There is too much overloading of terms these days. I saw LoRA, thought LoRa, and wondered why someone would spell GNU Radio as Gradio.

I'm amazed anyone still buys China's "weather balloon" lie. A weather balloon that large and expensive is a major project. It would have a project leader, project webpage, articles and conference papers, sharing of data,

> No one gives a fuck about your social media (eg StackOverflow, GitHub, Kaggle, etc) This is just plain wrong. When doing interviews at my previous company, we always looked at their github repo if provided.

There is no requirement under the Chinese National Intelligence Law for intelligence agencies to go through courts for access. There is no due process for those affected. That law also compels companies and citizens to actively assist intel
