> The US won a land war against Saddam Hussein's Iraqi military, twice, easily. That's one way to look at it. Another (and IMO more correct) way to look at it is that the US lost there once (hence the second invasion), and wi

This is severely hampered by the availability of Google. After a few false starts I ended up switching to DDG as my default search engine. My usage pattern is as follows: for things that are predictably easy to find (e.g. the queries "

Please. The US couldn't even "decapitate" Taliban after 19 years and 1 trillion dollars. Nor could the Soviet Union. Nor could the British before that. You can't win a land war in 21st century without turning the place

From which we conclude that they are gullible idiots. They certified it on the condition that there will be an audit. There's not going to be audit if county has certified already. This does not change my point. With 70% of precincts s

Be that as it may, even you concede these were "anomalies". So Krebs sounds like a partisan hack to me. Some places are still counting ballots. Some are finding misplaced ballots, or "glitches" which just happen to

That'd only make sense once all the software I use is ported to it, and when they offer 32GB or more of RAM in the configurator. Until then this is bleeding edge early adopter stuff, which I'm happy to have others beta test.

People are dying at a much lower rate, we have the highest testing throughput in the world (and still growing), and if mainstream press is to be believed, we're a month or two from deploying a "95% effective" vaccine. We&#x2

That's pretty much a given that you'll get downvoted. I mean yeah, masks seem like a good idea regardless, and they aren't too onerous. People should wear them. They should wash their hands, too, and take vitamin D, and try t

I'd like to see what the "evidence" could even be in this case. Do we know authors of most other malware? Almost never. Yet here they are naming not one individual, but several, and attribute roles to each, and not just any i

Would be interesting to see the "preponderance of evidence" which let them establish the _names_ of those involved. Did they upload the source code with their names in the comments or something? Or is this simply PR designed for p

"Outsourcing" is when you own the resulting IP. That is not the case here, so SpaceX is not "outsourcing".

Your post, on the other hand, is facepalm inducing. Best I can tell NASA _still_ doesn't have the ability to deliver humans into orbit due mostly to bureaucracy and neglect. They purchase it from SpaceX. And to call a launch where ever

Yes, and a lot of those 78.9 year old COVID patients will survive, although of course their probability of death is much higher. The point is not that. The point is it's dumb to pretend that the CFR is going to be uniform, and that jus

> COVID-19 has a fatality rate between 1 and 10% There's a whole slew of reasons why even 1% estimate is bullshit. Consider this: median age of COVID death is currently 78 years old. US all-age life expectancy as of 2018 is 78.9 yea

Flawless work. And to think that just a year ago the United States did not have the ability to deliver humans to the orbit, and now it not only has this ability, but also has it at a record breaking low cost, and it'll only get better

Biden-only means the ballot is marked _only_ for Biden, and not for any of the congress or local legislature candidates. That's unlikely as fuck, especially when such ballots come as a large batch or a series of large batches. That&#x2
