In der Praxis gab es keine richtige Abgrenzung zwischen Kaperfahrt und Piraterie; siehe z.B: Klaus Störtebecker wird von vielen nur als Pirat gesehen obwohl er lange Zeit legal gesehen ein Kaperfahrer war.
Eine Kaperfahrt ist ganz eindeutig mit einer staatlichen (über)Macht zu identifizieren.
oh i must have missed a few orders of magnitude there. 6Mt of helium is a ridiculous amount though … what is all that used for? according to WA that is about the water volume of the three gorges dam at STP
Edit: just read the report, wow, more than a quarter of all the helium is used just for “breathing mixes” which i assume means its for scuba diving.
from the wiki article on Helium:
an estimated 3000 metric tons of helium are generated per year throughout the lithosphere.
I think the main issue here is not that we are loosing helium on a planetary scale but that the easy to reach helium from gas wells is wasted. We will never run out of helium at our current rate of consumption before the sun goes nova, if we consider all sources on earth, but it will get a lot more expensive and the supply will get less steady.
this is extra tricky because they did not specify the exact kernel. mainline could be any of the kernels tagged as stable that you can build from linus’ git tree. i know that in the past you could run a mainline linux on intel 368 chips but today you probably can not because official support was dropped a while ago.
woah this is awesome!
maglevs need classical wheel systems anyway because there might be a power outage, so simply having wheels that are compatible with the local rail system is a brilliant idea.
add in a tiny propulsion system so they can use the normal tracks at low speed without the help of the maglev tracks and you can sort of blend the two systems together in critical locations like switches and train stations.
Warum benutzt man überhaupt Blocksatz? Ich meine jetzt mal abgesehen von viel zu schmalen Zeitungsspalten und Hotelshampooflaschen…
