Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital
rabas replied to Chris.B's topic in The War in Ukraine
The destroyed sub was commissioned in 2014, almost brand new in sub years, and had the latest Russian technology. Russian sub B-237 The Russians can't replace it because Turkey is blockading access of warships to the Black Sea. -
Thai satellite’s stellar journey: THEOS-2 ready to reach for the stars
rabas replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
There are no 15 cm. commercial satellites, 15 cm is a 'derived' resolution a bit like mobile phone fake zoom. The world's best commercial satellite resolution is 30cm from WorldView-3 owned by DIgitalGlobe. Thailand's 50cm resolution will put them in the top 5 or roughly top 1% of optical image sats providing great economic benefit to Thailand. Not bad eh? WorldView-3 would be about $1B in now dollars. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1293723/commercial-satellite-imagery-resolution-worldwide/ https://www.gistda.or.th/news_view.php?n_id=5947&lang=EN -
Lol, fastest way to crash an economy, don't spend money today, wait for free money soon.

Serious problem, several Thai family members have been targeted. It often starts with a call from numbers with +698/+697 prefix. There is no country code +69. To help spot gang calls, NBTC instructed mobile operators to add a +698 prefix on roaming numbers, +697 indicates VOIP overseas calls. They also say don't talk to anyone claiming to be from government, rather request a call back number. I'm cautious about mixing money and anything electronic in Thailand. There is a article 'somewhere'. Google "Avoid calls from numbers with +698/+697"

Two cases of new COVID Omicron sub-variant reported in Thailand
rabas replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
What? Confirmed covid deaths (not total) ran way beyond total global traffic deaths for two years peaking at 14,817 dead per day compared to 3700 daily traffic deaths. Four times! Total estimated Covid deaths (most are not confirmed) is now ~20 million. Spanish Flu is estimated to have killed between 18 and 50 million. https://ourworldindata.org/covid-deaths -
Pheu Thai Popularity Rating Drops To 10%: Sripatum Poll
rabas replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
He never was a friend of Thai democracy or the Thai people. I hope now that folks who did not live through his reign begin to understand his horribly decisive ways. The best thing anyone can do for Thailand is to come together in friendship. A divided population allows unscrupulous leaders to do as they please. -
Doctor Reveals Concerning Symptoms in Thaksin's Condition
rabas replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Thaksin never spent days and nights on an overcrowded floor with little or no medical care. He spent a few hours in a medical ward, alone with a physician giving his a thorough medical exam, and a visit from the Deputy PM. Then off to the Royal Suite room 1401 on the 14th floor of the police hospital with 6 people attending to his every need. They even fixed the aircon, which had not been working well. I'm 100% with you on better care including medical care for those imprisoned in Thailand. -

Justice Ministry Accused Of Granting Undue Privileges To Thaksin
rabas replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
'Why should I believe your opinion about Thaksin over the people who actually benefited from his policies' In other words, why should you want to know the whole story about Mr. Thaksin? Why know the full truth? Mr. Thaksin's story is long. As for the war on drugs, most were gangland style killings, few cases were pursued, and victims included whole families, women, children and old people. Afterwards an independent committee established by the Surayud government concluded that 1,372 of the 2,873 victims had no drug related records. -
Your logic is faulty. The MAD principle doesn't say a nuclear power would not shoot at or fight another nuclear power. It says a nuclear power would not use nukes to destroy another nuclear power because they in turn would be destroyed. Read: Mutual assured destruction Today's problem is that Putin, and possibly Xi, may wish to return the world the untenable era of territorial and human conquest to satisfy whatever they crave. There is no reason that Russia could not have used the last 20 years to build friendly, strong, and mutually beneficial relationships with Ukraine and the world. Except for Putin's backwards Hitlerish style, which the world including China must reject.

Thaksin Slightly Better But Still Needs Oxygen, Room Cooled By Fans
rabas replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Love the no special treatment nonsense. Fly him by helicopter to a top hospital after a few hours in the prison hospital ward. Now he's in Royal Suite 1401 on 14th floor, but the police explain this not a VIP room. And, the aircon is 'no so good' so they added a couple of fans for his comfort. Then they assign 6 physicians at his beck and call. What do real prisoners get? But in Thailand, the lie is good enough if you don't loose face pretending to believe it. -
Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital
rabas replied to Chris.B's topic in The War in Ukraine
Revenge against Putin could come soon from multiple directions. 1. From Igor Sushko:Twitter just now: Prigozhin's security services collected all of their electronics & documents from their offices and disappeared. Prigozhin had a plan "B" for this situation and massive kompromat leaks against Putin personally are expected to follow... 2. Putin is meeting with FSB Director Bortnikov right now. 3. This is after the stunning crash of Luna-25, which Putin had pushed for. It's hard to overemphasize the discord between Putin and Russian scientists. Putin needs them but can't trust them, which is why so many are hospitalized or (and) fall out of windows. They in turn fear and loath him. Luan-25 however is on a scale beyond other recent technology failures. Putin may have two marks on his back. And did I mention the ruble, the economy, and the failed illegal Ukraine war? I really don't see how he can survive. -
Are you comfortable with being treated like a walking ATM?

Sure, easy. Just learn a little Buddhism. They may even start offering to pay for you. Absolutely wonderful place and people. -
Turing was the conceptual father of both the modern computer and the idea that computers could be intelligent. Even though sufficient hardware did not exist at that time, he worked out how to teach computers to play chess and predicted one day computers would bet humans at the game. Most genius ideas start this way, they come from one guy thinking weird things, not from engineering. Read this: https://www.britannica.com/technology/artificial-intelligence/The-Turing-test
