I memory about this is rusty, but there was A LOT going on with this stealth tech. I vaguely remember color being important, too. The earlier (and stealthier!) designs had a camouflage look rather than black. But this looked "ugly&q

When the French did this to Africans (taking them from their homes and throwing them into zoos), they weren't getting paid anything -- perhaps this is a step up in a dark morid kind of way. And the voyeurs had to travel to the zoos to

It's ridiculous what they had to do to even approach Mach 3. I read the SR-71 would leak fuel during take off and flight. It was intentionally loosely held together. When it went supersonic the metal would basically melt shut. Woul

I was going to comment on the same thing then got lost in all the Easter Egg references... Yes, this was my interpretation as well (or close to it)! There was no way a 15yr old was looking for Backup Software for his Atari (did this even e

Yeah, I had like $4k left in a brokerage account. Then one month I noticed ~$100+ dropped in there and I was like WTF? That's 10x what I see in my savings account for the same amount of money just sitting there! So my money market i

"Island of Shame" by David Vine really gets into the details of this if you really want to know the history. Spoiler: The United States fully controls this territory because of the (very active and strategically important) milita

A customer of mine had their website hijacked by Godaddy (copied their website text and pointed to a Godaddy IP). The application stopped working of course because that was hosted elsewhere (with me). They did this because they didn'

Are you going to summarize all the answers? I think they are just too expensive (seems to be #1 reason or #2). The idea of a $1000 monthly payment is abhorrent to me. For the price so many other cool cars come into the picture. I like Ger

He was convicted in Japan because everybody gets convicted in Japan, especially a foreigner. But he saw no jail time.

A customer of mine has a product based on DragonNaturallySpeaking that medical doctors use for dictation. They are doing a brisk business. It's all software. No fancy hardware. For this use case, it's almost flawless. And wa

I'm for this. Get rid of timezones, AM, PM, DST, leap years, seconds, all of it! Imagine having to know just one time. It takes a bit to wrap your head around. But only because we've accepted all the confusion for so long. Th

Yeah, I'll believe the "tightening" when I see it. Balance sheet still astronomically high. Banks are not being forced to hold dollars. Current Govt Admin spending like drunken sailors. The only difference is we have high

Oil priced in dollars. Countries forced to buy/hold dollars. Country tries to use another currency to buy their oil, they end up like Saddam or Gaddafi c/o the US military.

Unless you're buying domains in bulk, a .com is going to be ~$11/yr even for a reseller. So Cloudflare is assuming you'll buy some additional service down the line. Domain registration is a loss leader. You should be aware

Doubtful, I think Webb only sees in the infrared. Looking at the earth would blind it. This is why it'll be a million miles away protected by a fancy heat shield.
