Also my question deals with near future scenarios (rather than literally right now). The status quo can change in the time of war until it escalates to nuclear

So does that mean detection is indeed difficult or late?

However if I'm not even sure I'll be able to detect the nukes early enough or if it takes far too long to organise a counterstrike .. it makes sense to respond heavily out of fear .. since by the time you know the magnitude of attack it may be too late to make a response.

@Nyakouai Well it does make sense for the amount of counter-strike to depend on the amount of nuclear strike being detected. But I really don't know how things are right now. Also I guess it also depends on how much time is available. For instance if I'm guaranteed I'll be able to detect any major nuclear strike in region X two hours before it comes, and it takes me only 20 minutes to schedule a counter strike, that gives my nation 100 minutes of room to think over the decision, negotiate with allies, communicate with the general public etc. As opposed to having an automated response system

@Nyakouai Lastly .. our discussion is only tangentially related to the question, we could maybe move to a chat thread or something?

If you ask me it makes more sense to define the level of escalation in terms of how many casualties are you willing to inflict and, how many civilian casualties are you willing to inflict. The method used to deliver those casualties (nuclear versus chemical versus explosives etc) shouldn't matter as much. Even warfare through bombs can inflict far more damage than a small nuke

@Nyakouai Why though? Traditional warfare has often in the past had rules of things that are unacceptable (war crimes) and countries abiding by these rules (or atleast giving the impression that they are). Levels of escalation is all playing on psychology, right? So why is nuclear binary? Two levels of escalation, level 0 being that any amount of civillian casualty via conventional weapons goes, but nothing nuclear, and level 1 being any amount of nuclear casualty is allowed.

@Nyakouai Basically I'm talking of various levels of escalation of a nuclear war rather than an all-or-nothing scenario. Also slowing down the internet is a pretty serious threat (comparable to nuking millions of civilians) and I feel it's on par with other forms of warfare that could happen at the level of escalation I'm talking about.

@Nyakouai Nuking a military camp the size of a town/city is not a guarantee that the other side is gonna start nuking civillians or ramp up the amount of nukes being used (if I am not mistaken). Nuclear war doesn't necessarily have to be an all-or-nothing deal, there could be mutual understanding (basically MAD) that civilian casualties are not to be used simply for shock value, however selectively using nukes on military camps might be acceptable without destabilising the status quo further.

@jamesqf Nobody knows. But if existing presidents are manipulated and/or killed repeatedly, the rest of the government isn't going to sit and do nothing.

@Raditz_35 Is it fine now? Btw I changed the order of the first two points, does that help?

To close-voters, I know I have asked 3 different questions,... But is it really possible to answer any one of them in isolation, without also discussing the others? (a) is only a minor question, (b) and (c) are the big ones and are interrelated

@Raditz_35 I don't mind the infrastructure collapsing as long as the people survive. I don't really know which institutions are better retained, and which are better dismantled

@Raditz_35 No I don't exactly know what are the minimum essential functions required for the survival of the people. Those were just some thoughts.

Since it has a number of things to consider, such as how food is produced and distributed, what changes should be made to economic policy and how citizens use money, regulation (or at least safe suspension) of existing institutions, such as courts, army, etc. All these do sound like responsibilities of a government

@Raditz_35 I've tried editing, hope it's better now. Thanks. Btw can't a body that ensures the survival of the citizens be called a government?

1) any person(s) and formal administrative structures, 2) the public are not aware of the names and origins of all the leaders of the chain of command. 3) There may be a single leader atop the chain of command or hundreds of them, depends on what ends up getting implemented. Answer could also discuss what kind of govt structure is more stable, 4) identity includes face, name, and genetic/racial origin. Ideally all such details should be kept secret (since we have no idea how capable the anonymous organisation is), 5) Ensure the citizens don't starve to death

@AlexP (contd.) If so, what unconstitutional measures can be taken and by whom?

@AlexP So you are saying there are no constitutional provisions that can help create this kind of a dictatorship?

Hi. I figured asking for help would be off-topic on the main site. So I thought of asking here. Actually I met up with a random stranger on Omegle.com like about a week ago. We have emailed back and forth since then. She has harmed herself more than once and been hospitalised. I can provide more details if required. She's 16 and from Germany. Is there anybody I should ask her to contact (since I do not have any knowledge of psychology)? If not, anybody here who wants to help?

@JourneymanGeek You said you could search the roll number results using Firefox. I've downloaded it. Can you please tell me how to do so, either here or at my question superuser.com/q/1192226/539569

Some users even use their actual name as their username

Ok. I guess I have no one to fear

The chances of somebody who knows me ending up on this chatroom are pretty slim, and it won't matter even if they do

Why? Is that a problem?

Ok thanks

Also should I post a question or u'll just tell me here

Should I do that first?

I can download Firefox then

I can post a question if it will be accepted

Chrome

Sounds like only a professional can do it. Can u pls do it? (Unless you are busy ofcourse)

I didn't understand

Ya

Science could also work

Cyber for sure

I don't know HTML, and it doesn't seem like HTML either.

I'm still not sure what the field names are or how the fill them up automatically

Yes I tried

So only a professional can do it?

Such as?

No it isn't in the URL

Hi. Can I ask a doubt here? If I have to get exam results from a page, I type in the roll number to do it. However, I want to like download the results of all possible roll numbers in a category. How do I do it? results.sofworld.org/results Someone told me to use wget. I tried for some time but failed.

So CalculatorFeline's answer is invalid. :p

Does it have to possible for one to create a compiler/interpreter for the language without solving the conjecture?

So if someone else wants to use it, then can

It was just an idea
