I’m not sure why it has to do any requests at all. One would think you could make a todo app with some html, tiny amount of js to store it in local storage.
That might be the case. I'm not a lawyer, but I do try to know as much as I can about IP law. Regardless, I would expect that Hasbro doesn't actually have the ability to protect this fragrance short of a SLAPP suite.
From "tearing paper", a continuous ripping action, giving rise to the english idiom "he went on a tear" .. as in "started partying and didn't stop" or "started coding and didn't stop".
It's quite interesting looking in to it. The verb "tear" has had a meaning of vigorous haste/rushing since the 16th century so the "on a tear" idiom from the 19th century likely comes from the notion of haste rather than pulling apart material.
I believe "on a tear" was mostly used to communicate a sudden violent action rather than continuity e.g. "stock goes on a tear" not because of a steady continuous rise but because it undergoes a sudden violent change of state from flat-lining to vertical. You might be a "tearabout" or a "tearaway" if impetuous, reckless or hard to control.
I can imagine idioms like "tearing up the track" are pleasing in two meanings of the word e.g. that a horse might "tear down the track" in both haste but also in how torn up the track is from their hooves. Same with a speeding car in the days of dirt roads.
However, in modern use, especially about "productive" behaviours, I think it has lost some of the violence and gained more of the continuity sense supported by the pleasing visual imagery of e.g. scissors gliding through wrapping paper.
As a native English speaker I was aware of the older meaning, however as someone that often "quickly explains english" to ESL folk and|or non-Commonwealth English backgrounds I went with "tearing paper" as a starting point as it felt more likely to be familiar.
This is consistent with your last paragraph re: modern usage.
I've got a much thumbed multi volume OED edition on my shelves .. it's boggling how many words have half page or more entries with multiple meanings and historical backstory.
Yeah, I look up etymology because I love how there are millennia of human culture condensed in a word as it migrates and evolves across classes, cultures and languages. Will it be Norse, Germanic, Latin or maybe Dravidic? Will it have been loaned from x to y to z and then back to x with new meanings?
I had hoped it might have come from reading rapidly in the days of uncut pages where you have to eagerly tear each new page to read it. But no, lol.
Well the cve noted in the article requires local access so either stacking exploits, having access to the machine or dropping usbs and hoping someone plugs it in.
The moon is also naturally covered in microabrasive, statically charged dust, that will happily annihilate any piece of equipment we put there, that is more complex than a lunar rover from the early 70s, in a matter of days.
If building something so large, you would start drilling down on the shore and then sideways underneath the water as far as necessary. It would be unwise to drill using a rig on the ocean itself. Drilling on the moon is well a moon shot...
It's really hard to explain just how much more difficult that is. This would require digging extraordinarily deep. At that depth temperatures and pressures are absurd. You'd have to be able to keep whatever tunnel you dig from collapsing due to the pressure without causing saltwater incursion.
To be entirely honest I don't think we even have the technology to do this on earth. In space it's feasible but expensive and time consuming but on earth, under the ocean in particular we probably don't even have the technology yet to make that an option regardless of how absurd.
And at that point you might as well just tunnel under solid ground instead. It'd be far easier and at least potentially achievable. But that's exactly why TFA is proposing a lunar collider instead as it'd be cheaper and more feasible than one that is underground on earth.
I’m going to guess it’s still easier than building it on the Moon, where we have notably less drilling capability and the conditions are significantly harsher. Not to mention the cost of equipment transfer.
IIRC more people have spent longer on the the Moon than the bottom of places like the Marianas Trench.
Managing 0-1 atmosphere variation is very different than 1-400. The deep ocean (and deep crust you’d have to go through in spots if you want it to circle the Earth) are extremely hostile to humans.
