> The United States had on June 30 condemned what it described as a systematic violation of human rights, fundamental freedoms and attacks on the press in Haiti, urging the government to counter a proliferation of gangs and violence.
I’m not up on what’s been happening in Haiti but this one little paragraph at the end here tells the whole story… the same playbook that’s been used again and again.
To be fair to the OP, this probably would be on TV news so is likely to be off-topic. That said, you're right - you only need to flag it. Comments about a post being off-topic are boring and noisy, and flagging a post is sufficient.
Little known fact about semiconductors: nobody really knows how they work, beyond that doped substrate, it's all voodoo. And now, a cleansing ritual will have to be performed before our Ryzens turn against us. Again.
Not quite correct. The condensed matter physicists do understand how they work. The problem is it's complicated so the "theory" they teach undergrads is dumbed down to be more palatable.
The sleight of hand comes in where, in the beginning, the "holes" are atoms in the substrate that have lost an electron which, by the time the hall effect appears, those holes are now moving but in the beginning they were stationary.
In fact, in semiconductor physics as taught, both the 'electron' and 'hole' are in fact quasi-particles and only tenuously connected to the electron of the standard model.
Is it unusual to assassinate a president and then not claim responsibility? If you're trying to take power, wouldn't it help if people knew who you were?
David Runciman's book "How Democracy Ends" covers in great detail how coups are now extremely complicated. The people carrying out a coup often want to deny there was a coup, and that "democracy has prevailed".

Why?

Don’t need to publicly claim you did so.
Now beginning at the turn of the 20th century?
