I have in fact cooked eggs at night by running water over them that was heated in such vacuum-insulated-tube collectors, then held in an insulated tank. This used to be an economical way to get hot water when PV was more expensive.
This is great, but we must be quite close to a decent synthetic milk by now? It's just water, fats, lactose (possibly optional) and some proteins - no structure to worry about. It would cut out a lot of unnecessary steps.
Without the proper -—bonjour flag as first argument, I expect the compiler to work against me, pretending to compile fine while introducing subtle users bugs
When Cambodia is a signatory, you know this is just whitewash, or even 'protective intelligence' ie using the shared international intelligence to protect the scams and evade enforcement. Keep your enemies close.
Also: how confident are we in the safeguards that, say, North Korea or Pakistan have in place? And how confident are we in the systems that tell us, and our adversaries, that an attack is taking place?
“His subsequent decision to disobey orders, against Soviet military protocol, is credited with having prevented an erroneous retaliatory nuclear attack on the United States and its NATO allies that would have likely resulted in a large-scale nuclear war.”
Not impenetrable, just contrarian. China is doing the robot thing so it can cope with demographic shifts as it shifts toward an older population and deals with youth not wanting to do tedious/dangerous factory work.
Automation at huge scale while maintaining the industrial base will allow a shift toward a more consumption driven economy but still keeping things cheap. Might be the only way to keep things from toppling with their huge population.
I think you'll find this is not 'at the request' of any government but part of a much wider policy being implemented.
Eg, Cambodia just had $15B in crypto confiscated (ostensibly illegal proceeds of the 'Prince' group, but IMHO they are just a front for the state), and is facing a financial blacklisting.
China were pressuring the area to crack down on this stuff early this year, but it's quite possible the trigger for the west to get more involved was the Cambodia/Thai conflict, which was a simple personal feud over this business, provoked by the Cambodian leader, but which risked spreading into a much wider conflict.
They may well deny it, but there's plenty of international documentation showing it is indeed a thing, and presumably starlink have even more evidence.
A big thermos would be much more challenging, though there are already long vacuum bottles/tubes used as solar cookers.
