Best calculator I had was a HP-15C using RPN

I still have my HP21 scientific and HP10b2+ financial calculators. They both use RPN (though less for the financial calculator because it has its own formulae for business.) My sons are completely baffled when they watch me calculate something with the HP21.

I was introduced to it in conjunction with a proprietary programmable integrated circuit controller. Fibre boards with transistors programmed by connecting terminals with jumpers. The counters, timers and logic were all based on RPN and the logic drawings read from right to left.
One step beyond Turing's vacuum tubes.
The next step was Boolean.
Oh how happy I was when industry settled on ladder logic. But even there, there were quirks. Allen Bradley read their programs left to right then top to bottom IIRC while Modicon read theirs top to bottom then right to left. Programs had to be rewritten for different controllers with their different clocks.

I think the 21 was the first calculator with a function key. In high school, some of us were in awe of our Algebra teachers’ HP21. Sad to say, it was years before any teacher allowed a scientific calculator in class.

South Korean shipyard sweetens its submarine sales pitch to Canada

I take the SK over the Germans on two things, faster delivery of more than one sub and far more meaningful industrial cooperation and military defence spending. As a conciliation prize, we can order new leopard tanks from Germany and the Oerlikon Skyranger gun system.Hanwha ramping up the charm offensive:

I can't help when I read this new article, to think of the old mantra in business/investing, 'If something looks to be to good true or sounds to good to be true, walk away from it'.

Hanwha has offered to construct two submarine “sustainment” facilities on both coasts and also envisions a manufacturing facility in Canada to build tanks, rockets, howitzers and resupply vehicles
Hanwha wants “to have the entire life cycle” of the subs, “support, maintenance, all of that,” operated “in Canada by Canadians” for “decades to come.”
Every time Hanwha has a meeting with Canadian officials, it appears to update its game plan for selling Canada on the KSS-III, its lithium-ion powered sub model
Hanwha says that if Canada signs a contract next year, it can leverage its massive shipyard capacity — totalling five kilometres square — to build four KSS-III submarines by 2035, with the first to be delivered 2032.
The company claims this could allow Canada to avoid $1 billion on repairs by retiring the Victoria subs early

SK builds factories in Canada to help it get into the Re-Arm Europe?
The CAF needs a lot of things the SK's aren't interested in making or selling - and Canada's own acquisitions are not generally that large - so conceivably they would have a lot of spare capacity - which also benefits SK as Canada is globally positioned not to be the center of any ground combat - unlike Europe or their home...

I am officially boarding the Korea train. They really want this.
EDIT: I have just realized @Czech_pivo posted the CTV article earlier.

I do not think Canada should be or is especially interested in a lot of the other South Korean offerings pitched here however, the submarine deal itself seems very good and only gets better seemingly by the day.

I think @KevinB touched on a key element of the Korean offer.
It is self serving.
It is in Korea's interest to offshore their supply chains. Their factories and shipyards are too close to their enemy.
Also they need to secure a resource base that they lack. Coal, oil, LNG, graphite, iron, copper, lithium, slilca, beef, pork, chickens, canola, wheat, cheese.
They are in the market for it all.
And as an entrepot for Canadian goods into Asia they could replicate Amsterdam, London, New York, Hong Kong and Singapore.
In case nobody else has noticed the rest of the world thinks that we are rich.

I thought they did, but can't find any reference to it. I get the feeling the Canadian government is moving much faster than the Germans anticipated and that the South Koreans can and will pivot faster and be more flexible than the Germans.
