Starshield with SAR that could support a missile lock would be a completely transformative capability in any pacific war scenario.

From the inside, this is nothing compared to COVID. 2025 feels a bit weird but to compare it with 2020 is laughable.

This is probably technically true but very misleading. Fiber penetration in the US has been consistently rising for over a decade now and it is not at all uncommon to have either Google Fiber, Fios, or a local fiber provider available to yo

There’s a very short period of time where if it exploded debris would fall on the African continent which is an unavoidable risk of orbital flight out of the US. Other than that it’ll either fall in the Atlantic or Indian Ocean.

They go up to 98% of orbital velocity on purpose to ensure they don’t create space junk if something goes wrong.

Some lower bitrate shows are animated cartoons where far less bitrate is really needed. I’m sure you could find some awful compression botches if you really looked on a public tracker though.

I literally built a NAS this past weekend and put TrueNAS on it and man has it been humbling learning to administer it. I’m able to get basic stuff working now after drowning in permissions hell for a day but I’m basically getting myself ou

Doing one wrong thing is better than doing two. You can oppose the Trump administration immigration policy and this sort of TSA abuse and celebrate one of them ending.

I had this happen in both of the past two machines I have built but both were installing windows 10 so I was ultimately able to just finish offline and then grab the drivers on a usb stick to get the internet up and running. The Intel NICs

You could make it so that if someone called the gambling hotline then they automatically are suspended from betting at all sports books for a year or something. Idk if this is the perfect policy but it took me about 5 minutes to come up wit

Gambling is addictive for some , in the same way that alcohol is addictive for some, yet blanket alcohol prohibition is not considered a great idea in hindsight.

You misunderstand the difficulty. We don't have (and likely won't ever have) the ability to read people's thoughts and say what they were thinking when they made their choices. In order to do any analysis of human choices you

Falling back to "people are irrational", in the economic sense of rational (ie not having complete, transitive, and reflexive preferences) quickly leads to any economic claim being unfalsifiable.

This is the case in many fields but not in Economics. There is little incentive to pad out PhD counts for cheap labor since the vast majority of the Econ PhD is either taking classes in first and second year or working on independent resear

Apple briefly proposed something similar but then reversed course pretty quickly and has unequivocally stated that it was a poorly thought out idea when they proposed it. I'd have to assume that Apple and WhatsApp are taking a more beh

On the other hand Cliff Asness and AQR are perfectly happy to rake in money by using the "dogma" as you describe it to analyze and trade in financial markets.

The theory you are discussing (grad micro 101 equilibrium existence) is not actually crazy if you think about what the mathematical assumptions actually imply. Really the economic assumptions boil down to "small changes in prices lead

What is the state of PQ symmetric crypto? My layman's understanding is that 128 bit AES is known to be broken by a quantum computer and that 256 AES may be OK but that isn't certain? Is this an additional vector for the "harv

This is why the sports books ban so few people. 1% gets thrown around a lot but most places that disclose this say “less than 1%” and it’s likely pretty well below 1%. The sports books like the top 5% who aren’t top 0.5% because those peopl

Not just reluctance, there has been an annual spending rider since 2015 that says no money can be spent prosecuting people for marijuana crimes federally if they are in compliance with their state’s marijuana laws.
