thats basically what https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loon_LLC was mostly for I think. its a really good idea though, and pretty cool technology. I think it only makes sense for battl…

I don't think so. I don't know what altitude its at but I imagine aerodynamic control surfaces would not be that effective. F-22 would be better, which is what we deployed.

the ISR payload tends to be massively less as well, with a balloon compared to a satellite, since balloon payloads need to be really small. they are basically an obsolete technolog…

common != it has happened before. also note in the DOD press briefing they stated that this was markedly different than previous incursions due to primarily the duration of loiteri…

if after reading those things you honestly can't see the difference then you are definitely part of the problem.

Not that I know of, but I guess elements of the USCG can be seconded by the USN to assist in a law-enforcement capacity? it makes sense that the maritime forces get to play togethe…

Thats interesting. I assumed narco subs fell into DHS/USCG jurisdiction and since they have no ASW/ASuW functionality (I think?), getting the USN involved seems kinda overkill? Am …

kind of amusing to say that, given the reason this is occurring is because the US is an incredibly popular country for immigrants to flock to improve their QOL and give their kids …

This article is kind of a wrapper for the linked bloomberg article, which is more interesting IMO. Driving of cars is a massive cooperative game with high stakes, and autonomous ca…

Modern Fortran is honestly a joy to work with. A large part of this is due to FPM; I've had a lot of problems in the past with building more complex Fortran projects (with FoBiS ma…

The flow of Jobs' voice is a little off, but wow this is incredible. But also incredibly concerning. Its cool tech, and I guess nothing can stop the inevitability of new technology…

? nice non-sequitur and nice antisemitism?

It's interesting the very different roles hair has played in philosophical movements: the bald Buddhist monks, the beard-growing Greek philosophers, and here the growing of long ha…

Maybe because the initial reporting got so much traffic, Citizenlab pushed far more resources into investigating NSO products? Maybe its political in nature? I can't imagine the re…

Even that comparison is a bit of a reach because the US does not have conscription, so the professional/education pipelines are just massively different.

Is it even tenable to attempt this for the entirety of Greater London? Should the focus be on just improving Central London I wonder?

Precisely. Its easy to criticize an agency when one is only privy to the failures. What the public sees is such a tiny fraction of what actually goes on, including positive publica…

I do wonder on the feasibility of such events. I don't know a huge amount about pre-revolution Iran, but I don't think the Shah had an exceptionally powerful security force (I coul…

Yeah seeing this today is funny given today begins Rosh Hashanah, the Hebrew new year. But I imagine _most_ countries of the world use the gregorian, especially those on english-sp…

Having both traveled across the country and throughout Greater London on trains, it is actually really convenient. London is its own kind of beast with the tube/overground, but thr…
