I'm not a big fan of this article, but I don't think it's advocating reading less. Rather, it advocates rereading a few core works more. There's something to be said for knowing a few things well instead of trying to kn

There are certainly treatments that are based on evidence and capable of helping individuals in a variety of circumstances. From what I've read, Cognitivr Behavioral Therapy and some of its spin offs really do help people recover from

VOA is legally obligated to only tell the truth. News services don't have the same obligation.

Even if it's a ballpark figure, the GP's statement would still be correct, no?

Would there be a reason we wouldn't expect these mergers to happen very often? I mean, LIGO doesn't detect black holes that often considering how much space it is surveying. Would there be time for the small black holes to accum

That article is clearly not saying that you shouldn't read philosophy at all. It's arguing that there is a lot of crap philosophy, but there's plenty of articles arguing there's a lot of crap physics, psychology, and ec

An AWACS has never been flown in an area where it is likely to get shot down. That RADAR is a nice juice target for a HARM, and the maneuvers you can do in an AWACS is not nearly what you'd be able to do in any fighter. I don't

Yeah, there's a lot of other ways they could have gotten it.

Read the document. They have the server software. They have configuration files for the server, they know how it processes communication, they know how it generates UUID's. They have the server software.

Which would make me not want to use it if I was a revolutionary in a totalitarian state that could get access to that data.

Read the article. Microsoft published details about an attack from April 2019 using an IP. This malware used the same IP for a different attack, also in April 2019.

They know specific commands and configurations for the "drobovur-server" which is the "Command and Control (C2) Server." This makes me think they have the actual server software and probably some sort of operational dep

They have the server software. There's a couple ways they could get it. 1.) They could have hacked the C2 server or a development network, like you are talking about. 2.) The server could be forward deployed to a cloud provider or ot

How many incoming bombs, cruise missiles, and other threats can a modern SAM system engage at once? According to wikipedia, a SA-20 carries 4 missiles per TEL, and each command vehicle can control up to 12 TELs. That gives the command vehic

The problem is going to be keeping an AWACS close enough to command and control the fighters while not risking getting it shot down. An F-22 or F-35 (or even an F-15) is going to be a lot more survivable than an AWACS.

The US Air Force is already looking at this. I believe the plan wouldn't be to tie it to a specific "generation" of fighter, and will allow fifth, and maybe even fourth generation fighters to lead a "swarm" of figh

First, let's not play whataboutism. Certainly the US isn't perfect. That doesn't make what Russia is doing ok. Second, Cuba is a totalitarian dictatorship. That's probably not the best example.

Yeltsin certainly began the process, but it's hard to argue that Putin hasn't acted very aggressively to consolidate power. The idea that just because it was a process that started under a previous ruler, the currently ruler shoul

But thats not compression. That's downloading and running an executable that duplicates files.

by enkid 6y ago
That's not how compression would work. Think about if they are adding a new level. The algorithm would have nothing to compare the files against except what is actually being sent. If the texture appears in each level, and each leve

Woah there, that's a lot of generalizations. Do you really think that either 1.) All people making these comparisons have Macbooks and drink lattes (whatever that means), or 2.) that all people who have Macbooks and drink lattes rail

Can you point to a specific treaty? Radio Free Europe has been doing it for decades. Photons don't stop at national borders, and the footprint of a satellite is likely going to mean that Belarus will have transmissions from satellites

Countries that have that capability can't shoot down 40000 of them.

The question isn't whether or not there are laws against it, it's how you enforce the laws. For example, the USSR had to jam radio stations to stop external content getting into it's borders. Would a country like Belarus tr

I don't see Starlink shutting down subscribers if the Belarussian government asks them to, at least not very quickly. If the terminals are available, this is going to make all of the national internet projects (Russia, China, Iran) mu
