The US bombs the air defense, then it bombs whatever else.

Relevant interview with Senator Schumer: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/3-objects-flying-us-canada-b... He's claiming they're all balloons, and that recovering them has been an in…

“Roughly 1,900 people work at the company” Doing what?

Not to worry, HBO Max has replaced all that with “Velma.”

There aren’t any resources in interstellar space. It’s a near-perfect vacuum and the temperature is a uniform 3 Kelvins.

> I read somewhere (don't remember where) that if a ship constantly accelerates in space, it can reach another star system in a few decades and another galaxy in less than a centur…

Yes, I had one, and it was awesome. The thing went high enough to disappear from view, then gyro’ed safely back to earth.

Meta comment, I love HN for comments like this. Collectively, this website is a super-brain that’s far more impressive than any language model.

Binance will likely be subject to clawback of the funds FTX used to buy them out. If they can still be fully liquid after surrendering $2 billion, they just might make it - assumin…

As CZ has said repeatedly, they’re not a Chinese company. If the CCP bails them out, they’ll have an entirely new set of reputation problems.

Indict them too. There’s every indication that they were beneficial participants of the scheme.

The reputation washing will have a mixed effect, since he’s portraying himself as both innocent and incompetent. Not sure I’d do business with someone like that.

You should watch “The Unbrellas of Cherbourg” to experience a world absolutely full of color, color everywhere, and more beautiful because of it. Not every city has to have the sam…

The term originated in avionics, I believe with the F-16. Before that, IR imaging was top-down, something mounted under spy and reconnaissance planes.

Recent example: Kalthi

I’d say that’s true up to a point, and that point is when unsophisticated customers watch an FTX commercial during the Super Bowl and then send $10K into SBF’s pocket. Those people…

That would be terrific, certainly. MC and Visa fees in the US are outrageous, though Congress seems to finally be taking a look at this. I wonder, though, if there’s an inevitable …

If you can afford one, which most people can’t.
