While there are a lot of English speakers in India, it is not their native language. News about India will be written for Indians and will tend to use their regional language. Same goes for China and most other countries. Even in the EU where news might be interesting to other EU nations, news is often written in the affected nations language.

It's just smart business to make your content tailored to the target audience.

I've looked it up before in a similar thread.

They dropped in some special units via parachute. I don't think they're vehicles ever made it to Kyiv. The original plan was to just capture Zelenskyy and force him to give Ukraine to Russia. But they held on that first night and successfully blocked the follow up iron driving there.

World News is always bound to be dominated by the news of the spoken language. While English is spoken very broadly, the US is the dominant speaker by population. Most "international" news will be written in the native language of the afflicted area. Since people here want English content, you're going up see mostly English speaking areas. Since the US is the largest, it'll be mostly US news.

If you don't like it, start sourcing interesting English content about non-english locations.

The issue that killed solar roadways (the covered kind, not the stupid ass embedded kind) is that people would inevitably crash into the support beams, leading to collapses. That means the structure would have to be completely over engineered, increasing costs. Plus, the dynamic pressure waves from the passing trucks and cars underneath plus the fact you need to build it tall in order to allow trucks to pass means it needs to be even stronger. Solar over a concrete river is not going to experience these problems and can be minimally constructed as a failure just leads to them falling in the river, not actually harming anyone.

Though Linux the kernel might be stable and considerate, Linux the ecosystem is not.

I fail to see the goal of "finding dissenters". Reddit wants users. They aren't going to ban users for placing pixels. Besides, they already know the worst dissenters because they write fuck spez in their comments.

Probably not. HR would have just pre filtered him anyway.

Windows is also ridiculously good at backwards compatibility. Mac frequently just breaks old software and Linux is largely unconcerned because they assume anyone that cares will find a way. That backwards compatibility is over of the major keys to Windows success with developers.

I would say the expanding foam would still be preferred. Just don't go crazy with it. Then before it's fully cured, cut it back flush. Wait for it to dry then caulk to cover/seal.

It's not that simple. Most hospitals are in mega corps so the assholes can pressure the ones operating in their state to give them open access to the data in other states.
