I don't usually read the Telegraph, but Macron just doubled down about "Western" boots on the ground, so I am all for any hesitancy to turn this into WWIII by sending "advisors". From my other comment, that is how V

This is how it all starts. The US had 25,000 "advisors" on the ground in Vietnam before the official 8 March 1965 US Marine landings at Da Nang. I don't blame the Germans for being transparent, so the people know what we migh

I am fluent in Spanish having been born and raised in Sunset Park, Brooklyn in the mid-60s through the mid-80s, which had a large Puerto Rican and Dominican population. Being half-Irish and half-Ukrainian, I spent some time at the Irish Art

It is the maneuverability that makes them hard to actually hit, since it is not a simple parabolic or dumb ballistic missile trajectory, even if the ICBM or SRBM is going Mach 5, or hypersonic. That's why they usually don't includ

I meant to convey that the headline, "SpaceX launches military satellites tuned to track hypersonic missiles" makes it sound like we will have military satellites in position to counter Russian/Chinese/?'s hypersoni

I grew up in Sunset Park, Brooklyn in the mid-'60s to the '80s, lived in Manhattan from the mid-'80s to late '90s. My neighborhood was predominantly Puerto Rican and Dominican, so it was full of the sounds of bongo drums

Well, I guess it's some sort of public gesture of false reassurance, since all I have been hearing about these past two years is Russia's hypersonic missiles with plasma shields that cannot be shot down, and China's hypersoni

Probably an automated algorithm as they said back in the Dorsey days even when he refused to confirm why it didn't auto-populate a user's search box with Republicans as much as Democrats during his 2018 testimony. I didn't kn

I think a lot of those people think that you also get away with a lot without supervision because the average worker will tend to comfortable effort if they think they are not being audited somehow. For me, I could keep productive, but work

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, so that wasn't my situation. I was a welder for a company in NYC making animated displays in the mid-90s. I took the subway. I would read, think about work, observe people, etc. No phones and internet

It's a class thing too. I grew up poor, but had the good fortune of getting a computer back in 1978. I have had a mix of manual labor and office jobs over the years, and obviously you can't WFH if your job is diving and fixing und

Urbit now has a lower entry barrier with comets than when it first came out I believe. I am going to look into Ur. I remember reading Nock/Hoon snippets when it was relatively new, but I was lost in the whole Urbit thing at the time. U

I have 2 Macs, PCs, and Linux. I need a cross-platform editor, for which I use emacs or VS Code right now. Will Zed eventually go cross-platform before 2025?

They don't because the birth rate tanked, and besides China is going to claim the new land as originally part of the Seventh Kingdom and invade it after Taiwan.

That would be ridiculous. Vox is Latin for "voice" and has been used widely for a lot more than your reference. I am fluent in Spanish and lived there in the late 80s, but I have been out of touch, so this is the first I've h

No, "Lair of the White Worm" here, but a 30cm worm would instill terror in me (unless Amanda Donohoe and Catherine Oxenberg were with me! Sorry, Sammi Davis...).

I know it's a motorcycle and a non-plug-in hybrid, but I think Kawasaki's offering of a 450cc ICE with a "strong" EV hybrid hits the sweet spot for me. You get 1000cc performance with the EV assist off the line, and 250c
