I think you might be misreading alienicecream's tone. Maybe I'm naive, but I'd like to think that he wasn't accusing you of being a shill. I think he was genuinely wondering about your reasoning. At the least, I am.

Or more directly, maybe they intend to start shooting down our balloons. There were stories last year that the US military was planning to deploy surveillance balloons over Russian and China. Have we indeed been doing so? Here's one

It's almost definitely an error, but I don't think it significantly reduces the chances that Hersh's source is telling the truth. This feels like a detail that Hersh (incorrectly) added to the story, rather than something th

Good piece, and I think he points out some clear problems with the exact events that Hersh describes. I think the lack of a verifiable path for either the ship carrying divers or for the plane that supposedly dropped off the sonobuoy do ma

Isn't this instead a great argument for why the article should be discussed here rather than banned from discussion? It's a great comment, and exactly the sort of useful criticism of the article that might actually change people&

In the first few hours after publication, that would be a reasonable question. But since it's been a full day, and Seymour Hersh hasn't stepped in to say "Hey, that's not me", at this point it's quite reasonab

Thanks, sounds like a great project. Please add a link here to your web site if you ever make it. I try to check my old comments occasionally, so will probably notice eventually.

Agree in general, but this article seems fine for me. I think the placement might depend on screen width. With a narrow screen, the date is right at the top. Wider, it gets moved below a graphic, but still even with the end of the first

Crash here means something like "speedy" or "rushed". It refers to AMD's attempt to modernize their architecture in a hurry, and doesn't have anything to do with how recovers from or deals with crashes. I was

I don't see the word "appearance" in the PDF you linked. Am I missing it? And could you perhaps link to the handwritten response you mention? It seems like it would be useful context.

Instead of jumping to conclusions, I think we should just wait for the body cam footage to become available. While not perfect, it will almost definitely tell a more clearer story than the unsubstantiated claims we've heard so far. W

I've also converted from Trackpoint to trackpad over the years. My solution for "physical mouse buttons" on a Mac laptop involves mapping Caps Lock (left pinky) to Left Click, and Right Option (right pinky) to Right Click.
