they will be highly explosive and will detonate when sufficiently energized. Under the right circumstances the kinetic energy from a fragment of an interceptor would suffice.

Most modern high explosives won't detonate at all in response to a kinetic insult. They need a detonator, and usually a primer too. Even TNT; you can hit it with a hammer, shoot at it, or try to set it on fire; it won't explode. To set it off, you need a supersonic shockwave.

To my circumstantial understanding, it is plausible that fragments of an interceptor detonated in proximity to the warhead could achieve supersonic velocities capable of delivering the requisite shock, but I lack the knowledge to argue the point.

And it'd still need to detonate the difference sections in exactly the right timing to get a successful nuclear explosion.

I think that you deserved a bit of pushback on how you phrased that, but that nothing that you said beyond describing it as 'gatekeeping' was objectionable or even wrong, and that the rest of us should ease up, having seen that the job's been done.

You are completely right, and I appreciate how you didn't let a single poor word choice dominate your entire judgement of my post. You also delivered a novel thought based on the entirety of responses, rather than impulse writing out of emotion. Respect.

I have no comment of actual value to contribute but I note that by the standards of the field we can infer the existence of the Schxorr algorithm.

When you ask someone a question, their answer isn't a rebuttal and you don't give them hints, come on. Really needlessly obnoxious. He replied to you in good faith.
