The very last paragraph in the article seems to attempt to address that question. I don't see why they'd be willing to spend $150,000 to retrieve a body that they aren't confident is still there. But who knows?

In the past 10 years unconfirmed rumours suggest the body of Green Boots has been moved or buried. But Arnette says he has heard from climbers who insist Green Boots remains in the cave, “right where he’s always been”.

It's more often a factor of how the steel is treated and the resulting hardness of the blade.

Japanese knives are usually heat treated to a much higher hardness. That makes them more resistant to wear, but much more easy to chip if the blade isn't used for smooth, clean cuts and twists on the cutting board or chops bones, for example.

At the other end of the spectrum, you have German knives where they are not as hard, which makes the edge more durable to abuse but prone to losing it's sharpness faster.

In addition, eastern knives are often ground to a finer angle of like 10 to 12 degrees, while western knives are more blunt at 15 or even 20 degrees. A finer edge is by definition thinner, so combine that with higher hardness and you have a blade that can be seen as fragile to people that don't know better or are not as careful. On the other hand, it's seen by professionals as superior because they simply cut better and last longer, provided they are cared for.

Published July 1st.

Presidential historian Allan Lichtman took aim at CNN's News Central hosts Monday morning for being "complicit" in Donald Trump's political rise amid the presumptive Republican nominee's bid for a second term.

Lichtman, appearing with hosts John Berman and Sara Sidner, shifted gears during his comments about recent polls between Trump and Democratic incumbent Joe Biden.

He believes Trump's remarks during last week's debate should have grabbed more headlines than Biden's much-discussed struggles.

"I love you guys in the media, but I have to say, you are complicit in Donald Trump lying and conning his way to the presidency. All of the attention has been on Biden's faltering debate, but Donald Trump's debate was vastly worse," Lichtman said. "It was based entirely on lies. More than 30 significant lies.

"He threatened our democracy by saying he wouldn't accept the results of a fair election. That he would seek retribution. Why wasn't that the headlines? Why wasn't that the greatest concern from the debate, rather than all of the focus on Joe Biden."

In his rebuke of the media's coverage of Trump, he continued:

"There's an old saying, it's not just the evil people who wreak havoc on the world, it's the good people who don't do enough to stop them. And the media right now is complicit in Donald Trump gaslighting his way to the presidency and threatening our democracy," Lichtman added.

They explain nothing. They're in the same boat as all others: open source will let them keep MV2 longer than mainstream chrome, but that future is uncertain as the main project codebase starts to evolve around MV3 and backward compatibility to hack MV2 back in gets lost over time. Nobody here can make promises, and sites that make that make those judgments are naive.

He can still travel, but will now be subject to standard security checks instead of quick ones.

Another big area of Windows that uses kernel-level drivers is anti-cheating engines for games. Microsoft has been speaking with game developers about how to reduce the amount of kernel usage, but it’s a more complicated use case as cheaters often have to purposefully tamper with their machine to disable protections and get cheating engines running.

“A lot of [game developers] would love to not have to maintain kernel stuff, and they are very interested in how they do that,” Weston says. “We’ve been talking about the requirements there, and I think we’ll have more to say on that in the near future.” Riot Games told me last year that it’s willing to follow potential Windows security changes and “recede from the kernel space.”

Frustratingly his constant repeating of this backwards understanding is working. It's starting to widely take hold and resistance in the face of constant misinformation is breaking down. I heard in the last week NPR and the BBC repeat the "foreign country will pay" as fact, not a quote, with no effort to correct or clarify.

What's the saying? Repeat a lie enough and it becomes reality?

Yet another misleading headline.

The article goes on about Yang's dislike of the two party system, that he made his own party to break from the system, and is supporting others who want to do the same.

Nothing in there said Yang agrees with or supports Musk's political objective beyond challenging the two major parties.
