People lost faith in media after their support for Iraq war. I haven't seen anything from them which shows they are trying to improve.
> People lost faith in media after their support for Iraq war. These criticisms toward the media and 'it's not like it used to be' allegations have been going on for generations.

The author, Tyler Rogoway, is a revered aviation journalist. He used to write for FoxtrotAlpha. I've followed him for a couple of years and now and he always presents a very balanced stance on issues.
How do you follow an author? Are there any special techniques or do you just manually keep track?
So what are the Russians planning in the Arctic? The article hints on it but does not explain it.

> Not only is the label of incompetence highly subjective, it is also useless at best This just isn't the case. The label of incompetence can give you correct, meaningful answers to questions like - This person wants me to work with them. Am I likely to get anything out of this? - If I devote my time to trying to educate/train/help this person, will I see any results from that? Will they end up with any additional kn…
Wow! A whole new low. I never thought I would see it get worse but here it is. Please tell me we are better than this as a profession.
It would certainly dismay me to see these attitudes taken by an educator. For a working professional with deadlines to meet, they are entirely reasonable, albeit perhaps a bit harsh. But the world can be a bit harsh, too.

Perhaps a smarter browser implementation could detect this sort of thing?
I was wondering if there is a tool / extension that provides a dashboard that would detect this instead of "it feels slow".
Watchout, this site is a disgrace... maxes out my CPU, it's just text for fuck sake what are they doing bitcoin mining in javascript?
I love that the parent comment currently has the most sub-comments on this story. EDIT: By "this comment", I meant "the parent comment".
Somewhat related, the WC-135 Constant Phoenix is one cool looking plane.
It's a Boeing 707, essentially.
(I'd probably go for one of the larger Gulfstreams, myself, in a world line where choosing which jet aircraft to buy myself were a problem I had - I have just enough hands-on flying experience to really, really want to know how something that size, with that powerplant, would handle. But if I expected a need to carry more than a half dozen or so passengers, I'd go for a 707, too.)
I travelled on a (non-nuclear) icebreaker out from Murmansk back in 2012. On the way out to the open ocean we passed several moored nuclear powered icebreakers and other vessels in various states of decay[0]. It was both fascinating and disturbing to see - many of these had not yet been decommissioned and it seemed to me that they were huge disasters waiting to happen. In Murmansk itself there is a nuclear icebreaker…
Many European countries share radiological monitoring data with each other, and this is made available to the public through the Joint Research Council: https://remon.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ I'm not sure if it's possible to get historical data, but if so it could be interesting to have a look at data from January.

> Specifically: I cannot imagine that a quality news site (say the NY Times, Atlantic, or WSJ) would not mention such uncertainty. What about that news article that WaPo published about the guy who found some malware on his laptop and was blown out into this https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/russi... I don't know how you could go from a virus on a laptop to "Russia is hacking into our power grid"…
What about that news article that WaPo published about the guy who found some malware on his laptop and was blown out into this https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/russi... . I don't know how you could go from a virus on a laptop to "Russia is hacking into our power grid" unless you are being intentionally dishonest or have such an agenda that you jump at any scrap to make a story. That was terribl…
