Honestly I think the camouflage is more about making the soldier wearing it feel safer, as opposed to making them harder to see. That is not to say things like all-white in a winter environment, or a gilly suit are not quite effective.

Aye, there is also a significant difference between hiding a many thousand ton, hundreds of meters long ship on the high seas, and a 1 meter tall human being in the forest.

I was under the impression that the effectiveness of Dazzle camouflage was debatable, if not outright ineffective? There were no standardized patterns by which they could be studied for their effectiveness in WWI, and by WWII when such sche

I would think 3D printing, portable CNC machines[0], and custom PCB fabrications[1] are making headway into the openness of the HW space. I think that even before the tools, or maybe alongside of, there needs to be an abundance of cheap, cl

The house is not the balanced piece when it comes from the perspective of the states themselves. The smaller states then would have very little say in how the country at large operates.

You are ignoring the fact that Wyoming only has 1 representative in the house, which is where the balancing piece comes in.

If it's any consolation, Brunswick probably wont win the bid. Amazon will probably pick a much larger city in the Eastern US that has a healthier/larger talent pool.

I would call that an interesting half truth or outright lie. Nuclear reactors need a lot of water to run the turbines and to cool themselves. A lot of international borders are on major rivers, or other large bodies of water...

I think whether or not it is regressive depends on the context. A flat tax (perhaps an even steeper on than generally exists currently) on goods purchased might help to curb consumption/consumerism that is destroying our environment. T

I like to believe most of them are trolls, but you can never be too sure. Some of those comments actually do ask decent questions regarding refraction and line-of-sight calculations.

According to the Submarine Cable Map (linked elsewhere in the comments), there are already a number of cables between the USA, SA, and IN. Is it the "contiguous" nature of this cable that is so novel?
