The least we could do after fucking things up so badly in the region is assist our allies in the region to safety. If you don't see the difference between starting an endless war and stopping it while keeping our allies safe, I don't know what to tell you.
I do see the difference between the two things, you just clearly have more trust in the military than I do.
Why would you expect our attempt to unfuck things (assist our allies in the region) to go any better than our initial push? What makes you think that wouldn't just fuck up things worse than they already are?
> Why on earth isn't our military engaging on these missions officially?
Likely because Biden doesn’t have the cajones to approve something like this in an official capacity because he’s too scared of the fallout if it goes south.
I would have advised the same thing. And advised prosecuting everybody involved in the torture regime, including those who also ended up involved in this attack.
The publisher continues to deny but it’s an open secret by now that she’s Anita Raja. The only question is the degree of involvement from her husband Domenico Starnone (also a writer), since his style is very close to her style; but Raja has also been a long-time editor for Starnone, so the overlapping might be entirely organic.
The DE10-Nano itself is a bit large for a handheld device, and hasn't been optimized for power consumption. (It's designed as a development board, not as a component of a finished product.) There's nothing stopping someone from using the Cyclone-V SoC in a handheld device, though.
I’d reckon it’s the same reason that there isn’t much of a custom laptop scene. The open ended nature of stuffing a screen, battery, and input peripherals into a chassis seems an order of magnitude more difficult than just making a headless box to plug into your TV.
I think it is because the motivations for retro console FPGA simulations are to play competitive action games sit down with highly accurate timings. “There is a 5 frames window after this triple input sequence” thing. Pocket gaming happens at much relaxed timings so less demands exist for low latency cycle accurate simulations.
The limited market is problably covered with Odroid Go / GPD XD / RG350M etc. Mister leverages an off the shelf FPGA board that would require a lot more work in a handheld form.
It was being worked on at one point. I forget who was doing it. They showed off mockups on smoke monsters streams, but I havent seen much of it in over a year.
This has been a topic of intensive research for several decades [0]. In a nutshell, people have looked, repeatedly, and have failed to find very much.
There are two main stem cell populations in the brain, which produce new neurons in two discrete regions. One stem cell population is adjacent to the substantia nigra, but produces neurons which migrate to an entirely different region of the brain (involving a "cell highway" known as the rostral migratory stream). There are experimental ways to "misdirect" these new neurons towards the substantia nigra, but there have been no durable experimental or clinical successes. Furthermore, it is relatively straightforward to look for neural stem cells in brain tissue, and to my knowledge, none have been found in the substantia nigra per se.
In spite of the efforts, it is true that finding new neurons in the brain is very challenging, if for no other reason than that there are very few of them. One fascinating study from a few years ago actually used the elevated levels of atmospheric carbon-14 during the Cold War as a label with which to identify new neurons from the second stem cell population [1]. It's now considered that they greatly overestimated the number of new neurons, but it is still a seminal paper in the field.

However, the migration can be demand driven, in response to disease conditions.
That's a pretty good article. A quote from it: "So I think when we talked about the "fifth filter" we should have brought in all this stuff -- the way artificial fears are created with a dual purpose... partly to get rid of people you don't like but partly to frighten the rest. Because if people are frightened, they will accept authority."
I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. Guaidó is supported by both major political parties in the US but is not recognized as president of Venezuela by any members of the EU. The US has an abysmal track record of meddling in Latin American elections - who should we look to here?
Erm, where are you getting this information? Most countries, if they've expressed a view on the issue, support Guaido, including essentially the entire EU:
Though I can't say no member states recognize him, the sources on Wikipedia are largely tweets and I'm not sure how up to date they are, the EU as a whole has retracted their support for him as interim president.
The difference is that further elections & governmental procedure occurred in Venezuela and the EU is simply updating their recognition in light of that. They aren't timidly walking back their earlier recognition as if they were caught supporting the wrong guy.
I'd bet they post the first high-res pictures once they arrive. The link from Mars to earth is sending a lot of information about what just happened, so understandably bandwidth is pretty saturated
Probably around 20-30 minutes after it's landed. Perseverance needs to lock onto sattelites that are part of the Deep Space Network for the bandwidth required to send media. It also takes 22 minutes to send a command and get a response back.
It was already communicating with DSN the whole way down, via one of the orbiters, and "send a pic" was apparently a pre-programmed command not requiring Earth initiation.
Probably routed through the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, Maven and possibly Europe's Mars Express satellites, rather than a direct connection to the Deep Space Network
If I understood the livestream correctly, it's because they were able to (maintain|quickly establish) lock to the MRO after touch-down and zip a couple of images up through the "bent-pipe" UHF-to-high-power relay into the Deep Space Network.
