MMIO is slow. To me the IOMMU is as important as the MMU was in the past to ensure system stability and security. You certainly do not want a malicious or buggy piece of hardware writing crap all over the rest of your system any more than you would want someone's program to do the same in a system without memory protection.
This will never happen to the same degree in the US even in a worse case scenario. The Soviet Union had a diverse mix of ethnicity, language, etc which does not exist to the same degree in the US. There are a lot of of different peoples residing in the US but they usually speak English at least. The US had a civil war once and it was fueled by matters of policy and economics more than anything.
US feeds its dwindling resources into its military
They have been doing that since WWII. Unlike after WWI the US did not mothball its military. Part of the reason was new missions like strategic bombing and ICBMs. Another reason was the Korean War and the Cold War in general.
Chinese corporations are buying up natural resource producing real estate around the globe like it's a game of Monopoly without fueling massive navies, corps of marines, or strategic air commands
The Chinese are working on that front as well. They are putting a lot of ships in the water and are starting to build their own carriers. They have marines too. Their forces are dimensioned for an invasion of Taiwan however. For anyone to think that Eurasian powers like Russia or China would invade US home territory is ludicrous however. How do you move a 1 million man army across the Pacific? Its bonkers. Then there is the whole aspect of an insurgency happening in a country with over 300 million people. China couldn't even invade Vietnam properly in 1979. The US has no natural enemies on its own continent. The possibility of the US being successfully invaded is next to nil.
Oslo is in the south of Norway. You know why they put the capital in the south of Norway? Because it isn't as cold and because it isn't in the arctic circle.
Dude. Its irrelevant. We perfectly know in here that if its 40C you are either in a desert or will be turning into a marshmallow soon. Conversely 10C is where things start to become unbearably cold. 0C is when it freezes and snow starts to fall. Also if you are cooking it is more important to know which phase of water you are in than the relation of the temperature to your body temperature. The human body has 60% water in it. So yes the water phase is important.
I don't know what is your criteria for being a superpower. What I do know is that the major powers in this world have a seat in the UN Security Council. And most of them don't use metric.
Oh yeah. You know how hard it was to convince the British to adopt the Gregorian Calendar? Anyone who has worked on time measuring systems knows that the British converted from the Julian calendar a LOT later than the rest of Europe. It messes up date conversions quite nicely.
EM fields problem is that Teslas are just too intense for most applications. Its like you made a weight measuring system where the basic unit is 10 tonnes. Gauss are more understandable.
You round it up to the nearest number. Besides there are things like measuring utensils for a kitchen you know? Have you never seen a measuring cup or a kitchen scale?
A lot of people browse the web while they are working. I can understand that there could be a conflict of interest when people are editing topics which are biographies of themselves or their own employers. But as long as they are not deleting facts they don't like and are adding actual information that other people may not have easy access to I do not see how that is a problem.
Actually the government taking more income can result in economic growth in the middle term. In Eisenhower's case he used that income to build the Interstate Highway System. Which eventually made trade cheaper and resulted in increased economic wealth for all in the US. This does not mean it is good for taxes to increase. What it does mean is that infrastructure spending is a good idea.

'OS level security'. Is this the same OS that could be rooted by a malformed image. Yes it is.
So in fact the yield doesn't have to come mostly from fission. Its just usually done that way because its more efficient.
The fact is fusion is 10 times more powerful per unit of weight than fission at delivering explosive power.
most of the yield of a thermonuclear weapon comes from fission, not fusion
Wrong. Go read Wikipedia.
Not to mention Emacs. Which is an entire operating system all by itself.
Yeah. But i386 hardware has more than two rings. The fact that OSes don't use them is what is a problem.

The economy is adjusting to new modes of production and the market was opened up. This will be painful regardless of what comes next.

Dude. If I have a biography which includes the date or birth, family names, and work history do you want anything more factual than that?
This is older than Stalin. Peter the Great built St. Petersburg in the middle of a swamp and made it the capital.
in 50 years we will hear about Russia's summer Olympic games in Arctic pole
Not a problem with a gigantic solar mirror in orbit. Heck I remember them having proposals to do just that back when there was a Soviet Union.
Turkey isn't exactly stable either.
Oslo is in the south of Norway. Ask someone in Tromso how the weather is.

We use liters per 100 km here.
Hah!

They tried a base-10 time measuring system during the French Revolution. You know, back when the French had their own calendar.

Not to mention that Anglo-Saxon cuisine sucks and the rest of the world's cuisine, which is metric, is BETTER.
