Google "us announces it can manipulate space and time"

I think the implication was the US can insert itself anywhere at any time and no one can stop it.

More likely, the story is designed to make the public believe that US propaganda is actually aimed at the "foreign adversary" rather than at the US population. The emotionally appealing bit is the idea that even if the story is fake, Iran is now thinking it is dealing with an adversary that has and is using tech that is right out of science fiction. In reality, it's all aimed at us, the people. All of the "tough talk…

Why would disinformation about a technology used to recover a pilot have any bearing on public socio-political views about the war? Eternal September is becoming increasing real on HN.

The us did recently announce that it has technology that can manipulate space and time or something. It's very likely a psyop like you said. "You don't know how advanced we really are! When we come for you you better just give up!" I bet the us does have some secret weapons technologies. I wouldn't be surprised if some of them are sci fi adjacent. But I think their biggest asset is likely intelligence, and channels t…

I can manipulate space-time. Enter the on ramp to the highway and accelerate. I am now aging slightly slower than you are. I can also manipulate gravity by charging my phone. Since E=mc^2 my phone weighs slightly more when charged.

Hey, I saw your comment on my suggestion of switching to drama instead of switching animals on the cocaine bear thread and just wanted to correct an apparent misunderstanding of meth. I can't comment over there any more because I missed it for too long so I'm doing it here, which I hope isn't so against the rules as to annoy anyone. Meth is both excreted and metabolized and then the metabolites excreted in urine but the metabolites are pretty psycho active as well.This is done primarily with the liver enzyme CYP2D6 which primarily metabolized it to amphetamine and 4-hydroxymethamphetamine, which are both psycho active. The end result is 30-50% methamphetamine excreted unchanged and the rest the metabolites of which most are the two mentioned and psychoactive themselves. The ratio is primarily determined by the urine PH.The more you know (tm)

The US very much would like the public to believe space data centers are economical and viable so they can just throw the taxpayer money to their favorite techbros, aka owners. China will win purely because idiocracy

> China will win purely because idiocracy

China will win because its leaders didn't drink the capitalist kool-aid, which mean they can use capitalism as a tool instead of being controlled by its dysfunction.

Or some kind of cover story to distract from the real technology. If they really used some kind of advanced beacon, but they can convince people it's actually some kind of crazy-advanced heartbeat-detector, they can discourage their adversaries from looking for the beacon signal.

That’s giving a lot of credit to the New York Post.

There’s a non-zero chance they’ll run an article this week about Bigfoot being an agent of the deep state.

Video have some inaccuracies. As example, said "to detect heartbeat from 100m, 10-20 T", but then talking about "from 100km".

So, if carefully looking, SQUID could detect with 10-15T, so need just additional 5 magnitudes. And as I know from practice amateur astronomy, with regular signal, 5 additional magnitudes could be achieved with numerical methods.

So we have two questions remain - how CIA managed to have SQUID small enough to fit on something like helicopter (or weapons bay on fighter), and how they managed to fly nearer than 100m to pilot, each could be answered - "possible, if have highly motivated people, with big money".
