Multiple HTTP requests can be performed over a single connection, and not all connections are for HTTP requests in the first place. The only way to know that an HTTP request is being made (or how many) is to actually see the requests.

It would be a privacy nightmare, of course. Either we would all have to install monitoring software on our devices, or we would have to allow ISPs to break HTTPS.

Short answer, "yes" with an "if." Long answer, "no" with a "but."

Any military intervention into North Korea would have to be a joint effort by the USA and China. Neither power would tolerate the other moving troops into North Korea unilaterally.

Secondly, even a successful intervention would be a humanitarian crisis that would require a decades-long commitment by the powers involved.

And finally, North Korea has nukes. Any intervention would start off in a mad scramble to destroy, capture, or neutralize North Korea launch sites, and then to secure any surviving warheads.

This also partly explains why other countries are willing to send aid. Nobody wins if North Korea collapses.

Quiet, she'll hear you!

My child, that's not really fair. Winn was ambitious and power-hungry, yes, and that made her corruptible, true, but that's not the same as being evil. I also think she redeemed herself at the end, using her last breath to tell the Emissary how to defeat the Pah Wraiths.

What does god need with a rainbow?

Break out the self-sealing pitchforks!

I don't understand why bagpipes get such hate. The music they make is not unpleasant. And don't tell me you didn't cry when Scotty started playing "Amazing Grace" at the end of Wrath of Khan. That's impossible.

All flags are an expression of opinion. Even the pride flag has different versions that include or exclude different sub-cultures and allies.

This is a case where it's the government that's wearing the proverbial cross necklace, not another employee.

Neither are a governmental function. I think that's the operative comparison to be made here.
